A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

[Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over? (reddthat.com)

I'm starting XCOM for the first time and it's pretty fun so far, pretty brutal at times though.

The key to XCOM is never to sprint (run with both halves of your action meter) if you can avoid it. Move with half the action, the fire or overwatch.

It's lots of fun, I keep coming back to those games even years later.
