    I see 12 Awesomes so far and only 2 Entries. It that CoH giveaway all over again. Come on people, enter! =)

    I'd love a chance to win The Witcher 3, but it's kind of pointless for me to enter anything right now since I couldn't accept it, and I feel it would be in poor form when I'm currently buried under a pile of gifts, let alone having never finished 1 or 2. I think it's an awesome giveaway, though, so kudos.

    I picked up Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 recently.

    I'm not sure if anyone is actually interested in this game, but I though I'd give my thoughts on it.

    I'm definitely interested since my son and I both like 2014 and 2015 looks to have improved on it. Thanks for the write up!

    Edit: Terrible totp. Let me at least add this:

    I don't care who wins, this person won.

    That was certainly one of my favorites, yes. There were so many great ones.

    I think you'll all appreciate the top 5. They're all pretty amazing...

    Maybe it's actually multiple smaller robots that form together into a larger dire wolf robot.

    Hmm. It would appear I've managed to save up just enough money to upgrade my pc's GPU, hard drives, PSU and maybe some case fans. But do I go for the GTX 970 4GB or wait until a 6GB or 8GB version is released? I'd hate to buy the card and then next year all the new games suddenly need 6GB vram.

    I might just wait. I've already waited this long so what's another year?

    I think that, more importantly, the question is: what's your monitor resolution and refresh rate?
    [email protected]

    You're fine with a 970 4GB. That's what I'm running with at 1080p/144Hz and I have zero issues. Yeah, there are some games that I don't want to run godlike textures on, but I don't think it's a huge deal. YMMV.
    That's cool that the games will still look good, but I'm mainly worried about either getting the card now and regretting it when a newer version comes out or the current one becoming cheaper shortly after I buy it for some reason. It's dumb I know, because this concern has kept me from upgrading for years.

    If you do wait, Heatwave, Nvidia is launching their Pascal lineup next year. It's a fairly significant change in architecture that sounds quite exciting. I think that's when I'm going to upgrade.
    That lineup does indeed sound interesting and makes me hesitate even more. :bigfrown:

    Anyway, I haven't played much this week so I think I'll play something later today. Perhaps something short, sweet and easy as heck, since I'm a little hesitant to get my butt handed to me again in Witcher 2 (damn you Nekkers!). Perhaps A Bird Story or maybe start Deponia?

    Decisions Decisions.

    Yeah I wanted to do the same for the charity tourney but settled on the top 3, but it did allow for much bigger prizes. Hopefully I can figure something out for next time or start stockpiling like I assume akajaybay does for the battles.

    Thanks @Raiden333 for Deus Ex: Human Revolution! This one has been on my wishlist for quite a while now.

    And I also have another gift but since I have a pic for this one but not for Raiden's due to his being a code I'm gonna spoiler this one so they take up about the same amount of post space
    This one is from my cousin, actually.

    @Iolo is, as we all know, the Classiest of Classy Bards.

    I mean, I haven't even gotten my son home from the hossipal* yet, and he's throwing out baby-themed games.

    2rmofu97etwy.png

    Well, "baby-themed" in the "It has 'born' in the title"-sense and less in the "kinda like your new son"-sense. Although, now that I ponder a bit, the little guy is aces with Charm spells ... Though maybe they're more like spell-like abilities ...

    * That's what my 3-year-old calls it. This is a change from a couple months ago, when it was a "hoppipal." Kids, right? :biggrin:

    Still more FTL, stealth B. Starts with no shields, a main gun that takes 25 seconds to charge, a cloak that lasts only 10, and barely enough power to run it all. For every one attempt that had a decent shot at surviving the first sector, there were ten that didn't. The luckiest was still an absolute shitshow of a run, the highlight of which was bombing my own shield room in a desperate bid to kill a pack of mantises - after the enemy ship bombed the guys I had fighting said mantises, killing all four and leaving me with two surviving crew.

    I lost eight fucking people over the course of the run, including all starting crew, and even the mantis hero that I picked up from a quest. We limped into the third phase of the final boss with five hull points to spare.

    I would've cheered but the noise probably would've caused a hull breach.

    One day I'll work up the courage to try Hard. One day.

    Yeah I'm terrible at it, but it's fun to play. 5 minute matches seems pretty ideal. Most games see 3-5 goals in that period.

    Part 6 in the case of Taste and Language vs. Penny Arcade Forumites:

    Deliberations continue and the field of candidates for Most Guilty has been narrowed considerably.

    Being the cruel and heartless judge that I am, I'm going to dismiss those who are not Most Guilty in groups, a few at a time. Because everyone loves suspense, amirite?

    (Please do not read anything into the order in which entries are dismissed - first announced does not mean you were worst and first tossed. I'm just picking out of the list.)

    Remember, the task was to find or create an image including one assigned color and two assigned THINGS.

    With all that said, the following entries (names withheld to protect the not-most-guilty) have been sent home, but thanks for playing - all the entries were great fun to look at!

    (click for images)
    21. Kelly Green, Shield, Ewok
    22. Black, Wombat, Poncho
    23. Green, Dinosaur, Pool full of Jell-o
    24. Orange, Caramel Apple, Lighthouse

    (Woo! No blue!)

    Who the fuck cares, you don't always buy games to support developers, you dont always buy games because they're something you'd enjoy. Sometimes you buy games that you don't like because you want to experience something different, sometimes you buy games because you want someone else to laugh at the name, or just to show them that you're thinking of them, or because you just want to send a bad game to someone.

    Buy whatever the fuck you want for whatever reason you want.

    I will own up to the
    18. Green, 57 Chevy Bel Air, SWAT
    entry. When I found the car the color made me think of Gumby, and I dunno. It went from there.
    Unfortunately more of a aqua green. I considered adding in some raining money to better cover the green theme, but by then I'd gotten lazy and decided it was good enough.

    My original idea was to show Cap'n Crunch sighting a final island/tooth to pillage but couldn't figure out a way to incorporate red.

    So my nightmarish "realistic" Cap'n Crunch being eaten by someone eating Cap'n Crunch cereal was born.
