Totally. I benchmarked Batman AA with physx on with my Radeon 5770. The framerate dropped to single digits during the smoke and the library area, but it looked so nifty! The paper was actually separate pieces floating around instead of just a texture and they actually interacted with objects instead of going through them.

Okay I admit it I am ashamed I picked up the PS3 version now when I could have had this.

But I doubt my GPU would be able to handle that.

PhysX on Batman:AA was pretty awesome, even on my 8800GTX. Specially the papers.

There's video of it here, comparing the two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luSAnouAFJs

If someone feels kind enough to get me in a fourpack for this and wait a day or two till i get some payment, i'll appreciate it. Not THAT interested in the game but it does look like it could be fun, so worth a try.

Look... here's the deal. Batman: AA is a MUCH better game than you think it is. MUCH better. The games you're currently looking forward to would disappoint you if you were to first play the 2 Batman games one after the other
in one month on PC

It's a fucking dungeon crawler that borrows heavily from the World of Warcraft fantasy style. Only thing it has for it is that you can play versus any other platform, including mobile devices and consoles. The mobiles part should indicate the game quality.

I don't give a fuck about it either.

I think it's more tower defense than dungeon crawler.

Also PM sent Xerosauce

It started being unplayable as soon as I entered the first
scrarecrow nightmare
, I guess the biggest problem were all those cubes floating around, remember those? Then I lowered the setting to the minimun and it worked like a charm from that moment on.

Eh it was just a joke at The Shark's expense, I can understand people not caring about it. For my part the main reason I'm so amped for it is that I can play with my flatmate on our TV while playing online with Steam friends. That's amazingly awesome, and something I've wanted to see in more games for, like, ever.

Anyone else having some weird issues with the emails from Steam? I just bought Arkham City and the email I got from them had no subject and when I clicked on it it wouldn't even show anything as Hotmail flagged it as suspicious. Then I went to change emails and when they sent me an email for a code I had to enter it again had no subject and it had 2 weird symbols in the message I've never seen before.

edit: this is what was shown െ

edit 2: nevermind I guess it's because of server maintenance. I really need to start paying attention to that stuff.

Maybe you guys can help me. I've had Minecraft on my Steam list for a while and it usually shows that I am playing it, but when I launch it from Steam recently, it no longer says I am playing anything when I have Minecraft launched. Anyone know why?

I want Costume Quest right now, but I may wait for it to inevitably go on sale eventually.

Its a tower defense where you control a character and fight in the battles so no, its not a dungeon crawler.

So it is split screen on the PC? How does that work? One person on the mouse and keyboard and the other on two controllers? I guess you could both be using controllers as well?

I'm not actually certain, but I guess so. Not sure which platform this video is from but it's local co-op played splitscreen:

I'm planning to use a couple of controllers myself, I assume that would work.

How do you already have it on your game list?

Is Two Tribes rewarding you for getting so many people to buy the game?
Click to expand...
Alpha keys going out, 200 of them. I think, managed to grab one myself. Not too much now, except for one background pane you can look around in. Cool stuff is as soon as the devs update it, you receive an updated build.

Can anyone confirm that Valve's E-mail system is incredibly screwy right now?

I'm trying to log in from a different computer, and when Steam attempts to send me an E-mail verification code, the E-mail just says: ÿþF

(Easy to check: just enable private browsing and try to log into Steam's site via web browser)

Coming from all the craziness surrounding Arkham City showing up on Steam today, I'm curious why Valve doesn't really advertise "Retail Support" on Steam's game pages. It would save a ton of time and discussion about whether or not you need to buy it on Steam to have it there or if you can buy it at brick and mortar or another DD retailer and get it (or not).

Is it just me, or is Steam bugged tonight? I asked for changing my email adress, and all i received from Steam as confirmation is a email with no title saying " െ".

My brother has the same issue while trying to verify his new account. What's up with that?

We're both using hotmail accounts for that.

They were my favorite band in the 90's. I don't keep up with them much anymore but I'd by lying if I say I hated that new song with Skrillex, or whatever his name is.

Post was submitted without judgement, I just felt that there was an equal dollop of irony in both statements.
