Curse you steam!!!!
Yet again I make a purchase I was considering the day before as soon as I wake up. Literally woke up and I was thinking about how certain mechanics work in the game so I said "okay I'm buying it."
Also had a real bad urge to blast Manfred Mann's cover of Blinded by the Light. :lol :lol
edit: Would anyone like to play Civ4 later in the afternoon today?

I was going to ask if anyone wanted to get in a four pack for Iron Grip: Warlord, but it got bad reviews and I haven't heard anything else about it.
And I was thinking about Biozone but I can't find a damn thing about this game anywhere.

Why are there no Steam achievements for Peggle? Why PopCap, why?

I'd say so. A different map with new enemies to slaughter is all that I wanted, and Warband delievers.

Haha, yeah the movement in Sin feels really weird. It's like a potent combo of FoV and weapon bob.

Check in tools. The demo goes there for some reason.
The game is pretty fun but buggy. It's an interesting mesh tower defense with 1st person shooting and rts for planting defensive spots. Also has co-op for up to 8 players which scales up the enemies. It could have used a couple more months of polish but the devs are apparently still working on it.

Would you say it's worth 10 bucks? Ah how is the single player?
Here's are some rough cobbled-together map images with an estimate of the FUEL route last night that Oreo, n0b, Jangaroo, Javaman and I took. It would be cool if there were an ingame feature for this. I think we played maybe 3ish hours total to cover this small region? :lol The red lines are my guess as to the route, though we probably did a fair bit of cross country.

Just install Beyond the Sword unless you want to play some of the scenarios specific to the other expansions. It has everything else included.

Really they have very few online features. They just throw you in. There's not even a text chat.Blizzard said:
You guys should add me; I'd join in. Edit: I was going to add you, but there is no AgentElrond.
Having a bitch of a time trying to get controllers working with the GTA games/Midnight Club from the Rockstar pack. Good thing I have some Max Pain to hold me off a bit before I get really angry and start knocking over digital magazine racks!
Anyone been able to get a wired 360 controller (Win7 with drivers already installed) working with GTA III/VC/SA/EFLC or MCII?

Add me ingame and on Steam, the more the merrier. They don't have many features or much configurability, but I'm still a little impressed that you can basically just jump into the world with some people, and drive like 100 miles with no loading and only occasional loss of the people's icons. Even the race maps may be part of the main world map itself, which is kind of cool, though of course you jump to a different server or something if you race with people. (I could be wrong and maybe only the start of the races are on the main roads though)Desaparecido said:
Huh, my community page shows up as http://steamcommunity.com/id/agentelrond/home so that should work I thought. I'll be back tonight, and if I'm not playing L4D2 or TF2 I'm up for another FUEL run.
*edit* If anyone wants, I can make a thread in the online forum. Everyone will probably lose interest shortly, but we could coordinate a few FUEL drives there without hijacking this thread.

I think there's separate names for login, URL, and then the actual username. It says yours is Blizzard, which it didn't accept when I tried. It finally accepted it by clicking the "Add to your friends list" button on your profile. :lolBlizzard said:
I'm up for another FUEL run with you and Oreo later tonight. That late night thunderstorm we got caught in was really atmospheric. Too bad mic chatting with GFWL is craptascular. I could hardly hear you guys.Blizzard said:Add me ingame and on Steam, the more the merrier.

I took one screen shot from the run last night. I have to say, the draw distance is pretty amazing considering the fact that there isn't any loading inbetween areas.

You could try the XBCD driver. That's all I use and it works great with every game I've ever tried with it, including MC 2.
Best program ever.LocoMrPollock said:
But if you're running Windows 7 64, you're going to have to find a way to put the OS in Test Mode before you're permitted to run unsigned drivers like this.
The 12th I think? I'm hoping for the updated achivement-ready versions of HL2 and Episode 1 with the release! plsplsplsPyrokai said:

I think this is new, but Natural Selection 2 is now officially a Steam game, you can tie your preorder codes to your steam account and download / play the alpha through steam and everything now (although you just show up as playing a mystery game while doing so)
This is exactly what most of us did last night, though Oreo apparently couldn't hear it so his Steam mic settings might have been turned off. I try not to run the overlay ingame since I feel like it makes things lag. Once we get a chat going, the steps are:Volcynika said:
1. Make sure your mic is muted in the ingame GFWL overlay, through settings.
2. Hit start voicechat in the Steam chat, after making sure your mic and volumes are good in Steam settings.
3. Hit Settings to set up a push to talk button. I use the left alt key, and just reach up to use it while I'm steering with the 360 pad. Don't use ctrl, that's the default accelerate button for FUEL.
If you can't talk that's fine, just as long as you can hear other people, since someone whose mic is decent can just say "ok everyone stop for now and let's coordinate our next destination with text chat for a minute". If you mute everyone that's fine, but you'll have to figure it out for youself then. :lol
What we did last night was just take turns picking a leader who had points to go for, and then everyone just followed in the general vicinity. It occurred to me today that after a drive we could do some sort of freeform race to a destination that everyone had -- any route and vehicle you want, see who can get back home fastest.
Here's the manual for Iron Grip:Warlord...

Apparently, you press 'G' to toggle between an FPS and an RTS. I wish more games had a button that let you switch genres.Javaman said:

Except for Colonization, which is included. That's actually a totally separate game.

You are wasting resources but if I had your benefits I would probably do it too as long as my landlord doesn't care.
