Other PC Games Thread.
So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Yeah, I tried one of those but keeping my hand/arm stationary all day actually seems to do more harm than good.

Those gloves are gold. I used them a couple years back when my wrists began to act up. I also bought a trackball and a magic trackpad and cycle between them and the mouse. Haven't had too many problems since then, but then I'm a programmer, so I don't use the mouse too much anyway. 
Over The Years 
I have had various problems with the use of the mouse but luckily it never reached the point of no return. As much as sitting up straight and different mouse types help, I found switching around my routine helped the most. I would make it a habit to stretch, use different apps, get up from my desk and walking around, making coffee, etc. 
42, 43... 
...ugh, kids! Eh, Shambler? 
Vertical Mouse Ftw 
 
 
Tried the vertical mice. They work for awhile but I think my problems are addressed differently. They don't work all that well for me. 
 
im the other way around. i get cramps with controllers as opposed to keyboard/mouse. specially the xbox one that's asymmetrical compared to the ps3 one. i only have a ps3 at home, but whenever i go to my brother's place and play with it, i get cramps like after 30min or something. 
 
Cramps. Oh WOE IS YOU. :) 
 
yes :'( 
 
Fallout for zero money at http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout for 2 days 
Fallout 
I bought the classic series pack when it was on Steam sale not long ago. Haven't played it back in the day - what a miss! I'm totally enjoying the games. Already played through FO1, and I'm close to beating FO2 (on normal) now. Nice games, I like the theme, the humor and all the little extras the player can discover.
Also good to finally learn some background information on things they picked up in FO3 and NV. Quite faithful to the originals in many areas apparently. 
 
awesome, thanks for posting that. :) 
OMGZOR DAIKATANA2 = MMOFPS 
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-05-john-romero-details-plans-for-mmo-ish-pc-shooter

Or something. I wish him the best of luck. I like his views on FPS gaming style and I hope with the lessons learned from DKT he could make it a great game. GL HF. 
Oh Oh Oh... 
If it re-uses a Daikatana base, it could turn into something cool. Daikatana concept was really interesting, just a shame it turned to shit too early..
As shambler said + I want to see another Romero FPS ! 
PoP:The Forgotten Sands 
Still fun, but boy has this series been dumbed down. The first few at least left it upto you to figure out some of the puzzles, not so here, the clue is always staring you right in the face.

Some nice visuals and setpieces though. 
Shambler: 
maybe it will do as well as his last company that was making an MMO of his design...

F2P CoD 
Blacklight: Retribution

Definitely Not Cod 
Unless by cod you mean a fps. 
 
Give it a shot, it is surprisingly good.

Fast like I like it, not one of those plodding crawl'n'headshot from 3 miles pansy-fests.

Proper full paid for game quality. Similar to Neotokyo for HL2 if you tried that, but faster.
Tons of luvely GITS influence, always a plus.

Yeah you have to gain points and levels by playing to unlock new gear (you can easily unlock items for 1 day) or use money to unlock stuff early BUT the basic weapon and gear you are given is very adequate, have no probs reaching top 3 in Kills, Caps for CTF/KOTH/DOM, Assists etc even when server is full of guys having poured in over 60 hours already. 
Blacklight Retribution 
Ooops that was me. 
 
Only played one game, so far movement feels a bit awkward. There's like a slight delay if you want to change direction or something like that - peculiar. And I don't think the models loaded all the way, the game seemed a tad blurry in spots. Was pretty good though, if a bit laggy. 
Hmmm 
I had none of those probs, for the Lag did you try another master server ?

A funy thing though, not sure if its coming from my PC or the game but some resolutions give slightly less responsive controls (even though it would be a lower res) Try a couple diff 16: 16:10 resoltuions see if it helps.

I can't stand games with laggy mouse/keyboard response, would of noticed, so its def coming from your side. 
New "Syndicate" 
Good Article. 
Particularly the lost irony of corporation control. 
 
Reviewed Assassin's Creed. Gave it a 6/10. Great visuals but the combat and gameplay is complete shit. I don't know how this is so popular.

Are the sequels any good?
