You know, I was going to go back to my old avatar not long after I began using Saoirse avatars but Salsa told me not to; far be it from me to disappoint a girl (lol), so I figured I'd stick with them for a while. Before I knew it, though, it'd become my quirk -- my distinctive feature, the element by which people recognise me -- like how, outside of the occasional isolated incident to the contrary, Zelda Williams' rejection broke Chinner and now he only makes joke posts or how blame space only uses capital letters when he's being particularly serious. While, sure, there are moments when this thread is lacking in Steam-related news where we go off on little Saoirse-related tangents, I'd like to to that that, most of the time, I'm contributing in a more meaningful manner, so I thought nothing of the identity I'd inadvertently crafted for myself.
And for the record, I'm not an ironic joke character: yes, I do think she's pretty and the finest actress of her generation, but it's not as though I'm, say, saving up for a trip to Ireland or began pursuing a career in film solely for the chance to meet her one day. I'm just a fan, not a hopelessly and dangerously infatuated weirdo.
I make use of categories only when I add non-Steam shortcuts. They go under "Non-Steam Shortcuts".
Books for a pound? That's a bargain if I ever saw one. I can't imagine a library of over 100000 books, that's like a reader's wet dream.Oh it's my pleasure. It will be simple enough to check both of those aspects when I next go into town, probably in a couple of days when I have to go in anyway. I'm hoping that a local used book shop will have it. Given he has stock of hundreds of thousands of books and sells them all for £1 each, I think it's pretty likely that he'll have it
Thanks and I don't worry about it. Each to their own and all that.
Hah, I grew up hearing that phrase. I hated it when I was a child but now it makes me smile.
Yes, I was very impressed. Frankly I wasn't expecting to be given how everyone in gaming practically fellated the game to death. So I tried the demo out of curiosity rather than expectation and was very quickly enamoured. I haven't played enough of it to encounter the "bad gameplay" yet but given that I'm not much for FPS games it might be okay for me. We'll see
I expect I'll have the same experience as I did with BioShock. Massively fellated game where I go in with no real expectations and then BOOM! Heh, I hope so. I've got the demo installed so will give the first game a crack soon. I'm not a big Batman fan either despite growing up reading the comics and watching the tv show etc. Frankly I always thought the Batman character was a bit of a nob but there you are.
(getting way too off-topic here, sorry)
Batman:AA was one of those cases where all the hype and praise is well deserved. I found it to be as good as everyone says. Another example would be the original Deus Ex: there's a reason why it's considered a timeless classic. I hope I can feel the same with System Shock 2 when I finally get to play it.
I got the game a long time back from some Humble Bundle. Don't think it included the expansion. Apparently you need it for the patch too?
Could be to do with the Mac version hasn't been released yet. It's still listed as coming soon on Overhaul's site. Same with the iPad and Android links on their site, they don't work yet. More than likely it will be added latter but don't quote me on that. Though one example recently is Brutal Legend. First offer up as PC only but when the Mac and Linux versions were finished it was added as SteamPlay. Sam and Max Season 3 was the same as well. Though with all the recent kerfuffle over the distribution rights recently it's a surprise it's available at all.
Yes you are. And you know it.

drag and drop would be spectacular. Hell, I've finally got my categories to sync between my two computers which seemed like a massive step.
*grabs pitchfork* You have to gift me TimeShift to atone for your sin.
Atone not condemn.
C'mon Jase, he probably said that as a joke. Nobody thinks you're a joke character
You are very helpful indeed, and a great contributor in this thread. And I'm being honest.
Guys, we need to give poor Jase a group hug, I think he's feeling sad.
Hmm... I think so, yes. Well, you can get it during the upcoming sale if you are liking it. Your progress should carry over.
What pretty women?
Also don't they usually add new trading cards around this time by now? Gabennnnnnnnnnnnn.

Just played Dust untill I got to the village. Amazing game so far. The combat is very fun and the soundtrack is godly!
I actually found this program for managing library categories: https://code.google.com/p/depressurizer/
Tried this out just now and it seemed to work pretty well. Much better than how Steam does it anyway. There's a short guide on how to use it in on the 'Wiki' tab at the top.

Aw heck JaseC, I was only joking, mate.

I concur, random impulse buy turned out to be great. And I'm not a fan of Indie games.

It's noon PST, and there are still no new cards. What's going on over there at Valve?

Speaking of cards, anyone knows if Dust is getting them? I'd craft a badge for that.

Ah sorry, I missed that. Great news, thanks.
Probably just going to a one day per week release like last week now.
Good.

Man the pathfinding and AI for the villagers in From Dust can be downright infuriating at times. It makes maps take much longer than they would if the villagers were even remotely competent. It also doesn't help that they refuse to acknowledge orders sometimes and just fuck around in their current village.
Otherwise the game is great.

Yeah, though I wasn't referring to the amount of posts, but to their quality. He's often helping people with their PC/games/purchases issues for example, among other things.
I say we all collect some money and buy him TimeShift, to let him know we still love him.

Don't let anyone keep you down for having a waifu, Jase. At this point I couldn't, nay, refuse to see you with another kind of avatar.
They might have ran out of keys. Fairly common occurrence, you will just have to be patient.

this thread got way too serious
re: my recent Resident Evil 6 purchase
This is the greatest game ever. Why? First time you boot it, it takes you to the PC settings. Praise Capcom and whoever ported this.

Alright, I was hoping that was the case, thanks.

Meanwhile, GRID 2 launched in an 800x600 window, showed a bit of story and threw me into a race before even showing a menu. *shame shame gesture*
And XCOM as well!

RE6 did have some nice PC features. Keeping split screen coop around and the graphics options were ace.

I'm pretty sure it was handled by QLOC. Shoutouts to great porting teams like QLOC and Devil's Details (Sonic Gen/BD).

JaseC is a cool guy. He posts a lot and don't afraid of anything.
Dirt 3 also launched in a tiny window the first time I booted it up.
I can't believe it. Finally someone saying it's great like I always do. Every time someone asks about the game I feel like the only one who has kind words for it
Sure, it could have been tons better but it's a really nice game as it is. Those water effects won me over at first sight.Pretty common for PC games to start at a low resolution. They don't know what hardware to expect, so start low to insure all computers can boot it.

Too bad there isn't a mechanism to check the desktop resolution.

Yes, they seemed to have adopted this. More recent games will boot in the correct resolution.

I love the gameplay ideas and the art is fantastic, but the damn villagers keep screwing me over.
