I wish I learned the Win+P shortcut earlier. Press Win+P then press up and enter and you're off.
On my old PC I wouldn't even have to hit Win+P to use my tv, instead I'd just switch off my PC monitor and the picture would automatically appear on my tv, but I can't get it to work anymore.

QFT. With the XBox 360, Microsoft made PC gaming truly glorious. For better or worse, games have been targeted to the console specs, so thanks to the XDK as games got better looking on the 360, they did on the PC also with very little extra required in terms of hardware. Then the controller support was phenomenal. Finally, PC gamers have had a standardised high-quality controller to use for those times where KBAM isn't appropriate.

When people look back, these past seven years or so will be remembered as a golden age of PC gaming, I'm sure.

I don't really understand console style gaming on PC. Doesn't really appeal to me. PC gaming to me is MMO's, MOBAs, Civ, and RTS's. And other games that are more suited to KBAM, like XCom and Castlestorm.
I was completely with you on this about ten years ago, when my monitor was a 17" CRT, controller support was an absolute clusterfuck, the UI was frustrating, and console games didn't often get a PC release.

Today, however, is a different story. To play a "console" game, I hit Win+P to activate second screen (46" LED TV), open Steam, then hit the 360 controller's guide button to launch big picture mode. Then I relax on the couch and play almost anything I could play on 360/PS3.

You're the boss. Kick them off and let them play some great retro game; nothing wrong with a classic upbringing!

You'd be surprised at how powerful your PC needs to be in order to play Minecraft. :D

Yeah, weird that. Sub-optimal coding imo.

Hearthstone is absolute excellence confirmed. At 200-ish meg, everyone should download it and give it a try.

Hey Dad, all my latest kit goes towards MineCraft as well. The Hunger Games servers own my kids (.......as opposed to what the Family Court thinks it decided)

I know you're joking and all (I manlove you too bro), but,
1) My PC.
2) My Minecraft account I bought way back when it was alpha.
3) They won't let me anywhere near it. :(
4) Without me, there would be no Minecraft.

I would share my Steam account tag, but there is no point as I never play any multi on any Steam games. All my PC multi is SC2, LoL, DOTA, Hearthstone. And it's bugger all at that. Although Hearthstone seems to be changing that. Oh, and yep, Hearthstone is a card game.

There was something lost in translation when going between english and polish - they figured RGB was red, grey and brown.

Finally got my Tiny God all set up at the new place, but I've had to temporarily sacrifice my surround sound & 30" monitor for the time being.

...and the missus threw out my monitor pole! :mental: :argh:
