Honestly, I would have. Having a game that's THAT bad you have to buy it is great publicity.

Installing Planescape - Torment. Had to relearn how to mount a virtual disk drive. I expect good things.

Apparently the Oculus Rift can feel pretty realistic and disorienting...

Makes me want to try one, though...sitting down.

Also, get exercise and play Skyrim at the same time!

If it got affordable, I'd actually be tempted to buy that. I know I'm weird but I'd enjoy it. And I generally dislike exercise machines, because I'd rather just do some activity in my backyard, ride my bike, hike, or something like that then using an exercise machine that takes up more space then its worth.

Energy Airforce, a (VERY) old combat flight sim for the PS2, has remappable controls! Not just preselected button configs, but completely remappable.

This new Humble Bundle is interesting, but seemingly is redundant. https://www.humblebundle.com/

Literally a Sid Meier bundle with Sid Meier's Pirates!. Like what. What.


Also, Civ V isn't worth $15. Hell it's not even worth $1. Hell if someone gave it to me for free I'd probably still ask for a refund.

If it came with Sid Meier's Pirates I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Perhaps they'll add more games later on like they did with other Bundles.

If I didn't have literally half of those, or if it included Alpha Centauri, I would buy it.

Yes, the original Fallouts were RPGs.

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are FTS/RPGs.

So, I tried some more games on my computer yesterday, because I was in the mood for using my steering wheel, and THIS time actually played without Firefox up at the same time.

Flatout 2 had this choppy laggy and then would run smooth...other then maybe derbies, it used to run perfectly fine. It is from 2006?

Midtown MADNESS 2, the game from like 2002, was lagging like crap and not running smooth at all. I barely ever remember lag existing in that game even BEFORE I upgraded my graphics card.

What the hell? Clearly it isn't just my Firefox that is causing my computer weird problems.
