I just need the TFU games. But they are broken as far as I know
Well the first 1 downloads every single language sound file under the sun and both are locked at 30 fps, but other than that they aren't "broken."
Doesn't one have surround sound issues?

I have no idea... but couldn't you just set things to stereo and revert back after quitting? That's a pretty simple fix.

Yup, the first game has issues with 5.1 sound systems, all you can do is set it to stereo!
Also there's some other issues with some levels, where there's no sound effects!
Edit: There's a possible fix for the missing sounds issue

Really liking this minimal/compact skin. I'm not huge fan of the font used in the Friends list but everything else is nice.

No betas as far as I know.

Is it worth it?
Yeah, I really like that skin as well, and stuck with it for quite a while. I don't think it works too well with lower resolutions, so something always seemed a little off to me on my laptop. I use Compact now, really love it.
The Star Wars games aren't in danger of being pulled because of the whole LucasArts thing, are they? I only ask because I'm interested in the KOTOR games, but it looks like they are available cheaper fairly often. I'll wait a few months for the summer sale if they're still around by then.
Speaking of KOTOR, I just made a LTTP thread. I tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, if you're interested.
Which Jedi Knight / Jedi Academy game is the bees knees again? There are a few and I can't remember which one is the awesome one.
Oh, nice timing! I don't know if I'll have time to start KOTOR just yet even if I do end up picking it up before Monday, but I'll see what happens. I mean, I don't see why the games would be pulled because they're free money for Disney as I understand it, but it's something I've been a bit antsy about. If the summer sale is an option, then I'll be there for sure.

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is the amazing one. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is also pretty decent, with great gameplay but not as much of a story. Since the source code is out for JK2 you can go pretty nuts with total conversions or whatever else.

I already have KOTOR 1/2, anything else worth picking up?
Thank you!
I liked The Force Unleashed as a 15/16 year old, but I was even dumber than I am now, so I'm not sure if it was actually good. I have heard a LOT of great things about Republic Commando, though.
Stupid job, preventing me from playing that game.
And stupid 3DS too, also preventing me from playing that game. You know what? I'm going to play it right now.
Basically this. I love Dark Forces 2 too, though it's much older and it shows.

I wouldn't take any chances.
The Jedi Knight games are popular, but most of these games are pretty painful now, graphically.
It's Disney. This is the company that may have retconned the Expanded Universe out of existence. That's within their purview and rights to do (a reasonable argument can even be made for it). Do you want to take your chances in case it's pulled?

Hmmm... got bored and started modifying the Pixel Vision skin. I made a few subtle changes and removed the obnoxious icons. I still need to adjust the spacing in the header some more I think.
Yeah, I considered picking up the KOTOR titles when I first heard about the LucasArts closure, but held off for the time being. This way I suppose I would only spend $2 than I would have for both titles, which isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things. The random Star Wars sale does ring some alarm bells for me in light of Disney's stance towards gaming, but I don't know much about how these things work. I think Wolfenstein got pulled right after a sale went up for example. I wish rights holders would be a little more transparent about these things, but there may be legal reasons why there aren't—again, I don't really know.
yes
YES
The space battles alone in that game are worth the price.
Plus its gone some crazy good mods.

Now that you mention it, I think I might pick these up just in case. I don't trust Disney.

Can someone please explain these Track Mania games to me? I have Track Mania United but it just seems like a bunch of 15 second stunt courses, and I tried several of them. Are there any that have any real racing?
TrackMania is pure time trials if I recall correctly, unless you play online in which case you're still basically racing against other players for the best times.

how come it still says new by my name in blue? it has been a while.
Not a great help but the pcgamingwiki: http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Battlefront_II
says it has controller support as well.
Thanks. Well I guess for 3 bucks I can't go wrong.
Also, just a PSA but I noticed some people use the DualShock 3 with MotionInJoy to emulate a 360 controller. There's an alternative that was posted in another thread that does the same thing without requiring an online connection:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=53988270&postcount=137
Works great for me. Been using my DualShock 3 in all my PC games and it acts just like a 360 controller. Force feedback works and the PS button calls up Steam's Big Picture Mode.

I just started Cthulhu saves the world. I like it so far. The dialog has made me giggle a couple of times already. . . so that is a plus.
Just bought Mini Motor Racing EVO and Snapshot on sale. Mini Motor Racing EVO because I love top-down racers and the Android game is pretty okay for a phone game - plus this won't have ridiculous IAPs and touch controls, and the track editor looks like fun. Snapshot, well, I wanted it since I first saw gameplay videos of it but then I kind of lost interest, hoping it's as fun as it looks.
It's Trials with cars.
A way to use my PS3 controller when the MotionInJoy website is down? Now if only the MotionInJoy website wasn't down so I could figure out how to uninstall it.

Same here.
It's a tad ridiculous that Might and Magic Heroes VI Gold doesn't include the DDE of the base game.

Ah the lovely Saoirse, great actress too

Bought The Force Unleashed 1-2 since I had some money left on my Steam account and apparently Capcom didn't want to sell me SFxT. I enjoyed TFU1 on PS3 few years ago and I probably will like TFU2 enough as well to justify the price.
Only problem is that Fez already got me hooked and now I can't play any other game until I complete it. And I would like to solve all puzzles by myself, but not sure how that will work out.

I'll try the above (update seems to work great, thanks!), but for motioninjoy there is an offline version in their forums (which yes are offline) or this alternative UI with no phoning home:
http://betterds3.ciebiera.net/
Whilst this method emulates a 360 controller nicely, it is nice to have a few more flexible options with the MIJ drivers and a proper UI (such as PS2 emulation, rapid fire etc etc).
