    Decided to get Stranded Deep since I was having so much fun with H1Z1.

    I am fully expecting it to be like the others they just fixed the "memeory leak" issue, though I didnt think the other ones were terrible they just got real laggy.

    Cities skylines looks promising though, if nothing else its appears to be a pretty game.
    Completely passed on this as it's not much of an update. However, I will be PRE-ORDERING Cities Skylines... so excited!!!

    It's a video game...really....it's not the end of the world.

    Back to the online world, when I walk through places, i.e. the Austin Airport it's amazing how 90%+ of the people are plugged into their phones, laptops etc...no one makes eye contact, no one speaks...if the internet or their data plans went down those people would be like lost sheep.


    We also notice it in sports, when I started as an usher at Kyle Field and prior, when I was a student it was freaking LOUD! Now not so much, the entire student body is on their phones, they are surfing the web, chatting, posting on FB or something other than yelling at the game...it's disappointing. Look on T.V. when they show the crowd, at pretty much any sporting event, look at home many of the people are on their phones.

    my 2 cents.

    After playing XXL a little bit, it is pretty much what I expected its XL with some updates but not many. Is it terrible...nope actually if your main goal is making a pretty city its pretty good, if you want something along the line of SimCity when population management is equally as important then you wont like the game.

    I really don' t get why he is so popular actually I think its irritating but whatever...differences make the world go round.

    People are truly addicted to the internet its kinda sad actually, even when I have my days at work when its slow I run out of stuff to look for pretty fast because I don't care about celebrity news, I don't want to read out the worlds problems ( mostly because of agenda biases), so if I am not looking for anything specific I don't actually look for long.

    It does get him users and money so I give him that, even if I don't really understand why.

    I have spent about an hour or two on it. It's definitely cool if you like these type of survival games where you gotta loot, scavenge, and figure out how to put shit together.

    I'm still on my first playthrough and haven't died yet. Made it to day two, food was my biggest worry at first so I had to set sail on my life raft with a shark knocking me off in the dark to get to another island that had a lot of crabs I could kill for food. I thought dropping the crabs on the campfire would cook them, but they still make you sick after eating a few in a row LOL. I need to look that up how to cook.

    Sounds pretty cool.

    Yeah I like games like that, especially with that particular setting/objective.

    Wanted something with multiplayer too but unsure if my computer here at work can handle H1Z1. All but my graphics is up to spec

    Here's how you can tell if your PC can run it - http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

    Yeah some people find these games boring, but I don't.

    Thanks, never used that tool before..then again I don't game on PC usually.

    Says video card meets minimum requirements but says upgrade suggested.

    Odd because my card has dedicated ram of 1.0 GB, the minimum the game says is 512 MB lol. Of course I know that is under the 2 GB for reccomended.

    Speaking of which found a bunch of The Sims games other day packing stuff up. Didn't know I had all of those editions of it lol

    Just bought a new video card, EVGA GeForce GTX 960, a nice upgrade from my 460. I don't play PC games very often anymore but the one thing this does make me want to do is play Fallout 3 since I haven't played it in so long.

    Anyone else picking up Cities Skylines when it drops on March 10th??? I pre-ordered last week to get some of the extra stuff. The game looks very sim cityish except that it's way bigger.

    Big city limits and workshop support so people can add in buildings or other mods.. ....I think they are basically using the same engine.
