I also made a FemShep for my Renegade playthrough of ME (which was my second overall), so I can totally relate. I never thought of Freudian stuff while doing it, but you may be right, at least on a subconscious level (which is basically what you said, lol).

What are you guys even talking about, Fem Shep is only way to play ME at all!
pfft Freudian stuff

Corrected your typo.
I mean, I'm not sure why people keep calling Commander Shepard FemShep all the time... It's not like there was another choice, was it?

exactly! *highfives*

How does the free Saints Row IV weekend work? When I click the link it takes me to the store page, where all I can do is buy it.

Restart Steam.

You scare me sometimes.

Haha, I should note that I didn't make it: toddhunter did, as thanks for me gifting him The Walking Dead S02. I've yet to use it, though, but I'll get around to that once I'm done with Black Flag and Liberation HD.
 
Whats the best dlc for Darksiders 2? I was thinking about running through the game again and I wouldn't mind some new content.

Personally I preferred Argul's Tomb due to the general aesthetic, but the general consensus is Abyssal Forge. They're all fairly bland and I would advise you skip the Demon Lord Bellai all together; it's set in the 'human' world, essentially making it an expanded version of Darksider's 2 worst level.

Playing a bit of Skyrim, just found out a Mod on the Steam Workshop that's just my thing, rain! You got to love rain in games. Description:

"Rain Impacts include the sounds of rain hitting tents, wood and water dripping near cave entrances on a rainy day."

RionaaM if you are reading this, this one's for you too! ;)

Weird. I redeemed Arma 2 even though I already own it. Expected an error message but now I have two entries for it in my library.

edit: shit, I owned UFO Afterlight too, but forgot. I have two of those in my library now as well. This is going to bug me.
 
Thanks!

Sounds nice. I think I have something that does something similar, but I have over 180 .esp's activated right now anyway. :lol

I try to limit my downloads from the workshop, however, even though the Nexus is probably worse.

All those with a Saoirse avatar should be required to install this Dark Souls mod. ;) (The screenshot is a bit dark; the replacement texture is this.)

There needs to be a mod where Gwynevere's face is replaced with Saoirse's. Maybe Gravelord_Nito should work on it, he has experience with making that gif.

Which mod is that? I used to use Real Clouds but my laptop couldn't handle it a lot of the time.
 
Good to see new faces in the SteamGAF group chat channel! Be even greater to see even MORE faces in there!

We talk about plenty of stuff

*Games
*Music
*Cabbages
*Priit's attempts at getting a job
*How best to cook eggs

Basically it's an extension of this Steam Community but in REAL TIME. There's even genuine Germans in there!

I don't have much, just some things to make the game look a bit better and some sounds too. ;)

I got these two fellow GAFfers:

Sounds of Skyrim - The wilds
Sounds of Skyrim - The Dungeons

The rain is in "The Wilds" Mod I believe and there's a third Sounds of Skyrim for the cities but I didn't want that one.

Oh, I should note that if anyone else is interested in picking it up you need to buy the Viva Media-published "3D" re-release as the original, BitComposer-published release is not Steam-friendly
This is the correct one, right? Looks like it but I'd rather be sure than order a bad $7.50 paperweight.

IIRC...Argul's Tomb and Death Rides.

Reposting my giveaway before I head of to bed:
So I've got some Spare Steam keys I've decided to make a giveaway of.
...thing is I'm not sure if they're still active since some are over a year old ^^; Apologies in advance if the code you'd win is invalid.

I usually pick females but in Mass Effect it was male Shep all the way, and you can damn well bet I was renegade as fuck.

Fair warning to those trying out Saints Row IV, seems it doesn't play too friendly with a number of sound drivers that come with their own audio programs such as Sound Blaster X-Fi or UNi Xonar C-Media.

Usually this just means the game will freeze or crash right at the start as it gets into the main menu if you have it in Full Screen mode. The game will work in Windowed Mode if this is a problem for you, though hopefully someone out there has a better solution than that.

Beautiful! Can I download (and play) the mod despite not owning the game? :p

Seriously, just imagining the stuff you wrote puts a smile on my face. Thank you Monk!

This doesn't make any sense.

How is this any different from selling a movie at your garage sale?

Someone else got the bundle money back then, so if the new guys give Steam keys away now, they're bleeding possible earnings.
Your analogy makes no sense ;)

Was reading the Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition forums on Steam and noticed a large amount of the threads are in Russian. Doesn't mean anything, but I found it interesting and it made me wonder what the demographics are for other games.

Mortal Kombat is the most popular fighting game around here, and probably the only one with universal mainstream recognition, as in most people who don't even play video games probably know what Mortal Kombat is. The other one that is somewhat popular is Tekken, all of the other ones are largely unknown (even Street Fighter, peculiarly enough).

Trying to remember the other recent game that gave me problems like that. But I solved the xonar thing by installing custom drivers for it. I'll have to look it up

Wow, that's really interesting that Street Fighter is relatively unknown there. Thanks for the info!
