I heard the kill function on the next CWRP3 is really off the charts. Ya, the splash damage and cross platform play is all about the permadeath of a paper doll.
When I'm doing a dungeon crawl on the dual simulator it definitely is HUD!

The AV nerd doth protest too much, me thinks.

Alright, y'all. I'm a huge gaming nerd. I'm more into the indie games than the AAA titles (that, and I don't want to pay $60 for a game)

I have my own gaming rig (I paid $1,337 for it. No joke. Nerds will get what that means.) And I stream on Twitch.

Here are some of the games I've loved in 2015 and early 2016:

Life Is Strange - An episodic tale about a high school girl who finds out they have time traveling capabilities. Probably my favorite game of 2015.

Ori and the Blind Forest - Astounding beautiful game, aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and the ears. Enjoyed every moment of this game.

The Cat Lady (and subsequently, Downfall, made by the same people that came out this year) - About someone battling Depression and suicide and how they are affected. Extremely powerful game.

The Walking Dead(Season 1, Season 2, and Micchone) TellTale series - Any of the TellTale games are good. As you can see, I like story based games.

To The Moon - About 2 people who want to help grant the last wish of a dying man. EXTREMELY powerful, I had tears. No joke. Beautiful game. Story based, as well.

Geometry Dash - A cute little game, with GREAT music. Extremely difficult to master. And that's taking it lightly.

I'm probably leaving some out because I'm not at home, but yeah. I love gaming and the cathartic feelings it can bring. I like when it can make me feel.

You built your own rig, or you bought it?

And now that I know that you stream on Twitch, I know you're a true gaming nerd.

I custom built it though enu (enuinc.com) in Portland. Spent about 2 months researching it. I freaking love this thing.

Top 3 things to do when building or buying parts to then be built:

1) Processor

2) Graphics Card

3) Power Supply.

I have a good enough graphics card to last me about 3 years. (Nvidia Gforce 970) And it was only around $250. Processor is an i5, but I didn't need the i7 yet and that's an easy upgrade. So I built it to last about 2.5/3 years before I need any upgrades... except maybe the ram, but ram is so freaking cheap.

Yeah, all the games I listed I've played on twitch. Hell, I usually don't play games unless I am streaming. lol. Except maybe CS:GO, but that's just if I can't sleep.

I'm weird about CS:GO... It's okay, but it's only good because it's really the only one out there that's actually decent. The community is TERRIBLE. I play all my matches (comps) without sound and I play music. I grew up in the Rainbow Six: Raven Shield days and those were GREAT. I loved those times. CS:GO is terrible compared to it, but it's the only one really out there (COD is terrible for about 6-7 years... I don't even remember the name of the last decent one).

I just finished my build. Used https://pcpartpicker.com/ and mostly newegg.

I've got the 970 card as well, but I went with the i7, and 32 gigs of ram.

This sucker hums. I'm averaging around 110-120 fps in some games.

The only game I'm having any framerate issues with is the Culling... it's really random. But everything else is fluid as hell.
 
I've got a nearly five year build with only the card as an upgrade (970) and it's still trucking on with every game being playable on at least high. My i5 2500k is a champ, but the 8 gigs of ram might need an upgrade soon.

Oh snap, just started up battle.net to install the files and it looks like the beta is already active. So I'm going to give this a try in a few minutes when the install is done.

I was having a blast playing it yesterday. Love that you have so many different classes that are so veried in their uses and how to use them and that it feels a lot more skill based then when TF2 came out. It does feel like a TF2 with better graphics but thats just fine with me.

Who have you been playing as?

I've mainly been playing Pharah. Others I've played - Soldier:76, Widowmaker.

Wasn't feeling tracer.

I'v mainly played as Soldier:76 because I love his ultimate attack. Wasn't a fan of Tracer either, the jumping around was to annoying to me.
 
@Strenuus I literally hate you for playing GO Comp games with no sound.. ;) FYI, Dreamhack is live right now, and Summit's standing in for SPLYCE even though they just got demolished. :(

Here's a couple of my ways of thinking on why I do it:

One: The community, especially at the level I'm at (Silver Elite Master... I was higher until they changed it).. is absolutely pitiful and disgraceful, a joke of a community.

Two: It really helps my game sense for maps. I can usually, just by looking at my maps, know where people are going, have been, and are at. So nothing really surprises me and I can play angles pretty well.
 
I never really liked CS that much. I had some fun, but I hated how that game rewarded aiming over reflexes. If I shoot you 4 times center mass with an M4, you shouldn't be able to spin around and shoot me in the face and kill me instantly.

That's partially why I loved COD4 so much. I'd play hardcore, where 2-3 shots from an m4 would kill you. No time for you to spin and headshot. You're just dead.

Why are you aiming for the chest...Noob alert!
 
Been really into Path of Exile lately, since the Pandarus league came out. Much like Diablo 3, but far more in depth.

Every time I hear about this game, I want to get back into it. I only got as far as Act 2 and it seemed fun up to that point.

1b) Motherboard. That's the foundation of the entire system. Don't go cheap! It's like putting a V8 in a Kia Rio. Putting a powerful processor and fast ram in a cheap mb is a waste.

2b) SSD if you're not running an SSD as your boot drive you're missing out. The built in video on the latest i5 or i7 isn't that bad. If it comes down to being able to afford a SSD or vid. card I would go with the SSD.

It's a given you don't go cheap on the mobo. lol. I thought that was a nobrainer.

my vid card seems to do well, I don't run anything video wise off my processor.

I shit you not, I have been waiting for this game to come out for over 7 years now. I can only hope it will live up to my over-inflated, insurmountable hype for it.

I played 3 and 4 several years back and am pretty hyped for this one.

My latest is a year old. Got a 970 and i7 but 16 gigs of ram. Its quite a bit cheaper now and I keep meaning to add a couple more sticks but...

Gotta agree about the SSD, its a huge upgrade! Going back to a HDD now would be like going back to dial-up.
