For as much as I use Steam, you'd think I even knew you could organize them. XD I just leave it alphabetically. I have a ton of games and it's easy enough to not have to think of what category each game is in.
Point & Click Adventures. I can play adventure games like Indigo Prophecy or something along those lines but click and point games drive me absolutely insane. I don't find them fun and it's often confusing. I've played a couple and had to look at a FAQ for how to beat certain parts only to think how the fuck was I supposed to think of that.
Enjoy Deus Ex Collection. It's the midweek madness and it's one of my favorite video game franchises of all time, more people should enjoy these masterpieces!!
Do you really need a new graphics card? If you feel your graphics card isn't quite up to par, I'd go with that. However, if you're buying it just because you have money, don't do it. Too many people buy things just because they have money and it's a terrible habit to have. Save it, put it towards a fund for a new computer if you want, but don't just blow it right away because you have it.
Way too many to list, don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll stick to my most played genre, multiplayer shooters, and say that developers don't try to keep you playing games by making them fun, they try to keep you playing games by going for unlocks and give you an unfair advantage over people who haven't played that long or just bought the game.
My favorite shooter is still Team Fortress Classic. There were no ranks, there were no unlockable weapons, there were no perks, there were no fucking hats. It was balanced and just a ton of fun every round, and it still is. I would play other modern shooters instead but all of them focus on shiny shit instead of substance.
I had it when I still gamed on my console. I thought it was really worth it. 1 game a month is about $15. A new game is $60. If you can finish a game at a pace of 1 every 4 months, you just about break even. I personally almost never replay games so the argument that you get to keep or resell the games didn't really apply to me. I very rarely sold games too since you didn't get much for them.
Although I did have money on the Steam wallet once when I got a $50 American Express good anywhere kind of gift card. I just bought $50 steam wallet money with it and used it. I found it to make me much more likely to buy games since the money is already on my account.
I've been lucky enough never to although I though I did a couple times. I used to play tackle football as a kid with no equipment, been playing hockey for the past 7 years or so now (granted that's in full equipment). Time's Ive been close was blocking a couple shots at hockey and once when I was working I slipped in a pothole while carrying a stove on a hand truck and the hand truck slammed my finger into the ground. There was a lot of blood at that one and it killed, surprised I didn't break my finger. But holy crap, as much as breaking a bone might hurt, wait until you have to go to the hospital and they have to stick a needle into your finger. Just hold your finger and realize how little flesh you have there, and the needle is thick for some reason too.
I wouldn't think it's a delay if they say awesome news. Pretty cool though, can't wait for the game to come out, never mind what the news is on Tuesday!
The problem is with a $700 PC is that you have to keep upgrading every year or suffer console graphics or even just not being able to find a game playable.
I bought a computer for $900 about 3.25 years ago. I bought a $200 GTX 560Ti when Battlefield 3 came out (what's that? a year and a half ago now?) Lots of times Far Cry 3 ran at 25fps at 1080p and lowest settings for anything else. Some games I just find completely unplayable due to poor framerate, such as Natural Selection 2. I put $1,100 into this machine over 2 years and here I am 3.25 years later and I already want to build a new machine.
My next build, which I think I will make at Black Friday at the end of this year, will probably be around $1,500, while planning to go with dual GPUs a year later when that particular model GPU drops in price due to new upgrades being available. I'm hoping it'll end up being $1,800~ by that point for the whole machine. Maybe quite a bit more than the $1,100 that I spent on my current machine but the whole thing will run much faster running new games on its release than this computer ever did running older games on their releases and it should certainly last a lot longer than 3 years before I seriously consider a new build...
