Haha, now I'm having problems with Riddick, same as the other guy with my laptop. Strange, I can run Amnesia excellently (he couldn't run any OpenGL games). Guess I'll try the same fix he did.

Try the demo. It was enough to convince me that I would enjoy the full game.
Yea that's what I just did, it seems like a rpg but with cards, pretty fun but I think I have to go over the tut again to really get the hang of it lol

Oh I forgot to tell you to switch the graphics settings to fixed in the bios, then try manually enabling it.

Can someone tell me how to do this? I can't seem to find that option...

Just started Alpha Protocol, should I start as a Recruit?
Yeah, if you beat it as recruit (which starts you with no points to distribute to skills), you unlock the "veteran" class for subsequent playthroughs. With that class you get 3 points in every class and you can redistribute them or save them for later. It's as close as you will get to a new game plus.

I played some Call of Juarez: The Cartle, beat the first level. This game is fucking ridiculous. My partner is wearing an Obama mask to go burn some Marijuana fields. My dude is spouting Bible quotes sprinkled with unscriptural usage of the word "fuck", it's all just insane, and then I got this chick bitching at me every 2 seconds about not being able to aim.

Yeah, I saw a quicklook and thought the game sucked a lot.

The first level was basically like "run 50 yards, oh shit some bad guys shoot them, run 50 more yards, oh shit some bad guys shoot them..." for 30 minutes. I'm assuming the rest of the game continues on in that fashion.

You're forgetting the visceral high octane car chase shootout that opens the game. Clearly a new paradigm in brutal first person shooter action has been set by COJ:TC.

My backlog is doing pretty good. Beat Crysis 2 yesterday, and Deus Ex today. Of course I started Alpha Protocol today, so that takes up a spot. Leaving a spot open for GOWIII on tuesday. Thinking on starting Civ 5 soon.

I have a sinking feeling that might have been the high point of the game.

Sigh. Still have to beat DE:HR, too. And The Witcher 2.

Don't even want to think about Rage and Skyrim yet ><

I wish I got those download speeds. I have a whopping 300kb/s connection. :qq

I wish it didn't split the speed in half when downloading two at same time. When only one it goes up to 5mb/s almost.

Comcast hates me probably. I go over the "cap" almost every other month. *shakes fist at comcast*

Trying to clean up some space on my PC, quick question re: steam stuff.

Aion is apparently taking up 15 GB in programfiles/steam/steamapps/common

Is it okay to delete it? I haven't had Aion installed in....a long long time.

Edit: If so, is it okay for me to delete the files of games in the common folder that I don't even have installed?

heh, sorry to high jack the thread if people are talking about something, but really need some steam help

basically i'm on a mac, i can log into steam on the website but i can't log into the steam client,

i'm aware i could probably uninstall and reinstall but don't wanna lose all many games, is there any other solution help would be great, thanks
Are you on Leopard? I suspect it might have something to do with the Steam client not being able to render a Steamguard window, which is what happened to me. Also, you never have to uninstall your games to refresh the Steam client back to a clean install. On Windows you just have to delete everything within the Steam folder except for the SteamApps folder and the Steam .exe.

Should be, but see if the game's listed with a proper uninstaller in the Windows control panel first.

550~750KBps here (ADSL; varies depending on the sync speed). It's better than the 2Mbps I was getting while I was living with my mate, plus there's no download limit, which is a rarity among the Australian broadband landscape.

My area will be covered by the NBN soon enough, but I really don't think I could go back to having a monthly usage quota... unless it was, say, 1TB or more.
 
First off, people need to be clear on what they're saying. There's a huge difference between 5Mb/s and 5MB/s, for example. I get 1MB/s, but I'm in the middle of Manitoba in a city with, like, 20k people, so it could be worse.

Slightly off-topic, what is the file you need to delete to fix a bunch of Steam issues? Mine is rather minor, but the Steam icon on the bottom of my taskbar is permanently stuck to show that a file is 2/3 finished downloading, and I'm hoping that I can fix it. Yes, I've restarted steam etc.. I'm hoping to not have to reinstall Steam, if possible.

Unfortunately, this didn't work :(

If I just straight-up uninstall and reinstall Steam, will I lose all of my games and saves? Or do I need to back everything up first?

just move the steamapps folder before you do the uninstall because otherwise you will lose your games (I found this out the hard way >_<)

Fairly certain the steamapps folder is preserved. However you could just rename the current steam installation, install it fresh, copy the steamapps folder over, and should be fine. YOu'll have to reinstall everything but shouldn't have to redownload.


Edit: Well that answers that question.

How do I obtain the codes? I haven't bought stuff from Amazon.

Assuming it's like the rest of the stuff they deal out digitally, they just spit out the code at you as soon as the order goes through. It'll also be listed out in your "Your Games & Software Library" and I'm pretty sure they email it to you for safe measure.

Ah okay. How long will this last?

Is it possible to buy download codes from amazon.com if you live in EU (Sweden)?

edit: answering my own question... no it's not!!

Nope its 17 or 18$

Are you sure? That's the same price as the bundle with all of the games discounted from the same price the bundle would normally cost and if you look at the bundle package info, it has the expansion price with nothing there. I saw that price in the coming soon section also. I think it might be referencing the bundle.

Is Magic 2012's expansion free? There's no price attached to it and it comes out in 5 hours.
It's not 17.99$ since Steam seems to be listing the bundle price. I have no idea how much it costs. Could be free for all I know, but looking at what it has I doubt they'll change more than 5-8$ for it?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
GhostRidah said:
Go to the coming soon tab and the first one is the expansion it costs $30 but sale will bring it to $18

Its probably an error due to the current bundle pricing. Theres no way an expansion would cost 3x as much as the base game

Speaking of -

Hate to have to ask, but would anyone be willing to gift me Magic 2012? My Xbox Live account got hacked and someone bought a shitton of Xbox Live points under my account, so I don't really want to spend too much money until those charges get reversed (Poor college student and all). I'll gift whoever does it back any $5 game of their choice in a couple days/whenever they see a game on sale they want or something.

The graphics remind me of Sega's Virtua Cop

PM me your e-mail address (I don't have Steam on my laptop). Best be quick about it, too. :p

Edit: Oh, you can save gifts for later. That's handy!

Edit 2: I also do have Steam on my laptop.
