Yeah I'm having a good time with this one.  The "nightmare" was a pretty cool little easter egg.  :)

Flight Simulator X has been re-released on Steam and right now it's on sale for $5.  It's been optimized for Windows 8.1 and includes the Acceleration Expansion Pack, too.

That company who makes the railroad sim with a billion DLCs bought the rights to FSX, I guess.  I look forward to spending $4,000 on DLC for it. :)

I was looking into the train sim. Supposedly worth it if you're into trains, but a lot of the DLC seems to be badly designed/optimized/tested, so it'd be better to check user reviews on those.

My recent Thrustmaster flight stick purchase just popped a major boner.  Currently with a high risk of priapism. :P

QuoteOffice mode

In office mode, the game runs in real time and cannot be sped up. The game can be quickly forced to the background making the computer available for other use. While the game continues to run in the background, a system tray icon will notify the gamer of certain events as they occur. The office mode hotkey, sometimes referred to as the boss key, is activated by striking the escape key twice in rapid succession. A game in office mode lasts no more than six hours. The boss key is available in all game modes, but it is designed for this mode in particular.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It's nice to see Boss Mode, once so popular with so many games back in the late '80s and '90s, come back.  M1 Tank Platoon and Red Storm Rising had a Boss Key that would bring up the C:> prompt, and let you type away.  :lol:

The new Wolfenstein game is $20 on Steam for anyone looking to kill Nazis.

Still the best classical FPS of 2014.

Classical as in the engine, or classical as in a WW2 shooter?
