Looking for people to play the board game Mafia! I know this community doesn't like lies and deception very much but i've always loved those types of games. I'm thinking about getting people on Skype to play it through a digital medium (vídeo game version) because mafia as many versions in the board edition and not everyone has it. Looking forward for your replies if you think it's a good ideia!

I'm really interested in getting a group of free thinking PC video game players together. It would be really helpful if people interested could post what games they are playing. If we can get enough people playing the same games together I'd really like to get some organized gaming events going. What I'm really hoping for is to get some DOTA2 players The game is entirely free, highly competitive and completely skill based. I'm more than willing to teach anyone new to the game the ropes.

If any board members have been infected with this time suck of a hobby, I was thinking it would be cool to have an online space to hang out with other FDR members and play my favorite game. I often find minecraft to be isolating, even on multiplayer, but with a community like this one, we could build a truly epic server for people to relax and socialize with other FDR members. Don't get me wrong, I love the boards, and I love talking about all the important and difficult topics, but at the end of the day, when I want to give my cortex a rest, it would be nice to have people I respect as much as you guys to play with. I could certainly do work within the server itself, but setting that up would be a task unfit for me or my computer, so I humbly ask for the help of anyone more server literate than me. We could use an online server service, but then there would be the cost. Paying for 6 months up front (gives you a 10% discount), with a max of 15 players, would be $81.00 for vanilla or $162.00 for feed the beast. EDIT: just wanted to reiterate: If someone has the know how and the time to set up the server by themselves, it would be essentially free, the pay service would be if there was enough people interested but no one who was able/willing to invest in the time or the server space. Is there interest in something like this? Let me know what you guys think!

Hallo, I am finished with Apple for my OS i plan on using Linux/Ubuntu. I realize there are a lot of computer experts on the boards so i thought i might entreat you to impart some technical suggestions. I am trying to start the year with a brand new PC, put together from scratch. optimally i'd like to have a unit with a 500$ value. I'm curious if any of you experts out there would know what would be a good deal I plan on using computer for playing online games like minecraft and wurm as well perhaps some FPS's like rainbow six and rainbow six vegas.
