Winter Gaming

forrest · Thu Nov 08, 12 11:20 am **Winter Gaming**

Now that there isn't much to do until the snow falls, what gaming are people doing this fall?

I'm still rocking Starcraft 2 and Battlefield 3 on the PC.

Counter-Strike:GO, Halo 4, Black Ops 2, and Assasins Creed 3 are what Ill be getting down on over the winter. Some BF3 mixed in there most likely still but that game is really annoying to me as its meant to be a team based game, with no in game chat, so unless you have people to team up and play with, its pretty pointless.

Portal 2, Peggle, Little Big Planet (group play) and Uncharted....PS3. Zelda, Donkey Kong, Super Mario Sunshine, Wii fitness games, Wii Dance anything..Wii. I thought about getting an Xbox, but my husband would not be pleased.

Got my Halo 4 to pass time between BJJ and MMA training. Winter is not so bad.

playing pixelated Minecraft is surprisingly fun playing coop with an 8-year old.

Good post..

Laughed out loud @ wakeup's one liner!

You guys might be able to help, I'm going to be looking for a high end gaming PC soon, who would you recommend going to, websites, companies to look up etc

Thanks,

Borg.

Start with the brand and type of CPU and GPU you want, and then just put it together from the highest rated parts on Newegg.com.

Don't forget to spend good money on a solid state disk, most return on investment in terms of performance.

I just built a PC not too long ago, I started a thread about it on here somewhere if you want to take the time to look it up. At this point my PC is running 100% with no freezes or anything. I was having some issues when it was first built, but a bios came out for my mother board about a month and a half ago and everything is running smoothly now.

if you have a lot of disposable cash check out a local company http://www.falcon-nw.com

WoW for me. Just can't do twitch or fps anymore for some reason. The new expansion is pretty fun too ...and if anyone is in to cards I started playing MTG and it's pretty fun and social. You have to brush your teeth and put some clothes on to play though.

Yah as I said if you have a lot of disposable cash. Personally i'd build my own from new-egg and frys, and spend the rest on kite stuff.

Thanks for the reply’s guys, I'm into BF3 and I want to run it on full bore settings, it's been around 6 years since I built my last rig....alot has changed!!

Just watched some dude on youtube going through the steps of building a current spec gaming machine and it reminded me how easy it is to do, I think I'll go down this route, nothing better than the satisfaction of it all, saving a few $$ here and there helps too.

I did find this website that I thought was really good for specking a machine out..

Not going fully water cooled, just the CPU I recon, the options are endless since I started reading up on the latest and greatest.

Thanks again,

Borginsteiner.
