Hm, maybe I'll give that one another shot. I have a ton of other games I think I'll try to finish before going back to DNF though.

Duke Nukem Forever is like a museum of sadness. You can almost literally point out the year a section of the game was developed in based off of the gameplay being emulated or horribly dated pop culture references are being made.
I made it to the fifth facility/level/first checkpoint before almost instantly dying when I set foot in it. I got too many shit rolls on random weapons and items drops and eventually stopped playing the game. The rogue-like aspects (semi-randomised levels, random item and mob placement) are kind of unfair and frustrating, they wore me down after several hours. I really liked the game quite a bit at first, I think the crafting system is neat (you're cobbling together these improvised explosives, primitive weapons and armor: nail can bombs, one-shot bazookas, nailgun, etc.) and Teleglitch, despite looking fairly primitive, has a lot of atmosphere to it. I think the game could've worked without those rogue-like elements, if it was just a brutal top-down Doom clone. Also if it had a soundtrack.
Teleglitch is by no means a bad game, if you're masochistic/dig rogue-likes or games with rogue-like elements to them, you'll probably love Teleglitch.

I want to get into Teleglitch so much, but I just can't. The art style is wonderful at setting an atmosphere and all that from screen shots, but just the way it blurs together and non-dull colours pop just cause my eyes to lose focus so quickly that I find it impossible to continue for long.
The game didn't, the actions of GearBox plus all those failed promises and terrible development does however. Just no excuse for any of that.

So I was finally getting round to listing all my cards in lieu of the coming seal and ran across this:
Standard Call of Juarez - Ray McCall Card
For some reason this card is worth more that 4x all the other standard cards from the game. Might be a group effort to corner the market, doesn't appear to be a single individual, or maybe just a strange quirk of the search engine. Can't complain, possibly worth more than my foil!

Reminds me of the Skyrim Summer Sale foil: while not quite on the same level, it's worth ~30c+ more than the rest for no apparent reason.

Among GamersGate's new Dailies are 75% off Realms of Ancient War ($3.74) and 75% off the Total War: Shogun 2 Collection ($16.24; presumably Aussie Taxed).

Very high. That's why they wanted their stuff on the store in the first place.
I guess that's true. They just seem like such disorganized company that they would not have all their stuff coordinated for a sale, there was no discount for the fall sale but it was fairly close to release. I am really hoping for it to be on sale though as I need more pinball!

You mean, Dungeon of the Endless? You can't move within rooms, your characters position themselves automatically, kinda like in FTL.
Be sure to back up your saves!
Edit: Seeing the Banjo-Tooie RTTP thread made me realise I'd love to see PC ports of the HD Kazooie and Tooie remasters Microsoft released on XBLA. Oh, and a PC port of Nuts & Bolts, too.

Shogun 2 is the same price, is it low enough to bite?

Anyone else thinks the beta steambox is really ugly?
Better than a full tower.

Luckily, the community has fixed most of those things. I can run the game on my second monitor, in windowed mode, and alt-tab out of there just fine. The only time the game still crashes on me is when it has to load a lot of stuff: the Skyrim/Solstheim transition usually locks up for me.
Haven't heard of the sound issue, though. I recall having to set my computer audio to 44100Hz for some reason, because the game kept locking up during loading before that.
It's a mixed blessing that there's such a great community for the game, though, because even though every little problem can get fixed, Beth gets the idea that they don't need to.

It could certainly be worse--like an overdone Alienware case--but I don't really care for it.

I noticed the pattern with cards from a couple of other games that have only recently, with the last month or two, received cards. I wonder if they have introduced a rarity difference between the same level of card not just between standard and foil.

Concrete fix suggestions are appreciated.
The sound issue I seriously tried four different fixes I found in about an hour of googling, all to no avail. I finally gave up and had my wife play it piped into the TV instead.

I've never had any problems running it on my second monitor, so I can't really help you there, except that you can try making your second monitor into your primary monitor or something.
Playing in windowed mode, whenever I want to go from one screen to another, I just open up the steam overlay and move my mouse out, I can go back without any problems. Not sure if doing that allows you to move the screen, though, but you never know.
As for the cart, it happens. :lol It might be your game is running at more than 60 fps, in which case the physics engine starts losing it. If that's the case, make sure to limit it to 60 fps. It happened to me the first time I loaded up my game, Lokir somehow got booted out of the carriage and ended up getting run over.

So simple but so smart
Sweet. I'm looking more forward to the controller than anything else. Now that 300 of them are out in the wild be interesting to hear how they work across multiple types of games.
Got the feeling with the track pad and button layout this will be the go to controller (outside of a dedicated wheel) for racers. Be interesting to see how it holds up with keyboard heavy titles and how well it works with the standard modifier keys (shift, cntr, alt).

Does Deadly Premonition have cloud-saves? I wanna reinstall W 8.1 but not sure if I would lose my save there.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I still can't stop laughing at Geralt. I blame the "bad characters" thread. Someone called him Legolas who joined a glam band.
I had it on for a while but I couldn't stand the framerate drops, and I ended up turning it off.
It looks so good though

Kinda crazy, but Team Fortress 2 is no longer among my friends most played games.
Top Ten:
It's actually the 41st most played game with only 6 hours in the last two weeks.

Probably because you can't idle anymore for items
Interesting, why did they change it now after all these years? And can't you just fake activity somehow?

You played the game correctly.
Glad to hear it, I started the game just today and my hands are already soaked in blood.

Running lean after that reformat
is this skin still super slow

It's still possible, just more annoying and Valve doesn't want anyone to.
I know you all wanted to see JaseC's exact AC4 playtime after those two images... well, ladies and gentlemen, I happily declare that it is 80 hours - significantly less than PriitV's seemingly mad other friend
(the 'no image' game is a developer thing lol)
Interesting to see Sakaguchi is a fan of Crusader Kings 2
