Maybe I'm missing something but the SteamVR perf test doesn't show a results thing for me.

edit: Nevermind, worked on the second time.

This is strange, we have the exact same setup:

Not that it actually matters, I'll probably still have to get a 970 first if I wanna preorder a Vive.

Weird. The test just detects the Intel HD 4000 GPU only and not my NVidia GPU. Also how to to try the test in normal view (not double like VR) without VR and using the mouse to look around.?

How does Witcher 3 play with keyboard and mouse?
Click to expand...
It's really well implemented, and the ability to use hotkeys for more than 2 items (4 with the hold modifier, which is super awkward to use) is super useful. The added precision does not really translate into the game much though, which is not too surprising since it's an (non-isometric) RPG and not, say, a FPS. The only place that is much easier with KB/M are the horse races. On that note, fuck horse races in Witcher 3.

Hacknet is probably my favourite 2015 game and would have been in my GOTY list had I played it in time.
And TIS... well. TIS.

Watched the trailer of TIS and well, it looks complicated.

Is your avatar from Game of Thrones? I think I have seen her before.

I'm actually contemplating reading the books now, as I haven't watched more than 3 episodes of the show's Season 1. So I could head out and pick up book one.
Click to expand...

dont bother. While the books are better, the series is looking more and more like it isn't going to wrap up any time soon. The TV show, while clearly being the lesser of the two, is actually going to finish one day and has the real endgame in mind already as GRRM gave the writers and showrunners that info.

Now book readers are scared the TV show is going to spoil the books, which is telling of where things stand as of right now.

Plus, the show will prep you for everyone's favorite Telltale season of games, too, so it's even steam related!

I didn't expect the graphic card to make it, but I was surprised to see that the cpu made it since Oculus turned it down.

Not that I have money for either.

Of course not. CSGO will be played as normal.

Witcher 3 is actually a lot like GOT in terms of writing. Like they have random nudity and sex scenes just for lulz. (Not that there is anything wrong with that)

But why should I not bother? I don't particularly care if the show or book leads the plot on, I just want a world to immerse myself into in book form at the moment. It's probably a universe I can spend my time in for the next few years. :)

Actually from the leaked material and casting news, the new season would still mostly be within book 5, and the show runners are trash.

Guess what's also trash? The Telltale game.

Glad it's finally starting to turn around for you. I hope you can now appreciate why people insist that you need to pay attention to the game while playing it. Like I said before, it doesn't have one single revelatory moment that changes everything. Instead, you'll have a lot of these cool little moments that will help you develop a deep appreciation for how intricately and deliberately this island has been designed. One just has to pay attention.

There are still things left for you to discover, btw.

Also add me on Steam if you want to talk about stuff. I know you're a league player but I won't hold it against you :p
Click to expand...

i still have a lot of reservations with how some stuff works and i kind of hate all the audiolog+video content i've seen so far but yeah, i'm starting to appreciate how you slowly grow capable of instinctively noticing the patterns the game wants you to notice

but you know, i felt the same way about squarecells and it took it a whole lot less time and i didn't get motion sickness from that so...

well, because there's a possibility that book readers will not have closure at the rate that GRRM is producing them.

The show is fine, it has moments where they miss the mark but it's not garbage, at least not yet. I'll admit that last season was the weakest of the seasons yet, though you have to wonder how much of that has to do with them treading water while they wait for GRRM to stop Full Metal Alchemist-ing them.

Also, how bad is the TT game really? I haven't played it yet but i do have it sitting in my backlog.

I haven't played it either but I doubt it's that bad. Ignoring the usual TT choice doesn't actually matter, I think the big complaint was that it was kind of boring since it feels like a filler type arc.

well i also remember people not being happy at all with the ending. I figure it helps to know that the ending isn't going to be good so i can manage my expectations properly

Can someone post a video of Valve's announcement from E3 2007?

What announcements? They showed Orange Box stuff for the press, but that's all. If you mean stage stuff, they were at EA's Summer Media Event a year prior, but we only have trailers from that.

I've said this a while ago, the game is like season 5, they kept missing the essence of ASOIAF, only obsessed in creating shocking moments. TT game is mind-numbing torture porn, even the new Tomb Raider games are better than that.
