Technically the gog version unlocks on the 16th whereas everyone else gets it on the 17th. And I don't see how this is screwing other people over. As much as I like steam, GoG version is completely DRM free

Yeah, totally fucking over those who will have to wait a couple extra hours to start playing.

They totally sprung this on everyone.

If only it was made public a long time ago that GoG > Steam for The Witcher 2 unless achievments are really important to you.

Ah well. If only.

Well a couple of hours if you're lucky, I'm in Australia and a 16GB download is gonna take a while..

It just doesn't make sense that they add cloud saving and achievements to the Steam version but don't allow pre-load and add Securom on top of Steams DRM.

Been a busy month:

Just built my first gaming PC codenamed Deathstar:

IMAG0148.jpg


IMAG0163.jpg


IMAG0190.jpg


IMAG0250.jpg


IMAG0251.jpg



Overall system:

Silverstone FT02 case
Asus P867 PRO motherboard
Intel Core i7 2600k
Corsair H70 "Water cooling"
8GB RAM
ASUS GTX 580
Corsair AX850 Gold rated PSU
LG Blu ray burner
Samsung F4 2TB HDD
Intel 320 series 160GB Solid State Drive
ASUS 23'' 120hz 3D monitor

My first build and thanks to the help of the PC 2011 thread I am now posting from it.

And just a few days ago went from :

04-corolla-hero.jpg

(exact same color) - 2004 corolla


to



IMAG0243.jpg


IMAG0244.jpg


2008 CPO 335i convertable. Only had 24k miles on it and previous owner bought extended warranty/maintenance so I'm covered until 100k miles or 2014 whichever comes first.

Huge upgrade obviously over the rolla. Can't wait to add some stuff to it :p

You are living the good live sir!

I have a good PC that can defend right now, but maybe I will upgrade it soon.

If Atari shows RCT4 in E3 it will be this year.

From the FAQ page,
When can I download The Witcher 2?
You will be able to predownload the game on May 10, 2011. You'll get almost the entire game and, on May 16 at 10:00 PM GMT, you will only need to download a tiny chunk of the installer and you're good to go. You can't possibly get your hands on The Witcher 2 faster anywhere else on the Internet.
Of course you'll be able to redownload the game as many times as you like, should the need arise.

From the neogaf gog thread..
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=27407481&postcount=818

Hello,

The rest of the game will be available the moment it is released. This will happen on May 16, 10 PM GMT and, to my knowledge, is the fastest you can get The Witcher 2 anywhere, at least as far as digital distribution is concerned. Having almost the entire game on your drive at that point helps a lot, too. ;)

Which means it unlocks on Monday, May 16th at noon for those of us on the West Coast.

So I am going on a huge Dreamcast binge right now. Trying to rebuild my collection. Got about 40 games coming in the next week or so, including a keyboard. Here is the first of it:

Alien Front (New Sealed with Mic)
NHL 2K
NBA 2K1
Chu Chu Rocket
Dreamcast Collection (360)

We really need to have some more Dreamcast discussion on here, keep the threads alive:

Don't have any games yet but for general use the 120hz refresh is incredibly smooth. I browsed the web for a couple of hours yesterday and was blown away by how smooth it was.

not really all that impressive, but I took advantage of the b2g2 at gamestop (like 4 of my local gamestops) to work on my ps2 survival horror collection:

33tm7n8.jpg


Sadly Echo Night: Beyond didn't have the real box which is annoying, might have to try to find the art on ebay or something.

All I'm really missing now is Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground, as well as the PS2 version of Fatal Frame 2 but I have the xbox version which has an extra mode and stuff anyway. I even managed to pick up Kuon a while back.

in related news I have become an absolute master at removing gamestop's 8000 stickers without leaving any residue. It involves a lot of heavy breathing and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, lol

Walking Dead Compendium One - Was on sale at Amazon.ca and I liked the first season of the show. Men that book is large!

Sudeki - Rented the Xbox version a while back, liked it, so when I saw this at a store, I picked it up.

Heavy Rain - Already finished, awesome movie, bit tricky since it was my first interactive movie.

Castlevania : Lords of Shadow - Looked like a good God of War clone, so why not, was on sale on Amazon at the same time as Heavy Rain.

Turtleneck and Chain from Lonely Island - Loved the first CD, Loved the tracks I heard from this one.

Space Quest Collection - I remember playing some Sierra Space quest back as a little kid, so I picked this up for Nostalgia sake and for 5$.

Looks sweet! I think it must be the lack of front license plate, but US cars always manage to look better than their UK equivalents ever so slightly :)

Only in some states. Many require both.

Ooh, Interesting, I didn't know that!

If you're from a state that doesn't, are you cool to drive it through a state that does, or do you have to stick one on?

It's not a strict law I live in California they require you to have one on the front, but I never put one on my car. It's been like 5 years no hassle.

I picked up some genuine Phoenix Arcade silkscreen cabinet decals, and redecalled my Attack From Mars pinball machine. Took about 25 hours and required near total disassembly. I'm happy to say I didn't break anything and it now looks brand new. :)

Before : faded, scratched, yukky
