Yeah, that time he said he didn't finish DX:HR because he "got 70 (!) hours in and got bored" suddenly makes sense now. He spent 50 of those hours throwing vending machines at people.

I can't fanthom how anyone can play DX:HR for 70hours in one playthrough.
 
Fair enough.

Looking through the archive I'm excited for vinny to argue sleeping dogs for GOTY. Though he probably would give it to walking dead I guess.
 
That QL was incredible. the highs! the lows! "it was a real roller coaster!"

Vinny is the best Sleeping Dogs player. one the phone: "we're getting you help!"
 
Didn't want to start a new thread and this is as good a place as any to ask a question.

Is there a thread on GAF for Nike+ Kinect?

Hey, scripting issues aren't exclusive PC problems.

But look at the process they went through trying to fix it. Restarting the computer, looking for driver updates, worrying about the Direct X pop-up, looking at Windows Update, verifying game files on Steam, Steam crashing 3 times, then finally downloading the missing game file after file verification.

A lot of hassle. At least they eventually got it fixed, though.

looked like a Steam patch issue in the end.

This used to be the norm for PC gaming, now it's few and far between. 9 times out of 10 you launch a game from Steam and it works. You can fiddle with files in some cases to get a better experience (graphics/performance) or you might need to restart Steam to fix some weird bug, but compared to how it used to be PC gaming is a dream these days.

It's funny how this has become true in the last year or two and now Valve thinks it would be better if we were all on Linux.

I don't doubt that PC gaming works fine for the most part. But stuff like this is kind of why I got out of it way back when. Even if you do run into troubles like this, sometimes it's worth it just for the upgrades you get from things like potentially better performance and mods.
 
Do you still get friend popups when you appear offline in steam? If not, Vinny should do that in the future.
 
Something I've been curious about for awhile now... does anyone here actually use giantbomb's wiki and achievements tracking system?
 
Been out of the loop with GB this week, so much to catch up on!

I did when I first became a member but kind of fell out of it when I decided I didn't really feel like committing to the community aspects of the site.
