I wonder if I can resist my urges to buy Theif.
I played it over the summer at work and I really, really liked it. I have to talk myself down.

That's really awful news.
Good luck with the job search. Is your workplace having numerous layoffs?

Do they sell the first two Thief games too?

Ah.
Hey SalsaShark, sorry about the loss of steam funding, I'd give you my leftover Serious Sam 1 HD code, but I see you have it already :/

Worth it x100 and one of THE BEST levels in any video game.
Don't forget to clean up your own mess after you play it

It runs quite well if you ask me, and I think there are some texture packs available you can install. There are some issues with resolution if I recall correctly.
The game runs quite good otherwise.

Outdated info because laptops in the good ol' days didn't support 1.1 pixel shaders.
Here's a demo if it will ease your mind.

if you're anything like me then say goodbye to the next 3 hours each time you start it up
Typical scenario in my flat:Frankenstrat said:
"Hm... think I might fire up JC2 for a few mins, blow some shit up."
Looks at watch... 5 hours later.
"Shit! Oh well, just another minute or two then..."
Another hour later.
"Fuck"
Haven't played it for a while, might get back into it tonight for a bit. Such a sexy game.

Deadly shadows suffered in the same way Invisible War did. Piss poor amounts of RAM in the original Xbox means the levels are all tiny or broken into a half-dozen pieces. Still good, though. I had to do a little bit of wankery to get it to run properly without crashing between missions. One of the widescreen mod tools has functionality to fix it, I believe. Not super hard to get around, but be advised.
I got Just Cause 2 with my GTX460 last year and I was pretty impressed by the visuals. It must do some black magic with its engine or I was just that seriously behind on the times in graphics card muscle. Draw distance like woah. Fun game, too. Enjoy it, everybody.
Also, sorry to hear about the canning, Salsa. What kind of horrible human have you been to deserve such karma?

Same thing happened to me but after a few minutes the hat appeared in TF2. Game still won't start, though.
hey dudes, thanks for caring
it really isnt THAT big of a deal or otherwise i wouldnt make a joke about it. It was a shitty job, but it definetly came in handy. Thankfully its my last year at film school so ill just have to work something out to pay for these last upcoming months (can always get a loan or help from family). Other than that it was just money to blow (on Steam, for example, heh). Nothing that will seriously affect my living in any harsh way or anything.
I was also looking into upgrading my PC for the upcoming beasts but i guess that's gone now, shiet
Starting job search tomorrow i guess!
alright done with that crap

College student, huh? Well you can always do what the rest of us did and sell bodily fluids. It's not like you're using them.SalsaShark said:hey dudes, thanks for caring

gotee12 said:Yeah the hat's showed up for me now as well. Magicka still isn't starting. It's cool though, just downloaded another 500 tracks for Trackmania. That'll tide me over... for a little while...
Whats the best way to find and download tracks for the game. I went through the online portion in the game but it seems very confusing.
I googled around a bit and found this map pack (only stadium tracks). It's legit. It self installs to your ..\My documents\trackmania\tracks\challenges\downloaded folder. Once installed start up TM, click Solo Play and click the Browse button at the bottom left.Hanzou said:

First weekend I had it, I sunk around 16 hours into the game. that's over the course of saturday and sunday. Needless to say I stayed away from it for a while after that.
Sorry to hear that, Salsa. Here's hoping your next job comes quickly and is awesome man.
4 hours later and yeah, I agree. lol. I'm actually coming into the game with no demo time, so everything is new to me.
It doesn't hurt that the game is gorgeous imo. I have to force myself to lay off the F12 a bit.

No, man, they said HE gets the fluids out. I don't think he's looking for that kind of work...unless the price is right. Send me a PM and we'll work something out for you two.

Might pick up Thief for $5.
Always room for a good stealth game.

Yep and I picked up some of those as well.
I have already pretty much played all them though. Never played Thief.

Orellio said:Heh, fair enough. I'm just surprised so many people are all about this Thief game. It's been on Steam forever and from what I gather it's not quite as good as the first 2 games in the series. Shame those aren't also on Steam. Anyway carry on, don't mind me
Well I've never played anything from the Thief series and can't go too wrong for $5

It's got some fillrate issues with the shadows. That gets really annoying on newer ATI cards (relative to the release of the game). At least on my HD5770. There are sections in there where the framerate drops to like 2 Hertz, it's kinda crazy.purg3 said:
Regardless, the game is so awesome that this is something you should be able to look back on and say "Regardless, the game is so awesome that this is something you should be able to look back on and say 'Regardless, the game is so awesome that this is something you should be able to look back on and say >Regardless, the game is so awesome that this is something you should be able to look back on and say nothing and smile.<'"
