I particularly enjoy the "This would be sexist if it were an ad" line. So mindblowing.

I think I'm actually dumber for reading that.

I never heard anybody but me talk about Mystic Towers, so that's a good thing. That game will give you the beat down but you'll enjoy every second of it.

Since we're sharing the love of free game goodness, this site has tons of free DOS game goodness, all these games are free on places like GOG, but others have become freeware over the years by the original authors or companies that put them out. Good stuff too like Alien Carnage, Bio Menace, Command & Conquer, Castle of the Winds, and much more.

I really want the play the original Witcher, but I can't think of any appropriate way to set it up for the controller. I know there is a supposedly good Pinnacle profile, but I'm not willing to try that and I haven't really found anything on appropriate ways to set it up for Xpadder. I don't necessarily feel like I'm missing much, although at times when I play the second I feel blindingly lost on certain aspects simply because I'm missing so much story from the first game.

It's only $10 for PGP.

Pay $10 for something I'll only use for one game that itself costs $10? Is that worth it?

PGP is great for many games. $ well spent.

Actually, I'm kind of wondering about using the DS4 with PC, seeing as it has the touch pad. Seems like it could be useful in replacing hotkeys.

I hardly ever use Steam (only got it to register a couple physical games I own) but do they sometimes just give you games? Hopped on this morning and they were all like lol here's Dino D-Day! ok then...

Yes they do. They often give you a game free for a weekend. It's like a full-game demo you get to keep for the weekend to see if you like the game.

Steam rules. You should spend more time on there. Didn't even know you had it.
