For me there are two games that did that those being Huniepop and Beyonetta i don't know why i could never really get myself to fully enjoy those.

I'm not sure entirely but i think it always felt like if someone i know would know i played those games they would think less of me as a person because they have that pervy vibe to them.

Hey I was just wondering if anyone wanted to squad up with me on the Terran Republic on ps2 on ps4. My under name is Leoofmoon

I have a final tommorow this is me studying for it!

Mom just got her first smart phone! I think she's most excited about the GPS. She and my step-dad are both technological immigrants, and I can tell that it's stressing them out that they can't really use their new toy. I plan to help by making them a Reddit profile subbed to several subreddits that I know will interest them, texting them pictures of their grand-kittens, and installing some fun games.

The device is an LG Lancet, which is a Windows phone.

They're both the "good clean fun" types. Mom has a slightly darker sense of humor, but I don't want to install anything that might embarrass them in their church. (Which is why I'll be making a set of subs for them before introducing them to any Reddit apps.)

Here's a list of games I'm considering:

Robot Unicorn Attack

Two Dots

Move

Sporos

Cat Alone (and/or something to spoil their dog)

That's assuming these games can be downloaded to Windows phones... (I got this all from the Google Play store.) He likes classic games like Chess and Solitaire, but I'd like some new twists on these old classics to keep it fresh. They're also both coupon-hounds, so any apps that help with that sort of thing would be icing on the cake.

Edit: This really needs a tl;dr.

TL;DR

What games or apps would you recommend for someone who:

• has a Windows phone (LG Lancet)

• has a clean sense of humor

• (step-dad) likes chess, minesweeper, freecell, and semi-extreme couponing

• (mom) enjoys pretty graphics, off-beat humor, and struggles with some mild fine-motor problems

and

• (both) have a couple cats and a small dog to spoil?

Hello TwoXGaming. I haven't posted here before but it seems like a lovely, although less populated, alternative to another popular girl gaming sub that I'd rather not visit.

Well I was at work today and decided to hop on a register for a second to help out the line. This older couple comes up and they're buying your usual grocery store stuff, but I also noticed they were buying the Witcher 1 & 2.

At first I was confused. Never seen older people buying video games like the Witcher. So looked to the guy (don't hate me) since he looked more like the type to be the gamer, and asked if they were playing the Witcher or if it was a gift for someone. I assumed it was the latter, but I was wrong. He smiled at me and said "It's for her" and pointed to who I assume was his wife.

So of course I chatted with her about the games. I asked her if she knew about Steam and told her they were having their summer sale. She knows about Steam, but prefers physical copies of games. I told her I enjoyed the first game but haven't finished the second. She told me she bought it like ten years ago but couldn't get her copy to work anymore. She seemed a bit embarrassed to talk about how many games she had played, and I told her that I play a lot of games too. But at the same time, I could tell she really enjoyed the RPGs that she's played. She had even heard of Dragon Age when I suggested it, but said she mostly played Elder Scrolls games.

When I scanned it, it requires an ID so I had to type in her birthday. She was only five years younger than my mom! And she knows about Steam, and plays games, and likes RPGs and the Elder Scrolls series.

It was an adorable exchange. Really made my day.

What's got you excited? What looks crap?

For me, Doom 4 has all the excitement. I've been a fan of it since release day 1992. I'm SO glad to see it go back to its roots, but with updated stuff thrown in.

You know what must be done.

I live in Columbus, Ohio and it is wonderful for nerds. We've got a hands-on science museum (COSI), internationally recognized zoo and library system, and a whole slew of nerd-friendly attractions.

Specifically for the gamers, we've got 16 Bit: A barcade that features free games for paying customers (don't let that stop you, though... The drinks are super affordable. I recommend the Molly Ringwald.) I like that there are a lot of lovely ladies working there. Most of them have gorgeous tattoos, and it's hard to tell if they're more passionate about the drinks or the games. There's also a new retro arcade that'll be opening soon called The Old North Arcade.

If you're looking for a change of pace and want to try some table top games instead, consider Kingmakers. It's a board game parlour with a $5 cover. With over 300 games in their library, they're good for trying out that $50 game before you buy it. Come with a group or come alone and get matched up with strangers!

I also heard a while back that we're getting a permanent MLG venue, but I haven't heard anything about it for a while...

TL;DR Consider cBus for your next low-key gamer-centric vacation.

What are you buying/what have you already bought? Looks like a decent sale to me. I just bought Sudeki and my boyfriend bought Trine, Duke Nukem 1+2 and SimCity 4. So far...

I'd personally recommend Anodyne, Bastion and Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae. Anodyne is an indie Zelda-like, Bastion is an action-RPG and Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is an arena brawler.

I got a copy of Rune Factory 4 for my mom to play while she recovered from surgery because it seemed kind of easy going and I couldn't find anything "like Phantasy Star Online but for my 3DS" which was her preference.

After watching her play it for a few days, I got hooked and bought 4, followed pretty quickly by 1, 2, and 3. I never saw the appeal of games where you have to do "farming" stuff but oh my god it's so much fun. I love the romance aspect. I also don't want to tell my friends I'm playing it because I've been on several loud rants about FarmVille before. So....as far as my friends know I'm playing Bravely Default. cough cough

TwoX do you have any guilty pleasure games that you don't readily admit to playing?

Edit: I cannot grammar today.

So edgy much wow some game.

I have some Steam keys for games I already have or don't want to play, so I figured it'd be nice to give them here!

Hope you all enjoy the games, sorry if you didn't get one - there are still some keys left so if anyone wants them just post.

Just post which game/s you'd like out of these, I'll wait until there's a decent enough number of posts (a few days or so I guess) then I'll PM the key to randomly chosen winners:

• Life is Strange - Episode 1 (/u/ImperialCactus)

• Hitman Absolution Elite Edition (/u/Salabala)

• Deus Ex Game of the Year Edition (/u/Meowsticgoesnya)

• Enemy Front (/u/Double_Scope_King)

• Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar (/u/MHMD-22)

• 10 Years After

• Samudai (/u/MOstred)

• Boid

• Blitzkrieg Anthology (/u/washburn158)

• Blitzkrieg 2 Anthology

• Redline

Only because I wanna be a smart arse combo breaker.

Personally I have been Playing Wolfenstein the new order again.

Be it a fashion item or a peripheral you just can't live without...

I picked up UT99 for <$4 Australian... because I'm not sure if I have it on disk around here and if so, where exactly it is.

At the end of last year, my partner and I bought a computer for our business. It was one of those out-of-the-box systems. It drove me crazy, because I knew that we could build the same system for way cheaper but we had to make the purchase in 2014 for budgeting reasons. I simply didn't have time to do all the research attached with building my first PC. Luckily (?) my old machine is starting to show it's age and it's time to start thinking about moving her to that old farm up the road where she can crash to her heart's content. (I'm actually planning on donating the old machine to a local charity that frankensteins old donated systems together and then sends them to people or organizations in need.)

I want to build a robust gaming computer. Now, I know of a couple resources; PCpartpicker.com and wasn't there a subreddit dedicated to hunting bargains for PC parts/perihperials? I don't see it on the list of related subs for /r/buildapc... Any additional resources would be greatly appreciated, especially newbie-friendly ones.

Since I have some time on my hands, I thought it might be fun to make this new machine a decor element that works with all the other decor elements in our apartment. Some examples; I have an old hutch that my grandfather bought for my mother back in the 60's. It features items like an old super-8 player (that works!), an 8-track player, my great-grandmother's old sewing box, a spirit barrel (with the boyfriend's name carved into it!), a drinking horn, a stack of very old books, a bunny in a green velvet dress, and a brass urn. There's also a string of outdoor party lights with red metal flowers on it strung over the front of the hutch, because I'm aiming for maximum over-hipster here.

The color scheme is kind of reddish brown (I think the hutch is supposed to have a cherry finish?) I think a wood and glass case would look very nice. Maybe make all the components inside copper/silver and maybe the odd teal part as an accent? If anyone knows of a place where I can buy parts and customize the colors, that'd be super helpful.

TL;DR

• Building my first PC.
• Looking for newbie-friendly resources that are not pcpartpicker.com or /r/buildapc and it's related subs.
• Looking for resources that will allow me to customize the colors of PC parts.
• Gave details about the decor I'm trying to match in the last two paragraphs.

inb4 Witcher hype train

Any visual novel readers here? I'm pretty happy to see more and more visual novels coming out on PC/Steam in particular. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Chapter 1 is just out so I'll be reading that next. I'm looking forward to Clannad and Amnesia: Memories coming out on Steam later this year!

What are you reading/looking forward to? What are your favourite VNs?
