(PCGT V) PC gaming is dead, press F to pay respects

[Super Dragon 64]

There have been some interesting upcoming games found in the steam DB.

71869 FINAL FANTASY VI

That's two.

VI means six mate, did you not learn roman numerals?

Roman numerals? They never even tried to teach us that at school!

[<]:^D]

Finally the good one.

I'd rank it about 3rd best out of all the ff's I've played

The battles are actually fun in X-2

are you guys mad? X and onwards are when FF went from lovable corny-weeabo to unbearable shite.

[Xeno]

X-2 is strawberry floating appalling. Ooo a boss battle is coming up, I had best change my outfit.

By the way, does anyone know if you can use a Steam Link as a router? It would be nice if I could use it to hook up my 360 to the internet, or to give my gaming PC (which has no wifi adapter) internet for when I need it, instead of hauling it across the house. I tried hooking it up, initially it reported limited connectivity, but then I made the mistake of disconnecting and now it won't connect at all.

Almost certainly not.

Oh well, I actually recently remembered I had a wi-fi repeater lying around, and that actually does work as a router, so it all worked out in the end.

It is, apparently, the gooseberry fool mobile version.

If you want to play VI, I recommend emulating SNES FFIII. It's been released on a few other platforms, like the PS1 but they crowbarred pointless FMV sequences into it, and adds CD loading times, as well as monkeyed with the translation.

So, mechanical keyboards.


The Corsair K70 is still the one to go for right? Or the K95 if I just want a bunch of extra buttons I won't use.

[jiggles]

Surely the switch type is more important than the actual model of keyboard?

I have a CM Storm Trigger with Cherry Red switches. I thought I wanted blues at first, but being able to use this thing without making a racket is great. There's no tactile actuation point in them, though, so for the first few weeks I was hammering all the keys down and getting some finger fatigue, but I eventually worked out exactly how hard I need to press them for the keys to register (just a feather touch) and it's much quicker than I would be able to type with a tactile click I have to push through.

The model itself is cool in that it has a few USB ports to act as a hub/charging station, but the backlight features are a little disappointing. No customisable colours (red only), and it only has 3 modes that you can't customise (solid, pulse, WASD + arrow keys). I'd have liked to be able to set up profiles that changes the lit up keys depending on the game's controls, but I don't think it's possible.

I'm thinking reds.

[jiggles]

I'm thinking reds.

I edited some info in to my post.

The other thing about this is that it's heavy-duty as strawberry float. You could literally kill someone with it.

[False]

My K60 has reds and its alright

[Xeno]

I love the K70, it's solidly built, and I have to agree the reds are a good key type to go for.

[Tragic Magic]

Wow. So I'm finally playing Spacechem and it's strawberry floating epic. It's my new "listen to music while playing" game.

What's a good gaming mouse these days? My brother is after one for up to around £50.
One thing to point out, he's very "Form over function", so he'll generally prefer ones that "look cool" even if the performance is slightly worse than a better performing alternative for the same money.

[Trelliz]

How old is your brother? You can get a decent but plain logitech mouse that's better than some flashy piece of garbage.

[Lagamorph]

He's 27
But this is the guy who prefers Alienware because they "look really cool" rather than having something custom that has better performance at a lower price.

[Zartan]

Well I think the Steel Series Rival Fade is the coolest looking mouse at the moment Problem is it is a limited edition so it keeps going in and out of stock...



I suppose he has to like CS:GO too

[Lagamorph]

This is the sort of thing he showed me when he came round earlier,
