I've always liked campaigns in FPS games. Medal of Honor, Red Faction, Halo, Crysis, Portal, Half Life, Doom, you name it.

However, Call of Duty campaigns were something else. I'm not saying they were better games than those above, but Treyarch and Infinity Ward always knew how to craft cinematic experiences and set pieces.

World at War had Berlin's Invasion, Modern Warfare had Prypriat, MW2 had "No Russian", Black Ops had the prison break. They knew how to take war movie tropes and repackage them in neat gamey experiences - and seriously... I liked them?

Many years later, war FPS scene has changed. Live Service games dominate the media, with traditional shooter campaigns not gatherin

Opa, pessoal.

Estou reorganizando minhas finanças para 2022, e estou avaliando outras opções de controles e acompanhamento financeiro.

Vocês utilizam alguma planilha automatizada? Atualmente eu uso uma baseada nesse modelo da Microsoft, para Excel. Gostei porque apresenta de um jeito bem legal, e eu editei para ele pegar as atividades financeiras (gastos, receitas, saldos, rendimentos) de uma aba auxiliar e jogar automaticamente na aba de resumo mensal.

Meu único problema é que ele não funciona muito bem quando passa de um ano para outro, dá um certo trabalho lidar com gastos que "viram" o ano.

Now that Microsoft's cloud gaming service, Xcloud, officially launched in my country, I was finally able to beat the last game in the Arkham Trilogy. And boy, was it good.

The game feels like the culmination of the trilogy, improving on all the mechanics and characters that the other games introduced and giving its own twist. The urgent plot, the ramifications of Joker's hijinks from Arkham City, the integration of the bat family during side and main stories. It nails almost perfectly the feel of Batman's animated movies, while giving you all the tools you need to allow the Dark Knight to shine.

Was the heavily criticized Batmobile bad? I don't think so. It feels fast, but incred

Todo ano, todo semestre é sempre a mesma coisa.... Sempre digo que dessa vez não vou deixar as coisas para última hora, que vou fazer as coisas com antecedência...

Aí agora tô aqui, nas vésperas do prazo de entregar a qualificação do meu mestrado, com um negócio semi pronto, que meu orientador nem viu ainda. Ele não tem nada de ruim, mas é foda ter enrolado tanto por causa de desmotivação e fuder tudo assim. Capaz de ser desligado do programa e aí decepcionar todo mundo. Ou entregar um lixo e decepcionar assim mesmo.

A group of friends and I (around 6 to 8 people) are organizing a LAN party, is there anything you recommend?

Some of us would be playing on controllers, so it'd be nice if there was native support (not JoyToKey, please!). FPS are fine!

EDIT: Some games we already play:

Zombie Army Trilogy, Left 4 Dead 2, League of Legends, Borderlands 2, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 4, Civilization V, Portal 2, Dead Island (Both games), Castle Crashers

Well, I've been playing way too much Civ lately, and I'm feeling kind of burned out on it.

So, I wanted to try some different things. Do you guys have any RTS games you like? Preferably somewhat Civ-like, where you manage economy, military, stuff like that. I've already played the CK and EU games - love Crusader Kings, but Europa Universalis didn't click with me.

Specs:

*NVIDIA GeForce 920m *8gb RAM *1TB HDD *i5 5200U

I got this new notebook a month ago, updated everything through Windows Update and the drivers through GeForce experience and/or Dell Update Manager. Everything worked great, games, programs, photoshop, you name it.

However, it hangs when playing two specific games: Skyrim and Crusader Kings 2. The first one I can play fine for hours, either doing quests or wandering around. However, it freezes if I keep moving through the perks in the skills menu. The second one I can play for maybe 5 minutes, before it freezes. In both cases the music still plays normally, but the computer doesn't respond to anything - in game cursor doesn't work

Hi! It's my first post here after someone told me about this subreddit, so I wanted to help the community a little bit!

The two gifts are:

  • Terraria
  • Legend of Grimrock

So there'll be two winners! To participate, just share a Halloween story (real life, creepypasta, or whatever you've got!) to get in the seasonal spirit! I will use my mom's kitten as a neutral party to randomly select the winning username and post the results in ~16 to 18 hours.

EDIT: Forgot to say, but you may participate in both raffles, although I'll select another person if you've been drawn twice

EDIT: Our neutral party was sadly unable to take part in our giveaway :( She went to the vet and was fairly [unin

Hi! I've recently started searching for new phone to replace my Razr D3 (I believe it's a brazilian exclusive, but I'm not sure), since its internal storage(only 2.5gb!) has become too small for me.

I'm mostly looking for a durable phone with a decent camera and that I can keep for at least a couple years. Being able to root and modify it easily is a nice plus too. For me, the N5 has an ideal screen size, and I'd prefer not to have a bigger phone than that.

So far, I've come to three options: the Nexus 5, the new Moto G and the old Moto X. The new Moto X is too expensive for me at the moment. The N5 and the X are basically the same price here, and are usually around 200 dollars more expens
