Tomorrow I do my 24-hour straight gaming marathon for Extra Life's fundraiser.

 

Got both seasons of Walking Dead for PS4 (already played them on PS3, but easy trophies hey) and Shadows of Mordor brand new as well.

 

If I get bored I'll fire up some TLOU multiplayer or NHL15.

Randal's Monday

 

 

i am a point and click adventure fan and when i saw it meantioned in one of the articles on xmas game shopping here at neowin i though i would give it a go.

it is brutal, i mean it funny and has tons of references to other games/ movies and such... and it got drinking/puking/crude humor.

i wish something like that was available when i was in college years and years ago.   i would have loved it and played it with friends, to solve the puzzles. 

 

now i am on day 3 of 7 and i think i am just going to quit it.  taking way to much time, with little reward.    first 2 days were pretty good though, but i don't have the time to click everything and use everything on everything. and reading hints is not hints, it is a walk-though.

 

not a bad game, some geniuine laughs, if you used to be a slacker video gamer drinking and trying to act cool in college  (like i was :blush: )

i am going to replay portal 2.  what a great game. and last time i had to resort to guide to get me though some tough spots.  this time i am going blind.  long enough time went by, for the game to feel reasonably fresh again!

 

 

 

I'm not really a gamer anymore tho. I do other web based things.

people game for fun.    what other web based things you do for fun?   :shifty:

Currently:

 

Skyrim(on and off, few quests a week)

F1 2014

AND I just bought GTA IV for PC to rekindle the love in preparation for GTA V coming out on PC. :)

 

I have been a bit addicted to TV series and movies lately after work so haven't gamed much. That may change as I have second GFX card on the way this week for the fun.

AND I just bought GTA IV for PC to rekindle the love in preparation for GTA V coming out on PC. :)

 

ggghhh,     i disliked GTA IV a lot, what a disappointment.   looking forward to GTA V though,  as it looks more like GTA III Vice City and San Andreas...  both amazing games.

 

i heard some extra expansion packs for GTA IV were better, but i got the original on day 1, and after giving it a fair go of about 10 hours, i did not like it.    for many reasons. 

watching the GTA V gameplay on PS3,  i am feeling that GTA V has corrected those mistakes and it look fun again!

 

 

 

Sleeping Dogs definitive edition is a brilliant game, and it was the game I loved to play way better then GTA IV.  Cars, open world, missions, story....  everything was better in Sleeping Dogs!

In fact it was Sleeping Dogs, that took the GTA formula and improved it in the way I wanted.    

So I will just pretend Sleeping Dogs was GTA IV and then comes the GTA V.  ;)

people game for fun.    what other web based things you do for fun?   :shifty:

I code for people (Sort of a beginner at it tho)

Myself and some friends had a server hosting company for a while.

I also set Vps servers up for people who don't know what there doing.

And more. that's just some of the web based things I get up to.

 

But as I said when I do decide to get on a game its CS:GO

What issues did you find in GTA IV? And I will look into Sleeping dogs a bit more, a few of my colleagues say its very good :)

i can't remember all of them, but the atmosphere was not right,  the missions were less fun,  there were less random missions (like remote helicopter), the setting was off....

 

not sure really.    the GTA III games (well, the original was ok,  but the 2 - vice city and san andreas)  were so much fun!    after 10 hours in GTA IV, i did not feel much fun.

 

 

original Mafia game was amazing too (another game similar to gta)     mafia II was crap though...

different gameplay.. well not crap, it was still ok, but after setting your expectation by the game you love.. it was not as fun.

And recently finished Witcher 2. What a fun game, looking to play it again following the elves history.

 

 

Elves side is way better.      I played it first.     I did recently replay the game to see the Roche's side.  It was good, but I did enjoy the elves better. 

 

Have fun.  But give it a while before replay. It's better that way. Replay it just before Witcher 3.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display.

Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
