Sounds like your PC needs one of those old "Turbo" buttons.

So... Steam is pretty cool huh guys?
I like the video games they have on that service.
Except for Yoshi Chan's fans which are not cool enough.
300 posts and 3 months.
Don't forget the blood sacrifice!
That or vsync.
Make her smile! Your avatar use to make me happy :/
Now I'm just sad when I see it ...

Yeah, it's really rather daft that they require the use of the Games for Windows Live Marketplace (or what's left of it since they dumped the site into Xbox.com) to download the DLC. Microsoft really doesn't care any more.
yup this is pretty important. Im using this:
+ this:
wich is only half-modular and it totally kills me. My temps arent THAT bad but not being able to take out all unused cables from such a small case is a pain in the butt
It's daft to begin with that this game has still GFWL.
All in good time!

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Done and done! I gave the company my whole computer so they're going to put all the good stuff in it now :3 Hopefully it doesn't take too long for them... thank you SteamGAF for the help, you guys have been amazing!
edit: I'm using another computer right now, so hopefully I'll still be active on GAF during this time :3

This is still a thing? Wow. I downloaded the GFWLM app once and it was deleted from my PC within minutes. So useless.
The Xbox.com PC store is pretty hilarious. I check out their "deal" of the week every now and then just for the laugh.
I've been waiting for them to put Gears of War up there for awhile and eventually just gave up.

I have an issue in Red Faction: Guerrilla where body parts, scenery and people will randomly disappear as I move around. I tried to record it a while back to show you guys, but when I started FRAPS everything was fine! So, it seems that it might be the same cause, too high of a framerate. I'll test it out again soon.
On a different note, I've been trying to find the option in Steam to disable notifications when people comment on my (well not mine, a friends) friends feed. It's annoying when I trade with people, then I get notifications - as in the mail icon is highlighted - saying "such and such commented on this person's profile". I don't care! lol. Does anyone know where the option is? I've looked under settings but nothing there jumps out at me.

Gears is on PC?? What about 2 or 3?
If it's anything like the overwhelming and undeserved hype that surrounds the Halo games, I'm not missing much, especially after playing other bro games like Bulletstorm.1 yes, 2 and 3 no.
Blame piracy apparently.
(I got a XBOX1 free from winning a Microsoft sponsored content, and I own Halo 2.)
Gears 1 is why I bought my 360 back in 2006, and I spent months and months playing it until Gears 2 came out so that will always hold a place in my gaming memories. Not going to dwell on the disaster that 2 multiplayer was, and I enjoyed 3, but it just fell off my radar so quickly.
They're not for everyone, and if you're not interested in it to begin with, yeah, it's not like it's a game you recommend as some hidden gem to play.
Ah well.
I loved Gears on the Xbro but I haven't added it to my PC collection mostly due to the fact that it's GFWLM/Xbox.com exclusive. Same goes for Viva Pinata. I've never bought a PC game from there, and I don't know if I ever will. If they actually put those games on sale, I might reconsider, but Microsauce doesn't seem to have any intention of doing that so fuck 'em.
Ah yeah, I actually own Viva Pinata PC (the retail version), but that GFWL thing got old really fast and I somehow lost one of my gardens once, which kind of killed my desire to play it any further.
1 yes, 2 and 3 no.
Blame piracy apparently.
"Here's the problem right now; the person who is savvy enough to want to have a good PC to upgrade their video card, is a person who is savvy enough to know bit torrent to know all the elements so they can pirate software."
Strictly speaking, he's not wrong, but the implication is obvious -- we (as in PC gaming enthusiasts) are all pirates!
I played through Gears and Gears 2 in co-op, but when Gears 3 rolled around, I had nobody to play it with and quickly discovered that the solo experience is rather dull. I couldn't even bring myself to finish the game.
PC gamer? Pirate!
Android User? Pirate!
Inflated local prices? Pirate!
I must be doing this piracy thing wrong! Spending all my money on games.

Does anyone have a Costume Quest save right before the fight with BoJonn (the first boss, in the graveyard)? I played that part in offline mode and didn't get the achievement I've tried editing the saves but it's been to no avail so far, the game detexts it and makes me start over.
It's a fun game, by the way, but they really should have tried to spice up the side quests. They're always the same, which gets boring after the second one you do each kind (fortunately, there's only three maps).

Renegade Ops is NOT a good game to be playing with KB+M because the controls are horrendous. You will need a controller.

Just an FYI for those of you who might have passed on Divinity II Dragon Knight Saga. We will have it for $5.99 for 1 day only on 7/28:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0083V7CMW/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Also, we'll have Borderlands GOTY at 75% off starting tomorrow-7/30 and anyone who purchases between now and then will get an additional 10% off the Borderlands 2 (thanks Sarcasm!) pre-order (already discounted 10%), bringing the pre-order to ~$48.
If you've ever purchased Borderlands GOTY from us in the past you'll get this 10% credit backfilled to you.
Happy Gaming!
Cheers,

Do you mean the preorder for BL2?

That's my case too!
It's not the best, but for $40 the cable management is great if you do it right and the airflow isn't bad either.
I don't have a modular PSU either, but there's almost no cables showing in my tower.
I love Gears, and I definitely wouldn't call Halo a bro shooter. But yeah the fact that GoW 1 is on PC but 2 and 3 isn't sucks so much, and 1 is the worst of them all. I'm waiting for Halo 3 to hit PC now, hoping it follows the same trend as Halo 2 did (minus the GWFL stuff)
Yeah I didn't mean to imply that I thought Halo was a bro shooter like GoW and Bulletstorm. I just cited it as an example of another game that was heavily hyped and that I was disappointed with after I actually bought and played it.
Sounds like the problem is that you're not computer savvy enough. Maybe take a course at your local community college.
Pre-order exclusives always give me a headache trying to figure out. I wonder if this Gamestop exclusive will be available to everyone as paid DLC later:
Also, is everyone out of the Loot Chest special edition?
That actually made me laugh out loud. What a state we live in.

That pictures is ridiculious. It isn't enough for it to say it includes "Slaughter Dome" a Gamestop exclusive at the top. It marketing alone sounds like it is geared toward 12 year olds: "and now with 5 x's the mutilators mutilation! It's like a parody ad by itself. But then it has that stupid (new?) Gamestop "exclusive" seal in the bottom left. I don't know about you guys, but I personally don't buy anything that doesn't have the Gamestop official exclusive seal!
Gamestop and Take2: we'll suck your dick for a dollar; we already sucked each other's for a quarter.
My recent purchase of Divine Divinity means I am obligated to purchase this.

I remember reading at the end of Summer Sales something about 5 badges...

Hey Tony, do you guys know if you'll have a 4 pack for Borderlands 2? Do you guys do 4 packs at all? It seems like a no brainer for this to be the first game if not seeing as how it is based around the concept of 4 player co-op. The main reason' I'd buy it from Steam store pre-order is that I'm hoping they'll have a 4 pack like they did for Borderlands 1.
Whatever it was, it doesn't matter. The badges don't do anything (yet) and there are more than five of them.

On the subject of Borderlands 2, did I quick search and it turns out Amazon UK is selling Borderlands 2 PC in a box for £25 (approx $39). So, er, yeah: British Pricing still holds firm.

Thanks haha.. Jasec is that you? New avatar scared me lol

The Mad Moxxi DLC in 1 was so terrible that I want to avoid anything that has her name on it or anything that resembles that ridiculous DLC. So gamestop can have their shitty dome.
