arma 3, £16.50. y/n?

Yes! Where from?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Whatever you do, don't get desperate and buy a Play & Charge kit.

Complete shit.

Agreed over priced and it'll crap out sooner than you think.
Bought two back in the day and both died within a few months.

Don't worry, I'll never be that desperate :lol

 

[Stitch]

I tried playing deadly premonition and i get like 10fps, I can play battlefield 3 with more fps than that, I am guessing it is just a horrible port and I should give up? I was thinking maybe its just the rain in the first part of the game.

Anyone know of a decent Eneloop charger? I'm still using this ancient Radio Shack charger that is dual NiMH / NiCd that takes the better part of a day to fully charge a AA Eneloop. I think I've heard of ones that can charge one in around 5 hours though -- is this true?

It's usually not a major issue since I have two sets of 2xAAs that I cycle between.

(And yes, I did briefly consider the 360 Play and Charge kit)

 

[AHA-Lambda]

my local hmv

anyone in the UK check if your hmv has anything good, mine also has injustice for £10.50

Oh yeah forgot about that.
I heard that actually works which is just weird.

Is there anyone interested in hosting a Divinity Original Sin 2 players pack in $$?

Someone tried to change my Steam password. I have Steam Guard activated, and my e-mail and Steam password are different, also I activated the two-step verification system for my e-mail. I should be safe, right?

eneloop 4 pack and charger from $18.35 from Amazon

Apologies if you are not in the US.

You can get eneloop Quick Chargers and batteries that will charger faster (2 hours) but you will pay more.

I can't comment on the Eneloop side as I am not familiar with those but in general have a google for 'smart battery charger'. The chargers that tend to be sold in most brick and morter retailers are 'dumb' i.e. they just charge for a set time, irrespective of the remaining charge on the battery and so on. This can lead to overcharging which degrades the efficacy and life of the battery. A smart charger does not do this and does more besides.

This is the one I invested in a few years ago when I needed frequent battery changes for my Wiimotes:

However, I would recommend you do some research as I suggest above as this might not be the best, most up to date model for your particular needs.

I use the one that came with the pair of AAs I bought. I've never timed how long it takes to charge but it has to be between 6-8 hours because I usually charge them before I go to bed and when I wake up they're ready.

I bought the bundle but according to my profile page I didn't pay enough to receive Steam keys. That can't be right.

Edit: I don't think I did buy it, actually. I'm useless.

I should have a GamersGate key that is still unused. Can't guarantee it but check your PMs in a sec.

Let's see if someone knows what's going on with my library on Steam:

I bought the humble bundle with the ARMA games, and when I tried to redeem ARMA 2, I couldn't because I already have the game.

so far, so good. Nothing special if your library is fairly large

But if I click on the store page for the game, Steam allows me to buy it for myself again, as if I didn't have bought the game before.

I know it's not a big deal, but my OCD would like an explanation that I'm not able to give.

 

[Anustart]

The is a super late post, but did you forget about the very beginning of the game when the bigass cube talks to you using that very alphabet? (It comes up again later too.) I don't remember finding any obvious hints for it, but it's probably meant to be solvable the same way you'd crack any cryptogram found on a newspaper puzzle page.

As for the button codes, those are explicitly revealed to you in a room that you presumably hadn't gotten to yet...and if you can't figure out how to string them together right then, step-by-step instructions are in yet another room.

You can't* solve every secret room in Fez on the first pass. So if you're stumped, move on and come back later. You might get an idea or simply learn something new about the game world that's applicable from a different room.

* maybe it's technically possible, but highly improbable unless you're using a FAQ

Ahh, probably forgot about it. I started my playthrough then put it down for a couple months!

Feel free to deposit any and all unwanted Guilty Gear keys in my PM box.

And Metal Gear Rising keys.

And Prey keys.

No explanation I can give, but it's the same for me.

Still have 2 copies of unopened Prey left. GAF didn't seem interested last time, despite all the posts!

I was wondering the same exact thing actually. Enhanced Steam says I don't own Arma 2 but it's in my library. Might be an error on Valve's end.

There are two Arma 2 apps in the registry (one US, one ROW), but they're flagged to be ignored by Steam when it comes to buying/activating a sub, so if you own one you can't have the other. Due to my love for region-specific apps I was burned by this during the Winter Sale.

 

[Kiru]

Come to papa!

I'm confused. Are you german ? lol

 

[C00kie M0nster]

Come to papa!

What's the shipping on something like that?

Spoiler

I'm assuming you're in the US.

 

[jshackles]

I'm confused. Are you german ? lol

No but it was the cheapest place I could find a physical copy of 007 Legends that activates on Steam.

What's the shipping on something like that?

Spoiler

I'm assuming you're in the US.

Yeah I'm in the US, shipping was another EUR 3,24. All together cost was $31.93.

I see. What people will do to get their games on steam...

 

[Mr. Luchador]

What do you want for it?

£5 or a game from my wishlist?

I don't know really, not one to haggle or sell usually. Often just give stuff away to people I like in Steam chat, such as Dunder!

 

[C00kie M0nster]

Wow that's actually not bad at all. I was considering doing this a week or two ago after I bought Blur and Riddick but I'd prefer to wait and see what happens to the 007 gaming license. The license is too big to just be tossed aside in my opinion.

 

[Deques]

Thanks, I might get the Sanyo charger + battery bundle. Never hurts to have some spares on hand, since I tend to have to swap them out of my 360 and into my camera all the time.

Btw, I noticed just now that the label on the 360 says "2 x 1.5V". Wonder why they bother, when 1.2V rechargeables work just fine, without the environment killing waste.

I'm obviously missing out on a lot by not being in Steam chat... but I can't really use that at work. Sadness.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Pretty much. You really get to know people once you hang out for a while, and most of us are pretty friendly and generous.

Too bad I didn't buy that bundle.

May I beg for one? Please, pretty please??

[fozzy]

Thinking of playing Dead Space next. Played quite a bit of it on console. But should use controller again, or is it better with mouse and keyboard?

 

[Divius]

Pretty much. You really get to know people once you hang out for a while, and most of us are pretty friendly and generous.

I think I was in the steam chat once, and then I got kicked.

 

[xelios]

Nvm, just saw your price

That's only like, $8-ish, which is pretty much the minimum cost of finding it yourself somewhere and having it shipped. I haven't seen anyone selling Prey keys that cheap on Steam/GAF before, so that's a great price.

 

[Vazra]

Let's meet at the chat when gaf is down!

It will go down?

 

[ClassyPenguin]

It will go down?

Not a question of 'if' but 'when?'

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I think I was in the steam chat once, and then I got kicked.

We've all been kicked at one time or another.

I don’t know what’s worse: There being no video options aside from changing your resolution in Darksiders, or the game crashing due to an intro movie being played.
