playing games on a PC, misc. chatter, Steam names, etc...

oh he started this thread. lol at me

Jeff's still around.

hey jeff

he's "around" but hiding

i get it, having your real name up on the internets leads to bad things

Having recently purchased a 75cm balance ball thanks to too much airline mileage, I'm finding using that as a seat works quite well, and hopefully will help my back.

ive gone for this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360780343850?var=630177739385&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

wondering if to start an ilg 'show us yr gaming chair' thread

dunno how you sit on that and use a keyboard and mouse but it looks comfy

i've decided i'm going to be one of these people

gona get something like this, but worried it might not be long enough. could just end up using a big mirror. willing to go the extra mile in search of dayz-playing comfort (and to avoid developing a hunch)

I looked at this

http://www.mass365.com/c/58/p/595/2013-new-modern-luxury-relax-pu-office-computer-chair-with-ottoman

more upright but still looks like it would be good esp for gamepad games. I think anything requiring mouse and key/b will still end up with me hunched over with my spine in a knot.

i imagine if you want a comfy PC chair, you're going to need a swing out desk attachment for the kb/mouse

looks good that one, similar to the one im getting but without massagey bits and half the price. not even fussed about massage, might be an interesting bonus (plus way of convincing gf it's a good investment for everyone). really hoping a large lap tray + small mouse & mini keyboard will be enough to set me on the long lazy road to uncurling my spine

ppl have spent a long time thinking about how to accomplish comfy laid back k/b&mouse gaming

lol

update: recliner chair v good. not tried out massage/heat stuff, not all that interested. spine beginning long hard journey to vertical.

currently playing might & magic X. very good times imo. hard tho - i did choose the harder difficulty setting but it is not fucking around. feel like this will get me in fighting trim for dark souls 2.

As mentioned in P&C, Humble Bundle 11 is out.
Guacamelee!
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
The Swapper
BTA games: The Swapper, Monaco

Of course, I bought four of these games without playing them last year. You can thank me for my imprudence that led to this turn of events.

i got kingdoms of amular: the reckoning at some point. it looks like shit and the writing is for 5 year olds. i guess the "combat" is supposed to be the highlight, if you are big into button mashing. yuck.

this looks pretty cool - and available for mac!

i don't know when this happened, but my brother just tipped me off that planescape torment is now available for the mac on gog

someone doesn't have the mac thread bookmarked!

I bought a bunch of PS3 controllers mainly so I could play TOWERFALL with friends on my Mac

Spintires is back!

I played the original non-steam mini game back then, the dirt physics was incredible. Haven't tried this full version yet but looks like a ton of cool new features and trucks.

Might have to wait for a deal though, £20 a bit out of my range right now

my email tells me that "Sunless Sea is now available on Steam!" - plz to emil.y playing it and telling me how it is?

i may have to get it myself asap. based on the screenshots alone it looks amazing

Sims 2 & all expansions for free until July 31st - on the downside you have to install Origin :p

thanks

plugged it in, realized i got Sims 3 in that EA Humble Bundle way back when lol

ngl the entire sims 2 collection for free has me childishly excited. i never got beyond the "nightlife" expansion back in the day, so all this shit with pets and vacations and seasons is brand-new to me.

normally i hate watching Let's Plays, but there's no way in hell i'm going to actually put on a pair of headphones and play 5 Nights At Freddy's.

Lots of Shovel Knight lately

I'll admit to watching lets plays of star craft 2 because all I cared about was the cutscenes and the story.

thats maybe the nerdiest thing I've every typed.

I had a period a month back or so where I really got hardcore into Rogue Legacy. One of those games I thought was pretty decent, played for a few hours, dropped it for six months and forgot about it. Came back and tore into it like a wild animal.

I got a somewhat decent graphics card recently, an R7 260x. Any suggestions for impressive looking games that aren't shooters or real-time strategy?

Witcher 2?

Steam just put up "Recycle: Garbage Truck Simulator", which further goes to prove how german gamedevs(and euro sim-freaks) are effing weird.

Apparently game was released broken, too:

my sisters and I finally worked up the courage to play Five Nights at Freddy's. the goal is to survive from 12 AM to 6 AM each night without getting murdered by grinning animatronics, and we made it to Night 3, 5 AM before Freddy himself jumped out of FUCKING NOWHERE and killed us. it's definitely best played in a group because the gameplay can be repetitive/bordering on tedious, but the tension and dread it evokes in the group just keeps ramping up until it's almost unbearable. "god i've checked the hallway outside this room 50 times and nothing's out there, i guess i'll check again HOLY FUCK A MURDEROUS GRINNING CHICKEN SHUT THE DOOR."

kinda tempted to pull the trigger on the Binding of Isaac remake, but i just know it's gonna get humble bundled within a few months...

is spacebase df-9 as cool as it looks?

I can't find it above and nearly joined the "I Love Glock" group - what is the name of the ILX steam group?

If it's "ILX Steam Group" I quit now.

smock weed

no, i don't know who decided that; 'twas before my time

Joined! I'm sure the name made sense at the time.

Pretty sure when I set the group up I just named it ILG and left all the other fields blank, but then I always feel like I should make everyone who joins into an admin so there's no hierarchy which means all the other group settings are just down to various people tinkering here and there over the years.
