these were all great!

the pizza as a sandwich especially. short sweet and funny

@walkertr77: oooooooo I'm sorry I thought it was an existing pc. If you have a Windows 7 liscence I would install that then update right away to keep it free. If you don't I guess buy it and make the USB. Unless you can install with the USB and use the 7 liscence to activate?

@walkertr77: actually the update tool is great. i used it on two computers and was up and running on 10 in no time. I didnt even bother with the usb, i just went to the create media creation tool page thing, and it started to update on my desktop no problem. restarted a few times, and BAM all good to go. Its great too, if you have a laptop and desktop or multiple computers they all sync together for the most part. Pretty seamless, and dont waste money on a new liscence

Yea, he's great in the beastcast and can be funny as hell.

I like that on the gamespot youtube page they have some videos with him in it covering some stuff from CNET. SLOWLY BUT SHURELY

if i was going in cold, i would definitely suggest looking at everything you want to be doing with it first. Considering its not just a gaming platform, but a computer in general, whats the plan? If your going to be recording, or do you do any type of work on it.

But you can't really go wrong focusing on the parts that imo, matter the most. an i5 is always a great choice, especially with the 4 cores as opposed to a dual core with hyper-threading. There is the new chip set out right now that uses DDR4, so you might be able to get a i5 unlocked (K) processor to take advantage of any overclocking. (most motherboard manufacturer's have built in OC utilities, its brainless to do it), and a decent gigabyte/asus/msi board that supports ddr3 ram, which also would be a bit cheaper. Look at some cards like a 970 or 960 depending on what your doing, with the geforce experience being great to make your games run well if you don't want to tinker too much with them, and an appropriate power supply. mouse, keyboard, and peripherals is mostly personal preference, and as far as a monitor, you can end up spending 2000 bucks on one if you really wanted to. There's so much to look at. But you can probably get a half decent 1080p 24"-27" for a reasonable price. Again, worry about the main stuff, and all the other garbage can change daily it doesn't matter much.

for a half decent one, your looking at 1000USD at least

So, after all the buzz, just about everywhere, i am interested in playing The Witcher 3. My only concern is i like to play previous games to have some sort of the story in the back of my mind to enjoy these ones more. In my steam library i have both the first and second games, and i tried the first one. After about 2 hours i just couldn't do it. it seemed so clunky and odd, and something just wasnt right with me, but the third from what i understand, is more similar to the second. So before i go and spend my money on 3, i would like to possibly play 2 since i have it.

Is it bad if i skip one and go to the witcher 2, or even just to go to three?

and if i do skip 1, does 2 have a decent enough story, or something to make me feel like i can understand what i missed from the first so i can come into 3 a bit more interested???

for all that suggested drop the covenant, thank you so much. I joined and had no idea what it did. I wasted 7 hours and have not even finished forest of the giants, and all iw as doing was dying. I dropped the covenant and it felt "normal" in the sense the difficulty was scaled, damage recieved and done was what i was expecting, and wasnt taking half health hits from low monsters. I left the covenant, and literally went through all the mobs like it was a cake walk. So i guess i can now finally see if the game is better or worse then 1 hahahaha. THEN MAYBE BLOODBORNE??

thanks everyone!!!

@aldrenar47: dude, if this is true your my hero. I did join that thing right away? And now I'm looking it up and it spikes the difficulty a bit. No wonder the shitty skeleton guys have so much health and hit me so hard. Like its forest of the Giants and first stage and I couldn't believe why everything is simply destroying me. 6 hours in and I'm still at the start. Fuck. As soon as I get home I'm dropping the covenant lol. Since I'm on the topic, how do those work anyways? Is there one I should join or anything?

@maedhros925: is it possible to get to this tower before the boss?

@aldrenar47: based on my ADP being only 5, and my specs off the top of my head is about 15 str, 13 dex, 12 vit and 10 endurance, maybe it might be worth it to start over with something with a higher initial adp? or is the forest of the giants even a good area to farm for souls. I find that i am only getting about 90 souls per kill, and need 2000 per upgrade and beyond right now. I think my character is 27? but i only sunk in maybe 7 levels. I chose the Soldier i think it was, high strength fighter, and found that it was already high level out of the gate.
