A game where you were rewarded for Terriking? No, that might be once in a lifetime.
Random Video Game Crap

I played the beta, really liked it. Was about to pre-order it and got a spreadsheet of the various options I could order.
The price-tag was not consumer friendly and sure as hell won't pay full price for a game that won't give me all the content.
Pre-order DLC I can begrudgingly accept as long as it is cosmetic... but to be denied certain hunters/monsters? Fuck off.
I mean that's the thing. Evolve cut its own throat with the pre-order and day 1 DLC. It was grinding its taint in your face that they were selling you basically a freemium-model game at premium AAA title prices. If it had been a $10 game with all that DLC, I think it'd have gotten a pass on most of it. "Yeah, the base version doesn't have a lot, but it's cheap and it's still fun with a good group" goes pretty far. Heck, if they'd spaced out the DLC so it every quarter they offered a few new bits, instead of having all the crap ready on day 1 but costing extra, it wouldn't have seemed so greedy and offensive.
I never used a N64 controller that way, but they're really hard to get re-used to. I kind of want to play Turok 2, but those controls are pretty much unplayable after being spoiled by modern FPS controls. I'm supposed to aim up and down with the C-buttons? WTF?
Can't I just play it on a PC?
I don't know.Can't I just play it on a PC?
...but on N64, I know that's how you get aiming to be with the control stick instead of the yellow buttons.

Cabin in the Woods just keeps on giving and giving.
Ever since the first one of those, it's like that's become the new Trackmania meta.

Probably because most of the real bona fide trackmania tracks are frustrating as hell.
Holy shit, I have 399 games on Steam?! How the hell did that happen?
Mind you, that's over a 10-year period, with lots of sales, gifts, and bundles. Still, 399?!
That's an average of almost 40 games per year. Of course, some of those games are like $1 little games like Downwell and Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2016.

Humble bundles really bump that number up fast.
I also bought a few bundles on Bundle Stars, which admittedly had some crap games on it that I never played. Mostly bought them for one or two games that would be much cheaper to buy there than on any sale.
Then you plug it into https://steamdb.info/calculator/ and cry.

Don't forget that some games tick that # up multiple times. Each episode of Sam & Max counts, I think. Also, my Steam says 238 games, but I only counted 220-some going down the list, so I'm not sure where the discrepancy comes in.
I had never thought to to that when I was building tracks, though I did love making the crazy long high jumps. I'd actually get a little queasy (from my mild acrophobia) trying to land.
Add Trackmania to the list of things that would be spectacular in VR
...but which would need to have vomit ports built into the helmet.

I can speak to experience, playing Elite and piloting my ship in a dogfight, when my thrusters get disabled and I can't stop myself from simply tumbling through space.

Could be worse, you could have 5000 hours in 5 years.
Vidja games for about 4000 hours of it. Not to mention them there Armadilla books you dun writ.

I'm not sure if I want to rate this post brofist or hugs, because I'm in the same boat.
Plus Halforums.
I don't even have that much in Blood Bowl!
Well, I would bet at least 1/4 of it is him leaving it running for days at a time while he's not playing.
In your defense, your mental health took a severe beating with certain life events. It's understandable.
League of Legends is ghetto DOTA 2. Get your facts straight.That's a good point, but even 75% of 3000 is a lot of hours to play ghetto League of Legends

Actually, aside from Space Engineers, if anything my video gaming has decreased since then. A huge chunk of my hours come from games I played with Pauline, and there's probably another 5000+ hours not represented on there from when I just pirated whatever we wanted to play.[DOUBLEPOST=1485553444,1485553364][/DOUBLEPOST]
No, LoL is ghetto DOTA 1, DOTA 2 is ghetto LoL.
But us true connoisseurs play Demigod.
