Mister Jack

Thanks. I'll keep it in mind when I inevitably need to make room on the SSD.

Steam sent me a 75% off coupon out of the blue so I got this for 5 bucks. It's the first time I've ever actually bothered to use one of those coupons. Usually they pass them out for total crap.

Yes. I suppose that would be a more accurate way to put it.

It works for some programs, like the little ones that don't make registry keys, but for big programs like steam games, not so much.

Does anybody have any program recommendations for moving files back and forth between an SSD and an HDD?

After rewatching Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the umpteenth time recently I thought to myself "you know, I've never read the actual book it's based on." I had some amazon kindle credit just for downloading the app so I used it to buy Who Censored Roger Rabbit and just finished it. It's a far cry from the movie that it inspired, what with the word balloons and doppels, but I still just enjoy the whole humans and toons living side by side thing. Kinda makes me wish we could have another movie about it, but that doesn't seem likely to happen anymore in the age of CG.

http://www.howtogeek.com/243012/why-you-shouldnt-buy-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-and-other-pc-games-from-the-windows-store/ Well, so much for getting Quantum Break. Silly me, I thought Microsoft had actually managed to do something right for once, but I should have known better. They can't do ANYTHING right.

I got a free Division code as a bonus for my new PC! That's good! But it's a code for uPlay...that's bad. But you can still launch it through steam! That's good! But the overlay won't work...that's bad. But it comes with a free hazmat suit! That's good! The hazmat suit is level D without an SCBA or polymeric nano fabrics. ...That's bad.

Well I'm not. GIVE ME THAT 60 FPS TREASURE HUNTING.

Man, I forgot how much fun it is when games let you stop time during combat. I want this to be a thing again. It makes me feel like a god.

Got my case. Now I just have to wait for the PC to arrive. Any day now...

Where do you go to test that?

And now I've beaten Dishonored. It ended up being shorter than I expected. Three of the missions only took me about 20 minutes each. I managed to get through it without killing anybody except for one guy I was unaware of who I put to sleep with a dart and then his unconscious body fell down a flight of stairs. Oops. Probably took me 7 or 8 hours, but I'm going to play it again as a murderous psychopath so I'm not complaining about the length, especially since I paid 15 bucks for it.

I'm going through my backlog while I wait for my new PC to arrive and finally decided to play through Dishonored. It's a decent stealth game, but something about the design that really bothers me is that most of the cool powers are lethal, but going lethal gives you a bad ending, so you have to ignore them if you want the good ending. I would have preferred something like inFamous where there are two different power sets based on how you play rather than one power set that clearly favors a certain approach.

Oh, well, carry on then.

Well forget what I said earlier about not buying it. Apparently I'll be getting the PC version for free with the PC I recently bought. I just emailed them to ask if I'm eligible and I am, so that's cool. I doubt I would have bought this game for 60 bucks, but I'll take it for free, I guess.

I bought Wolfenstein: The Old Blood a while back on sale and only just now got around to beating it. Pretty decent little standalone, especially since I only paid like 6 or 7 bucks for it.

Play this one first.

I got the exact opposite impression from this game. I hated Destiny, but Division seems to have a much better idea of how to handle missions, PVP, and an open world. The shooting is good enough, I suppose, but the cover system is pretty smooth once you get used to it. I'm not buying it at launch, though. I'm going to wait a bit and see what people have to say about it after a month has passed. I learned my lesson last time.

I guess it would depend on the game. I haven't really tried to use Big Picture Mode before since most of my PC games in the last few years were indie games. I might try it, but my tv is set up in such a way that it's not so easy to get to the cables so it might end up being too much hassle for me.

Oh they're still obnoxiously elitist about it, but I'm betting that the laptop I just bought is still better than a lot of people's desktops.

GENTLEMEN...BEHOLD!!! I HAVE REJOINED THE MASTER RACE!!! My current laptop is definitely on its way out (a bunch of the keys don't even work anymore) and it was mid-tier when I bought it in the first place, meaning that while it handled last-gen games okay for the most part, it got left in the dust near the end of that gen and the beginning of this one. That was the first time I bought a PC with my own money, so I'm taking what I learned from that experience and making sure to future-proof this time around.
