Just wanted to thank again to fellow GAFfer KarmaCow for the kind giveaway even if I didn't get nothing at all.

It's amazing to see kindness in the Community growing every day and getting filled with amazing members. It sure gives you a warm feeling in your heart and makes me very proud to be part of it.

Hopefully got this all right, if it doesn't work I can just gift the game via Steam.

Oh my lord, Dead Space is freaking me the hell out!

I just started it this evening and am taking a break for the sake of my nerves. I hate to think what delights await me when I really get into the game *wibble*.

Woops, my bad.. i have the bad habit of skipping pages when theres too many since my last visit >.>

Understandable :). Hope you didn't think I was being snarky, I wasn't intending to be so apologises if it came off like that. I was merely intending to give you a heads up that scanning the last few pages wouldn't be a wasted effort. Hope you found what you were looking for :).

EDIT - well said Monk :). As ever you are teh awesome. As is karma cow for such a fine giveaway.

In order to make the game longer and to not make me bored of playing it I played one chapter a day, not too long ago. Are you playing with Keyboard or with the controller fellow GAFfer? I played with the 360 Controller 99% of the time minus specific area I was having aiming issues. It's a good game and it's amazing how it can run on weak/poor Hardware.

Just take your time and have fun. I finished it last month despite having finished Dead Space 2 in quite some time.

Yep, game is full of cheap cat scares. You just know that the dead necromorph on the floor is going to spring up the moment you get near but it still scared the bejesus out of me. Even worse when played in the dark with headphones on with Dolby Headphone enabled. I was a jittery, nervous wreck for about a week. Shame 3 took such a nose dive in terms of atmosphere.
 
So.. I'm planning a big giveaway before end of this year. Here's a little warmup until that day comes :)

Oh a necromorphy lying in the hallway...

Better shoot it and see if it's a ambush...

....yup.

Thanks :). I'm playing on a controller given that the game was designed for that I believe. I might switch to kb&m after I've got used to the game mechanics though as the sluggishness in aiming is getting on my tits. I have mouse acceleration set to max in the settings and it just feels so slow :/. That's after it's decided to move given the dead zone. I might turn out to be a convert to kb&m after all :).

Heh, we are cut from the same cloth I fear! I get very affected by atmosphere and cheap tricks even though I understand intellectually what the game or movie is doing. Oh well, better that than being de-sensitised to it I guess :).

Right, I'm off to put the kettle on and then I'm back to it!

Thank you both for the moral support! *wibble*

EDIT:

....yup.

...And stomp him after one shot just to be a little bit extra sure too. Then run to the door and don't look back.

lol I've already been doing that. In fact I've found myself stomping them several times even when I know they're no longer a threat to teach them a lesson for scaring the living crap out of me! :D
 
Is there a way to save custom resolutions so that whenever I upgrade my Nvidia drivers I can easily import them back? Annoying to retype all of that information every few weeks(and sometimes less).

Nice, let me know you well you are adapting to it. The section I had to put down the 360 Controller and just shoot with the mouse was for something that did not involved "enemies" but it could kill you. I won't give spoilers since I want you to take your time and enjoy the game as you keep progressing on it.

Um, I bought Arkham Origins on GreenManGaming using the 25% off coupon, but my email doesn't have any sort of activation key, at least not that I can see. Anyone else have this problem? Am I missing something?

Read the email. Probably says you won't get a key until just before release.
 
Thanks for the game Camel Master!!

Monaco is a great game with excellent music. If you want to maximize fun play with 4 people. Playing alone can get hard.

And every time I wised up to that one would jump out of their monster closets right behind me. Still it's no Amnesia in terms of "shitting you up" factor.

I think deep down we all like to be scared. I think there's many couples young and old that can testify that a horror flick or 2 has encouraged a blossoming relationship.
