Did a Civ match with friends before trying out CS:GO. To be honest, it isn't really my type of game. The shooting seems to be more based on luck with who can get a head shot sooner. That, with a pretty poor community make me believe I won't be playing much of it, if at all.

I never liked it, either.

That moment when you realise the reason why your processor regularly runs at 150% optimal temperature is because the thermal paste is bone dry and you haven't bothered to clean your PC in a year...

I just finished the last episode of Telltale's Game of Thrones.

I fought with Fierce Passion.

And um, well, that's about it...

That game railroads you so bad.

Just finished Tales from the Borderlands, load of fun!

Indeed it is.

Finished the Witcher 3 for the second time and Well, it will probably be long til i pick it up again. It dawned on me as i where doing one of the countless fetch quests that needs doing, that the game had somehow gone from realy great to utterly dull. Hopefully the Dlc will make it better

Fetch quests?

They are in basically every RPG in existence: I've lost/misplaced/need/whatever, X item, I need you to go into Y location and grab an exorbitant amount of them and bring them back to me.

Eh, that's only in MMOs. In single player games its "bring me back this one item, out in the middle of nowhere, that's surrounded by enemies."

I know what they are, I've only come across one in the entire game.

Yeah, the main point of fetch quests is that they're usually generic filler quests that serve no visible point at all.

Go find X and give him a package. Come back with it when you're done. What was the package for? Who knows, certainly nothing to advance even a sub-plot.

TW3 had a few quests where you did fetching, but as far I can remember the ones I did all had a point, and actually went towards something tangible. The lack of fetch quests compared with every other RPG out there is one of the better points in TW3's favour.

Played a couple of Act of Aggression skirmishes. Beat the Easy AI as the US Army in slightly under an hour.

FEAR ME!!!

(yes, I suck at the game )


I've been playing some Heroes of the Storm, as well. I'm starting to hate trying to deal with Cho'Gall in PvP matches.

Morrowind.

I think for once, I'm not going to rob Fargoth of everything he owns.

For anyone experienced in building PCs...

Installing a new CPU fan in my pc. Unfortunately I was a bit clumsy and put fingerprints over the thermal paste covering the fan heatsink (not the CPU itself of). Will it be ok , or is it now contaminated and need to be cleaned?

Also... I started panicking thinking I bought a fan designed only for Intel sockets (which doesn't fit my motherboard)...then turned the instruction sheet over and realised its supposed to fit onto the stock amd brackets that came with the motherboard...which I'd just removed.

Heh, never mind. Damn thing fell over and picked up a load of dirt from my bed so I'm cleaning it anyway. Damn, I'm not off to a good start...

You know what, there's probably a good premise for a web comedy series.

"PC building with neebs".

Wish me luck.

Uh. This thermal paste is making me nauseus.

Unfortunately the only possible orientation for my fan is to point it direct!y down at the GPU, or directly up at the lid of the case (one inch away). Will that be sufficient? I can't point it directly at the exhaust fan.

Oh ya? Every single quest given to you by the various characthers in the game.

Poor Fargoth. All he wants is to be left alone. I mean, it's not like he's an annoying fan or anything.

How, exactly?

If you truly think that, every quest in every Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, etc. game is a fetch quest.

He really does get a lot of hate for having a bit of an annoying voice, and being easy to take advantage of. All those "killing fargoth" videos on youtube...

hit 78 on my Orc Warrior... also replaced my heirlooms with non-heirloom gear to kind of 'handicap' myself.... kind of slow things down so I can enjoy more of the non-dungeon pve.

They always pan out in two ways, either some person lost their backpack while picking flowers or need you to find some obcene amount of flowers OR its go kill x amount of wolves, spiders, skeletons. there are extremly few quests in the Witcher 3 that actualy requiers any amount of real effort from the player.

I haven't had to look for any particular amount of flowers or something like that as far as I recall?

Are you actually playing The Witcher 3, and not some Chinese clone of it?

I started up Eve again, sold a bunch of stuff I had mined up before for a fat billion ISK and moved out to Null. Having a blast so far.

Just got this masterpiece of a weapon in Borderlands 2

Heyo! I'm hosting a Mechwarrior Online thingy this friday! PM for details

After fixing my pc, I played...Paranormal. God is that game in a crap state. Great idea, lots of good scares, but there are so many damn problems with it.

I seriously do not, otherwise I would not ask. Only one I've come across is getting some supplies for Keira Metz.

I honestly dont either. Unless you are calling every quest where you are required to travel from one place to another a fetch quest then I cannot see how you think every quest is a fetch quest in the Witcher. Unless you think every quest in RPG's that isn't a main story quest is a fetch quest in which case I think we have very different definitions of the word.
