is it possible/acceptable to play euro truck sim w/o a wheel? seems like a giant pain in the ass w/ kb/m

Yeah, this is probably the biggest question I have before I go and buy the game. After seeing that Quick Look I'm really tempted but since I don't plan on buying a wheel anytime soon, makes me a bit unsure about whether or not to buy.

Do you have an iPad or better yet an iPhone or a Mini? I recommend mungogamer. I was just playing GRID with it, it's perfect for people without a real wheel. There are probably alternatives for Android and such but maybe not as good, I don't know.

There's a Lite version as well, I don't remember what it limits, probably the customization of the layout and stuff.

Edit: also, the app hasn't been updated for a while, it probably isn't good for iPhone5 and it isn't universal, but I'm using it on an iPad2 and it's fine, which is why I suggested the Mini there, it's probably even better on that.

Edit again: oh shit, the app doesn't seem to be available anymore in my region... I hope it's not taken down everywhere and I got your hopes up for nothing. Maybe you can find some decent alternatives now you know this is possible though.

Playing my copy successfully with an xbox controller, if possible, do the same.

I find it incredibly lame that Dawn of War 2 synchs with the cloud but doesn't bring any of your campaign over. Whats the fucking point?

Ah well, that app wouldn't save you if you need more buttons, it only has like a handful to map, which is enough for most racing games (except things like that NFS one that has different weapons etc) but not for that stuff I guess. I was just suggesting it for the sweet tilt steering. I don't think wheels have that many buttons either, you'll need to use the keyboard for stuff I guess.

I think I already know the answer to this, but just in case it's different, I'll ask anyway:

I own the Sims 3 base game on Origin, but not Steam. I assume if I wanted to buy some expansion packs and register them on Origin I'd have to buy the Sims 3 base game on Steam as well before I can buy any expansions?

Todat was the first day that valve gave me loads of Dota 2 invites 13 in total. Played almost 4 hours but i like the game,need to learn a bit more of it but to me even the community is better. HoN are such horrible people ugh. Yeah i know most can be harsh even in dota 2 but the matches i played i did not get any harsh comments.

But i started playing since TB made those video's. He is not the best but through him i learned a few basic things. And yes i always try to buy a courier + fying at the beginning.

Only buy the courier if you're a support. If you're a carry you need all the gold you can get.

Pretty much what Steve said. Only buy the base level courier if you're a support. You need the rest of your gold to buy basic consumable health and mana items and some starting gear.

If you're just staring off, you can follow the store recommendations as far as what items you should buy for your character. Usually supports, like Crystal Maiden, have courier and wards in their recommended items list in the left of the store panel.

Sounds fair. Now, where's the ability to record game videos with Steam, Valve? Didn't they state that they were working on this some time ago?

I don't believe so. But I'm sure Valve is free to add Twitch.tv's SDK to Steam any time they wish!

Well that's just my luck. Of course they would add a new SKU for Civ V Gold right after I buy GOTY, G&K, Korea, and Wonders individually.

Which one of you did that 1080 duck spin right before I chopped off your head on the field map, lol.

It's either lmb greatsword spam or halberd poke spam, take your pick.
Click to expand...

I'm probably guilty of some LMB spam, but I did try to mix it up as much as possible. I'm just really new at the game, so when things go awry, I panic :S.

Also, leading with a fake miss and then comboing after when the opponent comes in works a lot of the time, so some people might think that's "spam."

Oh, and I thought I recognized the name "Nabs" but I couldn't quite place it. It's all coming back now that I see your avatar :).

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Don't worry, there's really no such thing as "lmb spam." A person doing that can be easily countered.

Really, the answer to anyone complaining is "get better."
