    I am considering doing a major upgrade this year and getting a 8700k processor and 1TB M.2 hard drive. To do this I will need a new motherboard and have absolutely no idea what is good. Any suggestions?

     

    It will have to the Z370, which is basically a rebranded Z270 that costs a bit more. I’m piecing together my first gaming PC by Christmas after being on consoles for last 10 years and decided to go 7th gen for now and upgrade on 9th or 10th gen as 8th gen seems a bit rushed and I don’t want the stress of hunting around for an i5 8400 and instead just want to build ASAP so I can stop gaming on my iMac. At the end of the day I got a 7600k, and saved a chunk picking it up on sale at Microcenter.

    I ended up not being able to hold out as I really wanted something to play and nothing on the current sales was calling to me. So, I bought it at full price planning to complete at least one playthrough over the next few months. I'm a few hours in but not far enough past the handholding sections to really get a grasp of how much I like it, but early indications are good.

     

    I think I am going to restart after I get another couple of hours in as I feel I may be shooting myself in the foot early on not speccing the characters right or using scrolls too early that I may need later.

    is anyone playing Battle Royale? mildly interesting controversy going on right now. I picked it up and it runs pretty well on my 2012 machine (iMac, running Windows).

    I got the deluxe edition for sale on pc the other day. I'm actually playing on my 27" iMac from 2012 until I can build a new pc. I'm very pleased with the performance. It runs really well on high and looks great!

    I have not played the first one, but have always wanted too. I am moving from PS4 back to PC gaming (won't be finished with my build until Christmas). Until then I am making do with my 27" iMac 2012. I was looking at the first game but it is currently $40, just wondering if it ever goes below that in any bundles or sales? if so i might wait for the sale, if not I might go ahead and get it.

    Yes, I like Marc Maron and enjoyed his character. We finished the season today and I was very pleased with it overall. Looking forward to the continuation in season two. I wish Netflix would do more episodes per season because we're blowing through shows really quick these days.

    I have had a fun time with Glow noticing characters portrayed by actors I recognized much later after thinking, "why is this person's voice sooooo familiar". Obvious one is

    The best thing about the Xbox One X is that it abbreviates to XB1X.

     

    No it's literally XBOX but you got most of the way there

    I went to the Reflektor tour and it was nuts! Their ability to filter their music and never have an off song is second to none. That show was one of my favorites ever. There's a new Phoenix record out tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it but have tempered expectations after Bankrupt! I'll be back in here this weekend with my initial thoughts.

    I played through in two sittings and was very satisfied! As someone else said I'm glad to have another game to show non gamers! This is the perfect game to get my wife to play while I sit there grinning while she freaks out. Watching her play Gone Home with white knuckles was satisfying as hell and I imagine this will be the same!

    So I finished the Sense of an Ending and it definitely resonated with me (as someone who was a total shit in the past).  What should I read next?

    VERY excited. On a scale from 1-10 of excitement.. I'm a solid 2........ 1 being most excited.

     

    Curious, do you always scale things in reverse? Most people would indicate greater excitement with a greater number such as 10/10, etc.
