Well I have to eat my words about OW now, because I found it for less than 36 bucks and 27 cents. Damn.
The issue with a framelimiter is that it can cause drops to be more noticeable and severe. Increasing pre-rendered frames may alleviate this somewhat at the cost of a little input lag.
Borderless Windowed ensures that incomplete frames are never drawn, which eliminates tearing with low input latency. However, since the framerate is not in sync with the monitor, borderless windowed can cause visible jittering and uneven motion.
VSync with a framelimiter will be perfectly smooth and it has similar input latency to borderless windowed from my experience. The perfect smoothness more than makes up for the occasional drop imo, but your experiences may vary.
Yeah, eLeague.

Haha, well, Winston is a gorilla, you are a gorilla man, I think I can see why you would like him
Ah I see. Thanks for the info. I find the tinkering and tradeoffs so fascinating, and one of my favorite things about PC gaming. Technology is pretty neat!

Blizzard's season 2 match event is a fucking joke, nearly delayed for an hour and they are finally allowing people to to go in.
That reminded me of this video that I saw earlier on Twitter lol:

E-sports are almost respectable now! Just needs to upgrade a few more steps to MasterCard and Coke ads.

Had to look twice at the bottom name! Thought our old friend had returned.
How do you guys keep your spending in check with PC games? I've been a console gamer most of my life, but these past 2 months with a PC, I've probably spent over 200 dollars on about 100 games or so. The deals are just too good! I need to save money now, but some of these prices are just too good to pass up.

At least for me the allure of sales kind of started to fade away and deals stopped looking as good. I generally buy bundles that have two or three games I'm interested in now, but besides that unless its something I really want to play I wait until it's 75% or more off. It turns out they usually get bundled first. Eventually you just kind of have all the old stuff if you're simply in to collecting stuff, so you stop spending money there too.
The beginning is always the hardest to have restraint, every deal seems unbeatable and you don't have a strong library built up. After a bit you'll get a better sense of "gotta have it now" versus "it will be in another bundle later" and you'll control yourself more. And you'll see why some of us agonize over $5 purchases, because it's not like any given purchase is that much, but when you have an option to make a purchase like that every day, you eventually have to be more selective or you'll go broke. But enjoy yourself, in a couple years you'll miss the days when you looked forward to all the sales with such excitement

hahaha, yeah I guess it's already starting to get that way. Deals go up and I already own quite a few of the things I'm interested in. Kind of feels good to have a nice PC library though, even though I already have a giant console backlog.
And look at that, 300 posts! I can finally be a member!
Edit: I'd like to give away a steam code in honor of my 300th post. How do I go about doing this?
Everything gets cheaper over time (except rare price mistakes and certain bundles). But if you'll play something, never feel bad about paying what you want for it. Just know that eventually it will be cheaper, and that you'll almost certainly buy plenty of things that get cheaper long before you ever get around to playing them.

Soon enough you won't have shit to buy. Took me like a year and half of spending like 25-50 bucks a month mostly in bundle crap, but these days most bundles are filled with stuff I already own, so I have slowed down considerably.

Man I remember when I first started seriously gaming on PC like 3 years ago, it was amazing and every deal was insane.
Now the trickle of games on sale slows down, because I am no longer playing catch up on the games I missed the first time around.
You think it's bad now, wait until your first Steam Sale.
I can't wait for the day I can finally stop searching for deals! I'm envious of you vets, cheap PC games is a strange addiction indeed lol. Glad to give away games to fellow Gaffers! I love that we can all enjoy games and share things we don't need! This community is the best.

So, I'm going to be doing an Army of Tentacles giveaway soon. Probably twenty or so. It depends on the answer to this query:
Should I bribe GAF members with naming Systems after them in No Man's Sky for reviews?
And no, none of them will be Black GOAT Editions. I already said that I'm not giving away the DLC expansion.

Happy Birthday SoulFlarz!
Happy 1st birthday Flarz-chan!
Wait, are you saying you're going to try to 100% Strider?
Edit: Think I read wrong, but congrats on your future 100%, I know you can do it!
No, I just won it from you lol. But that is next on my list. Unless it is really grindy. Then I will just try to beat it if so.
Not sure on the trophies for Strider. I think it's doable though. I played through it on Ps4, great fun!
Answered your own question.
Though since you have it available, you can get it sooner I guess. Not really a big deal.
Nope. And if you game on PC mostly, I think you can get the majority of games on launch for 48 or below through GMG and similar places.
Edit: I guess I'll put this here, cuz I've been drinking, and why not. I've been a lurker for a looooong time here, but this place is great. If you're reading this, you're great. We're all a very passionate bunch of people, and I'm glad to be a part of it.

Those that take from my giveaway will have a System named after them in No Man's Sky.
This should have been a raffle but whatever.
So yeah, the seven people that take from me my game shall get a System. The first thing I do in NMS will be to fly to different Systems and name them.
Obviously, you can leave a review of the game if you want.

Finished Tales From The Borderlands, best Telltale game. Awesome game.
Since I took a key from HP_Wuvcraft (thank you!), it's only fair that I give away a game as well. Hoping not everyone has this yet:
It's been a while since I gave away a game, so if something goes wrong, let me know.

Sure, you can give it to someone else if it does not violate pre-existing ModBot Rule.
