you might as well hand in your PC gamer club card.
one of the most unique gaming experiences i've ever had.
solving the puzzles is truly rewarding and the story is amazing.


stop playing yourself and start making science.
Whoever straight up refuses to even TRY Portal 2 is a loser

FTL: Advanced Edition
We’ve been working hard over the summer and are excited to finally officially announce a free expansion, FTL: Advanced Edition! FTL: AE is a huge content addition that includes new weapons, drones, augments, systems, enemies, and more. Here are some details on just a few of the additions visible in the trailer:

  • Mind Control System: Temporarily turn enemies into allies. Force a boarder to repair the damage they just did, or have the enemy pilot sabotage their own helm.
  • Hacking System: Lockdown and disrupt enemy systems. Unique effects for each system, ranging from forcing a teleporter remove boarders to making the medbay damage instead of heal.
  • New Sector and Events: Our writer Tom Jubert has returned along with special guest writer Chris Avellone (of Planescape fame), who managed to find some time for us between his work on Project Eternity and Wasteland 2. They’ve been helping us add a new sector and scatter new events throughout the rest of the game.
  • New Weapons and Effects: Many new weapons that take advantage of new mechanics: overcharging to increase the number of volleys, stun effects to freeze crew, and area effect targeting, to name a few.
  • And more systems, drones, augments, enemy ships, enemy layouts, and hostile environments. All of which we’ll be sure to talk about more in the coming weeks!
In addition to new content, we’ve continued to polish FTL and add some of the most requested small features. As a few examples: you’ll be able to save your crew positions and send them back to battle-stations, save and quit during combat, and find more items for purchase in stores.

For the purists out there, FTL vanilla will still be available. All of the new content can be disabled from within the hangar before starting a new game.

:blessed:

TBH sometimes I do breh (especially after this BF4 fiasco on my system). But then I'm like, I'll just buy a muthafukking ps4, keep my pretty bad ass gaming rig, and have the best of both worlds. Not a real hard decision :ld:

Additionally, nothing beats the multi-monitor gaming experience and (soon to be) occulus rift shyt that consoles will probably never get.

Edit: and let's be honest, just how many console only exclusives are there anyway? Like one to two a year (although this year was especially hard for PC only gamers, with the Last of Us and GTA V)
Some hell most of my favorite games aren't available on PC natively.

I tried Don't Starve. it's a cool crafting/survival game. seems like it probably gets pretty deep if you actually survive long enough
