Has anybody played space engineers?

 

I've been watching Soviet Womble on YT and it looks quite fun

COD world war 2 seems like its going to be a great game. Back to basics.

It's not bad, but unless you really enjoy building like legos and then destroying it in one massive explosion then there's not much else to do in the game. It needs more in my opinion.

I've been addicted to Shadow Warrior 2 on PC if anyone is keen on joining in some coop fun. Though I don't get much time to play, it's fun for a quick shotgun to the face round.

So gameplay a bit like minecraft then?

I had the shock of my life yesterday. 

 

Went to BT games to trade 2 games that cost close to R900 new. Trade value iss R220. 

 

So I will be keeping my games and play them a bit longer before getting another game.

That's crazy, I think I'll also be holding onto some of my games. I guess like with any business though, they have to make a profit.

The worst part about this whole trade in deal is the profit those guys make on them again.

The 'new' preplayed games are selling for close to R600.

indeed!! But they have, and we want...

A lot actually. But a bit more advanced. The planets are quite boring at the moment, with no liquid featured at all in the game. The collision mechanics in the game are quite wonderful, but they take a toll on a computer. You need a beefy machine to run this smoothly.

 

It's also a steep learning curve as with most games of this sort.

[Jurgens Smit]

Can anybody recommend a high performance notebook that looks good?

 

I don't want to upgrade to another mac and have started doing a lot of work in VM's and linux as well as all my programming work I need something that can handle serious multitasking and multiple processes at once.

 

Gaming is not a super important requisite but it would be nice

 

I have a budget of about 20k

 

 

 

Edit: I need the portability of a notebook so don't want to build a desktop
