    What games are you playing?

    I've started watching streams as well, not something I used to do but it's a nice background to development. Mostly I watch Natural Selection 2 matches.

    What games are you playing?

    How is PRM these days? I played from 0.1-0.5ish but then around of time unfortunately. I still remember one of the most intense fps rounds I've ever played was on PRM 0.4.
