Alright, I'm going to try to get this going. I'm putting together a 4 pack of Renegade Ops with the hope it will be out soon (tomorrow?). Please let me know if you're interested, the discount for doing a 4 pack is absurd as it's a 50% sale essentially.

Full up.


Unfortunately since I get dinged for fees by PayPal, it will be $8.03 per person that joins up. Unless someone that doesn't get charged fees wants to host, which I would gladly encourage.

Moved to Japan just recently, and now steam won't accept my credit card.

Same thing happened when I moved to Taiwan. You need to open a support ticket mentioning this.

Than when they decide to answer you they will (well most likely) say they blocked due to ip location and have unlocked your ip, but you have to buy through the link they gave you - through the webage.

Also Mirror's Edge..why didn't I get this sooner!!!!

Steam-gaf how do I get my mic to work? I have it set as my default audio device in the control panel. The headset itself is working fine, I just can't get the microphone to work. I went onto Steam's voice setting and set the mic/receive volume to max and checked the "automatically transmit my voice whenever I speak" option. When I click the "test microphone" button nothing happens. If it helps, this is my headset. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-PlayStation-Headset-Powered-3/dp/B004GCRJRK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1316489555&sr=8-2


If this is Vista/W7 disable all the other recording devices in that control panel area but the headset...try it.

I accept no responsibility for whatever might happen because of this, BUT, when I moved to Turkey and had the same problem, I just changed my billing address in steam so that the country was Turkey, leaving everything else the same. Worked a charm, never had a problem because of it!

I did exactly this in Japan and used steam for a year, no problem.

So, has anybody here played Dark Void ?

For some strange reason I feel compelled to buy it, yet I know nothing about it other than it was published by Capcom and developed by some western studio.

So tell me about Dark Void.

I've only played the demo and it's all right. It's half third-person shooter and half arcade flying game, and you play as the Rocketeer. I couldn't get used to the flying controls though.

I see why people were so awestruck by Mirrors Edge PC, it's quite something at max settings. Not sure why they turn PhysX on by default though, it was killing my performance.

It was a little annoying to have to set my resolution manually too. Kept getting a black screen until I twigged. Ten seconds of Googling later and the TDEngine.ini gave up it's secrets and all was well.

I still hate the game though, gorgeous or not. It was worth the £3.75 to remember just how much I hate it.

Edit: As for Dark Void, I'd rather play Mirrors Edge for the next 6 months than play another minute of Dark Void. Horrible game.

It had some pretty cool mechanics and some decent looking set pieces. Wait for a 10$ sale or lower though as it is a bit rough in other areas.

I bought Mirror's Edge at launch and don't regret it one bit, amazing game, I can see why it might be an acquired taste, but is not like the game was deceiving in its advertising, personally I think I got exactly what I was looking for.

Oh yeah, I wasn't misled in any way. I just didn't realise how little fun I'd have trying to figure the correct route through the levels and how much I'd dislike the 'combat'. I always feel like I'm lost and pressing the 'B' button doesn't help as much as it should. Add to that a number of jumps where I feel like I hit the drainpipe, only to watch the drainpipe rushing past me as I plummet to the ground. That bugs me. I can't make the buttons feel natural either, if I'm rushed or being shot at I can sometimes press three different buttons before I remember that jump is LB.

Basically it's me, not the game that is at fault. That's why I didn't say anything too negative above. It looks fucking great, I know that much.

I'm in. Got work now though so I'll be out for the next 8 or so hours.

I've had Mirror's Edge forever and finally got around to playing it the other day. Yeah, definitely drop dead gorgeous. Think I'm going to stop, though, because it seems like it'd be mind-blowing to play in 3D with Sony's HMZ-T1. Without any crosstalk issues that normally plague it in 3D, I'm gonna put it back in the que till then.

I got in on the Magicka sale yesterday for 6.50 and am very surprised by how much I like this game. I heard some iffy things about it but Im finding it very enjoyable for the most part. Its a bit much sometimes when you try to remember spell combos but that kinda adds to the hilarity. I do tend to stick to 3-4 spell combos all the time but switching it up seems to really help...especially when those weather changing wizard things start screwing with you.

Fun game.

Cant wait for Renegade Ops too.

Anyone tried out Demolition, Inc.? Thinking about it after the Wot I Think. That and/or Rock of Ages.


Rock of Ages is an hour of gameplay, it's a fun hour but it is still an hour. Demolition Inc is longer, but it can be random and frustrating. I posted a few videos on youtube, but I am at work so I cant link it.

Says 5 hours on my Steam profile. That includes completing the main campaign, getting some keys (but not all), and a couple of multiplayer matches. So it's definitely more than one hour worth of gameplay.

So, should we expect Max Payne as the Midweek Deal? With MP3 trailer being shown last week and all...

How often do those games even go on sale?

Not sure why its taking you guys so long to complete Rock of Ages, I did the campaign, got most of keys and it wasnt very long. Not saying its a bad game, it's just short. Are you guys losing? Pulling a Ryan Davis?

I think three times already this year. I got them in that Rockstar Week a while back.

EA ? Activision ?

Also, ID falls under Bethesda, no?

Didn't they mention going after Skyrim and Rage earlier ? Bethesda seems like the best bet.
