Naruto is on the 25th, and I'll probably complain about it being shallow and then buy it anyway because it's a fighting game on the PC.Midweek update. Let me know if I missed anything new.

The third level is the worst in TFE ~_~ I don't see any reason to play classic anymore though, the HD remakes are superior in every way (except demo playback). I just love the graphics and art in those games (and glitches).
Quoting myself to say I finally fixed this. There is a small program called 7+ Taskbar Tweaker that will disable anything you want.
I tried registry editing and tons of other over the past year but this finally worked. You can disable every single hover feature of windows 7+8, no thumbnail, no list, no little balloon for tab names that are too long to show fully in the bar itself.
As far as I can see those hover features (even if they are actually up or not) will kill the fps of games touching them. Similar to the way Skype will shit up frame rates when it pops up a notification over a borderless fullscreen game, but all the time.
Side note: Don't use Skype, it's bad.
That statement feels like a plot twist in an M Night Shamalan movie.

The LTTP Dark Souls' Adventure of Copons S01E08
Do you remember that time I killed Havel and I was super happy and super smartass and shit.
Eh. Good for you, because it seems like ten years ago in my funny holiday in Lordran.
(Spoilers on Undead Asylum, Darkroot Basin and Blighttown)
Highlight of the day: my cat suddenly started to mimick me while playing. I dunno really how to describe it... she stood up in front of me trying to push the triggers of my pad, then doing a scared look, meowing and running away. It was like a reaction video of me (but more furry) playing DS.
All in all it was funny. So funny, it led me to die somewhere. Thank you cat, eh.

(Spoilers on Undead Asylum, Darkroot Basin and Blighttown)
After that I cleaned the Asylum and Darkroot Basin and now I'm kinda stuck in the swamp beneath Blighttown.
In the Asylum I noticed one thing that completely flew over my head while playing.
Before, I thought knights were just random occasional guys put around to spice things up. But there, I found two of them one after the other and suddenly I realized that they aren't just minibosses but eventually they're going to be common enemies. Oh. Come. On.
Also, the main boss there was a total pain in the ass, because for the first five hundreds or so tries, I didn't understand the actual radius of its AOE attack (the fire wave fart or something) and everytime it oneshotted me in a couple of seconds into the fight. Once noticed that you have to be behind him but kinda far away from him to avoid it, it was easy peasy.
In Darkroot Basin I killed the hydra (falling in the... uh... ledge in the middle of the lake, like ten thousands times) and the golden golem guy in the back of the lake. All standard job for me at this point.
Cool surprise: inside the golem there was a cute gal. She totally seems into me, I'm gonna ask her out one of these days.
And finally, full with antipoison and antitoxin moss, I decided it was time to try again Blighttown.
On my way to the bonfire, I died like ten times between falling off the floors and being intoxicated by fucking invisible darts. Also, the first time I got intoxicated, I don't know why the blooming moss didn't work at all, I panicked and I fell off somewhere, so it counts as double combo death.
Now I found my way down to the swamp, between spiders and mosquitoes. Easy enemies, except once when I got attacked by 2 spiders and 2 mosquitoes and I didn't have time to switch between the halberd and the bow, so I got poisoned and I managed to save myself with just one tick of life left.
Finally, I tried to cross the mud and I found out it's fucking poisonous. Holy shit, DS, will you ever stop to fuck with me?

Yeah, I'm loving this.
To be fair, a lot of these are just in Window's Performance Options
They aren't. You can disable thumbnails easily, lists with registry edits, and tooltips I couldn't find.
I've used Performance options to disable fading right click menus because they have a tendency to get stuck all the time and require a resolution change to get rid of, but the options I needed are not there.

This (and the slowdowns) sounds more like a problem on your end, never had something like that.
It isn't. Happens on multiple computers.
default:
list:
tooltip:
There are dozens of google results for people wanting to get rid of these. The common answer is if you use Aero, you can't. Just wanted to share a program I found that allows it easily while still keeping Aero. Even if you don't get the slowdown (which I've seen on many PCs and support sites) this is still useful.

I think you're talking about the Thief set, but in Blighttown itself I found the Shadow set, that seems to be more poison (and bleed) resistant.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yes, but I said:
So, while you can of course personally enjoy something immensely, that's not something that can be chalked up as a reason something is inherently good. We don't accept "Morningbus hates this" as a fault of the game, so we can't accept the opposite.
Argumentum ad populum. Regardless, I would make the argument that Serious Sam is rated so highly because many people are lured in and blinded by its promise of "retro" gameplay. Revelations 2012 is actually a very, very similar game to Serious Sam, but lacks the lineage and marketing and is routinely the butt of jokes from people all across the internet. As an aside, I actually preferred my time with Revelations 2012 over Serious Sam 3.
Of course subjective, but no other engine and game gets as much of a free pass as Serious Sam. Character models are hideous, everything looks wet, and even if you change the colors over to vibrant the environments look washed out (which is exacerbated by the fact that the vast majority of the levels look identical).
Because I always like to experience games how they were first made, as vanilla as possible. On subsequent playthroughs I may use mods (though I rarely do so, if ever) or, in this case, play the remastered/upgraded version, but not on my first time. Provided I own the original version, of course.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Wait what's wrong with SS2, it always looked awesome in the trailers and reviews? Can't be anything worse than Serious Sam The Next Encounter on PS2/GC.
I don't know if that's the same problem I have, but from time to time the last icon I hovered with the mouse cursor gets highlighted eternally, and won't fade. It can be fixed by logging off and back in, but it's very annoying.It isn't. Happens on multiple computers.

3 beers
One of the best "drink, but don't overdo it, kids" campaigns I've seen.
One beer is fun, two is okay, three? Nope.

I won! Thank you so much chubigans!
Like desktop icon and the highlight square around it?
The right click menu getting stuck is a case of windows doing some fancy fade out after you select the option you want and the fade doesn't cause it to completely disappear. Turning off the fade completely, fixes it.

Fuck it, just bought CoJ: Gunslinger. Someone please steal my credit card :/
Nope, the taskbar icons. I don't even need to right click for that to happen, the icons get "selected" by simply hovering the mouse over them.

I don't know why, having never actually played all the way through either Assassin's Creed 1 or 2, but I kinda want to buy AC3.
Judging by the size of those beer bottles, he is living in one.

I remember saving up for a month working a shitty job selling car stereo at Ultimate Electronics just to buy a 128mb Radeon 9800 pro so I could run the original Half Life 2
