He looks quite happy. Like this:
Played a bit of Darkstar One last night. I have no bloomin' clue as to what to do in there. Got stuck in the first training mission, for crying out loud, the one where I need to haul a cargo container. Can't find the container because there are lots of them flying around, and when I decide to pick a random one I just...can't. This shows up how most modern games have spoiled me in regards to learning my way through game mechanics. I need huge, brilliant button prompts and arrows.
Feels bad, mang.

Someone sell me on this ship simulator. Also anybody have any coupons for it?
Paradox had coupons right?
Edit: I'm on planes all of the damn day. I don't know if I'll even have a chance to trade with someone till way later :/

I've only played the demo, but Sonic Generations looks fantastic on PC. I've already played through it on the 360, but i'll probably buy it on Steam just to play through it again at 1080p60.
It's actually not that bad, but Sonic CD (along with most other 2d sonic games) are better, so, ya know, there's that.
Fairly certain Giant Bomb had a quicklook for it, so if you like GB, you could take a look at that.
I'm definitely getting Sonic 4 when it goes on sale.
I just have to

Oh snap! Was that the one where they had the boat with the hose?! Buying this shit up!
Oh, wow. Sega and Sonic racing never goes on sale for 75 percent off (other than a really long time ago).
Think I'll pick it up for a cheap, shallow arcade racer that has really good 3D. Not a big fan of kart games or racing games that can't use wheels, but those are some pretty visuals.

Glad to see the demo of Sonic Generations is finally out for PC. I wan't to see how it runs on my PC before I buy it.

Already got Sonic 1, 2 and Generations for my little brother a while ago.
Any others I should get?

Does this have native 3D support like Sonic Generations or do you need 3DTV Play/3D Vision?

I was playing Sonic Generations yesterday and it really does look amazing on PC at 1:1 pixel mapped resolutions, 60 fps and anti-aliasing. While I'm not a big fan of how modern Sonic plays, it's hard not to appreciate the sheer spectacle of what happens on the screen.

They patched it. It's not perfect or anything, but it's a big improvement. I used to get slideshow-level drops, but now I just get regular ol' frame drops.
Not native. Needs 3D Play/Vision.
I'll have to do another run at it this weekend then, and see how it is.

Does it support the 360 pad without having to use xpadder or similar tools? I can't seem to find a clear answer on that.

It does, me and a friend play with two 360 pads all the time.
It is a pinball stage. It was included as a pre-order bonus in the console version.
So it's not an actual level? Pass then.

I'm still sitting at the final boss in Shank 1
That guy was a son of a bitch for me.

I know, I tried it for maybe 15 minutes and then I just gave up.

You can't pass! According to the description, "no Sonic Generations experience is complete without this exclusive content". I wish they had sold me the complete experience.

"DLC is cut content! LOL"
So there's absolutely no fix? Not even like a .ini file?

I bought steam in a teacup and the game doesn't exist on server yet. wtf is this D:
I'm looking for one as well, PM if you have a spare.
I think its because people just played the Quake 3 Demo for years rather then buy the game.
One of the very best demos ever released imo.
But to be fair to play the beta demo you needed some rocket scientist voodoo (pun intended) shit to install the video drivers. A daring task at the time!

Yeah. Bloodgulch demo servers for Halo:CE are more common/full than servers for the full game, for example.
A situation like that isn't good.
I was waiting for this Sega and Sonic racing sale for quite awhile, and I even had a 33% sega coupon from christmas acheivements!
I love cart racers so I'm confident I'll enjoy this one, such a shame it lacks online multiplayer on PC (would had likely picked it up much earlier if it had it).

You're thinking of the Battlefield 1942 demo.

I just wrapped up Anomaly: Warzone Earth, here are some thoughts:
Oh and I didn't take any screens this time because I was too busy planning my routes and stuff.
- I thought it was neat that the core of the gameplay was a reverse of tower defense. Rather than building towers, you are the attacker choosing the lane to attack. In the current onslaught of TD games, it's rather refreshing. Being able to run anywhere as the commander also keeps it from feeling too limited.
- Everything feels incredibly tight on the mouse and keyboard.
- The art style is kinda weird, but it works really well.
- The voice acting is hilariously bad. So bad that it almost reaches the point where it would become charming, but falls short.
- The devs keep a good pace of throwing new enemies and units at you, giving you time to get comfortable with each one before moving on. The game ends before anything has the opportunity to feel stale.

Wasn't gonna touch it when I saw "single player" on the steam page, but GAF comes through with the goods again. Split screen on PC? Sold! (Note to developers)

So I finally snagged DXHR and it's saying content servers are not set up to deliver this content, please try again in a few minutes... yay.
Also, anything I need to do out of the box as far as anti-piss filtering or mouse lag/ fov correction?
Thanks guys.

I had to set the fov to 85 or 90 so I wouldn't get sick which is weird as it doesn't usually bother me.

Is anyone else not being able to connect to Steam?
I keep getting an error message "problems with you connection or with Steam network".
