I downloaded the Euro-Truck simulator demo :laugh:

Seriously, who finds this enjoyable?

man, don't sleep. I gotta deliver some herbs from Amsterdam to London :ninja2:

I like it. once you get your own truck, it turns into this sandbox delivery game. you can do all this other stuff, like hire drivers for your company, but I haven't even got into all that. you even level up, and dump points into skill trees. there's really a lot more depth than you might imagine

driving the truck ain't easy. there really is a lot of stuff to keep in mind with momentum, and wide turns, not to mention reversing with a trailer :damn:

overall I find it relaxing. it's a game I can play at my pace. I can put on music or a podcast, and just zone out

night time when it's raining... :ohlawd:

I'm clearly playing the demo wrong, half the time I just drive into traffic :laugh:

The thing I don't get is, is the game in real-time? Are the driving times what they would be in real life, cause I see the map and it seems to have modeled most of western Europe.

nah, that confused me too. I'd say it's all around 1/10th scale for time and distance (very rough estimate)

AMD 7850 2GB.

I'd convert my HTPC to a gaming rig before I did my server. Seems like a bad idea if you ask me.

That's if the PSU lasts, :sadcam:

Think instead of getting yet another replacement I'm going to go with the following,

[ame=http://www.amazon.com/Antec-ISK110-VESA-Mini-ITX-Case/dp/B0064LWISQ]Amazon.com: Antec Mini-ITX Case ISK110-VESA: Computers & Accessories[/ame]

Thing that fukks me up is that after I win a game I continue on some OCD shyt to take over the entire continent. Shimazu World Order, :violent:

lol. I know that feeling. Beat Medieval 2 with every faction and went for complete domination each time. Doing that is so much more difficult with the mods. Broken Crescent and Third Age make it impossible.

What game do you guys recommend to break in my new MSI R7950 Twin Frozr? I got Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 with the card for free, but their not out yet.
