The puzzling thing about The Old Republic is they basically omit The Sith Lords.
I personally recommend playing KOTOR first, as long as you don't find yourself hating it like 4 hours in. Overall I recall liking the characters and story better in it than KOTOR2, though KOTOR2 probably had some good characters too and I'm just not remembering the details.

Yeah, you should play KOTOR1 first as it would be a depressing downgrade if you played it second.
This describes me and KOTOR 2 as well. I can't for the life of me really remember anything about the game other than the PC being a jedi investigating Revan or something, and visiting some of Revan's old haunts.
KOTOR 1 was more distinctly memorable for me for whatever reason.

Maybe it'll go on sale when their next game comes out http://smudgedcat.com/gateways.htm
Tomorrows Midweek will probably be another indie bundle. This time it focuses on British devs (Time Gentlemen, Eulforia, Gratuitous Space Battles, Revenge of the Titans, Frozen Synapse x2, Defcon).

So, HK-47 is on the Ebon Hawk. Is this part of the Content Mod, or was he always there?
I did. It just restarts steam and logs him in automatically.

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for this game.
Looking good.
so did I miss anything in this thread lol?
so while I was casted away from GAF, I managed to get through some of my backlog:
Games completed:
Sleeping Dogs
Sleeping Dogs is probably going to be my favourite game this year. Its hard to imagine why Activision wanted to scrap this game as it really excels well as a sandbox game and has refined how we see the genre altogether. The story is amazing and can hold its own compared to Mafia 2 / GTA4. The combat is great, as well as movement; its very responsive compared to GTA4. Cars are slightly arcade-ish to handle - but considering you can hijack cars and do slow motion shoot-outs it works out pretty well. Overall Sleeping Dogs is a love letter to Hong Kong cinema; Ive been mesmerized by its tiny immaculate detail which gives this game so much charisma and charm. Truly one the great gems of this generation. On a last note, the PC version is just amazing, advance PC options and day 1 HD textures really show that United Front is commited to the PC. Listening to Ninja Tune radio while driving a motorbike down a wet and rainy neon lit sky is just pure bliss.
Rayman Origins
Best local co-op game for pc for miles, I actually managed to finish it with some friends, but boy do some of the later stages do make you want to rip your hair out, co-op can be quite hectic too, but overall its worth it, the visuals cannot get enough praise.
Stranglehold
Unfortunately not Steam, but its worth picking up if you ever liked the Max Payne series, the whole game is a homage to John Woo style of films, the game is actually a game sequel to the film Hard Boiled, which is worth watching
Still playing:
RAGE
My 2nd attempt into the game and Im actually starting to like it, Ill try and finish this off when I can but some my negativity towards it has gone.
Nexuiz
Such a terrible game, with only 9 maps, most of which are pretty unoriginal and a dead community making use a matchmaking system to find games from another continent, its also the only game I can think of that wanted me to install raptr, the game also has dubstep. Avoid at all costs. Go buy Quake or Unreal instead, heck just play Nexuiz Classic instead.
CS:GO
Im such a CS noob, still playing with bots. Seems like a easy version of CS/CS:S, still have no idea why Valve decided made it now at this current time. Its still a good game with the new inclusion of new modes but it feels odd having 3 CS versions.
PS: why did no one gif Gabe from the GTTV show D: ?
PS: Almost forgot, thanks to Xelios for putting up OT3, sorry if you missed some sleep :lol

Well, Knights of the Old Republic is kind of fucked. Even running it under compatibility mode I can't get the game to launch successfully. As soon as the game runs it just minimises and becomes completely unresponsive. Vanilla, patched, doesn't make a difference.
Reading up on it, seems there are a host of issues with running the game properly on Windows 7.

He's meant to be there. I only just now got him fully up and running 25 hours into the game after visiting the planets I had to visit.
Sadly I don't have it installed now, but I really thought I tried running it on Windows 7 64-bit (beta?) and/or Vista, and maybe even posted a screenshot. That sucks it doesn't run for you...if I install it again and try, hopefully I'll remember to post specs or notes in the thread.

It ran fine for me on Windows 7 although it seems some issues are quite common. Have you checked this thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1620666 ?

Just had a 1.7 GB update for Trine 2. What's this for? Don't see anything particulary different, so why i have to give up HD space?
Thanks for any information.

Thanks jediyoshi!
I did hit "news" in the download page but didn't see any of those details. So it's in preparation for the DLC, wonder how much will it cost?

I've got 1.3/no-cd version of the KotOR exe
I back up the Steam version of the exe in the same folder I've got KotOR 2
I copy the 1.3 exe and the fdx-sk13.nfo file into the KotOR dir in Steam
I run the UniWS patcher, the instructions specify the 1024x768, I find the resolution used makes no difference
I run the patcher, a new resolution entry is made, 1920x1200, but this resolution is in name only.
If I replace the 1024x768 resolution, that's what the actual resolution is even if it's called 1920x1200.
Every time I re-attempt to patch the resolution, I have to re-add the 1.3 exe and associated file. Stepping through the various resolutions and none of them work.
I've tried manually editing the .ini (only one location, unlike KotOR2's two locations) after running the patcher, doesn't make a difference.
What am I doing wrong here, I've followed the instructions, step-by-step.
Edit: It appears my only mistake was not starting a game before attempting this mod. The mod works, it just doesn't affect the main menu or any of the front end the way the Sith Lords widescreen/ui mod does. The change won't be visible until you're in-game.
I've had to outright disable the in-game movies to get the game to run, vanilla or widescreen mod'd, the game minimises and becomes completely unresponsive after the first logo movie plays. This could make for a very disjointed experience.
This is for real, the UI for the menus doesn't scale with the resolutions the game supports, it's just this tiny little 800x600 window with a giant border around it. wtf.
Try not playing with bots then. ;p

I can dig it.
Send a FR to Edgeward, and we can set it up. I would just send it via email but it won't let me.

I feel like I'm playing the video game equivalent of a Chris Claremont comic.
All your posts are going to make me install it again, I was so sure I didn't have Windows 7 problems.
I didn't use the widescreen utility though. I thought it looked okay on 1680x1050.
