Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play
- 
 Liesl and I are playing some XCOM. 
- 
 Now Liesl is playing Castaway Paradise while I get some work done.

 Just plugged in my steam controller for the first time. Any games you guys recommend for getting used to this thing? Trying to decide what I want to play... I was thinking about playing through Portal tonight because I had never played it until this week.

Well any normal controller based game will "just work" like normal. It's games that don't accept controllers and only work with a mouse that are the really interesting ones. Find an old school point and click style adventure to really see it in action as a mouse replacement.

Baulder's Gate and the like, work really well with the steam controller.

 Torchlight is a good point & click that would be interesting for this, perhaps?

 Liesl is trying out Bad Rats

 Oculus Rift is now just $399!

 @mlnews at that price, I might actually consider one.

 I was playing Subnautica last night, and I hit a big milestone -- completing the Cyclops submersible. As I was touring the interior, the game crashed. Last save was an hour prior. Soooo I went to bed. Tonight, I'll get back to where I was and I'm going to set up a 15 minute save timer. I wish that game had auto-save!

 @coliver I want the Vive, or nothing. Until that goes to 399 though i wont buy it.
