I sport the same avatr over on Steam atm =P.

I do want Vulkan to succeed mostly because I don't really fancy upgrading to 10 after what I;v'0e seen and what I'll lose in the process, especially since Vulkan isn't going towards just on OS while DX 12 will require you to use both the latest GPU and Windows 10.

The reasons I'm not all for them as much is due to both noise and cost, I'd go for a nice looking one that was quiet and doesn't cost £40+, I have a specific limit on price points for K+M.

Tbh I don't see the point in either streaming systems, I mean you have to pay £300+ for the console and the games and then at the end of the day you are streaming them to your own rig which is the same as streaming to a tv only you're rig that costs more that can also do better than the console, to me that's just burning money for the sake of not playing a console on your tv or in the same room.

And so do I, but Steam doesn't allow to search users by avatar .

It's true that they are more expensive, with some of them being crazy stupid.

Personally I don't find my K-board noisy and I don't regret my purchase. The feeling of the keys is a bit different and I really like it, it's more satistying.

Right now, I'm most exited when I read the development diaries for Hearts of Iron 4. Those who played the previous entries will remark just how much it improves and enhances the gameplay, while those who didn't will probably get overwhelmed by it's complexity, as usual with Paradox grand Strategy titles. And this friday's entry will be in-depth explanations about Germany => Superhyped

Edit: here's the link to the diaries for anyone interested: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/hearts-of-iron-iv-developer-diary-archive-live-stream-videos.847266/

Well, yesterday I posted the Just Cause 3 PC Requirements... and they weren't true . Instead of a GTX 760 or an R9 280X as Recommended, the truth is that it asks for a GTX 780 or an R9 290.

Sorry, guys.

And AMD has released the new CRIMSON drivers! You can read some of the articles about it here:

In summary, better interface, better user experience and minor improvements in most (but not all) games.

Did you end up liking the two Bioshock DLCs? 

Warhammer the End Times: Vermentide is awesome! If any of you guys enjoy Left For Dead set in a more fantasy universe with a heavier emphasis on melee combat it's nearly identical. I have fourtyhours already clocked on it and have beat all stages on Hard and now working on Nightmare :). Is anybody else playing it?

edit - Fourty hours not four lol

HERE IS 9 MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE FROM UNRAVEL

http://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/here-is-9-minutes-of-gameplay-footage-from-unravel/

I still consider Unravel one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Unravel is a physics-based puzzle game platformer in which you play as Yarny, a tiny new character made from a single thread of yarn that slowly unravels as you move. And yesterday IGN shared a video, showing 9 minutes of brand new gameplay footage.

>>This game is definitely something else. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6XbrI9jVtQ

Epic Games has released a new teaser trailer for its upcoming PC title, Paragon, revealing a new in-game playable hero called Dekker.

UNKNOWN WORLDS RESUMES NATURAL SELECTION 2 DEVELOPMENT

http://www.pcgamer.com/unknown-worlds-resumes-natural-selection-2-development/

Released in 2012, Natural Selection 2 pits a squad of heavily-armed human marines against a horde of alien invaders. It's first and foremost a shooter, but it incorporates RTS elements that, as we said in our very positive review, are what "ties it all together." A couple of years after it came out, developer Unknown Worlds turned control of the game's future development over to a small team made up of members of the NS2 community, so it could focus exclusively on Subnautica. Earlier today, however, the studio took the reins back, saying that it's time to "try something new."
