Just contact EA support to have them manually add ME to your origin account. Take a screencap of ME inur Steam games list. They added it for me

yeah, I've added all my retail and Steam games to Origin. EA support is pretty great.

didn't know Origin has ME DLC, though. thought it was a console only thing like Capcom's shitmove with RE5.

I don't know how anyone could dislike or discard PB Winterbottom. In addition to the unique aesthetics and gameplay the music is just amazing. I rarely go out of my way to find music used in games, but PB made me want to. PB Winterbottom also has the distinction of being the greatest game, for the lowest price, ever offered on Steam and I doubt it's going to be challenged anytime soon.

Warband is the best. F&S was phoned in.

Finished ME, so so good. I already thought it was the best 3D platformer, now I think it's better.

It took less than three hours including playing with settings and a couple of time trails. That is one short ass game.

If you only buy one, go with Warband.

Warband added new factions, multiplayer, and more stuff to do. All WF&S adds are firearms, a historical setting, and faction storylines, most of its other improvements are already included in mods available for Warband.

*chuckle* I remember when I bought Warband last year on sale for $10 (Still don't regret it, worth every penny), now it looks like people can get the whole series for two bucks more.

I dont seem to be having any issues with Physx on Mirror's Edge. Didnt have to erase any files and they're on and i think they're working fine? was there a framerate issue involved? not getting any of that.

Too bad i can barely play the damn thing because i wanna take screenshots all the freaking time

I just bought I spare copy, I'm sort of over the Steamgifts thing and would just rather help out people in the actual Steamthread and those who have helped me than people only trying to get free stuff. So I'm going to start giving back to SteamGAF.

PM me your SteamID or email and I'll gift you the game :)

I'm planning to get a gaming PC in a couple of months. If I buy Mirror's Edge, will I be able to buy it on my Macbook Pro?
Basically, what will happen when I buy it?

You can purchase it and it will be added to your steam library, you just won't be able to play it on the OSX side.

How is the MP community for M&B anyways?
Click to expand...

Mount and Musket and CRPG have tight communities. People are always playing both. Native is eh, and the rest of the multiplayer community is spread amongst the other mods.

Me you mean?

The game was crashing on boot, I never even got a splash screen. Once I fixed it, I turned PhsyX off anyway. My PC isn't a beast as it is. It did run flawlessly, everything on highest except AA (which I left on 16x). I don't know if PhysX would have hurt it that badly, but I also don't think it adds a whole lot, maybe I'm mistaken.

One thing I hate though, not being able to get keyboard icons is bullshit. Maybe if I took out my 360 pad it'd work, that's what happens in Metro, but it's insane to me that it's not a menu option.

Quick question: it's not a big deal, but you know how in Windows 7, on the taskbar, Steam will show its percentage completion of downloads as a green bar filling it up? Mine has been stuck on somewhere around 60% for weeks now. It isn't downloading anything, or updating anything, so far as I can tell. An update didn't fix it. Does anyone have any idea to wipe out the bar? It's really annoying.

Maybe if you switch to a classic theme and back to Aero it'll fix it?

Check all you games in the list, and see if any of them are yellow. Try to fiddle with it to get it to update completely (Being yellow means it should be updating), if that doesn't work, delete it and reinstall.

143 hours in and five leaders left to beat Civ 5's single player campaign with, then I'll have completed the game with every civ (that there's currently an achievement for) on every size and map type. Leaving Immortal and Deity difficulty runs as the last things to complete before moving on to the scenarios.

This game is eating me alive.

Go to you Library and then check under Media and Tools. It's probably something in there that's trying to update. I had that happen to me before too.
