Still looking for someone from the US who doesn't want/already has BF3 premium, to buy a premium code off GMG, then email it to me after I paypal you.

I have steam community beta invites to sweeten the deal :)

So I did end up buying dishonored on GMG despite their best efforts to stop me. I had "order failed" 3 times before it finally went through, hopefully they didn't fuck up and charge me 4 times or cause some issue with the bank. First time that's happened, and their sleeping dogs fiasco was the first time they screwed me on getting the key to me in time. They're really slipping lately.

I would bang a hot farmer!
Anyone want a 75% off Steam code for Nexuiz 4-pack and four copies of the DLC to share with three other people? The 4-pack is $29.97 so that means it would be $7.49 after the coupon. First PM gets it all then you can organize the 4-pack if you want to share it and the DLC with other GAFers.

Tempted to order Dishonored through GMG but even using paypal last time my credit card company called me about it. Guess it's not a big deal just don't want them to lock my card down.

Same thing happens to me. One order to GMG and it's a call. 20 orders to Steam and it's no problem.

how many years later was the stats added? also gun game is an official mode on source correct?
Click to expand...

Stat tracking was one of the many features added with the big update of mid-2010. And GunGame is still a custom, server-side mod in CS:S, but it's been implemented in CS:GO as two official game types -- Arms Race, which is essentially GG Turbo, and Demolition, which is essentially GG Vanilla.

My Steam has a bug. :(

Message icon is green and it says I have 1 new message. I click it and it takes me to an error page. The message icon has been green for days.

Fuck fuck fuck. Binary Domain has the same problem as Sonic Generations: A shitty config tool that doesn't recognize my main graphics card, only my mobo-card. Thanks to that, I have to do some silly tricks with a "fake second monitor" the way I did in Sonic Generations. Don't these fuckers learn?

Anyway, granted it's just the demo, but is there any way I can properly set my graphics card? Without messing about in the BIOS.

Re-posting from the OT:

Beat it in one sitting, took me about several hours. It's not often I do that anymore. Fun game, Falls' campaign was about the same length as War's (8 hours). In some ways Fall is better than War, in some ways it's worse. I kinda miss being able to choose who you play through a mission as but the character and weapon upgrade system sorta makes up for it. I found the heavily scripted beginning of the game kinda offputting and thought the deviations from straight up shooting sections, stealth and escort, were kind of a mixed bag. Overall though I enjoyed Fall about as much as I did War, a fun trip through cartoon memory lane. I may keep the game installed to replay missions on higher difficulties and go for the collectibles and upgrades I missed. Don't know if I'll bother with the coop or multiplayer modes.

Fun game, the Grimlock parts were badass.

Fall of Cybertron's a pretty fun game. The port is pretty barebones though, same basic options the first game had and from what another poster mentioned (I didn't bother to run FRAPS at all) in the OT, Fall is capped at 30fps like War.

I had this once and it was silly but I file -> exit steam.. and then restarted and it was gone.. seemed shutting down and rebooting machine with auto login would not clear it. Its the same with store popups for me.. they don't show unless I shut steam down and reopen.. if I shutdosn , turn off windows and then it auto starts on reboot I don't get anything ..

It's a bug with the new Steam Community beta. Steam notifies you of any comments posted to your status updates, but you can't view them at present because the My Activity page hasn't yet been overhauled a la the Friend Activity page.

I really wish if there was an "invisible statues". You appear offline but still connected to the community and is able to chat.

Yeah, I want to play a game without being constantly hammered I shouldn't be playing games. I like having a hidden agenda!
