I know man, I was looking at the new Nordic C and D bundles for Red Faction...
C is Red Faction 1 & 2, D is Guerilla and Armageddon + DLC.
Maybe the next weekly bundle?

b-b-b-ut it's a free to play game.
Meh. Waiting for 95% off. 50% is too high for my special Gaben standards.

Speaking about Red Faction... What will happen with Red Faction Guerilla GFWL?

listen to the mad man
No updates yet. Nordic Games owns the franchise and is solvent, which bodes well, but they also don't really have much in the way of development resources to be able to support stuff, which bodes poorly.

I have no idea, but that game is one of the next on my backlog list. All of my GFWL games are, btw.

Anyone play the Chivalry Deadliest Warrior beta? If so any impressions?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Nordic owns Red Faction but Deep Silver own Volition. Whether or not Nordic has anyone that can even get into RF's code to remove it is questionable.
As Stump said, there's been no official comment, but there is this, for what it's worth:
A while ago (like maybe month or two) I emailed Nordic to ask about their support plans for the former THQ games, and kind of snuck in a question about Red Faction Guerrilla and GfWL.
I didn't even expect an answer at all, but got a very polite "no comment at this time" answer.
"No comment" tends to be PR-speak for "We're working on it but can't discuss the matter at this time", so with any luck, things are in motion.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Looks like Indie Gala October added 2 new games:
- Darkest Hour: A Hearts of Iron Game (Steam)
- Roaming Fortress (Desura)

Well it's just a matter of time, I hope they really work on patching that game.... if we're lucky!
Thanks for your replies guys
Sorry for the late reply fellow GAFfer. I think it is a SATA then, I have one of those red cable and a 4 pin Connector, yay, I might be safe on one component. Correct?
Bought because licences. I also picked up Deadly Premonition. $26 all up.
Thin red cable sounds like SATA indeed.
Wow, thanks for the info. <3
edit: They can let OFP:RR die as far as I care, but not Dirt 2!!
I'm about to play Batman Arkham Asylum for the first time ever. What difficulty setting do you recommend to start with? I want something that won't be a walk in the park but also won't make me want to kill kittens in frustration.
By the way, where can I find the graphics settings to change texture quality? I don't remember seeing that option on the launcher or the in-game options menu.

Normal or Hard is fine. The challenge rooms are the only place you really need to master the game and those are separate.
If it's cont a connector about 10mm in length and slightly shaped like and L then yes that's a SATA connector. IDE connectors are super old and are about 50mm in length and have 40 pins so they're quite easy to tell apart. Hang on I'll get pics.
Edit: Here you go:-
IDE on the left SATA on the right.
Go with hard difficulty. I played it on hard on my first time playing and there were no frustrating parts. The biggest difference is that on hard you don't get the counter icons above enemies' heads.
...That thin red cable says SATA. I guess that answer my own question, right? I need more coffee or more sleep. Thank you both for the help, sorry for the bit of off topic, I'm really off when it comes to stuff like this.
EDIT: Dr Dogg, I think I have both of them...? The one on the left was also connected to one hard drive and to the motherboard.
Sniper Elite Nazi Zombie 2....seriously? I can not help think that is a bit of a joke, should be DLC IMO

The first Nazi Zombie Army became profitable the day it came out. People want them some Nazi Zombies.

Hmm, I wonder what will happen with Dark Souls. Dead multiplayer?
its £7.99 whats the difference between that and dlc price.

Why not? Rebellion decided that out of all their garbage, that sold good. Why not throw a new version together quickly to maximize funding for more bad games from them?
I don't like Rebellion.
If GFWL isn't patched out, the MP will be non-functional, yes.
"Buy Dark Souls II. Please understand."
It seems to be for everyone in the Steam Group.
Hahaha sounds like you got an old motherboard like mine.
Most motherboards in the last 10 years have around 4 SATA sockets or more. That's plenty for a middle of the road PC. IDE has been dead for a very, very long time now.
What you exactly trying to do Monk? Sounds like your doing my old hobby of frankensteining old computer parts together.

But you won't be able to play the main campaign?
Why not? Offline mode will still be available. I think you can even earn achievements on an offline GFWL profile.
I actually don't have a motherboard and the rest of the components. I'm saving & starting all over for a simple/humble PC after unexpected bills. I had this DVD Drive with that thing red cable attached to it and the other cable too stored for some time but I remember that it used to be connected to the hard drive. I want to keep everything I can, I also have my 2005 Creative 2.1 speakers still alive after 8 years, one case and I'm trying to get one of those CRT or old TFT Monitors.

Do we know if GFWL will be removed from the Dawn of War games too?
This is everything we know so far. If its not here, we don't know about it.

Ah right. You'll be golden then. Everything is SATA these days. So if you get an SSD, new hard drive or even a Bluray it will be the red one. Regards to CRT monitors you'll find that 99% only have VGA connections, as in the blue plug you screw in but you can get DVI to VGA adapters. Try and find a 100hz CRT if you can (I don't think you'll find 120hz one here in europe) though a working good example might be hard to find and a bit pricey.
Speaking of awards, it seems there'll be a sale on BAFTA-nominated games in the near future. Among the included games is A Machine for Pigs.
Edit: Additions seem to be sporadic so I assume more titles will be added as time goes on. It's also possible that the sub is for BAFTA judges rather than one intended for the store.

Ohh I didn't knew that. Thx
I just remembered, aren't the Dirt games also using GFWL?
SSD's are still expensive to me, but I'm trying to see what my local store can do to reduce the cost of parts the best way possible. Bluray is also something to avoid for the same reasons and for the Monitor it will be from a friend who might get one from a closed insurance company (thank you, harsh economy!) so I'm expecting something really old, big and white/yellow-ish.
Shit. I totally forgot about the DoWII games. I need to finish the chaos expansion.
Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 do.
