I had done random google searches before, for mods for Deus Ex but came up with nothing. Other games I'd be interested in finding graphics mods for are stuff like KOTOR and Max Payne, and the original Prince of Persia games.

I know mod.db exists but is there another centralized place that I can use to find ways to fuck with games?

Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/ is a good place for info on getting old games to run in widescreen. There should be KOTOR instructions there.

If you mean the mod, maybe he means Diablohead's work.

If you mean the official thread...apparently it really does not exist. How odd. There's even a Dirt 1 official thread. :lol

There's no mod until he creates a new one.

Idk, but I have been purchasing way too many of these and it always feels good because I'm like shiiit Steam Cloud/Achievements/Leaderboards? How can I say no?

Fucking hell, RUSH looks great. Definitely going to buy... What's it priced at? I hope it's not 10 bucks for some 3-5 hour game.

The trailer says $4.99/€4.49, and I have the game on Wiiware, if this game is anything like that it will probably take you more than 5 hours unless you use a walkthrough or are a genius.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

If the game is good, it's good. Ten bucks for 3-5 hours is a pretty fucking good deal if it's the kind of game you know you like.

I don't buy that many new games, either, because my backlog is huge. Probably bigger than yours. I feel safe in saying that because it is huge. But when I saw Super Meat Boy finally on Steam I bought it in an instant, and would have bought it even without the preorder discount. Basically, what SapientWolf said above.

Because I realize this post makes me sound like I think I'm better than all of you, I'm going to make a point of saying that I am better than all of you. F yeah.

You're kinda missing the point, we can afford to quibble over $5 - $10 for amazingly good games because there are so many out there. The whole relation between the dollar value of the game and the quality of the game becomes irrelevant when the limiting factor is the time you have to spend playing them. Since there is so much quality out there for such a low price, we have the option of passing up on ridiculously good deals because we won't lose anything doing so, since we don't have the time to play them, or by the time we do, the price will be even lower.

It's not cheapness, it's just that PC developers and Steam have created an amazingly favorable market for me as a PC gaming enthusiast.

I think part of it is that a lot of these indie games only come out on Steam, bigger games are also in retail stores, and they don't like Steamworks stuff.

Depends on how much games you play I guess. I play pretty much anything that's any good and I'm fairly caught up on my backlog, so I'm aways looking forward to new games.

If you have a huge backlog or don't game that much you might as well wait.

I visualized your post as that frog in your avatar saying "hear hear" in sort of a snooty froogy type of voice. He then sips his tea out of a tiny tea cup and adjusts his monocle.

I need to print this shit out and stick it on my monitor. Maybe use it as my iPhone background as well. Great games are so cheap nowadays that I already think my backlog is insurmountable. I've promised myself I won't buy anything until the Xmas sale now. We'll see.

My backlog isn't nearly the size as the worst offenders here, but my problem tends to be that I jump from game to game so often.

I mean I'm having fun which is what it's all about, but I'd like to complete a game every now and then. :lol

I just beat Shatter which is something I suppose.

You're completely missing the point.

My issue is not with taking advantage of sales. It is with people being fucking stupid.

And, yes, it is cheapness sometimes.

Look, even the wealthiest/most financially irresponsible of us make budgeting decisions. That's not ultimately the point of anyone complaining about some of you being ridiculously cheap.

If you want to play a game, determine how much that experience should cost and don't pay a dollar above that. Super Meat Boy, for example, is worth the 15 dollar asking price. So when I saw it for $10, I jumped at it. I got the thing I want for less than I was willing to pay. This isn't being cheap; this is being thrifty.

Now, if I said: Yeah, I'd love Super Meat Boy, but I'll wait until it's a dollar. That's me being cheap. Your backlog is irrelevant at this point because you've set an amount of money you are willing to pay to play the game and it is absurdly low.

Edit: Sup Twig.

Sales are awesome. They convince me to buy games I would never have bought otherwise. They convince me to buy random multiplayer games that will *maybe* last us a week. However, when people act say shit like "I really want this game" and then follow it up with "but I am going to wait for an even better sale" or shit like "I have been waiting two years for this sale to happen, do it already!" it irritates the shit out of me.

Get over it. Seriously.

I've spent a bunch of money on games, have tons to play, but would like to buy certain games for certain reasons at a certain price. I have no need to play them now. I can wait.

I find your constant bitching about it irritating. Here's my post telling you that.

I just went through my steam list uninstalling all the games I know I'll never touch again. It's a melancholy act, admitting defeat.

The steam sales bring out the poor decision making in all of us. Certain purchases must never be spoken of on the gaf.

I don't see how. There's games I really want but like I said, I have plenty else to play and I can wait. For a sale. Because why spend $20 now when I can spend $10 later and play the same damn game?

Mind you I still buy full price games for things I must absolutely play now, but there are very few of those games.

and I bought Bloodlines at retail but I'm still waiting on a DD sale. :p
