I'm considering learning German to play the game the way it was intended by the authors.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I recently did an HTPC build running XBMC and MythTV under linux and let me tell you, every time I see a "PVR Started" notification in the right hand corner, it feels like an achievement.

I've played the demo for Binary Domain and the action is great, blowing robots apart is endlessly satisfying, and your weapons feel powerfulAlright fellow GAFfers I can't decide to get either Alpha Protocol or Binary Domain and I'm only getting one (and it's only because I want a little thing for myself) so I'll let you all decide.
Vote now for such hard choice in here:
http://strawpoll.me/1173331
I might then play the game live for those that care about such things but I'm still learning about this streaming thing (and I'm also saving for a Mic and a HD Webcam).
Voting result may not be the final decision.
Alpha Domain or Binary Protocol are not possible answers.
But I voted for Alpha Protocol, because it's supposed to a great game and I value narrative and choice
Alright fellow GAFfers I can't decide to get either Alpha Protocol or Binary Domain and I'm only getting one (and it's only because I want a little thing for myself) so I'll let you all decide.
Binary Domain is the easy answer. Bo and Cain are worth the price of admission alone.
I'm not going to talk about how crappy Alpha Protocol is again.

I don't consider my bowel movements language either, so no argument there.
Do you just leave the thing running all the time? I never could run a media server because that part always bothered me. I'm old skool. Computers need their sleep.

Interesting. You could buy the game for $1.99, use SAM for the achievements (which gives you nearly $4 of GMG credit), plus the value of the trading cards on the Steam market. Not bad.

you should, it's such a lovely language
i wonder how good/bad the english translations where at that time...

Alpha Protocol is mine, all mine!
Been waiting for it to go on sale for a loooong time.
It was on sale in December - I picked it up for $3 from GMG. Still haven't found the time to play it yet, unfortunately.

Man these dungeons are bland in Oblivion and Shivering Isles. It's like if the main quest of Skyrim had me go in one of those Dwarven dungeons for every other quest.

A few weeks on and I'm still tweaking everything. You basically have two options:
1) (What I'm doing now) Look at the "timer" section and see if you have a recording for the middle of the night or for a time when you won't be home; Set custom shutdown timer to automatically shut down the computer after the recording is done.
2) (What I want to set up): a custom sleep timer that, when the computer is put to sleep mode, checks the status of the recording timers and then automatically sets a wake command for just before the start of the recording.
Either way, I'd still probably turn the thing off every night.
seems like a choice between gameplay or story, never played AP myself but BD has a heavy focus on being an action shooter with cutscenes here and there, and picking the right answers to build up character affinity, I expect AP to be more focused on dialogue and such, BD is fun tho

I've been told that GMG/PlayFire has ways of tracking if you've used SAM to unlock achievements for credit and banning your account from the program. Is it #TRUTHFACT? I don't know. But PlayFire/GMG tech/devs read this thread, so if they were somehow oblivious to SAM, they're not now.
I've not paid a lot of attention to the program because my account is still screwed up from having different GMG and PlayFire email addresses.

Yeah that's a bit salty, glad I didn't buy it at the time of release.

Been doing it for the last couple months - never had a problem. Besides, I doubt they can track anything. The only risk is if you're playing VAC-enabled games or not.
Still, it's a great program - can't complain about free credit. I certainly buy enough from them as is.
what bundle?
I did. I'd be less annoyed if I actually liked the game though.
Binary Domain had a surprisingly effective story. But don't just take my word for it:

So I was looking at the God Hand on Steam thread. While that's all fine and dandy.
What do you all think are the chances of Dino Crisis hitting steam if I were to perchance push for support on the matter? It is the 15th anniversary of DC after all this year and the least capcom could do is throw us a bone with something.

Careful, it might be a zombie space dino bone...
I would appreciate it if they did put 1 & 2 on Steam, but I have a feeling we'll get RE1-3 first.

Hey guys. I've been a lurker for a long time, but finally a couple of weeks ago I decided to join in the fun. To celebrate, and as thanks for everything I learned from you guys, I thought of giving away a few keys I collected over the years.
They are not very recent, and most of you probably already have them, but I hope they will please someone.
By the way, my Steam friend list is a little barren, so it would be nice if anyone added me. My profile is http://steamcommunity.com/id/falexandre

Binary Domain is a very awesome shooter, played with a controller makes it godly.
Wish there were more games like it out there.
Edit: And I see CoH2 won, bleh.

I just looked it up. Apparently there was not only Dino Crisis on Dreamcast but there is also a version that was on windows back in 2000.
I would love to play this game again.

Eufloria looks interesting - guess it's an artsy game from the screenshot. Thank you!

Never knew DC 1 and 2 actually got a PC release. Would be interesting if they can get past whatever license issues they stumble upon and get it released on Steam.
I for one would like to see what it'd look like with some fan mods.
Oh, good. I'm not the only one.
I want to try this one day, but on one of those really small, cheap ass computers.

I didn't spend much time with it, and it was a while ago, but I think it had a few RTS elements.
Killer is Dead is coming to PC and people arent freaking out? or is this very old news and the freak out phase has gone while I was sleeping?
Thanks and friended, welcome to SteamGAF!

Both Dino Crisis 1 and 2 had PC ports. Much like RE 1-3 did. So a lot of the work for porting them over is already done. While Resident Evil would more than likely happen first, if those hit DC 1 and 2 might as well come along with. FF7 and FF8 releases show that people don't mind the older graphics or static backgrounds even on their newer computers.
But there's been no word from Capcom on even RE 1-3 hitting steam (Which would be the first step) once Sven left. Think he was the only person pushing for them. But then again RE4 came out of nowhere for Steam and that definitely took more work than some old ports would.

I'd much rather have a ports of Killer 7, No More Heroes and No More Heroesesperate Struggle. I have not enjoyed Suda's recent output--Shadows of the Damned, Lollipop Chainsaw or Killer is Dead--as much as his earlier games. I think this quote from that RPS article kind of crystalises my thoughts on what little I bothered to play of Killer Is Dead...
"Grindhouse trashiness" feels like a pretty accurate description.

Does the credit take a while to kick in? I got some achievements and nothing happened.

Quoting for the new page for those that care about this silly Vote, will grab something to eat (and coffee perhaps) and will be making my purchase based on the winning vote.
Will also make a small Stream test to see if I can get something with an acceptable quality.
