See, I upgraded from a GTX 970 to an RTX 2080, and I replaced my aging Samsung 1080p TN panel monitor with a 4K LG IPS display, and I gotta say I don’t actually notice a ton of difference. I mean yeah, 4K looks better than 1080p, but not so much over 1440p (which I occasionally drop down to when I’m playing a…

The lack of big exclusives was really the thing. I liked Forza, but I could have lived without it (and then it came to PC, so I don’t have to!). No, the only reason I bought (and haven’t sold) my Xbox One X is because the 360 was my console of choice during the previous generation due to Sony’s missteps with the PS3,…

OK, for the electricians in the audience... the previous owners of my house had a hot tub. They took it with them when they moved, but for the tub they put a sub-breaker in the garage with a 220v line out. Am I ahead of the game if I want to install a Level 2 charger in the garage, or is it going to be roughly the…

Did you insurance cover any of it?  A good friend of mine has MS, and he bought a Braun Ability-converted Dodge Caravan several years ago.  They had to pay the for the Caravan itself, but they got insurance to pay for all of Braun Ability’s conversion.

We really lucked out finding our pediatrician.

I love this.  It sounds like Larian is working hard to account for some of the out-of-the-box thinking that happens sometimes at the table.  Reminds me of the time my DM got a new monster manual back in the 3E days.  The DM was eager to try some of the new variants in the book, so he threw some crystalline trolls at…

Noice. Smort.

Definitely Community. Abed always does it just like that, one “cool” on its own followed by a group of three. Peralta says “cool” multiple times, but in a less consistent fashion and sometimes sprinkled with a few “no doubt”s.

I loved KOTOR and Jade Empire, and Neverwinter Nights is one of my all-time favorites (I’m actually playing through the Enhanced Edition on Steam right now). I was super stoked for DA:O. How could I not be? I actually played through it and the expansion twice, once as a fighter on my own, and then a second time with a…

In video games I usually do my first playthrough as good, because it seems like that’s the default expectation. Now, if there’s no major difference (like, say, doing a no-kill run in Deus Ex vs killing everyone) I’ll leave it at that, but for games where part of the story might be different (like basically every…

I’ll buy (again) any and all MegaTen games they care to put on Steam.

This list needs more Gojira.

I’ve yet to try to finagle a way to play PS4 on the can, and despite having a good gaming laptop there isn’t an outlet close enough to the crapper for me to have a go with that.

PC Game Pass!  I signed up when it was a buck so I could play The Outer Worlds, then promptly forgot about it after I finished the game.  I knew there was a reason I never canceled it...

Nope. 20 years ago, maybe.  But I’m 40 now, I have a kid and responsibilities.  I have the disposable income to buy more games than I could afford as a kid, and less free time to play them.  I don’t do multiplayer, I don’t play competitively.  I play to unwind and enjoy the story/world/characters/etc.  Generally…

What? A game from an American publisher founded by (probably white) Americans, directed by (definitely white) Americans, and written by no one with a remotely Asian name doesn’t have a system for making good haiku?  I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked!

I’m in for both SMTs, but I hope one of the things that gets remastered in 3 is the difficulty. I know Nocturne was actually harder than the original release in Japan, but that game was brutal. I had to use a Gameshark in the final boss, and the fight went on for two hours because it kept healing at a rate close to…

You have to ask yourself what you really want. Are you just looking to save some money because you already have a laptop, and you figure adding an eGPU will give you access to PC gaming? As the author points out this is still more expensive than buying a new console. Buying hardware for PC gaming just isn’t cheap; if…

@MechXican, was that shot on a PS4 Pro?  I’ve had my PS4 since launch and couldn’t justify upgrading to the Pro since since I’m more of a PC guy, but the foxes I’ve found definitely don’t look that good.
