It took me 16 hours download the unlock for my preloaded copy of Half-Life 2 on launch night and the key was something like 100 KB. That is the main thing that sticks with me.
Me either. But aside from Valve games, I was completely indifferent to the store until that first summer sale magically hit.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
EA can die for all that I care. I don't want to touch the new Mass Effect, nor Medal of Honor, nor the Mickey Star Wars games.

Can we post freebies here or is there another thread for that?
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
People do post freebies here and it's generally OK but if, like, 20 posts in a row are people giving stuff away we generally nudge people to the "Free to a Good Home" thread or the Steam Trading thread or the general purpose Buy/Sell/Trade thread.
But if it's just a quick one-off, no harm putting it here.

Dammit, Steam, why'dja have to go and put Sins on sale TODAY?
I just found out my paycheck's been delayed.
Its a midweek madness deal. It'll be up until Thursday when the Weekend deal starts.

I think the increasing costs of making games will ensure that publishers can't just ignore the PC gaming market like they did at the start of the 360/ps3 generation. Worst case is some lazy ports which we've all gotten used to over time. PCs will brute force them as always and you'll likely still get the best possible experience on the PC platform.
I bought HL2 in on launch day (November 2004) when I was still in college and I couldn't decrypt the game until I got home for the holidays (December 2004). Steam was hopeless back then.
The conference today confirmed I will never get a xbone. That's something positive I guess.

I actually had it unlock the day it came out. I remember accidentally recording like 10 minutes of gameplay with Fraps in the hovercraft.

I should have played HL2 on hard the first time through, this is way better than I remember.
lol I wouldn't want one even if Gold was free.

I am only looking forward to Valve's controller. I want it to be the face of pc gaming like steam is. sure 360 controller is standard but its still xbox,i rather valve which is the face of pc gaming standardize the controller.
Finished Prototype. The last few missions are repetitive (actually, all of them are) and frustrating, as Alex, despite being an overpowered mutant, is actually pretty weak against those endgame enemies.
It's a fun game, though a little longer than I would have liked. I don't see myself playing the sequel anytime soon.

The analog sticks on the new Xbox One controller are pretty fucking sexy.
But I'm ready to ditch these 360 controllers as well.

You aren't a whiny underpowered bitch in the sequel thankfully.
That's good to hear. Still, I'd rather not burn myself with the franchise, and wait for a while (like 2 or 3 decades) before jumping to it
Is the PC version okay now? I quite like the first Prototype but I remember when P2 launched there was a lot of backlash because it ran like poo.

I wasn't locking 60 but I never dropped below 30 either.

I don't care if it's old. With everything being about Xbox One, I'm going to relive this as many times as I want to.
Wait, what is that tweet implying? Is it sarcasm or are they announcing something?

I'm getting some occasional low framerates in Half Life 2.
I just upgraded my PC (Core i5, GTX 660ti, 8gb RAM, 256 SSD) and I think I should be able to get a rock solid framerate in HL2 at all times with everything maxed, right?
I turned the AA down to 4xMLAA (or whatever the setting is) and that helped, but I still get a low framerate in weird spots, like when I look at a wall when you first get out into the open in City 17.
It could be the vsync because I was getting a TON of screen tearing when I started it up, but I couldn't get triple buffering to work and I HATE screen tearing. Is there some other setting I can mess with to increase my performance?

Mocking Xone conference.
Way worth it at $5
It looks like it uses Micro USB, so I feel like it'll work perfectly fine.

Idk, I kinda regret spending 5 dollars on it.
I regret both the 32 bucks it costed and the 13.5 hours I put into it.
I enjoyed it. Then again, I've never played a hitman game and I'm not exactly a stealth aficionado so I don't know what's considered an amazing stealth game.
I've spent $5 on worse things than it.
Its less about the money and more about the time spent playing an objectively mediocre game.
Just a maint announcement. The guy running the twitter account has been doing similar maint tweets the past few weeks. Here's some of the other recent ones:
Gotcha. I've spent more time doing worse shit too lol
sure
edit: too late : (
