As though I didn't have enough shit to do in the evenings, I've decided to try out one of these online multiplayer games.  I've never put together a gaming PC, since consoles tend to be so much better for casual (non-obsessive, well socially adjusted) play, but since my boy will be using the xbox one, i figure I can run it on my i7 workstation type pc in my lab area.  Although specs are decent, it lacked any real video solution, and instead used some intel integrated graphics thing. Obviously no bueno for a game, so I have a GeForce card coming tomorrow - probably three generations old by now, but fine for my needs and won't require a bigger power supply.  

I'm so gonna get my ass kicked by dweebs and eight-year-olds for a few weeks, but I'm hoping I can be an effective teammate for my kids before too long.

Been a while since I've played anything that wasn't just an open world single player quest game (skyrim, fallout 4, and red dead redemption are the ones from the past decade, I think).  Anyone here play Apex Legends.  Apparently Fortnite just ripped off a bunch of their ideas, but because Epic owns Unreal Engine, they can crank shit out FAST, and Fortnite kind of got all the credit and reputation.

Being able to play multiplayer video games again is a sign you're moving out of the asswiping stage of your life. Congrants man. Someone messaged me in a game the other day and i was like, "Sorry brah, single player mode here."

I play alone.

I've seen Isaac playing Apex some. It looks a little more, UM, realistic than Fortnite. I've given up playing these games for awhile cause I suck with those complex controllers

I'm usually alone when I play with myself

Well I bit the bullet and dumped the controller. Other than about 20 minutes of Doom in college, I've never been a mouse/keyboard guy for first person shooter. It was an ugly start, but now I'm a moderately serviceable player using WASD and mouse. I picked up a real wired mouse and one of those half keyboard rigs, since my work setup is just a wireless keyboard and trackball. Not setting any kill records, but at least I'm not getting killed as soon as I hit the ground anymore.

Hook it up to your nipples for full immersion! 

I do a lot better at shooters with mouse and keyboard than controllers. Notable exceptions are Halo and Goldeneye for some reason.

Now you need a sweet gaming chair and a college fridge filled with Red Bull ?

Like Marmot?

Maybe the Marmot before he quit drinking.

That was when he was dating spinsters and crocheting doilies.
