Never got as far as water cooling, but my last system had 5 fans including the ones on the cooling tower, video card and power supply.I was into it too . I have some muscle bound systems all built from scratch . I got into the water cooled over clocking and just abusing them to see what they would do . The tech advances so fast though .
I had 11 PC with 2 servers on a network in the house . All self taught . Kids loved it . Movies music and games they could play from the server in the house . We used to play Quake 3 and half life .
Like to have that money back . LOL .
I get games used at Gamestop usually.I play several hours a day. One of the reasons I get up so early. I have just about every PS3 game there is and many Xbox. I have not got a PS4 yet as I am to chrap to pay over $15 a game. I buy used games on amazon. I do not do online stuff as those kids are to good for me. It takes practice. Take it slow and and look around a lot. Tomb Raider games might be good for you and I really enjoys them. I like all the Tom Clancy's games and call of duty. That Border lands is good.
Dying of dysentery reminds me of survival games. I played the survival game Ark for awhile. It was harsh!! You literally have to immediately find shelter, food, fire etc. It was very cool but required so much daily check in time to keep your animals and structures secure from others u quit.Who can forget "You have died of dysentery".
Love all the games you mentioned pretty much. Excited that a new Dragon Age is coming out next year. Assassins creed early games I hated but they morphed it from action to an RPG / action. The one in Egypt is amazing!! LOL this thread is going to have me back in the doghouse for hours spent in the upstairs office “working”I've been playing since the early 80's starting on an Apple IIe with dual floppy drives, LOL. The original Castle Wolfenstein, what a game. Ultima IV. Been playing on a home built PC for the last ~20yrs, not as nice as some of you have shown, but I'm way more into stand alone RPGs like Fallout (loved III and New Vegas, IV was OK), Skyrim, Dragon Age, The Witcher Series and their like that don't need the super response times like online FPS games. Assassins Creed Black Flag was cool, I want to try the Viking one. I've been playing a lot of wierd indy game lately, EPIC gives away a couple free games every month. "Don't Starve" was fun and "Sunless Sea" is bizarre but interesting. Oh, "The Long Dark", pretty cool.
The Long Dark and Don't Starve are both survival but they're stand alone so no checking in required. The Long Dark is "semi-realistic" just you vs nature.Dying of dysentery reminds me of survival games. I played the survival game Ark for awhile. It was harsh!!

I actually had a Castle Wolfenstein disk someone gave me! Might still have it somewhere.I've been playing since the early 80's starting on an Apple IIe with dual floppy drives, LOL.

Yeah, I figured I'd get laughed off the site but this has been interesting.Cool threadSmokyMose .
Anyone remember 'Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards'? Hilarious game on Apple PC from the early nineties.
My ex and my now SIL used to make cheat books for EA. They made a living but I don't remember 6 figures LOL!Wasted many a hard earned quarter on Space Invaders, Asteroids, PacMan, Galaga, DigDug, FoodFight, SpyHunter, you name it. Still have the patterns and strategy committed to memory. Had most consoles Pong through PS4 and trying to score PS5 this year for Christmas. For some reason I stayed away from PC games. Not sure why. I played a few of the PS4 Dark Souls franchise titles a few years a pop and man those were hard games. Very cool time to be a gamer with all the options. I have a buddy who's kid is monetized on YouTube making well over 6 figures doing walkthroughs. Could talk games as much as smoking but admit I do not have the time I used to play.
I started to bring that up . That was one recommended for grade school aged kids . Halfway through Wyoming the whole family and all their friends were dead . LOL . My Daughter was freaked out by it .In grade school I remember playing the Oregon Trail on the Apple II E. My sister always died.
