The rain here has been awful recently, think we have another week of expected storms.

 

I re-downloaded Steam on my new computer since I've literally never been able to properly play a computer games. What are some essential, must have games? Remember, I've literally never played a game on the computer before so everything is new

 

Would have been contract work where they can let you go for no reason. Probably would have had to go to AFG again. I'll pass.

 

I'm checking out Superhot because I heard great things about it

 

Are there any type of games you're looking for in particular?

 

'Outlast' is on Steam - IDK if that would be widely considered "essential", but it's incredible if you like Horror games.

 

Not specifically. Not typically into RPGs but other than that I'd be down for anything. I know like, Portal is huge and stuff like that. I actually have Garry's Mod but don't really know what to do with it

 

I don't play it on PC but Rocket League is dope

 

Garry's Mod really has no purpose. But yes Portal and Portal 2 are amazing.

 

Here's Metacritic's list of top 25 PC games of this year and all time.

As for what I'd consider essential.

Half-Life Series
Deus Ex
Warcraft II and III
Starcraft I and II
Diablo I and II
Quake
Doom
Wolfenstein
Unreal Tournament Series (the latest is in Alpha and free)
Homeworld
Civ II and IV
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
Command and Conquer: Generals
Baldur's Gate

Non-essential but great games that have come out recently

Superhot
Undertale
Pony Island
Darkest Dungeon
The Witness

Sure I'm missing a lot, but the Half Life series is a must

 

45k a year already isn't too bad

Awesome for her though!

 

Half Life 2 is so good. I've beat it like a dozen times and just thinking about it now makes me want to beat it again.

 

Yeah I make around 40 and thought it was pretty good lol

 

@OhTheWater ask in the video game thread, tetra basically did the same thing last year and it was fun

 

HL3 is never coming man. You just gotta accept it.

 

Just did!

 

Also The Witness is probably my favorite game so far this year.

 

I still need to finish that secret level in The Witness.

 

I wanna messaround with like a dumb, mindless gore filled game. Is Paint That Town Red good?

 

Walmart is the 7th circle of hell. Some lady in one of those motorized scooters acted like she was going to fight me. I asked her to please scoot over so I could grab something she was blocking. She was like subtweeting me as if I couldn't hear her. Her husband came and found me later and apologized for her. I appreciated that. Southerners can cut deep without even uttering a cuss word.

 

Costco and AmEx had a huge falling out last year, so my Costco AmEx dies later this month and I've just received a new Citi Visa for my Costco membership. That's fine, whatever. But in the process of switching all my account information over, Citi managed to attach the wrong SSN to my card. That bodes well, considering I ended up in a stolen identity debt collection nightmare when a bank in DC typed in the wrong SSN for one of their clients and it happened to be mine.

Good thing I plan on canceling the card immediately, I guess.

 

I like that you're now relating real world interaction to Twitter

 

When I was typing that out I was like..what have I become!?

 

Why are so many ppl home in the morning on a weekday?? I hate when ppl are outside cause I like being an ugly sweat monster by myself when I walk but everyone was out and about today! What happened to 9-5s ppl
