What?
IIRC, some months ago, he mentioned that he was asked to be in a commercial for SW:TOR. I asked him about it when I actually read the message about a day later (damn time difference), but he never got back to me.
He told me about it and said the pay was butts as were the hours so he only did one day of filming (of the two) I think.

It's an ok shooter. Better than all the CoD clones for sure but not that good otherwise.
The levels are extremely linear and restrictive with lots of invisible walls, the secrets are pretty lame, there are few enemy types and the 2 weapons with multiple firing modes systems is a bit clunky.
Still, I had some fun with it and it's worth buying for that price.

Mine paid off immediately, though they've since changed the rates and it costs a bit more relative to what it used to be. Still not a bad time to jump on board now though

Is this game any good?

I hear you on that. We've made pretty marked strides towards the points you're speaking to and have so much more to do. For example, we've had a "deal of the week" running since September 2011 that kicks off every Sunday and runs through Saturday. This is the vehicle that has housed most of the deals that I'm referencing.
As for the layout, if you visit the DD portal during a sale period like the one we have now, you'll notice that we have shifted to a much more graphical layout in an effort to make it clear what deals are being offered:

As always, feedback is welcome and used to improve the process

Wrong, game is pretty great.
I played it for a few hours yesterday, I was so strapped for healing I figured I must be playing it wrong. Nope, just no healing items to be found. I'll give it another try though...

This guy gets it - I tried out Hard Reset on Insane just now (I'd only played Normal before) and it's like a different game. Totally intense.

just keep feeling the ballels.
they need to make the friendly creatures invisible. i had to kill them when i'm stuck :\
It would be (actually, it's already paid for itself - QUBE, Choplifter HD and those Krater and Risen 2 betas were more than worth the entry fee) - if I could only log in to the damn thing.
Seriously, I haven't been able to log in for a month now. It seems to be a very widespread issue, related to old accounts and their brand new login system. My problem is being handled by IGN Support, but God knows how long that will take.
And S.P.A.Z. was just put up for free, too...*sobs*
Totally agree. My sub has been locked at $20 per year for the last 3 years (My sub renewed this week for my 3rd year) and it has more than paid for itself every time.
The site asks me to login every single time but once I enter the details in manually, it works.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The ARG was fun. But let's never forget how it ended.
EA bitched about the early release, so we got GLaDOS@Home in place of the intended unlock date.

Did we ever get any actual proof that ea was responsible for the perceived "delay"? An interview or anything?
If memory serves, a Valve employee mentioned it on Steamcast around the time the ARG ended.

Recommended for that price, just for Cthulhu. Compulsive, especially if you played the games it's paying homage to.
It's always been on a per-game basis, and we don't know what Valve's next retail release will be as CS:GO and Dota 2 are both DD-only.
(It's Half-Life 3.)
Are you implying that the games aren't worth $2?
Don't hate me, but I'm kind of glad that Portal 2 didn't come out early. The game would have been totally ruined for me since I was going to pick us the PC version on the day of release with a Best Buy gift card.
Anyways, Gamefly has a sale this weekend.
Deus Ex HR $10
MW1 $10
MW2 $10
MW3 $40

That's a sucky problem to have. I guess I got lucky. My ancient account hasn't given me any problems.

Someone at Valve made a mistake. On the front page Binary Domain is at the top of new releases. But on the game page it's still pre-order. Got pumped for nothing… EDIT: They fixed it.
Considering getting Alan Wake. Anyone played the PC version? How is it?

One question, I went to the SteamApps to back up Rayman Origins and I found this folder "ValveTestApp207490" inside is Rayman Origins, does anyone has this folder too?
spindoctor
Member
Yeah, they probably forgot to rename the folder to "Rayman Origins" when the game was launched, I guess.
Leon Belmont
Member
Ohh ok thank you, yeah I think that too, they forgot to rename the folder!
Coming from GoW? Borderlands and Bulletstorm should both have co-op.
Joe Molotov

So anyone playing this Shoot Many Robots dealie?

Bulletstorm doesn't have co-op.
Yeah, no need to make someone else suffer with you.

listen to the mad man
I'm curious about few things related to the Ms. Splosion Man announcement:
1) Given that it's been in the Steam registry since before the MS acquisition, I wonder if MS had to sign off on it.
2) Will the Steam version be GFWL on Steam, or Steamworks?

Amazon has Darkness 2 for $12.49 right now. If you are going to pick it up get it from them!
Yes it does, but it's a separate horde/score attack mode, not a co-op campaign like Gears.

That is so tempting to get.

Oh yea okay I forgot about that. I was referring to campaign co-op obviously. The Bulletstorm horde mode co-op was actually quite fun, but seeing as how it uses GFWL matchmaking and the game sold like shit, I doubt there will be many (or any) people online still playing it. And reaching the score targets with just 2 people would be too hard I think.
