Duke Nukem Forever is available for pre-load now.
And yet again I kick myself for not buying that Call of Duty pack last summer. Never again will I pass up a sale I think is a good one because once the publisher figures out it's a good sale, they'll sell it for more later. Although really that's probably just Activision.
I find the fact that CoD4 was released in 2007 and is $15 more egregious.

If you want to play online, you'll probably have to dish out another $15 for those map packs, too.

Pretty sure they're combined, and you'll get kicked if you don't have the map being queued. That's how it is on 360, anyway.

It's as crazy as a Michael Bay film. Complete rollercoaster ride. If you enjoy that kind of game, go for it. I enjoy IW's campaigns quite a bit.Kevin said:

It's good, dumb fun but I didn't like it as much as MW1's campaign. The stories are always over the top, but they went full retard with MW2. But really, who gives a shit about story. My biggest issues were the awful jelly screen when you take damage, and some of the ridiculously hectic firefights. It's basically a total clusterfuck at times.
It's not bad, but it's kinda hard to recommend it @ $20 when it's only about 6 hours long. Do they have Spec Ops in the PC version?

Dungeon Siege 3 was alright, I guess, don't think I'll be buying it any time soon. I just find it so strange that they've put so much emphasis on plot and story for a corridor crawling loot game and structured the multiplayer the way they have.

Frozenbyte collection looks sorta good to me, but I know I'll never play them if I buy them. Don't want to add more to the backlog.
Duke Nukem Forever preloaded is 6,3 GB btw. Which is rather small. I do hope it's not going to be a 5 hour game or something.

Magic finally appeared on my library. I think they fixed the error.
Recommendations for a good headset for Steam? Wireless bluetooth would be preferable, since then I could use it with my PS3.
But the most important bit is that there can't be any echo. I'm getting a terrible 1-sec delay echo (of my voice only) with my current USB headset mike. It's weird, since that mike works perfectly well with other apps like Skype. I'm thinking it's a Steam issue since I've upgraded my motherboard's drivers for the Realtek on-board and Steam is the only app that has a problem with this mike. I've tried all the various settings I can think of in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program and nothing is working to kill the echo.
So any recommendations for a good echo-free mike for use with Steam?

Played some Red Faction Armageddon. Smashed stuff with a wrench. Feels good, man.

Yeah, I'm enjoying Armageddon. Does anyone know how to get the pony that shoots rainbows out of its ass?

So how well does Armageddon run?

You're not the only one it's the top seller on Steam right now!SalsaShark said:
Make sure you give MW2 multiplayer a chance. I bought it last year expecting it to be dire, but really enjoyed it.SalsaShark said:

Played through the tutorial and first real level of Red Faction Armageddon, really diggin' it so far. I have no issues with Red Faction going back to being more of a pure shooter, even if it's the third person variety. I wish that the destruction wasn't purely limited to structures in the environment and that Armageddon had some of RF1's free-form terrain destruction but the Nano-Forge re-construction ability is kind of neat. You can just go crazy blowing things up or smashing things with your hammer and fix what you need after. Fixing things in a fire fight to rebuild cover is interesting too.
It's looking like I should push on through and beat Guerrilla given that I'm completely mystified by the connection the protagonist and antagonist share in Armageddon (
). In Guerrilla I've liberated Parker, Dust, the Badlands and am working my way through Oasis with only the Free-Fire Zone and Eos left. I just tend to find open world games and their generic, repetitive activities kind of tedious. There's been two stand out missions in Dust and the rest are an indistinct blur. I like the timed destruction puzzle guerrilla activities.

A good bit of the campaign shows up in Spec-Ops, as do two highlights from MW1.Cardigan said:

It's a team effort. The problem could be fixed by game developers keeping their files loose in the installation folder instead of packing them up in big solid resource volumes. That way when something changes, Steam can get just the little file that changed instead of the entire archive.K.Jack said:
Or it could be fixed by Valve changing their update method and incorporating a patching engine to inject the differences into the files instead of just redownloading the entirety of every file that changes.

Just found Samorost 2 in my library. Don't think I bought it. Any ideas where it came from?

So, I don't know if I can post this here, but I have two leftover Worms Reloaded passes, if anyone is interested. I'll sell them for $9 (or best offer).

I was hoping that Activision would do a weeklong Steam sale for their games just to get MW1. And here we go. Ha ha.

I'm running the game in DX11.
Anti-aliasing is set to 2xMSAA,
Anistropic Filter is 2x
I have Ambient Occlusion set to High
Shadow detail is medium
Texture detail is high
Motion Blur is enabled
Scene Detail is Normal
Post Processing Detail is set to High
I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 480, 6GB of ram and an i7 quad core 2.8Ghz, I'm bouncing between 40-60fps. Alright bare with me, I haven't really used Fraps much or bothered to take many screenshots before...
I haven't really toyed around with any of the options, aside from setting my resolution, and I haven't tried to run the game in DX9 to see the differences in performance.
