so I spilled scotch on my ancient G15 keyboard (got it in 2006 anyway). My keys mostly work except for the keypad, but I use the keypad pretty extensively and some of the keys have become harder to press in recent years, so I'm thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard. While I game a fair amount, I want to make sure it's still comfortable to type. Anyone have experience with these? I was thinking of one of the Cherry Browns like the Logitech G710 as I think having a tactical sensation would be nice but without the sound as that might drive my wife nuts).

I have a Cooler Master mechanical keyboard at home that I love. If you want a happy medium between typing & gaming, I'd go with Browns.

If you're looking for something episodic you can play at work, I'd go with something along the lines of SpaceChem.

[Scigatt]

The problem with SpaceChem for that is, in the later levels, there's a good chance you'll spend an entire day on a level without any progress made.

[Sudo_Nym]

Yeah, but it keeps you busy, and has no time limits. You can play for a while, and then stop whenever.

[Parama]

i'm still terrified of properly starting spacechem
i tried twice already but it's too much effort when also contending with schoolwork, my brain can't think that much all the time
will probably get to it this summer though maybe

I played The Codex of Alchemical Engineering, an online game made by the same people, and was like "well this is fun but requires a lot of thinking and effort."

**My Steam Profile** *(from [SteamDB](http://steamdb.info/calculator/?player= ... country=us))*

* *Worth:* $2427.39
* *Games owned:* 223
* *Games not played:* 152

Glad this is only Steam and not consoles as well.

Or Origin...

[Zachrulez]

Well when they have the big sales a lot of the games come from mega bundles that you buy all in one, so that at least explains the high percentage of never played games at some level.

[zoraster]

so i ended up getting a Logitech G710+. I haven't really used it for gaming yet, but I LOVE typing on it. It'll take some getting used to before I really enjoy its full potential (I'm still mashing buttons down more than I need to), but it's so... satisfying.

I just wish there was something good between the $80 tenkeyless versions and the $120 with keypad. I feel weird paying 40 bucks for a keypad, but there we go.

you can get knytt underground stupidly cheap from indiegala right now.
you really, really should. amazing game.

Every video game ever: http://pastebin.com/EuxZMbWT

the very first thing I ctrl+c'ed for wasn't on the list sorry that list fails
the problem is it's really hard to cover every video game ever because it's ambiguous as to what "counts"
if I made a lame flash game on the interwebs would that count? probably not
if I made the same game but made players pay for it would it count? maybe
if I made the same game and got a publisher for it would it count? probably

there's the stuff that obviously "counts" but there's nothing that obviously "doesn't count" so there's basically no way to actually make that list

what I'm trying to say essentially though is that 43806 is not big enough of a number for a list like that, realistically

For some reason, I want to get a fighting game. Problem is I know jack shit about fighting games. Also I only have PC. Injustice and Mortal Kombat look good, but I heard Street Fighter's better. I'm mainly concerned with n00b-friendliness and prefer solid SP/online play over local MP. Anybody have wisdom/advice/horror stories to share?

[Axxle]

I think it's a list of every published game

[Ythan]

Cool Ball, check. Young Merlin, check.

Divekick is hilarious.

Super Smash Bros Melee is a great fighting game for people who normally don't like fighting games, great competitive community too, noob friendly. No online play though.

Street Fighter IV has pretty good online play and it's combos aren't too complicated so it's one of the more noob friendly fighting games I've played.

Haven't played too much else extensively.

Anyone have any suggestions for a good Hack and Slash on PC? I'm thinking something along the lines of Dynasty Warriors or Monster Hunter. I need something mindless to fuck around with when I'm bored.

I've played Lords of Shadow and Darksiders. LoS is probably more mindless, it's got long and easy platforming sequences where you can just chill and enjoy the landscape view. It's easy to beat the game, but pretty tough to get 110%.

It's still incomplete then.
