I'm Canadian and have never seen bagged milk in my life. I would be apprehensive about drinking milk from a bag. It was bad enough when the jugs came out, I want my milk from a carton dammit.

As for the U's. Yes it's correct. Keep them in and honour our British heritage or drop them and be a pleb. :D

I can see it. Doing something you love for a living certainly does turn that passion and hobby into a job. It happens to the best of us. Just gotta fight through that shit, or do something else to make the love come back again.

I don't understand the obsession with gaming personalities to begin with. They just seem like regular dudes to me, nothing special. Just guys that run a cool site and do a job so many of us think would be heaven until we actually do that job. Internet famous and famous for being an absolutely mind-blowing talent are two totally different realms of awesomeness imo.

I've never heard of this franchise. Why?

Hopefully he...wait for it...RESPAWNS back at Infinity Ward and makes CoD 16 Blackest Warfare of Modern Ops part Deux.

Thanks a lot for all of the excellent choices so far guys!

I recently purchased The Secret World when it axed it's subscription model because I was interested in the story and atmosphere, but the clunky repetitive gameplay and combat put me off.

I have played Dark Souls, Hotline Miami, KOTOR 1 & 2 & Amnesia and am a big fan of all of those games.

I keep seeing Planescape Torment listed and and recommended all over the web for an awesome RPG type story. I think the Forgotten Realms Games and Planescape Torment are ones that I'm going to try, they sound like they would be right up my alley.

Thanks again for your suggestions everyone!

Hello fellow Giant Bombers,

Recently I built a gaming pc and have been looking for some "must haves" for the PC. These games don't have to be brand new, or current gen. I'm mainly looking for some unique types of gaming experiences.

I've played Skyrim, CoD, Uncharted, Gears of War, Halo, Starcraft II, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, WoW and all types of different mainstream games and am finding my attention span has become severely lacking as of late. I cannot handle repetitive grindfest type games anymore, so pretty much all MMO's are out. Any games where I'm running around fulfilling quests for XP and performing menial tasks, without much context and story I don't care for any longer.

Basically to sum it up, I'm looking for unique gaming experiences that are story driven, have quality characters and writing and will keep me wanting to push forward. Recently I played The Witcher 2 and thought it was a fantastic game with a really interesting universe and it hooked me.

Thank you for any recommendations you can give!

I just popped a HIS Radeon 7970 into my rig and it runs everything really well on ultra settings. The only issue I've come across so far is a strange grid looking rendering while inside caves in Guild Wars 2, I guess it's a pretty common driver issue. It was a quick and painless install and runs fairly quiet and not too hot for the horsepower it has. I'm happy with it. I have almost the exact same rig as the one you mentioned above. Gigabyte MB, 8GB Ram, i-5 CPU, 600W PSU.

It all started last month when I decided for shits and giggles that I would make a spreadsheet totaling up and taking inventory of my console gaming addiction. Suffice to say the numbers at the end of the auto sum function were a lot higher than I had expected. After the initial shock and amazement wore off I started thinking about consoles, pc's and the games I had played on all systems over the last decade or so.

The ones that have seemed to resonate with me and leave the biggest impression are EQ, WoW, and Call of Duty 4. All the rest have been various points of excitement and momentary obsession but at the end of the day, most are games I look back on as a lot of cash wasted for fleeting periods of distraction.

I work on a computer for a living and for the most part resisted using one for entertainment as I wanted to get as far away as possible from work when I'm relaxing on my own time. However lately, I realized I was spending far too much time and money on consoles, video games and accessories for them, and getting quickly bored and distracted with the games available. As my work laptop was getting old and not running as efficiently as I liked, I decided to take the plunge and build a custom gaming rig that would allow me to do work and run those games I usually play on consoles. I've always been a "console is better because I can sit on the couch and use a controller on the tv" guy but once I hooked my laptop up to the tv with HDMI and fired up Steam Big Picture that advantage quickly disappeared.

Steam has made the transition from console to pc gamer a very easy one for me. All of their sales, huge mod community and social features have made the choice to switch to PC gaming a no brainer for me. Now I have a custom gaming rig that can run all of my work, hobby and entertainment programs and files in one place. I can hook a gamepad up to it for games better suited to a gamepad and I can enjoy full res HD games without compromise for the next while from the comfort of my desk chair.

With the new gen of consoles coming out I'm sure I will be tempted to dip back into the console market, but I must just resist and continue on enjoying PC gaming bliss and turn a blind eye to all the tempting things that may or may not come next gen, as I certainly do not have the budget to dabble in both as I learned this generation. Running a PS3, 360 & Wii was simply too expensive at the end of the day for what entertainment it provided imo.

360 for Gears of War. PS3 for Demons's Souls and their endless list of superior exclusives.
