Played my share of DotA/LoL/Dota 2, but I lost my taste for them. Too much of a hassle and a time sink, IMO.

agree completely, It's really hard to enjoy that game and to also have enough time to you know, have a life

I work in the industry. I have logged hundreds of hours in games like Fallout…for the last 6 months, I've kept myself away from gaming so that I will actually finish some music projects…I even have Last of Us and Dishonered unopened waiting to play…I think the kicker will be when Titanfall drops…I want to play that pretty badly…it will force me to buy an Xbox one…

Ugh, Texture Pack Combiner is really helpful - but annoyingly tedious to set up. Need to rework my Skyrim Mods, it was playing fine until a crash happens after 5 minutes of play. My order was never set up right and I just put piled the mods up and had multiple texture mods of the same type.

I guess that mod lists are set up similarity to a pedal board; some things work better before or after.

Man, the recent price drop of Dark Souks on XBL has made for some hilarious invasions/encounters with noobs that can't handle it haha

Picked up Splinter Cell: Blacklist on the weekend steam sale.

Not sure how I feel yet - but it seems like a solid, well done 'one playthrough' sort of game. Plus, I love my Stealthy games.

EDIT:
It's actually pretty well optimized on PC, looks really nice without any framerate issues. Just the usual Uplay b/s

I'm not sure that I could hate online gaming communities more, but I don't want to test it by playing a DOTA-style game.

+1 for troof

DotA is really the type of game where you NEED to act as team.

Has anyone looked into Steam game streaming? I have been looking pretty extensively at it and I am considering get a gtx 780 so I can have the most performance out of my machine.

You mean like on Twitch tv? I have streamed a little bit in the past. Basically you need a decent computer and a GOOD (not less than good) internet connection. a GTX 780 should be WAY more than plenty. You should also have a good CPU and at least 8 GB of ram of course.

It really sucks that so many games uses CPU power as opposed to actual Graphics Cards.

But i've been thinking of doing a low commentary playthrough for a while now - not to be a wanker YT Let's Player but just something to do. Thinking Deus Ex: HR Directors Cut.

I am talking more about Steam Streaming. AKA Nivida shield and shit.
