    I couldn't find it so I'm resurrecting it. I just broke down and ordered a 1050ti for my shell of a gaming rig. What games should I be playing if i haven't played anything probably since last year?

    Dirt Rally & Cuphead

    Dirt Rally is great. You can be the guy from this video.



    Also worth mentioning (for Tom specifically) there's a bar (Brixies) a block away from galloping ghost that apparently has 5 pinball machines in great condition. So next time we're definitely hitting that up. One of them is apparently a Game of thrones one which should be pretty interesting.

    New Life is Strange 2 trailer

    I like this different direction. It’s not that different, but it’s enough that I’m really excited for the game.

    I've never been a big fan of dirt. I wish they'd make a new motor storm. I also don't think i'll ever buy another console though. I just don't game enough and the $120 gpu i put in my pc is about as much as I can justify. At least if I stop gaming again i'll have a good htpc card

    If not DiRT then how about Forza Horizon 3? It's easily the best racing game until 4 comes out in about a month. The only caveat is you have to buy it on the MS Store.

    CD Projekt Red finally showing off gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077. Incredible, it's what the original Deus Ex should've morphed into. Can't wait.

    Warning: Some footage is NSFW.

    I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
    It's that mix of Deus Ex, but also the Judge Dredd movie (the good one), and instead of dark and gritty it has that "neon gritty" Blade Runner aesthetic.
    I want it now.

    Xbox 360 wired (saying this as a proud owner of a Xbox One and Xbox One X). The 360 controller is still incredibly durable and it's only flaw is the d-pad.

    Yeah, the Xbox 360 controller is great. I recently got a Steam controller and the touchpad is no replacement for the right stick, utility or position. Dualshock's are good, solid controllers but the 360, especially the wired, are cheap and dependable.

    Sony finally made a good controller with the dual shock 4 but the triggers are still flimsy and the battery life is abysmal.

    Late to the party, but this looks amazing.

    I downloaded Red Dead Redemption 2 on black Friday and managed to play about 25 minutes so far. It is absolutely beautiful. A true work of art. I can't wait to find a solid couple hours to play.

    Red Dead 2 is definitely pretty, nobody does open world like Rockstar and they've upped the bar yet again. It's not my cup of tea for a number of reasons but I can admire and appreciate it.

    A tad surprised you're late to the party with Cyberpunk. I have to ask if you've played CD Projekt's Witcher series. If you haven't you should drop everything you're doing and get on it, immediately.

    I played 2 and really liked it. For some reason, I never got to 3. Limited free time is my guess and I played through the whole mass effect series 3 times. Also, Skyrim never goes away, same with Fallout.
