    my friend who likes those games also enjoys the Company of Heroes games. i've played the first one and it's one of the best games i've ever played, but maybe a bit dated now. haven't played the second.

    CoH is really great, I don't think it looks or plays dated right now, I just got it about 6 months ago and have enjoyed the levels I've played so far.
    and i've just scratched the surface on Total War Shogun 2 but it is excellent so far.

    I thought I had played Stellaris for only an hour and a half, when I looked up 3 hours had passed.

    Yeah I went on a CS:GO kick a couple months back. Probably going to play overwatch the most once it gets out next week though. Heard their competitive rankings were dumb though so if they don't fix that it might get boring quick.

    i basically just started playing casual, so i'm just a private at the moment, but i'll be attempting to make a run this weekend.

    i remember playing the original counterstrike as a kid, so it has been fun playing so far. a lot of my time has been devoted to playing against bots and getting the main guns down.

    Hit me up on steam (fsck, save avatar) and I'd be down to play. I haven't done match making but used to play FPSs back in the day pretty competitively. Given that you guys are up at 7:00am though, I'm guessing you're east coast and we wouldn't have much overlap on week days.

    The Stanley Parable... on sale for $2.99, normally I would say anything is worth $2.99, but its supposedly only 15 minutes long.
    Guess it warrants multiple play throughs, but i was hoping to get the opinion of someone who had played it.
    Play or pass?

    It can be 15 minutes long. Just depends on how you approach the game. If you take your time and don't follow directions, the game is 100x more enjoyable and hilarious.

    Worth $3 just for the concept imo, but yeah you can watch the game online too so there is that (I did this with Firewatch)

    Thanks for the rec on Stanley.
    i did the same with Firewatch too, have done that with several games. Youtube is the only "streaming" thing that isn't blocked at work, so I end up listening and watching while I work.

    If you don't enjoy at least one of the endings for the Stanley Parable I will be stunned. Just make sure you try to go everywhere, and read the achievements it sets up a lot of the different paths.

    Separately, have you guys ever had to choose between getting a game on XBox One/PS4 versus your PC?

    I love the superior graphics on my PC, but my PC is in my bedroom at a desk, and sometimes I like being able to play XBox from the couch (since I sit at a desk all day). If it's not a game where the PC controls are definitively better (Civ 5, strategy games, etc) I usually opt for XBox.

    So, to answer my own question, I just linked my TV into my PC through the wall and am now able to run games in 4K and play from my couch. It's been amazing so far - never buying another console game again.

    do you just use a wireless mouse/keyboard combo for that? sounds like something i'll be doing very soon.

    I had to buy an additional keyboard mouse combo because it was too annoying to take the peripherals from the bedroom to the living room. I have two sets now, but whatever.

    from what i've read, all the sale are upfront this time, no flash sales or revolving sales.
    Not sure if that for sure means there are no additional sales, but that was the impression I got.
