Never really had that experience, unfortunately. I'm with you waiting for the sales, though. I've got enough games right now.

If only you had told me this 48 hours ago.
I would have ignored your advice.
Tell me if it runs there. For some odd reason the game is bugged in my machine.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I've love to, but unfortunately it's been a long time since I've had the free space to install impulse purchases, haha. I'm sure somebody else who frequents this thread can offer a sitrep on the game, though.

That probably won't help much with loading BF3 maps.

Any UE3 game too. Their texture streaming is horrendous.

I actually tried BF3 on an SSD and it was noticeable better. Granted it was an intel drive wich are supposed to be much faster, but still
im using it as an OS drive. Just gonna throw a couple games I play the most
I deleted a handful of games to clear the necessary six'ish gig, although I'm not sure when the download will complete due to my inconsistent connection. When I do get around to playing the game, what issues should I be looking for? (Hopefully the game will be ready by the time I ready your reply.)

So after trying out both Dead Space 2 and NFS: Hot Pursuit, I saw that they only utilize one CPU core. It's not terrible for me since that one core is only going up to 50C max when playing them, but I find it to be very concerning.
Is there a way to get them to even themselves using each of my four cores?
I saw WinAFC was recommended in a steam forum thread, but having just recently built this PC, I'm hesitant to try it out.

You can't change graphical settings. Also you'll get stuck in the main menu.
Compare to Cities XL 2011 which is actually running fine.

Out of the ones you already have installed, Sonic CD. You can finish that quickly.
Oops, that one shouldn't be there. I finished that yesterday :V The game is so short, but I left it in my UNFINISHED category because I want to finish it with all timestones first.

GAF, I think I have a problem.
These are all the unfinished games in my list.
Which games take a short time to finish so I can take action and lessen this list a bit? White games are obviously installed and am already playing them.
You put Tales of Monkey Island twice on that list. You are disqualified.
Also play Just Cause 2.

Somewhat, I haven't even installed 28 games yet.
And I'm still thinking of getting FM2013 with my TF2 keys. =_=

You know with the Origin madness going on I guess it finally proved something to myself. I always thought even if I could get free games outta it, I had no interest in ever using it, and I guess that actually is the case. Drew my line in the sand and I'm stickin' to it, because I don't want to live in a future where I have to have a bunch of things idling on my taskbar just to access my games.

Welp that exposes my ign'ance! So the client isn't used at all for those games to play them?A lot of the games didn't require Origin past installation

You know for the next Winter Sale, if I didn't manage to cut my credit card in half I might just opt to buy the games in gift forms.
That way I would actually commit to finishing a game/trade it away later.

Usually not, IIRC.
Newer stuff like Battlefield 3 and TOR requires the client to be running, though.
Not TOR.

I took the plunge. I guess I care more about gaming than my taskbar.

Well darn, tried the Origin code.
Forgot that it was only applicable in the United States.
Shame, I would have loved to try out Medal of Honor.... didn't I just grumble about having a huge backlog a few posts back?

I tried to get Kingdom of Amular and Gatling Gears for free. When I found out KoA was excluded, I put Sabateur in the cart with GG. When I realized I was too late and could only get one free game, I removed GG. Then I said, "Eh." If it's not KoA, it's not worth the effort." Closed the tab
And I already have an Origin account from BF3 :lol.

Woah, time to install
and then briefly uninstall
Tried ordering Mass Effect 2, it said "your order is processing, we'll let you know if it goes through" or something like that... next time I tried it said "invalid promo code"
