Just found out you can sell the useless virtual trading cards that Steam gives you for playing games. I've only made like $1 but, seriously?!

EVE Online, folks. Jeeze.

I saw that earlier, so ridiculous. EVE's one of those games that I love the idea of, but dislike actually playing. More spreadsheets than an accounting class.
The music and graphics in EVE are seriously awesome, too...

I tried out EYE: Divine Cybermancy 'cause you guys are getting me all hyped for Cyberpunk, but...ehhhhhhh. I'm kinda biased against Source games 'cause they all feel like Half-Life 2 mods. I know that sounds stupid, but it just doesn't feel "right". It doesn't bug me when other games use, say, the Unreal engine, so I dunno why...

I don't really get E.Y.E myself, I think that it's better for Co-Op.

I actually am looking forward to Watch Dogs myself, I just want a game where I can sneak around and hack shit without having to murder 50 thousand 'innocent' security guards. I like First Person games, I just hate the connotation that they have.

I've got a really uncomfortable feeling that Watchdogs will just play like an assassins creed game with a marginally better plot. Could be cool for some people but I never really liked them all that much.

That's kind of why I never finished Remember Me. I like actually moving around myself - where I want, without having to stand next to something and press 'E' to climb a wall. Now, Dishonored 2 needs to be in a Sci-Fi setting and i'll have my perfect game.

There's a video from VaatiVidjya, too. I've watched them both. So excited for Dark Souls II, fuckin' a!!!

[leaves turn]

I hadn't seen Vaati's vid, more info more hnnnnnnng

I convinced myself not to buy a PS3 but my roommates do have a 360... I could buy it for that and play during the wait for PC...

Why the fuck does Train Simulator have over three-thousand dollars of DLC

Do it!

Oh God, I found a cheaper gtx780. All the pixels. All of them.

I think that I missed out on the 3 free games though, I only wanted Black Flag - was going to give away the codes for Batman and Splinter Cell (I already have them)

[jfrey]

I need a new game that has good co-op. The only one of my friends that is halfway decent in Dota 2 is getting bored of it, and it's one of only a few games I play anymore. I have a hard time getting into games unless they are very mentally challenging.

[leaves turn]

Co-op, eh?
How about Metal Slug 3 and Dark Souls 2 /spam

[Grrface]

Do yourselves a favor and go get Octodad: Dadliest Catch. Hilarious and fun.

Eh, only about $65 au below normal retail prices.

Weeeeelllll, this looks kind of cool.

EDIT:
Finally got a 360 controller, I'm going to try the Dark Souls that I have on disk in my room somewhere. But I'm finally able to play FFVII comfortably on PC for once. It has been slammed for looking pretty bland on PC, but if you have a decent sized monitor and can get a little further away from the screen then you'll have a pretty good experience because the textures blend a little nicer.
