I've been thinking of a controller just to play Injustice - gods Among Us.  Are there any recommendations for good controllers for a PC?  Or are they just all the same?

The XBox 360 controller is your best bet.  It is universally supported, fairly inexpensive, and very comfortable.

You can buy a single set that comes with the controller and the PC wireless receiver, or you can buy them separately, but make sure you buy an authentic Microsoft receiver.  There are a ton of third-party receivers that look absolutely identical but work very poorly.  Here is an authentic set:

The Playstation DS4 works great too but you have to use a program to get it to function correctly with PS4.

Pretty easy to setup though.

If any of you guys have a hankering for more Skyrim, a massive new mod was just launched called Enderal.  It's a completely new world set in the Elder Scrolls universe and it has to be one of the most expansive and beautiful mods I've ever seen.  I'm in the middle of Dragon Age: Inquisition at the moment, but this is definitely on my must-play list!

It's trailer time!  Here's another trailer, this time for Final Fantasy XV.  I know I'm a fanboy, but damn this looks good!

I'm so hesitant to want FF15.  After the disasters that were the 13 trilogy....I just can't.

Also, here's a nifty new trailer for Mother 4, a fan-made sequel to Earthbound:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qtQWUF6-Co&feature=youtu.be

This is easily the best fan-made game I've ever seen.  If I didn't know it was a fan project, I would have sworn that Itoi (the creator/producer of the Mother series) was behind it.

The first level of Super Mario 64 has been remade in Unity and it's fully playable in the browser or as a download.

So I picked up Pillars of Eternity on sale at Greenman gaming today (25% OFF).

If you yearn for the good ol days of Icewind Dale and Baldur's Gate buy this game immediately.  I feel like I'm 15 again!

Thanks for the heads up.  It's getting a lot of good press and I've been itching to pick it up.

I finally decided to start playing Mass Effect 3 (I pre-ordered it, and never got around to playing it for some reason), so I think I'll pick up Pillars of Eternity as soon as I'm done with Mass Effect.

Here's a nifty tech demo of Nvidia's VXGI technology running on UE4.  I have no idea what most of this tech does, but it looks cool.

I'm pretty sure this is my game of the year and I haven't even played it yet.
