It is much better to use controllers for steam games

Ah sounds lame. Yeah I've been taking a break for the 6 months but I may resub when the new expansion hits because except for arena at was pretty boring.
Are you the type with lots of alts then? :tongue:

Yeah arena and PVP were pretty fun. I liked boss fights the most, with all the tactics and stuff. Yeah, I've been playing since burning crusade so accumulated a lot of characters, also organised the boss nights with my guild so it helps knowing that if we're missing a role I can fill it. What do you main? Healer? :tongue:

I accumulated stupid amounts of characters on WoW (18 toons at 85+, 11 of which are at 90, 7 of those are at 560+ ilvl), but once the raid content was all done on multiple of them I just could not be bothered. Only so many times you can get full completion of the HC Raids before getting bored of them :P Especially when like me you've completed it in all possible roles - healer, tank, melee dps, range dps, caster dps /yawn.

I got dark souls in the steam winter sale, and when i started playing it earlier today i realised my hand can't stay put on WASD and reach over for L at the same time. So i downloaded motioninjoy and now use my ps3 controller. Best. Decision. Ever.

I RECOMMEND EVERYONE DO THIS.

Over, and out.

Good luck playing Dota 2 with a controller… (at least until they port it to the Steam Controller)

I might just stay for a while :colondollar:

You sound terribly a lot like my male friend who also happens to not sleep a lot :lol:

4 hours max sleep is his medicine :eek:

Nope, I'm just building a monster base since I've already got a satisfactory 27" inch monitor :wink:

Aye it's an expensive hobby I have already spend well over a grand :frown:

how much did your current rig cost?
2 months is nothing :colone:

The trick is to sleep 4 hours a day during the week, and then sleep an entire day during the weekend. Look i'm such a good example!!!11! :biggrin:

maybe i am your friend. :colonhash:

But 2 27" monitors would be heavenly, the computer i have now was built in 2008, but i've been switching things in and out every now and then, but it's gotten to the point where the newer parts don't fit anymore, so i've probably spent around 1.5 grand? :eek:

But it was about a grand when i first got it. So it's probably better I eventually just build a completely new one from scratch. I can hear my fans changing and slowly deteriorating, it's making me sad.

.. 2 months :colone:

you're a great example to many people, including my friend( and possibly me :biggrin:

)!
haha possibly but i would ask since when did he have sex change and a name change? :eek:

I don't have it in me to live on 4 hours i'd be shattered :frown:

triple not double would be heaven!
I'm planning to have mine ready this summer( with exams and stuff april/may there is no point assembling it now..) :biggrin:

My final budget will probably be around 2K :frown:

2008 is so so old now :lol:

so presumably you still got the same motherboard? what have you upgraded?
I'm surprised it is still holding together after all these years....

haha 2 months will be over in a flash :tongue:

guess i'll better start planning our date :colone:

Although, even though i only sleep 4 hours, the amount of time i spend in my bed... i don't even want to talk about it - it's shameful.
Oh my, triple is just beautiful. 2k - ouch. Though, it is pretty worth it. :colondollar:

I can't believe I've had it since 2008, but I guess because i only play games on it, and pretty much nothing else, my hdd isn't filled with a load of junk.
My processor is intel core 2, still runs quite nicely though so i'm doing something right :P Same motherboard, i changed the fans a while ago as the ones previously were just disgusting then my brother helped me out with the stuff i don't know about :biggrin:

When i eventually build my own, it'll be my forever child crafted from my own hands and research :ahee:

maybe i can check out your hardware :sexface:

Apart from crying babies, there is nothing I hate more than stupid controllers with their stupid analogue sticks. Dumbest thing ever invented. Games are meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard. Controllers are uncomfortable, extremely restrictive and completely ruin your gaming experience in every way. It's extremely hard to aim properly with analogue sticks in games where aiming really matters. Using a mouse and keyboard improves your gaming experience tenfold. I really, really hate stupid controllers and garbage gaming consoles. PC gaming for the win. Mouse and keyboard for the win.

Time will tell if it was the right investment :wink:

i was expecting something worse like Pentium 4 or something :lol:

but yeah core 2 isn't too bad for basic gaming :smile:

i can tell you're not a hardcore gamer :tongue:

We're quite the polar opposites of each other my HDD is filled with filth(not in that way! haha ) approaching 2TB :cool:

so you have a laptop?
Oh i wouldn't like to see the dust inside your computer :nooo:

I look forward to seeing what you've in store :tongue:

HAHAHA you can do a performance check on it :sexface:

Can't get used to keyboard & mouse. I have a gaming PC but don't really play games on it. I use my Xbox One for gaming :redface:
