It fixed it by itself somehow. I just followed the instructions in JaseC's link and added those Google DNSes. I tried both since IPv4 didn't fix it and must have forgotten to take it out. Should I remove the IPv6 DNS?

If it's working, nevermind. You don't really need IPv6 unless your ISP provides support for it though.

I usually disable the IP v6 interface entirely on the network adapter, but that's because I live in a country that IPv6 won't be enabled anytime soon.

It was a joke, given your love for Hitman Blood Money. Thought you would get it :/

Oh wow that went right over my head then. Are they level names or something? I barely pay attention to those and rely on descriptors like the new orleans level in Blood Money.

I'd love to see that, but since the game didn't even have a 50% sale yet, I wouldn't bet on it.

It was 50% off on Amazon one day during the Thanksgiving sale, and $20 from Gamefly a week or two back. I probably should've bought it at $20, but I'm hoping it'll be $20 on sale during January so I can use my Amazon credit on it to make it $15.

I'm hoping for the Amazon deal myself, but don't know if I can wait so long. :/ I just meant it didn't have a dedicated Steam 50% sale yet, so I doubt it'll go lower this winter sale.

Damn and I didn't buy it during the 21 something euro amazon deal 2 weeks ago -.-

Check this:

Makes it 16€. I'm thinking about buying this myself for the last few days.
I used the site to buy a Borderlands 2 key once and it went without problems. Should be fine. They're actually quite big in the UK.
They might not be an official Steam key reseller though.

Ah, alright. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to any networking stuff :(

Soooooooooooo I'm thinking of getting Stronghold Collection and Crusader Knights 1+2, but what genre are these games? RTS, Tower defense?
Click to expand...

Crusader Kings 2 is a grand strategy game. In this game you manage a dynasty during medieval era. You also manage the counties, duchies, kingdoms and empires your dynasty is holding at the moment. There is a lot of characters in game, even a small barony might have enough intrigue to keep you busy for days. DLCs needed are, Sword of Islam, Legacy of Rome and maybe Sunset Invasion, rest is cosmetic.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
Could someone invite me to the Neogaf steam group? My steam name is "BK_Lorenzo (Burger King)"

What are the chances of XCOM being around 70% off during winter seal?
Click to expand...

Really unlikely. If you're in Europe you might be able to pick up a physical copy (game is Steamworks) for cheap. Both Amazon.co.uk and play.com have it for 12.99 pounds.

There is a Crusader Kings II demo for those wondering about it. I should check it out, play it for 5 minutes and enjoy the art style of the map which I really love, be really confused, and then delete it.

I can't figure out how the deal is with the Crusader Kings II Collection - does it only have like a third of all of the DLCs released up to this point?

Same game looks interesting, but would like some impressions on it first.
Like-wise for Crusader Kings 2 and Stronghold franchise.
Click to expand...

I loved Jade empire and replayed it recently, IMO it has aged pretty well.

I really enjoyed the older Stronghold games too. For some reason I'm struggling to get into Stronghold 3 though. It just feels clunky.

Damn, it was a worse joke than I ever thought :(

Hitman = person that punches
Blood Money = cash that bleeds

As a comedian, I'd be a great car salesman.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Don't worry, no one got my Unplayable Garbage, Unstoppable Gorg, JaseC, Australian Ugg Boots joke from earlier, either.

Eventually you learn this thread is filled with fucking philistines.

Yup, nobody here likes our humor. Now you'll never get to hear my joke about Gaben, the drunk vortigaunt and the crazy companion cube. Your loss.

Any comments/recommendations regarding Last Remnant? <$4.00 is my impulse buy territory regardless of backlog, so as long as this thing is worth playing eventually it'll sit happily in my steam library til then.
Click to expand...

I haven't played it, but I think it has to get credit for being a JRPG(ish) game by Square on Steam. Opinions seem mixed (incuding very good and very bad), but it's not a bad game in absolute terms.
It's also $3.50.

It's fine, but there's tons of better stuff out there.

If you have some PS2 JRPGs still left uplayed, then run those by your favorite emulator. If you ran out and are still desperate, then maybe try TLR.
