    My other video game addiction: Counter Strike

    ^Made my week. I'M NO LONGER IN GOLD LEAGUE!


  • TreyTrey
    @Dunn, we should play sometime. I suck balls and I'm Gold Nova 2, but it's all good.

  • DunnDunn
    I've been playing altPUG (third party pick up games without skill balancing) recently and I got a lot better playing with Eagle and higher ranks. I was Nova 1-2 when I started altPUG and I started playing regular MM again this week and shot to MG1 pretty quick.

    Getting your ass kicked is so good for learning CS.

    I agree with the caveat 'unless it's a smurf team'. A nova 3 buddy of mine got us into a group with a few double AKs and a single AK, and we. Got. Rekt. I was apologizing for being awful even though I got one of our four kills, and the other guys were like 'no, dude, it's not your fault'. I don't learn anything when there is less than half a second between contact and death for our team, haha.

    i played altpug once on de_train_ve when i was in texas, but now my ping is far too shitty to play on it, since there's a maximum

    at any rate, got this back, my buddy got DMG too

    So let's get this straight: @Trey, @Dunn, @Ellodin and myself play CS:GO. We should join a lobby at some point and play! :D

    @Ellodin's ping made me twitch a little 0_0

    Definitely should play!

    we live in hawaii, it's paradise tax.  that ping's actually really good for what we get, when we start spiking, that's when it gets difficult.  when it stays steady, fly and i have beat up some pretty okay players, like LEMs.

    depends on the map, though.  our normal rotation is dust2/nuke/mirage/inferno.  if i play with you guys, i might start playing a smurf steam account where i've only played 1 MM game that was premade with silver 1s/2s.  lost it, too, that was one of those spiking up to 2000 ping games.  lol.

    edit: oh, my other problem is that i average like 50 fps

    moar cache.


    SteamID: OverEasy


  • EllodinEllodin Hawaii
    i like cache somewhat, i end up playing dm on it about 1/2 of the time i dm.  i actually like train a lot, but most people don't know how to play it...well, most people don't know how to play nuke, and train is more difficult, similar problems though.

  • DunnDunn
    I really like train. I've seen a lot of CEVO matches on it recently so I have a decent idea of how to play it. I got an awesome quad spraydown through smoke at Ivy last time I played train. Good map.


  • TreyTrey
    So I picked up Outlast again for lack of anything better to do (I hadn't gotten very far before), and ran across a pair of brothers in the game that have the -best- dialogue between them I've heard in a while. This game creeps the fuck out of me.


  • NimNim

    I secretly like adventure games (as long as they don't involve hunting for verbs!), and this is the latest one I've played. c:

    Pretty sure I grew a vagina from merely visiting that page.

    I hate to think what prolonged exposure might do.

    The pink burns my eyes.

    Also, I was somehow reminded of Galatea. Its a text game, and you kind of have to hunt for verbs and things to do, but the whole atmosphere of it makes it worth it.

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...


    ...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

  • NimNim
    It's adorable and amazing and it only took me about an hour to get all the endings, so it is well worth the time~

    @Santar: If your masculinity cannot withstand a mere hour of pink fluffiness, I dunno how much you had in the first place. :(
  • MithridatesMithridates
    Think I'm gonna get DayZ.  Worth it at this point?

  • SantarSantar
    Think your best long-term option is to get one of the stand-alone games like the standalone DayZ, or try Rust instead.

  • DunnDunn
    Stand alone is only going uphill so it's worth the investment now for the future product. I had a lot of fun with it, but stopped more recently. 


  • NimNim
    I've also played Dishonored lately, which bears particular mention because the amount of rats wandering around in the game almost seems to match the amount of rats in Achaean cities, if not for the random rat hordes. It's kind of creepy when I think about it like that. >_>

    The more you're a horrible killing machine and take the 'evil' options, the more rats you'll find in the city.

    I discovered Battle for Wesnoth some years ago. It is a fantasy strategy game, turn based. There are a lot of units, with experience level, campaigns, multiplayers…and it is all completely free. It is a very good piece of software, easy to play, but hard to master. I thought to mention it now, because maybe you are not aware of this gem.

    You can play on any OS and on tablets too (it is not free on tablets, though). It is kind of addictive, but very, very fun. Did anyone ever hear about it?

    I risked a RL divorce over DA: ORIGINS. Now I have two kids, come on Bioware, let me go....(last summer I replayed all the BGEE 1 and 2, and my RL wife got worried again).

    Honestly, I expect DA: INQUISITION to be way better as the DA2 (easy call) but Morrigan does not look as hot as I expected. Bad sign.

    Also, I know that it was previously mentioned in the forums. Faster Than Light has a new update, with new weapons, systems, and a new race too. A precious gem!

    I've heard that no one really plays Rust anymore due to too many hackers and no content updates in like forever.

    I've finally picked up D3 again and made a Crusader with the expansion pack
  • CylaCyla Yggdrasil
    @Trey my friend surprised me by buying Outlast a few days ago. We got as far as the very end of the Administration Block, but got stuck after being beat to death 5-6 times. If those jerks had a set pattern for where they walked we could've done it. :(

    Dark Souls 2 in 5 hours.

  • PrimrosePrimrose
    Dark Souls 2 is a horrid experience with a keyboard and mouse. I fear I must purchase a PC controller to truly enjoy it.

    Perhaps I should pick up an X1 controller instead of a 360 controller and wait for the drivers.
  • MithridatesMithridates
    I figured it would be... kind of why I don't get AC games for PC. Unfortunately I don't have a console right now so I'm kinda shit outta luck.
