First Open Thread Of Summer

Today’s 30C weather didn’t put me in much of a mood for gaming today, that and I was worn out by the time I got home today. I took one of those accidental naps that seem to happen from time to time. I’m not sure what I’ll do tomorrow, the weather is supposed to be about the same. I may take my gaming laptop outside and play in the front lawn. :trollface: At work today I played some classic Tomb Raider (because that’s what you do when you buy a gaming laptop with an i7 6700-HQ and a GTX 970m, you kick it old school obviously), actually had someone ask me if I used Steam… which was funny because I was playing using the Steam Controller. Kind of got into an argument with them over Ark Survival, they seem to think that it’s $100 when off sale? Maybe in another country, but not here… yet.

I did play a bit of Alpha Protocol tonight. Controls seem to take a little getting used to, may even remap them or make an attempt playing with the Steam Controller instead. Seems similar to Deus Ex in some cases, especially when hacking alarm systems… and the computer hacking? That’s going to take some getting used to. It also has dialogue options similar to Deus Ex but on a faaaaaar more simplistic scale. Seems to have the basics for your typical espionage game, it’s a bit early in the game for me to offer much of an opinion on it though. Good or not it was a freebie though, so I can’t complain too much. :v:
