    Thanks for the tip! Added to my Steam wish list.
    I have wicked A.A.D.D. and a pile of shame to match. If there's a game I'm loving the most on PC it is




    I have yet to finish it though.

    I tried to finish Force Unleashed II but watching the walk throughs, what I have left is really tedious. I'm so close though.

    This is embarrassing.

    I am playing War Robots. It's an arcade-ish 3rd person Mechwarrior style game. I like it because it's got a faster pace than Mechwarrior, and is intense.

    But the game is utterly fiendish in it's attempts to remove money from you. Example, not only do you have to buy guns to get the best ones, you have to upgrade them, a LOT. And then you have to upgrade your nuclear power module to get enough power to max weapons and shields. It never stops. You can buy drones, and upgrade them, but you have to buy their virtual cpu seperately, and upgrade that.

    If you don't restrain yourself, the rise in costs is literally exponential. You do get in game money for fighting. But you get hundreds of thousands. Upgrading my favorite mech would take about 50 MILLION, and it's a tiny improvement. If you were to buy 50 million with real money, that's about 10 bucks. And the step after that will be about 20% more expensive.

    Fortunately, I'm only in it for the fighting. :dual:

    I played around with it a bit. Good game. A hack n slash rpg with some nice art work. I think it is only $10 through steam.

    I was thinking to start a thread on this but I'll talk here.

    How many people own PC games you never ever play. The games can be good, some real good but for whatever reason you just never play them.

    Some examples for me.

    Far cry 5
    Ghost recon wildlands
    Assassin's creed Russian chronicles
    Warcraft 3
    Sanctum 2
    Battlefield 4

    Again good games but..... My twin brother is a bible person and does not like anything fantasy or sci fi. He's an idiot.

    Games I play most often?
    Starcraft 2
    Company of heroes
    Every Sniper elite game.
    Rainbow six Vegas 2
    Age of empires 3

    I use to play NBA basketball PC games growing up. Spent many of hours of many of days on it.

    Also use to play, and still do, the Original Red Alert, from the 80's.
    Then use to get into Red Alert 2, and Yuri's Revenge, in my late teens, and early 20's.

    I play BF1, BFV, and BF4.
    It is pretty hard at 75 to play against young players, but I like it anyway. Helps with something or other... But I often finish in the middle of the pack.

    Did some drunk shopping last night. I have soooo many games on my pile of shame. I so totally did not need this. But the deluxe editions of Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy were in a bundle at Xbox.com com and will be for a few days. They are play anywhere and therefore on my Xbox and PC. $32 for both.
