Can You Really Get A Good Performing Gaming PC For Under $1000?
For many the $1000 mark is an important cut-off. Computers under this are generally considered affordable, even “mainstream,” while those exceeding it are looked at as luxurious items.

While a movie is over in two hours on average, and a TV show may offer ten to twenty hours in a season, an amazing game can be played for hundreds of hours.

These games are so enthralling they can ruin report cards, strain marriages and make you want to call in sick for work – consider yourself warned!
Who Is Gabe Newell And Why Do Gamers Care?

It really won't be too long before the Steam client is stable.
Bloodline Champions: Free-to-Play Skill-Based PvP Arena For Competitive Players [MUO Gaming]
Bloodline Champions (BLC) is a top-down F2P game with high hopes: to create a game where players can play against each other in an arena that rewards skill, not repetition or luck. If you’ve ever heard of the term “e-sports,” this game is a prime candidate. It’s all about aiming, timing, reacting, and making the right decisions - and it’s HARD.
