Possibly.
I don't dare to try.
I just played through the first episode of the Cognition: Erica Reed Thriller, and it's got one where you need to fail every FBI Q&A puzzle to get the achievement. So dumb.

Nope, all achievements must be done from the day they announce the rewards to the end day

If you registered to Playfire just now and they're still active (see blog) it will count the cheevos as new ones. If not not.
I... don't think this was supposed to happen:
Obviously I can now run the game again, but I had to lower Image Quality from Very High to High so that VRAM usage would fall below 2GB. If the 870 has 4GB or less VRAM by default I may cough up the premium for a couple of the double-stuffed variants instead. A default configuration of 6GB should last me until Pascal, though.
I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about.

I hope they'll improve performance with 6XX cards as well.
Ah, nice, thanks for the heads-up.
That must be why it's still beta. I did my Goat Sim achievements on March before the rewards popped up this April. Logged back into GMG to resync my playfire again and received the rewards anyway.

The Playfire dude said here that those were backdated because the Goat Sim beta was playable earlier.
Updates about once per day for me, nowhere near the official 1-3 hours.

I remember that radMonkey said that they revamped their tracking software to be better and faster, but I still see no improvements. My rewards still doesn't get registered
The official party line on achievements is that they need to be done in that time. However most get awarded anyway. I got rewarded for my Cognition achievements despite playing those episodes like 3 months ago. I've defiently gotten most of my credit from achievements I've already done.

But you just registered, right? Then you get all the old ones once.
No, I've been around a while. I've obtained nearly 35 in credit since I've been a member.

The Playfire Rewards are still all messed up. Every other day in this thread someone isn't getting any credit or something else. I know it's in beta but they maybe should have went with inites or something rather than open the floodgates now.
I wish they'd have made account linking before doing this. It screwed anyone over who used both playfire and gmg but with different emails before they joined together.

I managed to make something like $15+ from getting Cheevos in Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z and Goat Simulator.
Used that moola to get Moebius for practically free.
Now I'm saving up for Tex Murphy pre-order if it ever gets on GMG, otherwise gonna get it off Steam using some of my Gaben Dollars (now if only someone WOULD BUY THIS GODDAMN FOIL!)

The promised boost is similar to any driver release so far. And like always I don't notice any difference performance wise.
Indie Gala weekly is up.
- Crystal Story II (Desura)
- Tobe's Vertical Adventure
- C-RUSH
- Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project
- A Valley Without Wind
- A Valley Without Wind 2

Own none of them so here we go... maybe. Does Manhattan Project work with a 360 controller?

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Im really liking Thief; It's atmospheric, the stealth gameplay is fun and it has absolutely gorgeous shadows (some people in here have a thing for rain, I love good shadows), but Great Scott those bugs are annoying. Lot's of audio-bugs. There was a single line from a guard that just kept repeating itself over and over again. It's stopped, thank goodness, but now almost every dialogue sounds dampened. Except for cutscenes, but I don't care about those. The chatter between guards is enjoyable, the dialogue from the main-story is just...bad.
And crashes. Not unplayable, but still annoying. Ten or fifteen in twenty hours.
Performance is weird as well. Runs terrible in Exclusive fullscreen but great in borderless windowed mode, even with everything turned to it's highest setting. With the exception of some places I like to call magical stuttering circles. They appear mostly in The City and are really annoying. If you walk in certain spots the game get extremely hicky and I have no idea how or why. One or two meters away from that spot everything is fine, walk back and the stutters return with a vengeance.
Loving the collect-a-thoning though, to end with a positive tone.
I've received 3,66 Euro's since registering two weeks ago and thought that was much, heh.

I keep forgetting that the indiegala weeklies are 1.89 for the first 24 hours.
I cave every time when I realize that.

Didn't this new patch help? http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=142975
I got lucky, earned over 10€ instantly with old achievements and am now close to 20.
Huh, the first Valley has cards but part 2 doesn't. That's kinda random.
Don't know, I played it on actual 360, but the game is completely dreadful. Absolutely not worth anyone's time, not even (or maybe especially not) for Duke fans.

I played Psychonauts this weekend and the game aged pretty well, the dialog is fun and Raz is likeable protagonist even if he's a bit dumb and tend to be flustered to solve the problems.

Thanks for Duke Nukem, JaseC!
You're only going to see noticeable gains in games that are more CPU limited than GPU limited, which is why I mentioned Thief earlier as the benchmark falls into the former category. Here's my comparison:
Nvidia's first set of DX-optimised drivers are out (337.50 betas). Here's how Thief's benchmark now fares on my system (8GB DDR3-1600, 2600K @ 4.6GHz and 2x slightly overclocked 2GB 670s):
335.23 (SLI enabled):
337.50 betas (SLI enabled):
Relative differences (337.50b versus 335.23):
Minimum: +6.4fps (+~15%)
Average: +15.1fps (+~23%)
Maximum: +3.2fps (+~3%)
I was expecting a bigger boost at the low end but a 15fps increase in average framerate is very respectable.
Thanks for Valley Dual Pack, JaseC!
Thanks for Tobe
No worries.
Bad luck!
Nah, Manhattan Project isn't bad. It's my least favorite Duke Nukem game, but it's still fun.
Mind you, I played through it with god mode on all through, so I don't know how it is without cheats.
What remake do you mean? Manhattan Project is a new title, not a remake of the first one
I did every achievement on 360 the manual way and the game is awful! Completely uninteresting platforming, floaty physics, slightly unresponsive controls, uninteresting enemies, really ugly 1998-style graphics... Everything about it sucks.

Yeah i was referring 1st one "Duke Nukem 3D" (DOS version). Manhattan was in my wishlist.

I didn't play Thief for a couple of weeks, but when I started it Sunday the line-repeating guard was nowhere to be heard, so I guess 1.4 fixed that. However, I didn't have those other problems I mentioned in my previous post post-patch, so maybe going back to 1.3 fixes that.
Ping-ponging with updates, alway's fun.
