I modded gta 4. Well eflc anyway cos i guess ice doesnt work with vanilla 4. Anyway does ms ban gamertags for trainers and mods? I never thought about that....is it ok to run gfwl mods? My xbl account is very importaant i dont wanna lose it

As long aw the trainers and such arent on the MP side you should be fine.
I've heard of no reports of anyone getting banned for it. Also considering how GFWL is dead in the water now I don't even think MS would care whats going on over there
 
Why is COD: Black Ops 2 such shit? I can't get the game (zombies specifically) to run for more than like 2 minutes before it hard locks and uses like 70% of my CPU. My dad wanted to play and now I'm dealing with Treyarch's damn mess.

Please help me GAF.
You got a dad that plays games? Nice!

Microsoft doesn't give a shit.
 
The DayZ thread is going nuts as the release gets closer. Any Steam DB wizards see any clues that the alpha is imminent?
I feel like such a dope with my experience with DayZ. I got ArmA 2 solely for it, procrastinated on it in typical Steam purchase fashion, and by the time I got around to it the hackers were already prevalent.

Been waiting for the standalone for what feels like ages to get a proper experience.

Any games in the new Humble Weekly worth playing?
Avoid A New Beginning. Seriously. Unless you want the equivalent of a loud guy shouting "WE ARE. DESTROYING THE EN.VIRONME.NT STOP IT. OUR LIFE.ST.YLE IS B.AD" in your ear in stilted, horrible voice acting for the entire length of the game.

Sounds like fun

Did somebody have try out Might and Magic Card game from Ubisoft? It's F2P, I wanna get some impressions before try it out.

I really tried to like it, but it's just so wearisome.
I got through the first chapter and then I couldn't take it any more.
The ham-fisted message and really bad voice acting sapped my will to continue.

Also, the puzzles were needlessly fiddly and convoluted, with other options that would work if you looked at the problem logically not being accepted because the devs just hadn't thought about it. There's no excuse for that these days.

I'm poised to make around $95 from my cards. I could get used to this.

You manually added them all for sale? I envy you: I did like 80 a couple weeks ago and only like half sold. Now I gotta de-list them and update their pricing and zzzzz

Edit: And enhanced steam lowest pricing doesn't work on the Brazilian store so I have to manually check EVERY SINGLE CARD to see what's the price.. it's a nightmare!

No idea, since this is my first time playing it. I went straight for the highest difficulty, like I did with the first one. But here I can't spam quicksaves, so I'm suffering through it. So far, I don't see why it's so hated: it's not bad, just hard.

Hmm, pretty much all I remember from the game is how astoundingly short it is. Shorter than a COD... I was shocked to see the credits roll. Finished in one little sitting. And yeah there is this strange change of vibe from the first one. Not a bad game if memory serves, just, so short.

Jshackles sent me the latest beta for Firefox, but the market price option he mentioned of the Chrome version doesn't seem to be in it. I just searched for "[game name] card" and then priced what I had 1c below the listed starting price. I'll relist what doesn't sell over the next day or two, though the backgrounds/emoticons I've listed at 3c I'll just leave until they eventually sell since going any lower means I don't actually make anything. Thus far, after about 14 hours, I've collected just over $37.

So yes. :D

Half of what you put up for sale will get undercut by somebody else doing the "relis what didn't sold last week" and then you'll have to do it all over again, with an extra step: remove from sale first.

On the other hand, something I put up for 25 cents on October 21 sold today, so yay?

I've already sold more than half of what I've listed. :p

Now if there's anything I dislike in adventure games it's definitely that.

I'm still hoarding my cards in the hopes that Valve comes up with a new card-related event/promotion. Glad I only spent $5 of Steam credit on those summer sale cards.

Im holding onto a bunch of emoticons and backgrounds hoping they offer a crafting system or something.

Even if they do, it'll probably be something crappy like combine 3 emoticons and get 1 random emoticon. Your chances of getting :weed: will be less than winning 1st prize of a lottery considering how many different emoticons there are out now.

Apparently Age 2 HD didn't save my game correctly: attempting to load it just causes a crash. Now I'm going to have to chop down all those trees again. :(
How do you normally price them?

I usually price them at 1c below the listed price, unless there are only a few people selling the item at that point, in which case I'll price mine the same and just wait, but I didn't bother with the extra step this time around since it would've markedly increased the amount of time it took me to list everything.

Considering how crap 95% of emoticons are i'd take the chance honestly.

I will consider this, as I've yet to unload a couple foils at market price.
 
Oh man, at first I didn't really see what was wrong with Uplay, but now I keep getting "Attempting to restore network connection" errors when I try to launch PoP Forgotten Sands . . . (This might not be Uplay specific though) I was playing it just fine earlier, even with offline mode for a bit, but now I get nothin'.

Enhanced Steam says that the steam version has Uplay as well. :/

just discovered that the one of the recent indie gala delivered King Arthur collection, which is different from the king arthur collection now on steam and possibly not existing in the shop (there is no page for my king arthur collection library entry). It seems indiegala delivered some kind of goty edition, which is not even referenced in the shop.

so, if one want all of them for completion, je need to rebuy the base game and the DLC later on …
