Another game I'm trying to get into is Splitgate. Seems to be all the gaming rage right now. It's like if Portal and Halo had a baby. Some are claiming it's the best competitive FPS ever. I've barely played as the servers are wrecked because of the popularity. Seems incredibly addicting so far though.

When dogs run in their sleep, it wouldn't be a Bethesda game without glitches...

Gotta love Todd.

Splitgate is El Cuco crazy haha! Super fun if you can get in a match! Nutso at times!

I downloaded A Plauge Tale on PS5 last month and barely got into it. The graphics are fantastic and with our current situation, oh and by the way they just found the bubonic plague in a dead chipmunk at Lake Tahoe, the game seems fitting. I'm going to play it later today.

I'm of PS1 and PS2 generation. Have no idea how to get into PC games, especially free ones. But I do play online chess. Does anyone else play chess? If so, what's your fav site? I use chess dot com and lichess. I lose but it's fun.
I did play MS Flight sim for Windows 95 and XP before they ruined it by changing windows and the discs no longer worked. My Win95 machine broke long ago. Hecho en China.

Si. I find 25 min to be relaxing and as fast as I want. 5-15 min too easy to make mistakes and think blitz is simply ridiculous and destroys the game completely.

Playing a free trial of Final Fantasy 14, here is a nice little screenshot

This looks like it's going to be fantastic (if you enjoy racing games). Apparently the open-world map is 1.5x bigger than FH4, which, is crazy. It's going to be a gorgeous game.

From everything i have seen it appears Blizz has really put a lot of TLC into this. Should be impressive.

That's good stuff! I ended up watching it like a movie bf getting distracted lol Definitely roped me in though...the contrast is striking, basically a new game.
