Didn't win the first time? Don't worry, I have a second key.
This time around, it's still a joke with horrible pun(s), but I'm going to limit it to Valve/Steam related ones. Have fun!
What would happen if Origin and Steam starting to have sex?
This: Half Life
...and some new bastard EA Games on Steam Store... Again!
Origins was the good game tho. Half Life 2: Shit Mountain edition

I'm trying recurva at the moment, says it has found 438k files, will find out in 2 hours or so! Seems a lot though. It did leave what I thought was my steam directory on that drive mostly untouched, but nope I now only have 2 games installed, instead of 200+ though I think most of the files are still there and when reinstalled steam will recognise most of them.
It's pretty much the same throughout, but has some really interesting mechanics combining the mouse cursor and the fast paced action. I loved it. Just pure bliss. It's also really short. You can breeze through it in like 30-45 minutes. Of course, that's normal, and only one character.

Glad you enjoyed it. It isn't great but I do feel it gets torn apart more than it should.
I think it really does come down to how much you can enjoy QTEs and Jurassic Park.

If you enjoyed the main game? Absolutely. I thought the were both a bit better than the main game content.

Made a thread awhile back with literally 1 other post from a user.
There was no saving it and I just let it die.
Holy shit.....yo someone's gonna get sued.
Man, what happened to Sethos? I know it's been forever, but I was just thinking about the driving in GTA.
It still surprises me how much more I love the driving in GTA IV than V. Just booting it up to cruise around feels so comfortable for me. I love Sleepy Dawgs, but the driving just doesn't do it for me. I really hope Watchdogs feels heavier in vehicles.

And no one in the QA department noticed, incredible.
Got a ways further in HL2. I'm currently in the process of trying to get a force field down so that I can drive my junk buggy over a massive bridge. Climbing around on the underside of that thing had me gripping my mouse and trying not to look down. Don't even want to think about how that would've felt wearing something like the Oculus...
I swear, I spend more time in this game driving than I do on foot. Spent ages piloting my junk swamp boat up the river, there's a brief intermission, then I'm on my way to Ravenholm. I got to run and gun on foot for awhile (had fun using the giant blade from one of those rotating blade traps as a zombie slicer with the gravity gun), make it to the next safe house... and the next thing I know, they're giving me another vehicle made out of rusted sheet metal and telling me to go drive down the coast and rescue Eli. At this point I'm really hoping the back half of the game just has me running around on foot and doesn't shove me into another interminable car/boat/plane/horse/giant headcrab-driving sequence.
Oh, and is it just me, or does this guy:
look a lot like this guy?
Overall, I'd say I'm enjoying HL2 so far. It's interesting playing it now and imagining how it must've looked back when it was originally released. I might try to sit down and write up my thoughts on the experience when I'm done, if I can find the time.

Funny you bring up the vehicles. Haven't played HL2 in ages but was thinking about it the other day, and literally all I remember is the can in the beginning and all the vehicle secions. It was definitely a game of it's time. All that acclaim wouldn't be there now though it's still a fun romp. Also those 2 guys looks exact aside from the shirt. He somehow managed to get out of Half Life and into CSD.

I see that Splinter Cell Blacklist is 10 bucks over at funstock.
I know it's a Uplay key but damn that price is tempting. Apparently it's cheaper on GMG but since that sale is EU only kinda get screwed out of that.

This is a long shot, but does anyone have ideas about what might be causing a c0000005 crash when launching Mass Effect? I finally decided to start the game and I can't even get it to display a splash screen. I'm currently going through suggestions in this thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1022105&page=2
I've tried setting to compatibility for XP SP2, XP SP3, run as administrator, etc. but nothing has changed anything. I can't run Launcher.exe directly as administrator because it complains about a missing XML file. I tried validating files, and Steam reported validation complete, apparently with no files bad.
I've tried manually running the DirectX installer in the folder, I'm running from an installation on the C: drive, and I'm running Windows 7 64-bit home premium.
I've tried manually installing the 1.02 patch (which sounds like it has lots of nice stuff), exactly the same problem.

I used Hola Unblocker and set my region to UK and got Brothers in Arms and Dark Messiah M&M without a problem.
From what I hear, get used to that sensation.
I think I finally hit on the solution -- manually installing the 1.02 patch and THEN manually running the MassEffectLauncher.exe manually from the game directory, configured for compatibility mode and run-as-administrator. Note that I did NOT run Steam itself as administrator, since I was trying to avoid that to begin with.
Once I ran it once that way, the normal Steam lauch seems to have started working. I'm a bit disconcerted that the 1.02 patch didn't seem to be included on Steam though. I wonder if I'm missing anything else going into this blind.

WTF is this shit. It says it is at 1080p. Note that my UI is rendering at 1080 but the 3D is not.

Tried a few times, and it still isn't working.
Looks like i'll just hold out for the steam sale. Should hopefully hit 25 by then.

when's Grandia coming to PC
Technically, Grandia II is already on PC. Just not on Steam. Blame Ubisoft.
It's coming to PC?
I got a problem with viewing my badge page. And since it's not viewable at all, is there any other ways to see what games I have cards drops left?

Wait so Ubi has the Grandia IP now?
We sure as hell are never seeing that again.

So when it comes to Grandia, it seems were at "Who the hell knows".
Hopefully someone does something with it. Though I guess I at least have PCSX2.

Just finished Chapter 1 of Witcher 2. Damn, this game has more political intrigue than Game of Thrones.
And these Wild Hunt teases are making me more and more confident that I'll be doing an upgrade especially for Witcher 3.

You're the first person I know of who has enjoyed driving the landyachts in GTA IV. The driving in Sleeping Dogs is pretty bad, it tries to be like arcade racers, but the driving just feels numb and lacks feedback of any kind.
Ubi was just commissioned to handle the international release of the game. The Grandia IP is still owned by Game Arts (well, GungHo).
I played it recently, and I was very much immersed, even when I actively tried to deflect the foreboding atmosphere (doing all sorts of ridiculous things). I liked the pacing; as soon as it would get too wearying, I was dropped into an exhilarating interlude where I would feel like I was on top of things, rather than constantly oppressed by the antagonistic environment and the heavy loneliness.
I was glad to run into people but, I did not like how overly pandering they were. It was jarring because I couldn't (or Gordon didn't) respond to their prompts, or even existence, and these painful silences hung over every encounter. I imagined this emo Gordon pantomiming "yeah, whatever, bitch" to every gleeful npc that greeted him. Not that it wouldn't be understandable, his shit's been thoroughly fucked up.

Okay so I learned what happened with Doom 3 BFG. Apparently they released a patch that literally fucked it up for everyone. The game decides what it thinks will result in 60fps and if it doesn't think you'll be able to pull it off, it drops the rendering resolution. So that is what it is doing, even though I handled 4x multisamlping at 60fps on a videocard half as powerful...
