Windows 8.1 isn't too bad. Just buy a start menu replacer for $3 or download a free one and it's basically Windows 7, but better.

From what I understand it's lighter weight and improves performance in some games. Also, it's search function is better.
It also gets in the way a fair bit and I hate having mobile based applications on my PC! The Skype that comes with 8.1 is not really suitable for PC use, since it takes up a whole screen, also counting it separate from the desktop. I've not had any major problems using 8.1, just little bits of annoying bits.

The worst thing for me so far is the inability to use basically every "app" because my screen resolution isn't correct...can it not just resize things? -_-

If I choose the "recommended" settings then the screen goes way too big, on a 32-36 inch TV it's less than helpful.

Not sure why you'd want to use the mobile app nonsense in 8.1 unless you are on a tablet, they really don't work well for desktops, they get in the way and don't follow the same rules as applications in many ways.

My video converter that cost me £30 actually works so that's awesome. I didn't realise until testing it that it also converts the signal to 60hz from 50. Which is an added bonus. I just need to test its functionality with my Elgato game capture now.

In other news, Steam is having an anime game sale for the weekend, obviously there's quite a lot of visual novels in there and some questionable content in there.

Yeah, it does seem like a pass, I will say that "Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale" is a good game though :cool:

I already have Recettear though. And I agree, it's a good game.

So I decided to boot up my PS3 for the first time in a while. Still had PS+ so I decided to see what they had this month in regards to the free game selection. Saw Prototype 2, remaindered a friend back in 2011 telling me the first one rocked. So was pretty hyped. Turns out it was better than I had imagined, just beat the game about half an hour ago. 8/10 IMO

Prototype 2 is a pretty cool game. I have it somewhere around here on X360.

I saw it in the Steam sale, during the winter, I was tempted to pick it up but turned it down, maybe next time I will pick it up.

Recettear I like because it's a different part of a wider genre, how often do you get to play as an item seller! It is an interest concept and they made it work, there is also more to it obviously. I should really go back an install that game...

I liked P2 until the ending, that last fight was so forced.

Better than the last fight of the first game though that last boss was ridiculously tough even on normal mode.

I hope someone reboots or continues the franchise but to have a less "big because big is cool" theme, more stealth and brain usage instead of just "Hammerfists from the nearest rooftop and I win!"


So many movie reboots, not enough game reboots there are tons that would be great with todays technology. I'd like Resistance to be brought back it had some great ideas.

Road Rash needs a reboot.

Never heard of it :rofl:


I hope the new gen console versions of Minecraft get the option to bypass the save file limit soon.
Kinda sucks that my PS4 is as powerful or more powerful than my PC but can't have an ever expanding word because saves are limited to 150mb or something close to that.

Considering I just put a 2TB hard drive in I wouldn't mind a 10GB Minecraft save...

I remember Road Rash. It was this amazing motorcycle game on the NES, similar to Knight Rider from the same system.
