Using the time I ended up playing them as my choice criteria, the first of my two picks is a game nobody else mentioned. And I'll also note here that mods are what primarily kept me coming back to these two games for so long: 1) Kerbal Space Pro…

I'm nowhere near the industry watcher that some of you guys are, but the last I remember of Raph Koster he had left the mmorpg business to focus on making "social apps" for smartphones. And that was directly after being let go by Sony/SWG, so it was…

You guys are all thinking about doing something else with your cool new 12, 16, 32, and 64 core cpu's other than gaming, right? Because while I'm not a true techie like many of you are, I have been building my own gaming desktops for over twenty yea…

I was really saddened to read this, although originally, I couldn't come up with anything to say. But it's January 23rd now, and you mentioned that you were going in for treatment yourself on the 3rd. So how did that go? Are you feeling okay, physic…

I played the beta for 'City of Heroes', but never installed the release version. Even though it would have been free for me. I do know that many people loved that game, and I believe the reason why is that it was very much a predecessor to MOBAs. No…

If you are looking for (generally) thoughtful conversation from a group of people whose intelligence is probably a level above that of the average forum dweller, I'd suggest /r/politics. Although realize - the discussion here most often slants liber…

The first three movies I had a few problems with (Ewoks, for instance), but overall I still revere them all. The next three everyone seemed to be in an uproar over, but I was entertained. However 'The Force Awakens' was the end for me. I found that …

Some of these indie games made with the Unity Engine really are getting good. But one gripe - they all are so lonely. You rarely see NPCs, and when you do all they seem to be able to do is spit out a line or two of generic text. But anyway... 'Subn…

Single player games? Sure, it's kind of amusing loading up the old adult mods. But MMO's? Nevarrr, no way. Cybering with other men would be just downright creepy in my book. So my MMORPG rule #11 has become - "Don't do it. That female character you …

I too didn't play The Sims for probably 10 years, thinking this was just not the game for me. But after reading that you could, err, "unlock" the game I decided to give it a try (I played the Sims 3). And it was actually a lot of fun. I especially e…

Cities Skylines has a number of mods that are worthwhile. Although many will tend to raise the complexity of the sim (youtube is always a great place to look for turorials).

I wonder if the people who replied "Star Wars Galaxies" were talking about playing on the EMU(s). I'd guess so - which is good, a lot of devs have worked hard on that.

I've always loved playing games of all sorts. And while one of the the best things about gaming has been sharing the experience with other people, as you get older the times when friends drop by and you can play poker or an Avalon Hill board game, e…

I admit I was a little irked by the "old" thing, too. But I think my main issue here is with the age bracket used. I'd say the beginning age of the truly computer/electronic gaming challenged generation begins at around 65-70. But certainly not 55. …

Add another "old" 59 year old who thinks this PhD has got her age brackets wrong. I was brought up as a kid on Pong etc., was doing a lot more than just gaming on my C64, and I was building my own rigs by the time the 80386 came around in 1985.

The biggest decision of your life? I hope this is a pun on the game's name, or such.

For a complete newcomer to building PCs, I'd suggest looking at some of the 'PC' 'Build' articles out there (google those two words). You'll find directions on actual PC assembly, but also some suggested sample builds in different price ranges. I'd …
