Nice. Would day 1 them so hard on Steam or GOG. I never gave them the full playthroughs they deserve.

That's because Activision still has the publishing rights to that game (and Quake Wars) but all the rest are iD/Bethesda.

Unfortunate, but expected.
They removed it from the Gamefly Digital Unlimited PC Play as well
I kept meaning to try it since it was free and never got around to it

What's the diff between the Beta Garry's Mod to the current Garry's Mod?
I mean - they're planning to update the old GM?

I know that it is not an exact science but does anyone know when the steam summer sale 2012 is to be expected? Early June, late June, early July? It is just that I have to plan my final university exam (so I can go out in the real world and start working) and right now I don't want it to conflict with the steam sule. Had such a plast last summer and this winter. Thanks!
Last year was June 30th through July 10th. So it'll probably around the same time.

Think the beta is for Steam Workshop features.

I'll buy Wolfy 3D if someone names a good Doom-like source port with fancy graphics and mouse aiming.
NewWolf is the only one I am aware of, but I don't think it does anything as fancy graphically as the doom ports do.

Why do so many people who do these think it looks good to filter the textures/sprites? That only ever looks good if they were drawn with that in mind.

No to mouse aiming but I'd pay good money for Wolfenstein and Doom remakes in Id tech 5.

I just finished Gemini Rue. Aside from all the problems I had with AGS, it was a great game with a deep story.
I'll probably check the Blackwell series now. Legacy is the first one right?

Yup. Don't go in expecting the same level of quality as Gemini Rue, though. I really liked the first Blackwell game, but the following two killed my interested really fast, specially Convergence.

Hints:
- The game is part of a series created by Mr.X
- Mr.X made another game last gen which was considered a failure probably because of time constraints.
- It is probably a Japanese developed game.

I have no idea what that is, but it does sound very Japanese-y. The beginning part, with the ominous orchestral thing, sounds similar in style to Safer Sephiroth / One Wing Angel, which was composed by Nobuo Uematsu. I don't know off the top of my head other Japanese composers who have that style, much more familiar with the PC music scene.

Thanks for the answer. I'm kinda disappointed to hear it's not as good as Gemini Rue, but I'll see if it keeps me engaged enough to play the whole trilogy.
Yeah, it definitely sounds like a battle theme from a JRPG, but I have no idea what it is. I already own Frozen Synapse so whatever.
There's actually a fourth Blackwell game (I don't know if it's on Steam, but you can get it from Wadjet Eye's own site), but I haven't played it. The format is like a few cases per game that all have some connection to a bigger storyline, so that's kinda cool.
And just to clarify, Gemini Rue was made by a different developer entirely, with assistance from Wadjet Eye, but story and design were made by another guy.
I thought it was from one of the Drakengard games, but after listening to the start of every song in their OSTs, it doesn't seem to be that.
For what it's worth, I think the Blackwell series is significantly better than Gemini Rue. GR has atmosphere and style but the characters and story are mostly flat.
Blackwell starts slowly. Outside of the excellent music, Legacy isn't all that impressive. Thankfully, the developers learn from their mistakes and I find the 3rd and 4th games among the best adventure releases in the last few years. It's all in the writing.
Some advice: Turn off the voice acting in Legacy. Later games are better in that respect. There's even a few legitimately good performances!

That sucks, if it was paypal or something I would help.
Never used the wallet. Any money I put in would be spent right away.

Question all, is there no way to play Steam games offline? 
My desktop has no internet right now, and it's not letting me run anything.

What games are you trying to play? I can play my games in offline mode.Question all, is there no way to play Steam games offline?

I tried a bunch. Cthulhu Saves The World, Sequence, Mass Effect, etc. Maybe I had a setting wrong...
Is a network cable plugged in? If so, unplug it and restart steam.
So much for Impulse...

Nope, just said I couldn't run those games in offline mode. I'll try again later.

Down with Paypal.
So you can launch Steam in offline mode, but not run specific games? That normally only happens if the games are not up to date. I wish offline mode was better. =(

Sounds weird, I can play all my games in offline mode.
