I'd say the one thing that irks me about Alan Wake's PC port is that the shadow resolution cast by enemies wasn't increased, so if you happen to light a flare near any physical object, the shadow map will be Minecraftesque. Having said that, though, I love that the engine uses volumetric lighting and so literally every object casts a shadow. I could make a cake joke, but I won't. 
There's no room for error.

There was a 10MB update for Bioshock: Infinite, Does anybody know what it did?
Nothing on my end.
Australians don't deserve updates.
The developer is what makes me question it.

Okay, I've hit my stride with Alan Wake. Made a bit more progress and I'm understanding how it works a bit more. Thanks for the advice, y'all!
Not unless they contain a lethal element.

Legacy of Kain: The MMO
That would be completely fuckin' awful...
It would seem Psyonix has close ties to Epic.
This is it.
Shadow Complex.
Edit: Oh god, I'd forgotten how to spell "Chair".
what, dude? the whole game is a love letter to platforming and it shines as one of the greatest examples in the genre. it's a brilliant game from start to finish, especially the awesomely difficult boss battles.

We need some input from Steam experts here and only experts.
Do you guys see Sleeping Dogs hitting sub 6.00 in any upcoming sales?

My name confirms that I'm an expert and I say: Yes.
The game recently saw a base price drop to $25, which lends itself to such a low price, but I'd say a 66% discount is the best you should hope for, which would put it at $8.50.

Sleeping dogs is a steam key, so doesn't really matter where you buy, I got nearly 20 new games on steam and I didn't get from the steam store.
Plus, didn't you hear? All the hip kids buy from amazon now.
or it'll be filled with sicky weirdos that keep on asking to see how the sausage's madeGlass Rebel Diner is fucking ruined!
also I imagine ordering anything with milk in it at a breastaurant might be equally disgusting
but then again you're dining at a breastaurant, so you're a disgusting person overall
nice

Yea, junior back yourself to that corner and cry.
jesting need4speed, thanks for answering
But im taking it to the limit here!
No really, my game plate is full now. So i won't be able to play it for some months. That's why im asking is will go under 6.
If i was faithful and just go Gabe only, but i like putting the horns to the guy.
You see people, derEXPERTe here says it will so it's setled.
And joe closes with the explosive ending.
Thanks and good night!
Are you sure? When did you last calibrate it?

The man has talked.
If zkylon says: "Refreshment jump from this bridge!"
Then i would instantly... open up Steam and not buy Sleeping Dogs.
Your buying advice is always welcomed man and for the record, suicide ones are not XD

That's not how Steam sales work
personally I'm not a big fan of sleepy dogs because I feel like it had all the potential in the world and then went all RDR and destroyed it with a terrible second act that soured the whole thing for me.
I miss dem guilty pleasures
truth be told after I went freelance and stopped getting them fat paychecks at the end of the month I've had to go guerrilla on steamsales and shit, so that'd been my dogma for a year and a half now.

I think 75% off for $6.25 is going to happen and the best it will be at a steam sale. (such as at gamersgate so http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-SDOGSUS/sleeping-dogs-digital-edition)
Thanks for the insight, I think I put it on my wishlist when it came out but never really bothered to understand what it was all about. I'll make it mine next sale. Also I sent you a friend request, hope that's fineKRZ impressed me so that I felt compelled to post a review. Act II was originally scheduled for release in April, but with a delay into May and it still being a no-show, June/July seems more likely. (Something something Summer Sale something something.
Do people who own the game not have the Season Pass in the DLC section of the game?
You mean 66.0%.
Just checked and yes, it's not there.
The Apogee fan in me is asking me to buy this. And the Jazz Jackrabbit fan is doing the same.
I wish the second level was $5 instead of $10...

People are complaining about the issue on the Steam forums.
Looks like we got the proof we needed that its not rigged.
Will definitely think twice about pre-ordering games from Steam now. Which I rarely do anyways.
Sets a precedent like the Supreme Court.
Roe v. Gabe
Roe v. Gabe, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of pre-orders. Decided simultaneously with a companion case, Sven v. Kotick, the Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a man or woman's decision to pre-order a game, but that right must be balanced against Valve's legitimate interests in regulating pre-orders: protecting publisher reward tiers.
Arguing that Valve's interests became stronger over the course of a pre-order, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying publisher regulation of pre-order reward tiers to the game's release date.

Whilst that is compelling evidence, I would still suggest it is much more likely that preorders are completely rigged....but Capcom just forgot.

I like this answer.
I dunno where else to put this
Does the newer XB360 controller with the revised d-pad still accept the same drivers/wireless adaptor as the old one? I have some crappy bootleg adaptor, which I don't think makes a difference because it uses the MS drivers. My A button is stuck and I figure I might as well get the newer one as a replacement, but I don't wanna be xboned (haha get it) if it doesn't work on PC cause that's the only place I'd use it really.

You're a Cosmo lover too? That's fucking amazing, I'm sending a SteamHug your way!God me and Cosmo go way back.
Getting old ..... fuck it, I am old.
That game, Secret Agent, Jill of the Jungle, Hocus Pocus, Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Duke Nukum, Duke Nukem 3D, Wacky Wheels and Quake defined my childhood. I loved Death Rally too, but I wasn't good at it, and Jazz Jackrabbit 2, which I got for free thanks to a PC encyclopedia and became one of my favorite games of all time. I'd go as far as to call it the best 2D platformer I ever played (yes, I played and loved SMB3 and Sonic 2, and no, I'm not crazy).

I assume you mean the twisty dpad? But either way, all 360 controllers, official and third party, operate on the same drivers.
