nvm i change my answer
This. I tend to prefer to read things about the gaming industry that has already occurred. When it comes to current trends, it's pretty horrible.
Back on subject to Steam, update your newsfeed or something. Tired of seeing the same 5 year old review from Kotaku for Super Street Fighter IV.
Perhaps a bottle of good drink would do the trick to liven up these three gentlemen's dissection of the console.

Thank you for Gish.Enjoy
I'm so determined to 100% Arkham Asylum. I started getting those really rare, less than 1% achievements and I just wanted to keep going. I might use a guide for the Riddler challenges though.
For me, it's Giant Bomb.
It took me forever to clear the ones where you need to hop from one pressure plate to the other. I blame my poor eye/hand coordination :-\

there are lotsa haters though
Whoa. This is probably the best thing I'll read tonight.
The Riddler challenges aren't that bad once you find the maps. The hard part I think is the Challenges.Thank you for Gish.

I. . . didn't even know there were ones with pressure plates. Ah jeez.
IGN only for me.

Isn't GiantBomb loved by gaf?
Personally the only game site I like is siliconera and gamasutra
They have no publisher bullshit, have no players who are HD idiots, and generally tend to get their facts straight.
Thought as much.

Those are in Arkham City. Arkham Asylum is just "find what the Riddler's talking about and take a picture."
Yeah, but fuck 'em.
I suppose the newsfeed could do with a bit of an overhaul.

Phew. I was gonna say, I haven't seen any like that yet. . . I guess I'll just be annoyed by them when I get to City.

What's the deal?

I thought that happened because they had New Vegas hit the 84% Metacritic score instead of the bonus of 85%. What did RPS have to do with that?
Indeed. I basically stopped reading RPS after he decided to make his own personal worldview about gender into some overblown crusading agenda for RPS. I never had a problem with the writers taking a position, I just don't want to have it promoted and defended as if it was some inherently superior moral imperative. I just wanted to read interesting news and opinions about PC games.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Riddler trophies in City are pretty damn fun to hunt. A few can be a real pain in the ass but I really enjoyed grinding them out for the most part.
Whoops. I misread the Asylum part :-\

It's more the fact that people/its fans say they're "different" from the bigger sites when in fact they're pretty much the same and suffer from the same bullshit. They just get more love because "they're former reviewers/staff from bigger sites who quit and formed their own" thus giving them a "heroic" image.
I've not purchased anything from bundlestars yet. But they are UK based, so the payment would be taken primarily in £, unless you specify otherwise (selecting your own currency during payment). I discovered this bank charge last year when buying something from the Amazon.com Winter sale, but my charge was a lot more than 10 cents (£1.25). My solution was to get a credit card that has a 0% exchange rate fee. It's ideal if you spend in other currencies from time to time, and stops you getting a shit exchange rate, or bank fees.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
That's the case. I just blame them more than others because they should have known better.

I don't believe this is true at all but okay.

i tuned in to watch some PS4 gameplay footage and all I got was shitty commentary
My thoughts precisely.
I blame whoever had the stupid idea of attributing bonus based on metacritics scores.
yeah the google wallet transaction was in pounds. i don't remember seeing an option to change it, but i'll try that next time. definitely not worth getting a new card over in my case. thanks
I as well.

Hey, look. Sequence cards.
A "broke the Matrix" riff probably would be appropriate here. In all seriousness, though, I hope you get it resolved soon.
This conversation should probably get its own thread, like maybe "Gaming News Sites -- Review Thread," but meh.
Giant Bomb doesn't give me reason to distrust it. That makes it different from the bigger sites.
And, of course, we'll always good ol' Yahtzee to head up the criticism on ZP.
Pretty much. I think that well written articles/videos are beneficial to the meta discussion of this medium...but what happened to RPS is an example of people taking advocacy too far to the extreme.
I was a big fan of the batman comics as a child so I found the references to obscure characters in that universe quite enjoyable.

It's GFWL.
Wish that the death throes of the U.S.S. GFWL wouldn't be quite so protracted. Capcom still hasn't announced when it's removing it from afflicted games, to my knowledge. Not sure about Dark Souls at the present.

RPS don't give games scores.
Huh. Figured I would have fallen off that list after being gone for two months.

I know that they didn't directly contribute to the metacritic score, just that they were part of the wave of wrong reviews. I think they should have been better than that.
I haven't bought any of those games, so it seems I'll miss out on that game. I wouldn't feel comfortable begging them for a key, especially when I don't deserve it in the first place, because the other bundle the game was featured in didn't have any PC games.
No big deal, though. I'm not interested in the game, and it would have only served to increase my library count.

Made it to Olmec twice tonight in Spelunky using no shortcuts, came close both times to beating him only to screw up in the last second.... So disheartening, I did get the casanova achievement though at least.
I'm starting to get good enough to reliably reach Olmec without using shortcuts but still have a bad run every now and then. It's amazing how you really do get better at Spelunky over time.
