You seriously underestimate average horniness/pervyness of internet user.

Heads Up to anyone wanting to play Summoner.

If the setup isn't picking up your GFX card download nglide and you'll be good to go.
Just had to do it myself.
I heard some one mention it only runs at an old resolution, is this true and if so is there anyway to change it through a ini?

Interested in playing it but don't really want to play it in it's native res. I would be better off getting hold of the original ps2 version and playing it on an emulator.

Off topic:

I caught the grand budapest hotel for one of my birthday festivities over the weekend. I'm beginning to see the appeal of Scorsese Romulan. Lovely girl.

On topic:

Dark Souls 2 in 3 weeks! I can't wait to have my ps3 version not spinning in my house.

Yeah I can only get it up to 800x600 and I haven't messed with the ini yet to see if it can go higher.
 
Do you think Dishonored GOTY will go lower than $14.50? It's currently 40% off on GMG and with the voucher code, you get an additional 20% off

Did some more digging. Yeah it looks like as of now there's no real way to get higher resolutions for the game. It apparently goes to 1024 but if you have to use the fix I posted earlier to play it you kinda get negated out of that. Then there is a widscreen patch but it only stretches the image to fit so unsure if that's what you'd actually want.

Blergh that sucks then. Lazy rerelease. :/

Thanks for answering.

It just occurred to me that for the first time since 2010 there's probably not going to be an annual QuakeCon Sale as the new July 17-20 date means the event is likely to overlap with the Summer Sale.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
A very generous person has gifted me a copy of The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, now I can get to know what's it all about :)
Whoever you are, I will find you, and I will hug you.

What an awesome gift. :)

Your in for a treat. Have fun dude!

Maybe it will be merged together, or just 1 special QuakeCon day instead of multiple days.

Volgarr is on sale for another 5 hours. I'm too tired to type anything up. Go buy it. It's great. I still only have 15 people on my list with it. More people own Thi4f.

Those playfire rewards are clutch.

I forgot to buy it last time it was on sale, thanks for the reminder. Looks right up my alley and it's cheap.

Wow. That puts things in perspective.

And if you find the game a bit anticlimactic, take note that the sequel vastly improves upon it and is considered by many to be the best p'n'c adventure game of all time.
 
Just bought Batman Origins. Haven't used steam in a long time. Wish I had the $$ to build a new rig :(

I think I will by fall this year if all goes well
 
oh boy are you in for a treat

Whoever you are, I will find you, and I will hug you.

Best game ever, you are in for a treat.

And after you're done with it, we're all drinking grog!

Amazing game, alongside the sequel.

Wow! That good huh?

The former is a possibility but the latter would be unfair to indies and other publishers (assuming you mean that one day of the Summer Sale is cast aside for a QuakeCon Sale). My guess would be somewhere in the middle: Bethesda's featured deals (some of them, anyway) are shuffled around to fall on the days QuakeCon is running.

Get as many Path of Exile rewards
Get as many Left for Dead 2 rewards
Get as many Awesomenauts rewards
Get as many Chivalry rewards
Get as many Team Fortress 2 rewards

Wish me luck!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I've had a support ticket in with Playfire for over a week now requesting assistance with properly linking my Steam profile, and I haven't got a response yet. It says that my Steam profile is already linked, but that I have 0 games. Everything in my "play activity" section says Jan 1, 1970.

I've unlocked tons of achievements that should have earned rewards, but so far nothing.

I think I'm just going to give up on the service.

How does Broken Age compare?
It doesn't and you shouldn't.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the first part of Broken Age, but it's nowhere near the same quality as the three Monkey Island games. That's not a criticism, though. Just a handfull of Point & Click's are.

Haven't played Broken Age yet, sorry.
Although, if older PnC players are to be believed, it should have been renamed Broken Promises.
Yeah. No. Yes.
It's a modern P&C with the quality and polish of an old Lucasarts classic. Puzzles are fun and logical, but fairly simplistic and even quite rare. Didn't really have a problem with that, but the small amount of hotspots did dissapoint. Gameplay wise it feels made for mobile devices.

But, just to be clear once more; I frigging loved it and it's already one of the best adventures from the last couple of years. Just not a new "old-school" P&C like promised.

Lies about Volgarr:

- There are no checkpoints
- There are no saves
- 2 hardcore 4 me
- Bad controls/platforming (yes, I've heard this one)

Some true shit:

There is a checkpoint at the halfway point of every level. It's a soft checkpoint, so it resets on restart. The game saves after every boss, and a warp point opens up to the left of every level. The game is not easy, but it's also not on some "I wanna be the guy" shit. You live
/die
and you learn. The game is about leveling yourself up as a player. The second level is probably the hardest, and can be a roadblock for many. The rest of the game is a piece of cake by comparison (but oh so good). ToddHunter caught the holy ghost and breezed through the rest of the game.

I hate that they pushed this as some super hard game. People took it as being unfair or unbeatable. It's just really well made. A great example of fantastic game design.
