I was wondering if that was gonna be edited with a b10 or other. I was right.

[Tenrius]

From the old thread:

So was anybody able to get a 360 controller (I have Logitech F710, it has XInput) to work with Dead Rising 2: Off the Record? It seems to be a common issue, people recommend to use xbox360ce for whatever weird reason, but it still didn't work for me. The issue is that the game just doesn't recognize the gamepad, although I can pull up the GFWL interface with the Guide button.

Eh, I was hoping one of my thread title suggestions would be selected, but oh well. Isn't "Newell you're small time" at least a bit funny? I liked it, myself!

 

[jediyoshi]

OT2 less than a month into the year

 

[catabarez]

Jeez that thread went by fast.

 

[BorntoPlay]

[kutthoat5150]

[FiveElementNinja]

At this rate, we better start coming up with new thread titles early and keeping a list going.

 

[zychi]

Best thread on gaming side! Can't believe we're on ot2 already

 

[Parsnip]

Oh nice.

It's not so much the smell of new thread, it's more that the old thread started getting a little too funky.

Or maybe it was me.

 

[The Red Wizard]

With this speed, I wonder what number Steam threads will be on at the end of the year

We should have a sweepstake or something. Either way, I think we'll get to 14.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Oh dear lord I really need to do some work and stop posting here.

January is a slow month.

 

[fantomena]

[TC McQueen]

Did they change Saoirse's face for the definitive edition?

 

[Tellaerin]

I'm wondering if we're getting more posters in these threads overall. It'd be interesting to get a count of the number of unique posters per Steam thread along with the "wall of shame" totals.

 

[Copons]

Wow new thread such fun much entertainment


BTW: some updates on me building my PC (aka the most interesting thing happening in SteamGAF today )

1) apparently the CPU went in fine, but of course I'm totally waiting for a fireball coming out of everything as soon as I switch the power on

2) my cat jumped on the table when I was installing the heatsink, I was about to kill her

3) mobo grid is apparently the hardest thing to figure out together with the huge quantity of screws the came with the case. I really don't know what to do with them, so I'll probably just feed them to the cat and call it a day


And now! Onto plugging every plug on every pin around!
If you don't hear from me in the next couple of days, I'll probably be struck dead, so make sure to name OT3 to me, k thx

For the new thread, a reminder to those that might have missed it, but there are a number of sales going on at Amazon with various Steam games such as GTA titles, Ace Patrol, Max Payne, etc.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000728511

Also various other deals not listed there such as Thief Collection, Hitman Collection, Sexy Beach ... okay maybe not that last one.

I hope you guys are happy, this thread lasted 22 days.

I am happy, t'was a good old thread of many silly moments in that post-sale feeling.

Onward with this new thread.
