You mean the old ones?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I'll ask my friend who works for Ready Rooter. He knows a lot about cesspools.
Heeey, they were useful for tech support.

Cesspools are useful for containing human waste, too.

So are the new discussions section for each game?
But what about all the old info? You have to use Google cache to access that now.
I guess it's not a big deal, but an archive would have been nice regardless.

Most of it gets transferred over when people ask the same questions again for fixing stuff.
I agree that having the answers archived would be nice. I think that was the plan, so maybe they will come back online if it's just a maintenance outage.

Yes it would help, but be a huge undertaking.
I love this xkcd comic. We have all been there.
Very nice find, thank you. In one of the very first beta release it sufficed to press the home button just once to launch BPM, even with Steam minimized. Then later releases lost that function so I thought it was gone for gone, while I only had to hold it for 5 seconds. Neat, very useful, thanks again.

I love this updating uPlay mini-game in Far Cry 3.

Is that the shaft where you have to shoot switches as you ascend it but every time you activate one two flying enemies appear and spam you with fireballs until you fall off? Awful.
Don't get the PC version. Even with mods, it looks and sounds like complete shit. Some of the mods are also very complicated to use and some are nearly impossible to find (like the complete set of high-res cinematics, then even when you find them they will probably stutter like crazy due to bad encoding). It's not worth it.
Don't get me started. Every time I launch AC:Revs is a pain, they update that thing at least once a week now and it's always slow as hell (yeah, I launch AC once a week, boring shit is boring).
Thanks Ubisoft, we really needed yet another game launcher/store/whatever and its updates.

That's actually stopping me from getting Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for the PC. Heard so much bad things about that crap.
Best thing was Ubisoft blaming piracy for poor Assassin's Creed PC sales when honestly, it's probably largely the DRM's fault. Skyrim sold a bloody lot on the PC for god's sake.
Yes. Fuck that part. Nearly didn't finish the game because of it. Thank you, Youtube.
I like how they recently acknowledged the fact that those DRMs were part of the problem, then launched uplay as it is now, the most invasive thing ever that even breaks BPM. A job well done Ubi. Please kill me if I ever buy another game from them.
I dunno if someone noticed but Half Minute Hero is 50% off :O
Guess enough people are against the PC version of RE4 that I'll forget it.
I've been worse. I thought it was going to end with the one search result being from yourself. That's happened to me a couple times. Where I get all excited I finally found the answer, and then realize it's linking to something I posted, where I'm asking for help on it.

While they won't give out Steam keys, Get Games are doing a 2 for £10 promotion on Ubisoft games (EU only I think):
Anno 2070
Settlers 7
Heroes of Might and Magic VI
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Driver San Francisco
Rayman Origins
You can also get all 6 of them for £20 if you prefer. Link
I'm really tempted to get Anno and Settlers - they're both still £24.99 on Steam, so even at 75% off they'd be more expensive.
The only thing is the expansions - they're all 50% off at the Ubi store, so basically Anno and its expansion would be £15.
If they both went 75% off on Steam they'd be £11.25. Is it likely Anno would get a 75% sale? For anyone who's played it, is the Deep Ocean expansion worth it?

Right I've realized I'm completely broke for Christmas steam sale, I need to save at least £140 in less than two weeks currently I have less than half of that, so if I skip lunch for the next two weeks I can make back £70, I could just use the money from next year but it will to be too late for the Christmas sale.
.....might start packing peanut butter sandwiches now.

Bro, eat lunch. I'm almost 100% certain that Gaffers will gift you some nice games during the sale. Food > games any day of the week.
I just don't have breakfast at all. Just my free office morning coffee.
My steam wallet method is at every end of the month, I see what I have left and I add $5 to $10 and sometimes the rare $25 to my account, mostly it's $5.
Usually I hit $50~$75 by the Autumn/Winter sales and capping just under $150 by the Summer sale.
Ask yourself, what would Gaben do?

Yes! The only thing more annoying is finding the post and seeing that it was edited to add "Nevermind, fixed it".....and then nothing.

There are better versions to play, but *millions* of people were just fine playing the PS2 version and the PC version is just that in HD with perfect image quality (and the same 240p cutscenes lol).
I really don't think it's *that* bad in a pinch since it won't have a couple of the Dolphin glitches and it certainly won't be as demanding as Dolphin for getting 60 fps (30 frames per eye, the games games cap).

What's the trick for finding grid view banners of games you don't own? I'm mostly thinking of games split into multiple episodes.
Which is why I'll always edit in a solution in really pesky situations. I figure if only one person ever reads it in a google search, it's still worth the effort.

Well, he wouldn't skip lunch for two weeks, I'm fairly certain of that.

Dungeon and Dragons Anthology and Freespace might be pushed out soon. They're appearing now on Valve employee accounts.
Who's publishing this? Atari? Or someone else?

Not sure. Atari originally published the Anthology, but I'm pretty sure the rights to all of the D&D video games reverted back to Hasbro earlier this year.
wat, you should own these games already.
I don't own Dishonored.
Meh, i'm used to skipping meals so this isn't anything new, then again I rarely have a chance to play games anymore.
Yeah I'll probably have to use steam wallet quite soon otherwise I'll spend it on iOS apps.
funny saying that, I had dream in which Gabe Newell started offering cash loans on Steam - for games of course.

I am filled with rage.
I have the reverse problem. Money to spend, but there aren't many games that I want to buy and I'm feeling pretty content with what I have. Wait... that's not a problem at all. Sweet.

Wouldn't the reverse be:
Right I've realized I'm completely broke for Christmas dinner, I need to save at least £140 in less than two weeks currently I have less than half of that, so if I skip daily deals for the next two weeks I can make back £70, I could just use the money from next year but it will to be too late for the Christmas dinner.
.....might stick to buying shitty indie bundles for now (1$).

Screw your non-existent money problems, and go get me Dishonored to repent.
Saving up some for Winter Sales, but there's only 1, 2 games that I actually want to buy. So wondering if all this meal skimping is worth it.
Don't skip meals and essential stuff in order to buy games.
Please don't, that's not healthy.

I know but there's those games I've been wanting to get. Just 2 weeks more of this and all is well!

Seriously, that's a real problem, not at all a tenable lifestyle.
