    I was thinking about streaming some pinball FX2 Saturday night but it turns out that's my 6th wedding anniversary so I may get into trouble for that, if anyone would be interested in watching Friday night around 9 PM UK time I should be good for it, I could start a little later if that's better for anyone wanting to watch. I'll probably attempt to beat my Sorcerers Lair high score and I may even use a mic to try explain what's going on if there's any interest? I know @jclast expressed interest before but probably can't watch the live stream so I would also need somebody (@DyasAlure comes to mind) to tell me how to archive the stream

    You can choose mature content here as well, I swear, so added it.

    Twitched changed this to try and save space. Lot of people don't archive, so they save space by default.

    I don't mind the thong warriors with the crazy cleavage if you make them space elves or something rediculous to reflect their origins. They don't mind running around in little clothing because they've got the power cosmic pumping through their veins after tricking a god into drinking poison......that actually sounds like a fun mod, fallen god is your wingman and he's got goofy powers like flaming cheese fireball and summon dire crab.

    Oh my gosh, having sick kids is awful, but being sick while kids are well is its own special hell. I just want them to play quietly while I concentrate on not to throw up. Stupid stomach but. Hopefully it is gone tomorrow. Also, sick days are nowhere near as cool as when I was a kid. I needed extra sleep so didn't get out of bed until 1:00 PM and as a rewars I'm nursing both a stomachache and a backache.

    At least I get a pinball stream archive to watch tomorrow!

    I posted my scared in the bathroom in doom 3. I listed to broadcast, so working on my mic setup today.
    problem is the video on how to someone posted isn't working as VB cable refuses to download. Issue not on my end.

    Edit:
    @jeix - suggestions where I can find VB Cable? It refuses to download, and I can't work on mic?

    Trails in the Sky appears to be having some fairly widespread issues if anyone is on the fence. May want to wait a few days for them to patch things up, it's a bit wonky right now. They've already released one small patch so they're working on it, at least.

    Yeah, XSEED did some pretty good work fixing the issues that cropped up with the Ys games, so they'll probably fix those problems too.

    I'll try my best to catch the stream, but I won't be able to stay too long as I do have work that night. I haven't given up on Sorceror's Lair, but I'll be damned if it isn't slow going trying to beat your new score. What are the top scores globally on that table, anyway, and how do I check them? I remember someone saying we had at least top 40 worldwide before, but I'm not even sure how to look that up.

    Actually, scratch that last part. We're not even close to top 40. @rikdaly has the 268th top score on Sorceror's Lair and I have 336.

    Hey Steam Thread. I just recently got back into PC gaming after several years of not having a gaming machine, and I'm looking to find some friends to play with and game recommendations and all that. Currently I've got the Bioshock Trilogy and most of the Valve Games. Any other recommendations that will show off the power of my new machine? (i5, 16GB, SSD, R9 270X 4GB if that makes a difference). If anyone wants to friend me on Steam I'm pacothesage. Anyways, hello everyone.

    I once stole a jet from a military base, flew to another military base, trailed a cargo jet that was always taking off as I arrived, jumped out of my jet, grappeled to the cargo jet, and took it over.

    Two games beat in a single day - not too shabby.

    The Wolf Among Us definitely lived up to the hype; Telltale has knocked it out of the park once again. I'm going to read up on some ending discussions later today as I've got a few questions, but overall I'm really satisfied with it.

    Shadowrun Dragonfall was absolutely excellent. Aside from the less than perfect combat (I think XCOM has ruined us all), there was a lot to love. Each of your fellow runners got their own little narrative arc (Glory had the best one, I reckon) and I was actually quite torn about which way to go on several key decisions in the latter portion of the game. It's not between good or evil, or even the same as The Witcher where you're choosing between two or more ambiguously bad options. They were just choices I had to live with, one way or the other. End game spoilers below, watch out!
    With one round to go in the final fight in the room with Feuerschwinge, I hesitated at the console. There's a good chance that Dr Vauclair is right (and confirmed that the Great Dragon Lofwyr had manipulated my circumstances before even the start of the game) and ending the dragons would put humans (probably not metahumans) on the top of the food chain once again. But, would that be such a good thing? There's so much I don't know about the circumstances surrounding the Awakening that taking out the biggest players doesn't seem like such a great idea. They've gotta be 'round for a reason and, to use an analogy put forward in the epilogue, I'd hate to be the moth that killed all humanity. And after talking to Feuerschwinge about the circumstances of its Awakening in the Sixth World, I could understand its outrage. It didn't deserve to die.

    I love games with a great ending, and yesterday I got two of 'em! I feel so lucky.

    Now the schedule is clear for Wasteland 2, which hopefully is now less than a month away. Timed that rather well, I reckon :smile:

    Done! Thanks! I was wondering about those. Just got Tomb Raider and the Humble Bundle (because it contained Just Cause 2) thanks to the above recommendations. I want to try out the others as well, but I'll give my wallet some time to recuperate. (I get the feeling my wallet will never recuperate). Thanks for the recommendations!

    You can make a free account at firefallthegame.com and Firefall is AWESOME SUPER GOOD FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.


    I strongly suggest installing and playing it if you like logging into a game, shooting a whole bunch of stuff with friends, then logging out and coming back whenever you want to shoot some stuffs.

    Maaaan. People talking about Trails. Makes me want it so bad...I hope I'll be able to get it on payday, but had to get an emergency new TV, so I dunno. I DO know it's gonna be great. But emergency new TV had to come first....

    Hmmm. I can probably use this one as a PC monitor. It might work correctly this time.

    I'm not sure what that means in terms of Yogscast getting a bunch of heat though. The only thing I can think of is a ton of people are pissed that they put money towards a game that is basically never going to exist.

    They should make some kind of way to add friends in games that way you can see when they're on and playing stuff and just group with them, or make like huge collections of people that decide to join as a larger group in game with a shared chat system and stuff. Once they figure out how thats done, internet gaming will really take off!

    With all this talk of Trails, I should really complete it on the PSP, I'm about 60-75% of the way through it. I'll probably see myself picking it up on Steam eventually on sale because I must serve, and that sort of action of porting great games should be supported.

    Yea, that was not smart on their part though I'm not surprised at all. They got a ton of shit for the 9/11 joke they made in one of their Garry's Mod videos and basically told everyone to get over it from what I remember.
