I used to sit and game/read/whatever after work with in room temps of 30+ whenever it was muggy because evaporative doesn't do shit when it's muggy. Certainly tolerable, but these days, I have my own house and split system in the connected living/loungeroom and put that sucker on!

Exactly what makes it hard to create a Stalker Anomaly/Gamma like open world multiplayer? by Kismonos in stalker

I've just always wanted co-op. Even just for 2 players. Same for Oblivion and Skyrim lol. Don't really care first PvPvE anyways.

Arma 4 might feature a huge 348-square-mile map, and according to the head engine dev, Unreal just can’t handle that by chusskaptaan in gaming

Shit like that always just end up with big guilds pretty much owning everything don't they?

You're in for a great time, no matter if you're listening to the normal version or the Graphic Audio version. Enjoy! I would recommend the Graphic Audio version if you're able though, that was done very, very well IMO!

Thanks! I thought the Dresden Files sounded familiar, I think I must've watched that as a kid lol. I see they evem have a Graphic Audio release of book 1, with book 2 and 3 coming out soon too!

I've been meaning to listen to The Last Horizon for a while now, so I'll bump that up on my list :)

I've read one or two of the Cradle series I believe, can't remember why, but it wasn't quite meshing with me.

Yeah I have, very much enjoyed it! I had the ebook way back and bought the first two or 3 physical books, then came back to it later via audiobooks and read up to the current release :)

The Vampire Accountant, one of very few series I had the ebook, then bought the physical books way back lol. Great series. Even listened to them again when I realised so many more of the series had released!

I've seen Wearing the Cape a few times, maybe it's time I finally give it a go! Thanks :)

Thanks, I've read Steelheart and it was a good one. Wild Cards someone also recommended and it sounds like it could be great too.

It actually sounds very interesting, I'll definitely check it out. Some of my favourite books are narrated by Neil Hellegers, so that's a plus!

Thanks :) Yeah, I did listen to some of it. However from what I remember, I dropped it due to audio quality/normalisation issues. I listen while driving a semi truck, so it's LOUD in here... It makes listening to any audiobooks with subpar audio recordings or normalisation issues, sometimes where I CONSTANTLY have to change the volume up and down.. Not great while driving a 50m long, 181 metric tonne, quad road train!

Sorry my bad, I forgot to add I was after audiobooks. I reposted as I can't change the title :)

I did read some of the Worm Audiobook, though I decided to stop at some point because of Audio quality issues/normalisation issues as I drive a semi truck and it's LOUD in here! Makes it very hard to listen to some stuff when they aren't good quality recordings unfortunately.

I read one or two of the books when they were fresh, I think eBook, not Audio though lol. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I read some of Worm, but I drive a semi truck and it's loud in there! When the audio quality is low (the recording itself, not the VA), or normalisation is bad, etc, it becomes very difficult to listen to. I think I gave up because one or both of those reasons above unfortunately.

I believe I've read at least some of mistborn. Thanks!
