So Dino D-Day... Everything about this game and the whole existence of this game is baffling and mind-insulting

troll-2-oh-my-gooood-o.gif


..worse yet, I said to myself I need to last one full match, and that was a longass match indeed. Though it seems I was a natural talent, 31/19 as I'm normally like 2/9 in CS.

I assume you all know about the free Fallout 1&2 on gog.com, can I redeem them on steam in any way?

Actually, no, I didn't know. Thanks for the heads-up! More importantly, it's Fallout 1, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. I already own 1 and 2 on GOG, but I don't (well, didn't) own Tactics, so this was a nice excuse to fill that hole in my library.

Did the latest Beta client update kill Flash playback for anyone else? Reverting to normal client now to test.

EDIT: Nope, it's broken on the normal client as well. Some videos still work, though.

EDIT2: Oddly enough, if you can click on the "Watch in YouTube" button quickly enough, the in-client browser shows the video just fine! Something is up.

Why does Steam keep giving me Killing Floor guest passes? I started Steam up and I had two, someone gave me the game as a gift from Humble Bundle and so I got two more guest passes.

I gave away the guest passes I had to random people, it just gave me two more. Why? I haven't even played the game myself yet.

Just noticed this on the GOG Fallout giveaway page:

Please note that all three classic Fallout titles are pending right holder change. Sadly, to the best of our knowledge, we'll be forced to remove Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics from our offer. That doesn't mean, however, that you won't be able to download them if they are already a part of collection by then. Secure your copies today (or anytime before Saturday, December 14, at 1:59PM GMT)!

Rights holder change? They're removing them from the GOG shop? Wonder if that means they'll be delisted on Steam, too?

Heya folks, my game, Cook, Serve, Delicious! is now undergoing a short beta with brand new Steam Leaderboard challenges. Woo!

It would be awesome for those who have the game to opt-in so I can see how the leaderboard calls/API is working.

Here's more info: http://steamcommunity.com/games/247020/announcements/detail/1747692606535315956

I plan on giving away a few more copies of the game but I know NPDs are about to shut down the forum, so I'll do it later tonight. :D

Random educational PC gaming post:

A driver level feature that is often overlooked and completely forgotten is Nvidia's forcible Ambient Occlusion. While pretty common in modern games it is a really neat thing to add in to random older games that they supported with it, while not looking overly high-tech and absurd against older graphics. The concept is the same as forcing anti-aliasing. Check the list in Nvidia Inspector to see if the game has a compatibility code or another game from the same engine does. Select the code and then check off the the force AO option and select the quality level.

I was messing around with Fallout: New Vegas this afternoon while preparing for my final achievement run and I snapped a couple comparison pictures. I recommend opening them up in separate tabs and flipping between the two to best observe the subtle, yet depth adding effect.

Example 1, Building Interior:
Ambient Occlusion ON
Ambient Occlusion OFF

Example 2, Building Exterior:
Ambient Occlusion ON
Ambient Occlusion OFF

I tend to forget about this feature and I'm pretty sure most people buying Nvidia cards don't even know it exists. So hopefully someone finds this useful or enlightening.

Neat, I didn't know AO was something that could be forced.

*shrud*, trying to shake off my memories from that game that shouldn't mentioned. I installed it already but can feel my rig aching from the dirt stain it left.

Not sure what game I should launch next, I'm downloading Alan Wake now from my library but not sure whether I'll give it a go yet.

Anybody interested in going in on a Starbound 4-pack?

I've been really interested in getting it, figured i'd see if anyone is interested in saving a few bucks.

I can't even get through checkout to "secure" the games since the site is so bogged down. Been trying all day.

Edit: Nevemind! finally worked. Been wanting these for a long time :) I remember when the first Fallout came out and seeing it at Best Buy
