Conan Exiles is the adult version of Minecraft!
Perhaps. I'm more into the building and exploring aspects of Minecraft. I don't like having hostile mobs interrupting my building and trashing my stuff, so I play on Peaceful.
Good call. We play either on our LAN or on a server I set up for just our family.

Sooooo......I did a purely selfish thing Wednesday...one of our dispatchers was selling some things...one was a Xbox One S (1TB) console system, selling it for 100 bucks. I have always loved the Halo games, but never played past what was available for PC, and since I am a Playstation player, never had the chance to play the rest of the Halo series.
So...bought the system and went and bought Halo Reach, Halo 4 and Halo 5 (used from Gamestop). Wife is our of town this weekend......Game On!!!

The dates for the next 3 Steam Sales have been leaked | PC Gamer
Steam Halloween Sale: October 26, 2017 - November 1, 2017
Steam Autumn Sale: November 22, 2017 - November 28, 2017
Steam Winter Sale: December 21, 2017 - January, 2018
I have games I've never played, but my dumbass will still probably buy some DLC or a "new" game if the price is low enough.

ETA: if you're looking for a RTS, check out Northgard. I haven't played it a great deal, but the dev regularly updates the game and it is fun without being too serious or involved.

It also provides another method of staying in contact, as the kid and I play via the internet when I am on the road on my breaks from driving the big rig.
Just got the server up to running FTB Beyond, that way I can fire up some quarrys and other automated stuff that will keep ticking away producing resources while I'm not online.
For you guys on the road a lot, if you don't have a laptop (but it's on there anyway) you could look into a game called Faster Than Light. The requirements are low and it has so much replayablility.
Nice! Two of mine are on their own (one out of state) and one away at school, so it's nice for us to be able to all play on our family server (which I need to set back up now that my desktop is running again).
FTB Beyond? I haven't gotten into the redstone stuff very much yet, although my youngest is pretty savvy with it. I just haven't had enough redstone yet to play with.

FTB Beyond brings in tons of machines and all sorts of odd crap that I don't even know half of it about.
Nuclear power. Solar power. Mining machines of various types. Power and materials movement conduits. Computers of various sorts. etc etc etc.
Humble beginnings for the midget and I...

So it's a mod? I have totally lost track of all of the new stuff in the vanilla game, never mind all of the new mods. I really need to get back to the forum and look around. I need to catch up on my snapshot archive, as well.
Speaking of humble beginnings, I started playing during the beta phase. I'm amazed at how much has been added to the game since then.
It's a compilation of various mods, bringing interesting things into the mix for all sorts of functionality.

COD WWII is not too bad....but opening weekend has had a bunch of bugs (multiplayer), campaign is pretty good...maps are good. I've had about an hour of multiplayer, so not too deep into it yet.
Is there a Massive Online Multiplayer game available that's a first person ww2 shooter that has you fight for control of a map, much like WW2 Online but newer?
If you have a computer I'd highly reccomend Heroes & Generals on Steam.
Heroes & Generals on Steam
The maps are fairly large and you fight over portions of the map via objectives, there are plans, tanks, bikes, jeeps etc. as well. While I haven't played it in over 3 years back when I had a computer I have pretty fond memories of it. It's F2P as well so you don't lose out on anything if you for whatever reason don't like it.

Guys,
My 14 year old son currently plays PayDay2, H1Z1 King of the Kill, and PUBG. He's currently running an Acer Laptop that was a Christmas present two years ago. Needless to say, he's the one who causes the game to lag when he's online with friends.
Any thoughts/recommendations on a reasonably priced laptop/tower that would be more suitable for his gaming? I'm not against the idea of frankensteining one if that is a more reasonable option.
I'm out of my element here, so thanks in advance!

There are about billions ways to skin that cat though a tower will tend to be cheaper. What's your budget?
Fuck reasonably priced potatoboxes... Go full retard now and you won't have to buy a new one till it's time for college for him, easy.
You'll get the most bang for your buck with something that lasts even longer by building a tower yourself. If you already have a monitor you can easily build a tower that can play any game right now with great graphics and smooth fps for around 800-1K. Like AWP said what's your budget?
