Just the fact that it's written (poorly) in Flash takes it down like seven notches in my book. No native controller support. No hardware acceleration. Loads of bugs and glitches because Flash basically can't handle the huge number of assets used to create the game. Flash's inking looks like shit. List goes on. It actually irritates the hell out of me that what looks like a great game is crippled because of how it was written.
...I'm not even sure I'll even play my copy of BoI until the non-Flash remake hits, honestly! I wish I'd just held out and not bought it because it was announced really soon after I caved

If you play it on a powerful computer, you don't feel Flash, and the game gets playable.

Just imagine if someone gifted it to his new account...
You have 1337 posts. Time to stop posting.
He'd decline it but only after a long winded post about how inconsiderate someone on his friends list is.
I'm 3rd. Not too bad, eh.
HAH!
I... can't believe this post was ever made.

If you don't buy this game you don't deserve to live.

Arma X was down to 5$ a few months ago. It'll never see that price again.
Speaking of which, I really want Duke Nukem + or whatever it's called. Is only the Steam version upgraded? GOG also has it but it's not clear if it has all the stuff from the new patch.

One of my mates from my uni days made a new account for every game he and his siblings bought together. That way they could split the costs of the game without restricting access to only one person at a time like having a shared account would.
Pretty clever, but too much effort and inconvenient for me. Could save a lot of money that way though. Last I checked they had something like 200 accounts.

Steam redeemable code?

See that's just the thing I feel like it'd give me a seizure.
I can imagine their conversations:
Small brother: so whats the password for Call of Duty 4?
Big brother: SAF4G424HHSH
Small brother: nah that's the bad rats account.

Doesn't say it, but you do get a Steam code according to people on other forums.
I actually did this with a friend, although mostly just so I can buy him games to play co-op with.

They used to have the same password for every account, with the account name in the format:
[username][gamename]
e.g. 420blazeCOD4, 420blazeCSS, 420blazeFM11, etc
He used to keep an Excel file of all his games and usernames on Google Docs.

He said "buy it", not "play it".
Ronan wins every time.
I even posted about it in the RTTP thread and no one messaged me!
Gone~
Yeah just figured that whilst checking out. 1p cheaper than the Steam Indie sale too a 68p.
Veritable words to live by!
Just to confirm, it does give Steam redeemable code.
Also it doesn't start at all, usual atioglxx.dll bullshit. And on the same day I spend hours trying to get KotOR2 to run with same error.
edit: Well goddammit, I have Catalyst 13.3 Beta 2 drivers, here's something beta 3 drivers fix: "Resolves OpenGL application issues seen with the AMD Catalyst 13.3 Beta2 driver"
I think only the Steam version has the native OpenGL stuff without the need for external mods, a la EDuke32, and it also comes with 3 extra episodes/campaigns.

I already have 8 new games on my new Steam account.
I regret nothing.

Can't wait until Valve autimatically adds a game to this account you hate and they refuse to remove it. Rinse and repeat.
Also, since your old account won't be used why not give it to someone on GAF. Why let it goto waste?

I'll buy it for my second account.
I'll give you a copy of XCOM and Bioshock 1 for your old account. I'll also throw in a copy of Secret of The Magic Crystals at no extra cost.

You know you're going to get that game removed in a day or two, right?

I didn't. They straight up said they could only delete all the games off my account. (it was actually more of a threat)

How? You must be able to bend the very fabric of space and time. I swear my laptop is going to be launched into the wall at high velocity very soon. And to think earlier Binary Domain was giving me jip.
Fuck YOU!!!!!

I'm curious, what kind of drugs do you need to perform that way? I'd like to buy some
Oh, and I just bought GRID and Fuel from GMG. I played a little of the former some time ago and really liked it, and I hope the latter doesn't become boring with the supposedly huge world.
So worth it. Multiplayer game of the generation.

Seriously..i don't fucking know how.
I was around 20/30 secs.
Nanomachines, I guess.
And the funny thing is that I do worse in normal hexagon.

I can't believe someone is talking about abandoning an entire library of 300+ games and starting over because it's got a few bad games in it. I'm pretty OCD, and that's probably one of the craziest things that even I've ever heard of.
There must be a serious internal conflict going on where seeing some words on your screen is more painful to you then throwing away such a large financial and personal investment. Not just in terms of money spent on the games either, because who knows maybe you're rich, but the time you've put into the games, all your saves, achievements, friends, etc.
Not trying to sound rude by saying this (honestly), but maybe you should consider some therapy of some kind, because if seeing words on your screen affects you that much, then this is not the least of the issues you're going to experience later in life, and you'd be better off facing the problem and trying to resolve it.

GRID's really underrated. I enjoyed it when it came out. Been tempted by FUEL but put off for the sames reasons you sound to be having reservations about.
Well I doft my metaphorical cap to you sir.
