I can't wait for this to release and looking at the recommended specs I should be able to max this game out.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Surprised no one has posted this yet but GOG.com is making its own optional client called Galaxy. They released a short trailer to announce it on its page.

http://www.gog.com/galaxy

Also if you preorder the Witcher 3 on GOG.com and you own either (or both) of the previous games you can get a discount. Best part is that you don't even need to own them on GOG.com.All did was enter my two Steam codes for Witcher 1&2 onto this page (http://www.gog.com/thewitcher3/en) and they give you the GOG.com versions of them plus the discount.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Xenonauts finally gets released (for all you X-Com fans)

http://www.xenonauts.com/xenonauts-overview/

It's on steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/223830/

And Divinity: Original Sin gets a release date for June 30th

The feedback I'm hearing about the beta for this is very positive !

Looking forward to it.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Videoball is still looking good, but it still lacks a release date:

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

So I was playing some insurgency tonight (was in beast mode 8-0, 18-12, 12-2 rounds). I suddenly start getting excessive ping warnings which I thought was funny because my internet is incredible. So I get booted from the game and I thought it might of been deliberate by the admin or something. I run to speed test.net to test my connection just to be sure.

YUP!!!!! It was not because of my internet

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

well, your ping to that server could have been bad. It depends on where the server is located at.

I doubt it, Dallas to Lafayette is extremely close ping wise.

Ping spikes can always happen(or server possibly getting overloaded). I've seen it playing on Dayz servers located in Dallas.

But wouldn't you see the entire server see a increase in ping if the server was experiencing a ping spike?

not necessarily, it might not have effected everyone.

Galaxy Note 2

For a personal home connection it is pretty fantastic. Plus at only $44 a month it is a hell of a steal. Price has risen but I got grandfathered in at this price because I was one of the first adapters.
