What are some of the most ridiculous or dumbest achievements you have come across in a game? What makes me ask this is that there is an achievement for the point and click adventure game Deponia called "Droggeljug" How do you get this achievement you may ask? You have to replay the game with a...

I recently finished playing Valiant Hearts: The Great War - fantastic game, beatiful artwork and story - which is set in WWI. This puzzle adventure game is freely based on historic events but what I really liked about it was it told you a bit about the history behind what was happening in the...

This one's for all of us Steam game hoarders... List Oriented is a blog recording one man's attempt to play through his Steam backlog alphabetically. It's quite interesting to see his views on certain games and I had a chuckle when reading about how his freinds decided to gift him some...

Remember the days when Battlefield took itself a lot less seriously? Remember playing against bots? If you do you may enjoy this game called Ravenfield. It's a free, ~25MB game that provides a short, entertaining experience. Some gifv's of the action...

A couple of years ago, on this forum, I found out about a game in development called Against the Wall which really captured my imagination. Basically you climb an infinitely tall wall which is made up of procedurally generated blocks that can be pulled out and pushed back in again. The challenge...

I came across this fascinating PC Gamer article on How WASD became the standard PC control scheme. It was interesting to see how the WASD configuration became a gaming standard (at least for right-handed players). Can you remember when you started using WASD to play games? What config did you...

Life in South Africa is too stable and predictable... what we need is some total randomness! Please post any random, bizarre, insane things you come across in the internet wildlands. Videos, songs, articles, pictures... anything that makes you go "WTF?" And maybe it will put an awkward smile on...

Here's a quickfire thread for fun. Without thinking about it too much name 3 games, one that was/is overhyped, one that is underrated and lastly one that is infamous (i.e. famous for being bad/terrible) My quick 3: Overhyped: Watchdogs Underrated: Alpha Protocol Infamous: War Z (now called...

So you see there's a new game coming out and it catches your eye. It's pretty good-looking, it looks fun. You think you want this game so you get to know it a bit better. A glance at a review here, a peek at a trailer there, maybe even a bit of actual gameplay footage if you're lucky... But...

EA's Origin Access has quickly become quite a decent deal - R48,50 per month for quite a selection of games. I know that there was a thread about it a while back but I though it may be helpful to have an official thread where I'll keep the OP updated with all that is included. What is Origin...

I thought this could be fun. Green Man Gaming has a birthday mystery bundle special going at the moment. Most of the packs are sold out but there are still 5-Pack's available. The catch is that you don't know what games you are going to get before you buy it. So here's the thing, I've...

The 25 Best Small Towns in South Africa (according to this article) I was reading through this thinking about how diverse and awesome our country is. I've been to a few of these places on the list and can agree that they are pretty awesome places. I would definitely like to go check out some of...

0 A.D. [LINK] I tried this game out a while back and it felt like a rough version of Age of Empires but I see that they have made a lot of progress since then (even building a new engine) and the game seems to be shaping up quite nicely. Will be trying it out again so I'll post my thoughts here.

Here's a bit of fun. I was looking at an article on RockPaperShotgun about the COD Infinite Warfare announcement where they posted the official marketing spiel about the game. Standard hyperbolic stuff, but then in the comments someone reposted the blurb but without most of the adjectives and it...

Do you have any games that you associate with significant stages/moments of your life? Maybe it was a WoW obsession in varsity or a game that got you through a rough patch. Two examples for me are: 1) Playing Gears of War coop with a friend the night before my wedding. I was getting nervous...

So we've got a thread for games you are currently playing but this is a bit different in that it's a thread where we can admit our game hording habit share what we have bought recently and briefly state why (e.g. on wishlist and it went on sale, I liked the previews etc.) I'm thinking it could...

I'm busy playing Tales from the Borderland - which is a Telltale Games style adventure game set in the Borderlands universe and I'm really enjoying it. In a way that the original FPS-RPG Borderlands games didn't seem to do for me - this game has really made me enjoy and appreciate the...

I know why...

Based on a bit of a derailment of the Division thread I thought I post this so us "ou ballies" on the forum can moan together about how we can't manage the late hours and gaming marathons we used to. I just turned 29 - so nearly into my thirties (but with 2 kids) and I can certainly relate to...

So there's this little game called Factorio that has been getting a bit of attention from reviewers lately and it sounded like and interesting concept: Screenshots of the game can look really confusing with all the various machines and conveyor belts etc. but the game does a good job of...
