Hm, Torchlight II seems to be pre-loading again for about the same size as the first time. Is this how it normally works?
That's usually how it works, yeah.
So I'm about to purchase Borderlands 2 on Steam and I see that it unlocks on the 20th for me for some weird reason.
How would I go about unlocking it on the 18th? Any recommendations on what VPN/program to use?
Edit: Nevermind I just saw the info on how to do it on the performance thread.

Yeah I just saw that, thank you.
I finished Quantum Conundrum today and I liked the game, although I wouldn't recommend paying more than $7 for it. I'm surprised with the negative opinions I read in this topic, the game is not so bad. I liked the majority of the Puzzles, the dimension shift mechanic is fun, where I think the game fails is in its unnecessary similarities to Portal, like the Narrator, and subsequent lack of personality. In these aspects they should have learned with The Ball, which although a Portal-like game, had a distinct aesthetic, avoiding that "more of the same" feel.

I seem to remember from an old steam thread you had to keep the VPN. Could be wrong though... Disregard this if wrong

I don't know why I buy all these games if I'm just going to play dota 2, tf2, and ftl.

Looks like Shatter for Mac has gone live on Steam, though actually it hasn't really and what is there isn't working. Somewhat of a premature switch was thrown by Valve without us noticing.
In any case, if you want Shatter for Mac, its coming but wait until the end of the week before purchasing.

Thanks. Bought it as a gift for a friend.
The idea is to be an asshole to them
But El Presidente! Your people are starving!

Yeah I jacked up the rent by about $5 a month in each housing complex and the service fees in restaurants/pubs by the same. If they're just going to bitch I will make them dirt poor and work them 15 hours a day. I try to be a nice guy but my patience has limits!
Just give them Darksiders 2 to play.
Come on I'm not that much of an asshole!

I played the demo and thought it was a kids game. I doubt any adult could enjoy it.
You're going to end up making Betty Boom furious with you.

I played it when it came out and I was 26 at the time, enjoyed it.
But I'm a manchild.
you doubt wrong, for I am not a kid good sir
you could argue the same thing about Wind Waker based on art style alone. Not saying they're comparable in quality because c'mon, but Mini Ninjas is a totally competent platformer/stealth game.
It's OK, but mind-numbingly easy and bland. Two or three boss fights in and I was done, just got boring.
From someone who does this quite often. You have two options. First is to stay on the VPN if you're wanting to play multiplayer. Or secondly, while on the VPN, stick Steam on offline mode and then return back to your normal connection. While it's stuck on offline mode, it'll remain unlocked.
If you unlock the game and return back to a normal connection, the game will no longer work.
the boss fights are indeed awful
Once you know what to do they are easy (which can take a while...), but I meant the game in general. Had no desire to go back, even though the environment was about to change drastically. At least, I assume it was from the last loading screen I saw (snow level).
I think it's fair to call it a kids game. Doesn't mean you can't play them as an adult. Like the Lego Star Wars games.
oh for sure, I was objecting to the "no adults can enjoy it" part of SniperHunter's post not the "it's a kids game" bit. It does have a similar appeal to the LEGO games (at least for me).
Anyway, Vessel dev got back to me on email:

Hm yeah that is annoying. It's not a game breaker though as the puzzles will all still be challenging, it just gives you the option to cheat. Dont do it and you should be fineBut I'll mark it down for fixing in our next patch, we are absolutely swamped with new projects though so it should be awhile, will try to get it in the XBox and PS3 builds though. Thanks man
doesnt look like the bug's gonna be fixed any time soon but I guess we could hope for a PC update along the release of the console versions.
game seems too interesting to just not play it because of the bug so i'll give it another shot tomorrow or so. It still bums me out dammit and I think it's a shame in what otherwise feels like a superb game so far but oh well :b

A good portion of the puzzles in Vessel give you unlimited liquid supplies anyway. They become much more about guiding the fluoros to switches.
yeah, that's nice to hear. Just a shame that it gives you the chance to break something like the upgrade system, wich from what ive seen aint much but still. It always bums me out when I see a game like this with one super obvious bug that for some reason goes overlooked, but eh

Fuck, To the Moon got me pretty choked up.
You fools should play it.
You fools should play it.
I don't know, 10 bucks seems pretty expensive for a top-down RPG. I don't think I'll like it.
now say that in 1994
To be honest, I was never a fan of that genre
The only top-down RPG's I liked were the Pokemon games (gens 1 and 2).
I should still check it out sometime, if it's as good as TouchMyBox says. Maybe as part of an indie bundle, I'm not sure.
Bear in mind, if I understand correctly, it's more of an interactive story than a "traditional" battle RPG like Pokemon or Final Fantasy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, of course.To be honest, I was never a fan of that genre

The OP now links to TunnelBear, but I just posted this in the thread:
US. The game unlocks in a little under 24 hours.

You're correct. The gameplay consists of light puzzle solving and walking around collecting orbs. It's only there as a device to move the plot forward, which is the main focus of the experience (and it's fantastic).

I'd say posting on GAF has more RPG elements than the game, it's pretty much an interactive story.
Yea, I noticed it on my Mac game list. I thought it'll be steamplay when it was on sale.
Mmm maybe I've been to quick to judge the game, it never hurts to ask for opinions. I'll wait for a sale and in the meantime watch some gameplay videos.
+10 exp for the comment, it made me laugh. I have to say, I'm more interested than before now that I know it's not a traditional RPG.

Haha, I thought your original post was a joke about how it was made with RPG Maker.

I don't see the issue here. If the exploit isn't being forced upon you, how does that impact your enjoyment of the game? I could cheat in pretty much any game if I wanted to, whether it's an exploit within the game or something external that can be used. I choose not to however, as it's only ruining my experience.
On an unrelated note, I used to live out in the country so my internet was rather dismal. This is what I was using:
Now I've moved and my ISP has recently done some work at the exchange, so I was able to upgrade to this:
I know most of the people here have a lot faster internet, but yeah, it's pretty amazing to me. I went from needing to leave my computer online overnight to download one game ("AAA") to being able to download a game in a couple of hours.
Is there a way to get the Wolfenstein 3D total conversion to boot through Steam? It has to boot from the batch file and has to be kept in a folder separate from the dosbox executable that the Steam version of Wolfenstein boots from. And as far as I know you can't add a batch file as its own Steam shortcut.
Guys, I need help here.
I moved into a dorm 10 days ago. There's an internet connected but I discovered yesterday that Steam wouldn't connect no matter what. I imagine that's there some port blocking going on with the network that makes it impossible for Steam to operate.
Is there anything I can do about this? I'm staying here for a whole year, so just giving up on Steam isn't really an option for me...

Mini Ninjas is one of those games I stare at every sale, waiting to strike but never actually making good on it. Wheelman was the previous top slot, but I waited too long on that and it's gone forever now... I am so sorry Vin.
I won't let that to happen with Mini Ninjas. Thanks for the lovely screens Salsa.
