It can be both.

Well sure, once you go back in time and that option opens up.

Remember Thea: The Awakening? ...What, y'all don't!?


Well a Giant Bomb contributor did.

It's worth a playthrough if you're ever in a drought.

Happy Valentine's Day, folks. I see we are drawing lines here. 😰

If you have it in your library, play it.

only in a drought?

i don't have it

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's a shame there isn't more FMV on GOG or Steam. I need more of it. The little revival of 2015 wasn't enough for me. I need more Christopher Walken.

Like it's worth a playthrough, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
Less than 5 on a steam sale sure.

Probably longer than any other QB thread, this website is weird.

 

[Last Baron]

Does the Pressure client skin somehow hide available family sharing libraries? I've been authorized up and down on both ends and still I can't see my brother's games.

 

[freshVeggie]

Deleted Metro 2033. Watched videos of Metro 2033 Redux and looks it solved my issues, screen tearing and UI. It also has some other nice stuff.
Gonna hold until the Redux. Thankfully Metro Last Light lacks nothing noteworthy from its own Redux version, so I'm set with my vanilla Last Light in my backlog.

"Microsoft paid for and developed the product, they can sell it any dam way that want so yes it is shut the fuck up and take what you are given"

I thought that was GAF's lowpoint of the week but then I came in here and saw the Alan Wake hatebrigade.

Do I have to actually sign in on my brother's computer and authorize from there to get his library?

He signs in on your computer and authorizes your PC.

Evilore had a pretty good response to that post.

Followed by a ban of course.

alan wake sucks

 

[crazyrabbits]

It was the coldest night of the year yesterday in Toronto. -26 Celsius. Still saw morons running around in little clothing (a pair of women running in stockings, a guy jogging while only wearing a dress suit, someone running in a sweater). The All-Star Game also made the streets crazy, but my friends and I took transit.

Rob Zacny is not just any contributor! He's the host of the Three Moves Ahead podcast, which is all about strategy games. They did a great episode on Thea: The Awakening a while back, that really had me interested in the game. I should have bought it during the sale, to be honest.

Great article too.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

It's 80 Fahrenheit in SoCal. Sucks.

 

[Haunted]

That W10 store thread continues to deliver.

"I'm not sure why anybody would actually want to choose the folder location manually"

like holy shit

Oh wow, this is the first podcast beyond the GB stuff that actually has me interested.

Thanks for the heads up!

Quantum Break won't be available on Steam

Xbox games coming to PC is good news for anyone who doesn't want to cough up cash for a console, but what's the catch? It turns out there is a catch in the case of Quantum Break, but it's arguably not a massive one. According to Xbox marketing guy Aaron Greenberg speaking on a recent Major Nelson podcast, Quantum Break won't be available on Steam.

"Quantum Break on Windows 10 is a Windows Store exclusive," Greenberg said unambiguously. He also mentioned that Xbox achievements will carry between Windows 10 and Xbox One, as the game will share save files across the platforms.

It makes sense that Microsoft wouldn't want to sell a first-party game through a competing storefront, though the move is interesting in light of comments made by Xbox senior director for PC gaming Kevin Unangst last year. "We are not intending to compete with Steam," Unangst told Ian. "If anything, we want Steam to be even more successful—they've done great things for PC gamers in terms of having a single store."

He continued: "Over time do we want more developers to come over to our store and offer it in addition to Steam? Absolutely. Is competition good for people? Absolutely. But our goal right now isn't to do anything else other than support Steam and help it run great on Windows 10."

Quantum Break will release April 15 – the same day at its Xbox One counterpart. Meanwhile, we're still waiting for the Gears of War remaster.

That article is pretty bad, sadly. They seem to be in the dark about all the stuff that gets left behind thanks to Universal Windows Apps.

It seems to be the ADOBE ads on GAF that pull my browser window from wherever they are to the top or bottom of the page. I'm leaving the ads on to help, but come on. This sucks.

Kelly Bailey doesn't work at Valve. He was (and possibly still is) a contractor working alongside Morasky. That news is about 2 years old at this point, so I doubt he's still hanging around.

oh

I'm guessing the amount of hats he made per month was unsatisfactory. Valve only needs the best and fastest hatters in the world.

Disconnecting from a ranked match in Street Fighter V does NOT count as a loss.

Sorry.
Seems you really have to be fast on these weird gleam.io giveaways.

But what if you accidentally get the ethernet cord stuck in your toes and pull it out when you're losing? I'm glad they're finally addressing this.

The QB is not coming to Steam thread is giving me a headache.

 

[mp1990]

Damnit, the fourth area in Downwell is breaking me inside. Incredible game though, it's a joy to play. The level design is completely different from what I've seen in other platformers, especially considering the reflex-based mechanics, but does it in a magnificent way. And what makes it even cooler is that it's a japanese indie game, a rarity nowadays. Would certainly be one of my GOTYs if i had played it last year.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

You gotta admit, it's pretty crazy that we have a Quantum Break release date yet the gears remake is still coming some day who knows.

They must be scrambling to figure out how to handle the bad pr of free online play for pc gamers while console owners get shafted.

I have a feeling they'll do a big Windows Launch Day. KI Season 3 and Gears REmake all the same day.

If I know anything about consoles players, it's that they will still keep buying Xbox stuff regardless, so I don't think it really matters.

Contact the mod team. I've had a couple of annoying ads taken down pretty quickly.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Fuck the ads that offer a free app as a gift on mobile. Those are the worst.

no seperate code for the chun li pre order costume from GMG? I guess Steam just treats any key activated before the 16th as a pre order then?

Does anyone know what you need to buy to get a OG ps3 TE stick working on a PC that its incompatible with?

It worked on my old rig but not on my new one. I believe its a usb pci hub or something?

I need to know what to look for when I ask in a computer store or check online. I see alot of old forum posts about it but it never says exactly what the piece you need is.

Joy2key or something similar was said to work with getting Dinout working with SFV.

I think he is talking about the hardware incompatibility with the first batch of Madcatz sticks for the PS360. Some PCI usb hubs fix this but I don't know anything about this.
