If you could sell only the warhammer ones minus Dawn of War gold, I'll buy them from you.

I'm only interested in Retribution and DS2 out of the whole pack. If someone could offer me those...

I know it says this when updating, but it has never, ever happened to me. I own 90% of the GFWL library at this point, so I think if it were to happen, it should have by now. It restarts the game, that's it. Restarting the whole computer is a bit extreme, I don't see why it would require this.
*I own RE: ORC and have applied the update recently; it only restarted the game. Do you mean GFWL updating in game, or the actual game update? Even if it were GFWL, it still shouldn't restart your computer. lol. Weird.
Do you think I should continue using 310.90 or revert back to 310.70?

I would be interested in Homefront.
Yes my MS brand receiver died and the solder trick fixed it. Been working fine ever since.

Damn, that M$ bundle is too damn awesome to miss out on, on top of that I don't own a single game from it.
Anyone have a spare EC credit to let me "use"?
I'll send $5 instantly on Paypal as gift and then you can send me the keys after.
I'd really be grateful if anyone can help me out.

When does the indie bundle with MotN hit the road? And are all of them Steam keys?

Steam update. No idea what, but it's caused all my games to redownload. Again.
To answer your second question: Yes.
A quick heads up that this give-away is ending in a few hours~

My steam client won't open at the moment, its saying update can not be performed in offline mode, even though i am obviously on-line. weird, and pretty damn annoying as I was going to play dark souls.
Cheers man.

I thought Max Payne 3 was a lot of fun. Mouse aiming felt amazing, and I have friends who swear by the controller. It also has a pretty good pc port. $10-15 is an easy buy if you like 3rd person action shooters.
Agreed, good game. Multiplayer is pretty fun too for a match or 2, though it has a lot of cheaters so..

Damn, totally regret picking up DoW Franchise now lol. What to do?

Anyone still has a coupon they wont use anymore? 
Buy it and then sell me nights for 3 bucks.
I have everything else that interests me in that bundle.

Finished Far Cry 3 after 14h or so. Deleted it for good and I won't return to it.
Game was good for about 8 hours and I loved the free nature of it but after a while I got bored of assault rifles and the samey enemy encounters over and over and over again. The AI just wasn't that engaging and I ended up playing the second half with my signature sniper rifle almost exclusively. I won't lie though, you got a lot of tools and the skill-tree (which you shouldn't have trouble maxing out by the end of the game) really opens up the gameplay. Maybe I'd have enjoyed it more if there were more missions where you're a tad bit restricted but still fairly open like the one where you have to infiltrate that shipwreck. The game was at its weakest when you had some tubular me-too CoD-like levels where you were just running down some corridor but luckily there weren't many of those. Shitty QTE boss-fights can go die in a fire as well.
The story was simple and serviceable enough and I preferred that there was a bigger focus on the characters which were very entertaining for the most part. Some scenes really stood out though:
My favourite part about the game was the island though. I love shooters as much as the next guy but I think I'd have vastly preferred an adventure/exploration game over what we ultimately got. Driving, swimming, gliding or even just running around was some of the most fun I ever had in a video game and it was so exciting finding new ruins by yourself. It's an incredibly pretty game and with some bigger and more complex temples it could have been amazing. But it wasn't supposed to be.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the first half a lot and the second half much less. I'm looking forward to Far Cry 4 but if they don't improve some of the issues I have with the game, I won't return.
Verdict: Buy it but I got it for ~9$ so my judgement might be clouded.

-
Leaving Liza was a really weird scene. I don't know if I was meant to feel awful there or feel anything at all because it took me ages until I even noticed that she was Jason's girlfriend. Just felt awkward.
-
Saving Keith from the rapist was very weird as well and I really didn't see the point of it. The writer said in an interview with RPS that the point was to not give the player the satisfaction of having the rape addressed and make him feel uncomfortable. Well, it did make me feel uncomfortable knowing that there are people out there who wrote that heavy-handed scene.
-
Now torturing Riley was another story. After initially thinking "he is not dead after all! video games!" torturing him was pretty bad and actually made me feel uncomfortable.
-
Vaas' monologue about insanity was pretty great and I was disappointed that Hoyt didn't even come close to him. The latter was a pretty standard villain in comparison.
-
Both endings were pretty awful. Fucking Citra and getting killed or have Dennis kill her by mistake. Just... whatever.

Just a heads up: Condemned for $3 is live now. All of the following are $3 each for 24 hours and require Steam:
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Hell Yeah!
Renegade Ops
Viking: Battle for Asgard
Space Siege
Voucher code GMG20-PJFEW-Y16HK
I'd pay 2.50 for MX vs ATX Reflex.

I wonder if the Condemned code works in germany.
Someone has to try it. :-D

"Congratulations, you now have 13 DOTA 2 invites to give away!"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EDIT: Also, I have £2 store credit on GMG and want to buy Condemned. If I use the 20% off code it gets it down to £2 but just takes me to the checkout with Card/PayPal etc. How do I get it to use my credit?

That MS Arcade bundle is totally saucy. I already spent my one coupon (got a free Hotline Miami, so no regrets there) but I'm still going to pick up the MS bundle for the full $10. I love XBLA games, but at this point I've been avoiding them for the last year or two until I hear about some commitment with them working on the next Xbox version. So I don't have any of the bundle games yet. I think Deadlight is the only one that I'm not excited about.

2D old school Japanese insanity.
Shit. 553 Steam games and just now finally crossed the "you already own this" milestone with Max Payne 3, of all games.
So sidescrolling platformer/shooter thingy? Eh, already spent too much on Viking, SS, and Condemned.
Isn't the game French?

He paid for Space Siege so he definitely spent too much. :O Hell Yeah would have been the better option.
Hell Yeah is terrible... so maybe.

Arkedo is French? My mind was just blown. It reminds me of Gunstar Heroes on acid.
