Replaying the Half-Life games. I'm skipping around a bit. Now playing Half Life 2.

As far as sidekicks go in games, Alyx Vance is a badass. I often let her use her ammo. She can actually kill the baddies.

Playing the free Half-Life mod Black Mesa Source.

Till I afford a PS4 this fall, I am stuck tablet gaming..  Other than Mahjong, I play Sim City Build.

I spent a lot to build my PC but games are so much cheaper on Steam, and those other sites we don't talk about here, than console games. There are several videos on YouTube that show how to build a gaming PC for ~$500.00. I just bought Shadow Warrior, a $39.99 game, for $3.99. It doesn't take long for the savings to catch up with the initial cost of building a PC.

I have hardware and software but I am desperately short of recreational time.

Less'n it's watching footie and drinking beer.

Playing the Doom Demo on PC.

Playing the Doom Demo on PC.

the original Doom gave me nightmares for ages.  I think it why I never play FPSes.

[brickbatz]

I may buy Doom. I can get it at G2A.com for $34.96 (activates on Steam) and save $25.00. Steam wants $59.99 for it.

I liked the Doom Demo so I bought it at the Steam Summer Sale for 40% off ($35.99 USD).

I feel a bit like Angry Joe.

I played the ol duke nukem for PC, but the PlayStation dooms drove me bat poo crazy trying to remember and find the secrets, it was final fantasy nine all over again and I only enjoyed it because people took the time to work me through the tough spots or the stupid secrets and card game on ff.

I can hardly believe I'm playing Skyrim.

When it was first released I got bored with Skyrim pretty quickly. Played it on the Xbox 360. Just bought it and all the DLC on PC for about $15.00 (USD). On August 28 Bethesda will give the new remastered version to anyone that has the game and all DLC, for free. It's a PC exclusive. Console players will have to shell out the full $60.00 (USD) if they want the remastered version.

I miss Skyrim on a daily basis.  I invested much of my life to that game.

Just started Resident Evil 4. I haven't played that in probably 10 years.

[Beatrix]

I really wanted that vs mode in resident evil five, other than that, the gameplay was monotonous.  I think they released a new one w a versus mode, for those of us that love Raccoon City before the glitch fiestas.

Why on earth didn't they remaster an older Elder Scrolls.  I couldn't really get into Oblivion and now after being spoilt by Skyrim, I doubt I ever will. Unless they remaster it, of course.
