Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play

My wife and her sister did a long day of Pokemon Go. Which does not include walking, like I keep hearing about but not seeing. What they do is go to a local driving park that is loaded with Pokemon and drive slowly around it for hours, so they get out and walk even less than if they were watching TV at home. The park is full of people driving slowly around with the AC blasting in their cars going from PokeStop to PokeStop hatching eggs from the slow movement of the cars.

I could get into Pokemon Go, if I wanted to be outside, but humans have spent so many hundreds of years perfecting the insides of homes, why would I want to go out?

I see kids, and a few adults, walking around our small town with their heads firmly in the Pokemon Go app. We have two gyms and a pokestop... which is funny because it's such a small town.

I was in downtown Wooster, OH over the weekend. A whole bunch of people were gathered around the town square, and all took off running at the same time.... natural reaction is to start running as well, right? They were after a super rare pokemon

People "stampeding", as the media put it, to central park to find a super rare pokemon.

Just bought Voodoo Garden

Got my gaming PC back up and running last night. Need to do some more testing to see how stable it actually is but hopefully it will work out.
Probably won't do SLI/Crossfire in my next build.

Yeah, that's generally more of a pain than it's worth, unless you're using two or more top end cards.

I bought these cards when they first came out and their was a bug in the firmware release that allowed the 6950s to become 6970s. So I bought two of the 6950s for less then the price of the 6970. With the firmware hack I basically got two 6970's.

Playing Warframe, thanks to @DustinB3403 ... NOT.
Just think of a shooter with some crazy ninja style movement and a Diablo-like "just one more drop" feeling. A bit like a mix from MDK, Quake / UT, maybe Mass Effect and Diablo. And it's actually F2P without P2W: You are even allowed to trade endgame items against "premium" currency.

Been watching a friend play No Man's Sky over the weekend. In reality... it looked pretty boring.

It's like minecraft + skyrim from what I've heard. Accurate?

No, there is no role playing. So nothing like Skyrim. More like Minecraft without the building.

I see. Maybe they said skyrim meaning first person. Then again minecraft is first person. lol
Fun Fact: I've never played minecraft. I don't get it.

I don't get it either, but the kids are playing it right now. It's a bit like an unlimited box of Legos. It's super boring. You can skin it... um, that's interesting for a few seconds.

That's a horrible way to use Skyrim as an example. It's third person for a lot of people, too.NMS is just a first person, unlimited, random exploration game. But it's random, so the exploration is really, really boring.

@scottalanmiller Plus it looks way worse than the preview footage, which is always a slap in the face to fans:

Base game is very boring to me. The fun part, on the PC, is the mod scene. Lots of mods include quests, adventures, etc. Some mods have a progression system so the goal is to get to the end of the tier and see the cool things that were implemented. It's good for some people and not good for others for sure.
