Does Trackmania have any controller support? The store page doesn't mention any nor does the manual.
I don't want a driving game that I play with arrow keys.

It was originally Trackmania United, then it became Trackmania United Forever, now it's Trackmania United Forever Star Edition. You automatically get updated if you ever bought any version of it.

Can't believe Trackmania actually went on sale. That was what I was hoping for!
It's as good as bought.

SHAME SHAME SHAME.
I bought Trackmania, having spent a considerable amount of time with the free version. Is there some sort of resource on how to play it? I'm watching the Erebus video and there's no way in hell that's all down to luck, and I've failed many, many times on certain tracks - the next area to 'reach' looks so impossible without knowing the particulars of the physics system. Still hella fun to play though.

That Erebus track is what's called a "Press Forward" track. It's a very popular style of track making that mostly showcases the track creator's skills and creativity. They're called press forward because all the user needs to do is just that. Press Forward. It's a big roller coaster.
Normal racing tracks don't really need any resource on how to play, it's mostly just getting used to the different environments handling. The game is very straight forward.
The best resource in the game is the built in ghosts and ladders. You can pick a high ranking ghost, download it, and race alongside it.

The terrible audio compression was, I assume, a side effect of trying to keep the file sizes of the episodes fairly small since they were originally on Gametap. It doesn't get any better until Season 3, when Telltale stopped releasing the Sam & Max titles through Gametap.

I'd love to and used to, but Steam hates me.
Literally, every single time I start up Steam on my only PC, it does the Steam Guard "need a code emailed to you," even after I've done it over and over again for a few weeks. Then, whenever I finally get into Steam, it asks me to do the hardware survey I've already done the first time they asked me a week or so ago. Now it just forgets my CC!
Makes me sad and frustrated.

"I'd rather day one the sequel at full price (it'd be worth it to be there from the beginning) than blow ten bucks on a game I'm going to completely abandon very soon. Or am I making a poor decision here?"
Trackmania 2 isn't replacing Trackmania United. It isn't going to have the same environments (it's actually only going to have one to start with) and you won't be abandoning it very soon, it's not like TM2 is releasing next week or even next month, more like Fall/Winter.

Steam Achievements and leaderboards usually mean a game is gonna be Steamworks. This could be a nice shift for Ubisoft.amrod said:so then i doubt it'll be steamworks

You know, at one point, I had purposely made it a point to keep unclicking the "Save my credit card information" because I wanted to make it slightly more of a chore for me to enter in all my information whenever I wanted to buy a game.
Then, I think I forgot about it one day, or it automatically saved it for me somehow. And ever since then, my passions have become unbound, unbridled and, unchecked. And I am so powerless against it that I can't make myself click another time to cancel the "save my information" box.

Let's all confess our shame for the year. Post how much you've spent on Steam so far in 2011. Just be logged into your Steam account, click on ACCOUNT at the top right corner and view your purchases.
So far I've spent $154.

Yeah that happened, but strangely enough Codemasters *just* signed a publishing deal with THQ which is all about Steamworks so maybe Codemasters will fix their shit too.Exuro said:

Yes, but this is a little different. Ubisoft has released two Steamworks title within the last year, despite having their own "alternative," and Techland's other title in development, Dead Island, is a Steamworks title.

That's a surprise. I always thought that Codemasters has been big enough to publish every title of theirs for a while now.

55,28 on Europa Universalis: Heir to the Throne, Portal 2, and Mount&Blade: With Fire&Sword. Tried to stay away from games that I wasn´t 100% sure of, and as a result I now have a backlog of only 2 games.

Delete any files with the .blob extension from the Steam folder. It's the first thing you should do regarding any Steam-related issues.Volcynika said:I'd love to and used to, but Steam hates me.

If that doesn't fix it, then you start looking it up.

I bought Settlers 7 and it still requires a constant Internet connection, at least for me. I started a new game and unplugged my wireless router and got a pop-up saying I need to be connected to the Internet to continue. Oh well.

How is the feel/handling in TM? What other games is it similar to in that regards?
