    Playing Singularity now. I think I started it a half dozen times but never got far. Now finally playing. Pretty good!

    But it should be the same, minus sponge bosses, cover system (for now), and grind.

    Reinstalled Origins myself recently, and think I should grab World Of Battank later...

    I'm taking the next couple days off to play Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but have been filling in the intervening time re-playing the original F.E.A.R. I won't finish, but it's been a nice little distraction.

    FEAR is ****ing amazing. It's expansions are also very good. Unbeliveable the game is from 2005, it's gameplay, graphics and physics are very good for it's time.

    MSG 5. Horse riding drives me crazy, animation is choppy, unresponsive control, shaky, and silly camera angle every time I hop on the horse. The truck seems to run slower than a horse so I put it on hold for now.

    Shadow of Mordor, continue where I left off. Repetitive but the combat is so enjoyable that I feel like playing. Beat a chieftain and a bunch of his captains at the same time, feels good man (used to get my ass kicked by just one of those combat master captains). And Mad Max is on sale, too :confused:.

    Been meaning to finish Doom, and then get into Dark Souls III ... that should keep me busy for a long, long time given how bad I am at those games.

    Finished main story of Origins and started playing Cold Cold Heart DLC. The game is actually not that bad, at least not as bad as some people said it was.
    But obviously Arkham City is better, which I reinstalled yesterday as well. And maybe it's just me, but combat flow is better in AC than in AO. Shock gloves are cool tho...

    Metal Solid Gear 5? Is that the new one? :p :D

    GTA V runs very well on a crappy laptop. Believe me, I had it running on a 240m. TW3 tho... Yeah, you're **** out of luck until you get a better rig.

    I keep forgetting I have this, probably because it's in my UPplay account, which I haven't used since failing to finish that ode to mediocrity known as Watch Dogs.

    But...but...but...his niece was killed!
    *whatever the main bloke's name was goes out to kill another hundred of innocent people while screaming about his niece having been killed*

    Speaking of Uplay, kinda tempted to grab Valiant Hearts. It sometimes surprises how such companies like Ubisoft still manage to put out such brilliant games.

    Alo started playing The Division. First couple of hours solo and later on joined by a friend. Got the game for free with my G810 RGB keyboard, so I wasn't expecting much of it reading the reviews etc., but the game managed to suprise me. So far me and my friend are having lots of fun, altho we know the endgame is considered the big weak point of this game. Also, the game looks absolutley gorgeous on max settings and on a 144hz monitor.

    Just got done playing GTA V. That game threw my "its stable in everything else" 4.6GHz overclock into meltdown mode, had to dial it back to 4.4GHz to stop getting the x101 bug check. Boo.

    Cool game though. I'll definitely play that one more.

    I definitely recommend installing some mods, makes the game even better. Also, what voltage you running at?

    Like what mods?

    1.23v on my 4790K. I've never seen a 101 before but I looked it up and it's caused by low voltage just like 127. It could very well be processor degradation.

    I am up for playing online if you havent tried that.

    101 is vcore. And I doubt degradation happened on 1.23v. Gta like CPU, a lot.

    I'm so horrendously bad at the game right now lol. A friend of mine who plays nonstop had me play with him last night and I got schooled haha. My name is xX-Saeren-Xx if you want to friend me though. Until I get a monitor though I'm relegated to my PS4 controller for gameplay.

    The chip has been pushed higher than that... I tried to get 4.8 stable and failed with 1.45v before I gave up.

    I am high enough level that I can carry you through so dont wprry about that. Half the game is sitting kurumas anyways.

    And yeah, 1.45v is on the high side for sure. I may be worries.

    Well I was only trying to get it stable, I never left the voltage there. And the processor has never been pushed past 90C either. Normally it's always under 80C.

    Anyway feel free to add me if you want to play, I'll be out most of this weekend though.

    build a GTX1080 desktop, then realise there isn't that much pc games out there that I am particularly interested to play outside the usual starcraft 2 and overwatch.
    Gonna pick up witcher 3, titan fall 2, mirrors edge and no man's sky, hopefully that would justify my expensive pc build lol

    I am trying my best not to fall into the heavy overclock desktop builds but damn I keep changing up my parts.

    My list originally had humble i5-6600, stock CPU cooler, cheap mini itx motherboard and the usual DDR4 rams and 500GB cheaper klevv SSDs with a EVGA 1080 FTW.
    When I went to the store, it become a 6600K, corsair liquid cooler, expensive asus Maximus VIII Gene motherboard, faster DDR4 and 500GB samsung 850 pro with a MSI Sea Hawk 1080,

    What a money pit lol

    Far Cry Primal downloading right now. Can't get the feeling off me that this is merely a bigger mode for FC4.

    the resolution scale indicators are broken. i had to call a few engine commands to see what the internal resolution was and for 1080p and 42% was just under 1080p. 100% would equate to 4k.

    Assetto Corsa (DP1, DP2, DP3 and Japanese Pack) and DiRT Rally... with a keyboard :D :D :D Sold my hand-made G27 rig a while ago, when moving, so it's time to built a new one with G29 and some future-proofing in mind (like multi-display support)... when I have the money that is :)

    Haha lol.. I actually have had little issues playing it although it was murdering my 4790K.. Never seen the 4790K stressed to that much, uses almost 80W of power, BF4 averages 65W and that's murderous enough tbh..

    Started playing this:

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/499520/

    It's definitely a good game to play for $20. Almost like Portal meets Interstellar but without the physics of black holes babble.

    Looks and plays great. getting a stable 60fps on ultra.

    Have this one on my wishlist as well. Probably gonna grab it before DE MD.

    Speaking of DE, decided to finish my playthrough of HR DC. And after all these hours I still can't quite figure out how Social Enhancer works. Also, I need to remap Typhoon augmentation to something else. Sometimes, when going for Invisibility of Smart Scan (or what it's called) I accidentally push F2... Well, I guess that's one way of being stealthy, by killing everyone nearby. Huehuehue...
