The PC gaming Thread. Steam/GOG/Origin/Etc. Game/Software/Hardware talk

When it asked me my gfx card, I wrote nvidia voodoo2 (wasnt exactly lying) dont think I will be sucessfull :rofl:

Gotta love these 3-day weekends. Found the time to knock 3 out of my Summer Sale purchases (Electronic Super Joy & its sequel, & Double Dragon Neon) plus Guacamelee from a bundle deal (Lara Croft skin is dope because the creator went the extra mile & created custom animations where she uses her pickaxe/pistol/bow & arrow instead of punches).

Playing Lost Planet 3 (yeah I bought it during the sale; big whoop, wanna fight about it?), because it’s the perfect brain-dead game to play on a hot summer day surrounded by empties; not a lot of reading & critical thinking required, and not too demanding of one’s dexterity & reflexes…pretty much the definition of the modern day me-too corridor shooter. At least Jim is a likable chap, much more relatable than Wayne ā€œtypical deadpan Asianā€ Holden.

Did anyone actually get into that Evolve Alpha? I didn’t.

Just for reference I have

Left 4 dead 2
Borderlands 2
Castle Crashers
Awesomenauts
BattleBlock Theatre
Risk of Rain
Torchlight 2

Trying to get my co-op on and finish some of these bad boys add me on Steam SooperCam for tag team action

Will sell kidney for Heroes of the Storm beta.

I keep hearing its not very good

Wolf Among Us Ep.5 tomorrow. Awww yiss!

The last game I got on steam sale is battleblock theatre, doesn’t seem to be as good as alien hominid/castle crashers

Free $20 Gift Card When You Buy an Xbox One Controller from Best Buy

If I didn’t still have a working 360 controller, I’d bite. Unlike the Dual Shock 4 it works natively with Windows, and the d-pad is supposedly better than the 360’s. I was raging at times when platforming in Guacamelee; input the direction for one special move but instead get another.

I signed up for the beta about an hour after kowtowrobinson posted it in here…didn’t get an invite =/

I’ve got fuck all to do tonight, and I have all of the above except Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theatre.

only famous family members who emailed them got the invites :rofl:

No invite for me :(.

I was on my tablet about to apply but they asked that you apply from the PC you were planning on playing with :sad:

Its a lot of fun, shits on other mobas IMO. Really it feels like a different genre almost. 20 min games are godlike, and no downtime at all

So there’s a relatively load buzzing sound coming from computer. It gets really loud at random times, even when I’m running MS Word. When the buzzing goes harder, my computer crashes.

For the record, it’s not coil whine. The sound my computer makes is more rougher and grater-ish.

I traced the sound down to either my MOBO or CPU. Some say it might be my video card, but I highly doubt that’s the case since I tested it out in my friend’s computer just to double check. What do you guys think? Need some input before I make a move.

Any idea if it’s your hard drive?
ā€œgrater-ishā€ is fishy-sounding, in that regard.

Ner,

The HDD is p much quiet. Got some spares doe.

Need to open up m computer tomorrow and trace it down exaggerated.

You’re going to have to open up your case and try every thing that spins one by one until you find out what makes that noise. Unless you just get lucky and can use a stethoscope (a straw stuck in your ear) and can track it down that way. Mobo shouldn’t have a fan on it, so if it’s not a video card, it would have to be either the CPU fan, PSU fan or some case fan. Most likely, it’s the CPU fan since it’s causing a crash.

G’luck
