Just got an Xbox One yesterday, so playing what came with it, Ryse and Evolve. Also signed up for EA Access so been playing games from the vault. Also just finished The Walking Dead Season 2 on Steam and always mix in some WoW and CS:GO.

Getting myself hyped up for Arkham Knight so I recently played through Arkham Asylum again, and just started Arkham City back up, then I'll move onto Arkham Origins again. I know most of you probably could play through those in a few days, but I'm lucky to get an hour a week :) So by the time Knight comes out, I should be all ready for it!

Damn that was some good banta :)

 

Far Cry 4 for me.  Story isn't too compelling which is great for me because I don't feel driven to get in and finish it asap to find out what happened.  Loving picking up the game intermittently when I need a break from work and zone out for 30 mins or so in Kyrat.

 

Want to get onto Grey Goo next, then might go back to beyond earth and by then Witcher 3 should be out at which time friends, family and work will not see me for a couple of weeks.

Grabbed Farcry 4 on sale today and also the hardcore enhancement mod. Still downloading but got bored with Metal Gear Rising so I'll play this one for a bit. I hope something good I really like comes out this year. Maybe I'll get lucky and see a Fallout 4 this year or something.

Dota 2 for my regular gaming. Finished Dying Light a few days after release and still playing a bit of Dragon Age here and then which I'm finding a bit of a bore fest. I have done 100 hours or so the first week or two when it was released (and was loving it) but Uni got in the way. Trying to play it now and I have no clue what is happening and it just seems so slowwwwww :/

After finishing Dying Light (fun, 7/10) and almost beating DA Inquisition (90 hours in, and so bored of it now, due to wasting time on side missions)  I am back to far cry 4.   beat the story 50%.   looking forward to the rest.

 

 

 

i have to learn my lesson, but my gaming ADD always takes me on side quests, so much so, that, by the time i get back to the story, i overplayed the game, and cannot be bothered.

Inquisition is a perfect example. I did so many side quests, that I was exhausted and bored of it now.  

I tried to do final mission, but I am not strong enough to finish it. And I cannot be bothered to do more stuff to level up.

Should have chose a wizard not a rogue. Would have being much easier.

 

 

also,   90 hours!    many people might think it is OK, but it is a NEW RECORD for me. that is why i try to avoid RPGs...     I hate them, until I put enough time in it to get attached, and then I find it hard to quit.

I am so glad I am bored of DA:I now.   

 

World of Warcraft, 10 years strong, not quitting anytime soon ;p

 

I can only feel for WoW people,  the game never ends..   ###### me sideways it eats up ALL your spare time.

Throw your job in, divorce your partner, abandon your kids. Game on.

 

 

 

 

:rofl:

 

at the moment i have none of that.   so, no problems! :shiftyninja:

 

i used to be a penthouse party bachelor for way too long... i gave up that lifestyle.

but i am not willing to give up my video games.   this was what defined my childhood in the 90s and it will always be with me.

i only hope i can find i partneress that tolerates my video gaming habits.  

 I am back to far cry 4.   beat the story 50%.   looking forward to the rest.

 

 

Was walking past EBGames (Aus version of Gamestop) with a bag of beer and noticed FC4 Kyrat edition on special. I tried to resist, but since I really liked FC3 & Blood Dragon I grabbed FC4. Pagan Min statue is sitting above my monitor with his hand pyramid of evil contemplation right now.

I'm still playing Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. I started playing it when I received it just after its launch in Autumn. However with certain personal issues that have occurred over the past few months, I just haven't had the time to continue playing it. I'll jump on it every now and again, but I'm no longer sure exactly where I am in the story and what's going on! Maybe if I get the time in the future to play it I'll start it again, but I doubt it.

    • 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.

    • 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/
