How To Survive - Not the best game out there and doesn't seem to be the longest, but quite enjoyable, cannot wait to see how co-op pans out in December.

Arkham City

BF4 (when it releases)

CoD:  Black Ops (Ahh the joy of dedi-servers)

  • 3 months later...

How do you get so many mods working at once? I can get 4 or 5 loaded and thats it before it starts crashing. Either manual install of mods or automatic with nexus.

Deadly Combat with DW Plugin, Empowered Magic, Deadly Dragons. 
Then I got loads of graphical mods, such as Enhanced Distant Details and LOD's, HD Texture Packs. Sound mods to improve the atmosphere, Clanking armor and Sounds Of Skyrim to name a few. Immersion mods such as foot prints, cloaks, weapons and armor, Convenient Horses, Skyrim Immersive Creatures. 
I'm a big fan of being able to easily remove a plugin without loosing too much aka modularity.

 

OT: I play SimCity, Minecraft and a lot of Tremulous. Used to play a lot of Enemy Territory before that died out. I like the older FPS games a lot more then modern ones. I do have BF3, Sniper Ghost Warrior and such but I play that very little.

It's a nice game; despite all the criticism.

 

It is a good game, especially with the Cities of Tomorrow expansion DLC. Plus the offline maps are coming (with the obvious missing social features that REQUIRE the internet).

 

The bit that ****es me off that they're so adamant on ignoring is MASSIVE request for larger maps :(.

The bit that pisses me off that they're so adamant on ignoring is MASSIVE request for larger maps :(.

Well; they came out and said the game would get too taxing because the engine has to track so many different objects in the map that are all running at the same time; influencing each other etc. I can see how that is limiting the map size.

Well, lately, StarCraft 2..   PC, (Both versions) As I am disappointed with my ps4 purchases,

 

 

Killzone Shadowfall..  PS4,  I really don't like what they did to it, if I wanted to play generic style shooters I am spoiled for choice in the Call of Duty and Battlefield Franchises, the whole point of that game was it was a little too 'juvenile', for lack of a better word, for some gamers.

 

Need for Speed Rivals..  PS4,  It wasn't a bad diver, but it felt too much like a blending of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted (Both of those titles are great in their own rights) I guess I didn't know what I was expecting from it.

 

Resogun..  PS4,  This isn't my normal purchses (and wouldn't have been if it weren't for the fact it was free) This was actually a very addictive side scroller, reminded me a little of Defender way back when..

 

 

Currently, I am waiting for Mad Max, Diablo and Destiny for the PS4...

Warframe.. PS4, a free-to-play cooperative third-person shooter / hack and slash. Fast paced action game but gets repetitive because it requires a lot of grinding to get good items.

 

 

Clash of Clans.. IOS, Addictive little mobile game, kinda like C&C series but more childish and more suited to mobile devices.

And a bit of Fifa 14.. PS4.

 

Last of Us: Left Behind (PS3)

-Finishing this up tonight, but its been great so far, recommended for anyone that enjoyed the main game. The story and character development really make it worth it to me. Considering the chracters involved, it has a different feeling story wise.

Titanfall (XB1)

-Played some on my own just trying to get a feel for it, but played some with my firends today and it was definitely more enjoyable. Its not the most serious shooter out there thanks to its more arcade-like feel, something along the lines of COD, but it can get very fun when your playing with a squad that works together and against other players that know what they are doing.

NBA 2K14 (XB1)

-Another game that I only own becuase my firends and I wanted a competitive sports title to play and are usual mainstay, college football, is gone for now. Its been fun, but I have to admit that I have serious problems with the shooting mechanics. This is the first basketball game I have played in a very long time so maybe all of them are like this, but shots can feel quite random at times.

Games coming soon:

Infamous: Second Son (PS4)

-Most excited for this game at the moment

P v Z: Garden Warfare (XB1)

-Great couch co-op/smartglass experience, looks like fun. My wife is a big fan of the PvZ series, so we will be playing a good amount of this.

Bravely Default (3DS) - having a hard time putting this down! Enjoying the hell out of it.

 

Tales of Xillia (PS3) - been plugging away at this for awhile now. Still having fun with it, the combat is great.

 

Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3) - late to the party but I got Lightning Returns as a gift so I figured I should end XIII-2 first.

 

Hearthstone (PC) - my game when I just want to blow 10 minutes. Arena is a blast.

 

Planetside 2 (PC) - my shooter of choice; so much fun.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
