What are you playing this weekend/these days?


Just finished Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time. Great game once again. Really enjoyed Clank's logic puzzles. First time I got the Rhino weapon, but it's pretty underwhelming for the amount of work you have to put in to get it. One of the most fun gadgets is a disco ball that makes enemies dance. Can't help but smile when big robots and even boss enemies start grooving out :-)

Since I can't find Tools of Destruction I guess I'll play the newest one on Playstation Live or whatever their streaming service is called now.
 
PS2 games look blurry on PS3 so I've been using pcsx2 on linux and now they look spectacular. Increased resolution & a few other tweaks and the games are crisp, fast and gorgeous. I've always felt many games look better on pc and this setup matches that. My games are: Half-Life, Deus Ex, No One Lives Forever, Shadow of the Colossus, NBA Street Vol 2, Ridge Racer V and Burnout 3 (current favorite). The only drawback, and it's a big one, is playing at my desk not sofa.

Not possible to get your PC image displayed on your TV and use a wireless controller for gameplay?
 
I have so many consoles and so many games its a bit silly. Actually it's my dream come true.
I have many consoles and handhelds, so I changed my setup so my living room is build around a large desk which features the TV but also my PC and monitor.
So, I can switch from gaming on my PC to playing via the TV on the sofa more easily. My modern consoles are also there, so enough options.
I can stream my PC's games to my other PC's, Steam deck or to my VR headset to. I do also have a Steam Link but it's aging.
Having some small Steam-device attached to your TV, and have a fast internal network, allows you to play on the big screen to.
 
Just finished the original Half-Life on PC.
I started a while ago but I didn't enjoy the Xen levels that much which included the boss fight at the end. So I finished it just under 16 hours, but the last hour or so I did today.

I played Black Mesa in the past, when those levels weren't there yet. So, I can do those now. I think they are improved compared to the original version.
