Proceeds going to the Foundation for Saving Endangered THQ Studios?

(I'm being facetious -- I usually move the slider to 100% developer.)

In game, no. On the desktop, definitely. Alt tabbing is a lot less brutal. You don't get as much slowdown when you're exiting a game. Game start up is quicker.
I cannot overstate this enough. Going from 256 MB to 1 GB made the jump from games to desktop instantaneous. And then again with 3 GB. Of course newer games make your machine show its age, but for some time it's amazing how well it performs.

I may be late on this, but this is weird. This was found in the registry: THQ Humble Bundle Core. Right now it has Red Faction: Armageddon, Metro 2033, Company of Heroes (OF+ToV), and Darksiders.

I feel bad buying Spec Ops for $6.00 because I really wanted it and would have paid full price but I didn't get around to it yet. But $6.00!

works for Gamestop (lol)
What does RoW stand for anyway?

And for the record, my Spec Ops purchased from Amazon during the summer was ROW. No problems in the US.

Spec Ops still seems to be unavailable in GMG. It no longer says out of stock, but there's no price and the buy button is missing. Seems to be pretty widespread, but not affecting everyone?

This exact thing was happening to me, but I just refreshed the page recently and the buy option was there again. At least in the UK looks like you can buy the game again.

My first impressions about the SA2 PC port, posted in the SA2 OT:

PC version is out, the port of SA2 is almost as good as the Jet Set Radio port, unlike SADX 2011, it supports alot of resolutions, and it looks good even in non 16:9 resolutions (like 1440x900). The game runs at 60fps.

The game doesn't have an option for anti-aliasing though, but for recent AMD/ATI graphics cards it's possible to force AA through the graphics drivers. No idea if forcing AA through the graphics drivers works for Nvidia cards, I can't test this since I only have an AMD card.

In a Radeon HD6850, both 4xSSAA and 4xMSAA worked fine at 1440x900.

AC3 Deluxe edition is on GMG with 30% discount code GMG30-0S3NJ-32J92, in euros that makes it €45,50
 
so this I Am Alive, yay or nay?

Very much "yay". It has a lot of little issues (really just a lack of polish here and there), but I really enjoyed my time with it.

Puzzle Agent 2

Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition

Anomaly: Warzone Earth

Quote to see, Dream Machine was for my brother.

Children of the nile was unfortunately taken. But thanks anyway.

Civ 5 key back at everybody, you know what to do.

Anyone able to gift me Assassin's Creed III? I can pay via Paypal or can gift a game or games of equivalent value.

It's not on the UK store and was hoping to take a stab at unlocking it early.
