Well fellow SteamGAFfers, I finally got my own desktop PC thingy (alienware alpha). This'll be my first computer that can run at resolutions above 768p, I don't think my body will be able to handle this new future.

Kirosia, you now need to spend two days modding Skyrim before playing it. It's the only way to go.
The Phishing friend requests are getting ridiculous. I'm getting 1-4 every single day now.

Will you join me in glorious friendship, comrade? Riches.

Awaiting your reply,

The beta should be RC for the real one but I am not seeing anything either. mind = blown

I think you're confusing overhauled client with overhauled browser engine, the latter of which a Valve employee very recently confirmed will be in an upcoming beta update.

Maybe they finally release android/ios app updates after beta gets released. (Too bad I'm using Windows Phone now)
I believe beta client added support for two factor logins (SMS/Mobile App Auth).

I think you're confusing overhauled client with overhauled browser engine, the latter of which a Valve employee very recently confirmed will be in an upcoming beta update.

This probably. I don't think they are overhauling whole client, even if it needs it.
Sure they changed colors, but that's it.

Weird, the "Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack" doesn't include Ballad of Gay Tony

It does, it's in Episodes from Liberty City. But it doesn't have GTA V.

Well yeah, I am quite drunk at the moment but the post did say that:

This update is a candidate for a full Steam Client release later today. Thanks to all our beta testers for their continued feedback and their willingness to help us catch critical bugs and crashes.

which confused me after seeing the browser engine update tweet. Anyhoo, the client itself has been lightning fast for me since the last major upgrade few months ago. Is the client webkit based?

If anyone is worried about buying Manhunt because the steam page says it doesn't run on Windows 7/8.1 don't be. Runs without issues at 60 FPS and looks pretty nice given the era.
I'm sure he sells the formula.
Given the one other person who has mentioned it on the internet it seems like it is a combat rebalance mod issue. Downloaded the updated version so hopefully that fixes the issue.

This AMA thread's magical, Major Nelson's responding to Evilore now.
I'll just say I take issue with your choice of the word "bribe."

At no time did I ever imply or otherwise infer that I would expect coverage - let alone dictate the tone or tenor of said coverage.

What ever you choose to say or write or otherwise do to cover the event (or not at all) was entirely up to you. I said it then, and I"ll say it again: This was a 100% no strings attached professional courtesy I was extending to anther member of the community. No expectations were implied or inferred.

I wanted to make sure you could see, in person, the Xbox briefing so you could draw your own conclusions. How or if you shared them was entirely up to you.

That was it.

No strings attached. Period.

Assuming that I would expect anything in return is just flat out wrong and misrepresents my intention. It's also incorrect to assume that I would somehow use this to create an uncomfortable situation when we would meet at E3. I think I have conducted myself in a much more professional and upstanding manner both online and in person that you would have understood that.

Thanks.

Larry

So in the EviLore Kotaku AMA thread EviLore was asked about offers from the industry and such which he mentioned something about Microsoft getting GAF into E3 after that ESA hoohah last year. All of a sudden Major Nelson pops into the thread taking issue with that. Could be interesting to watch this unfold.

It's a masterpiece of noodle western cinema.
The trailer doesn't really do it justice, because it's an international trailer and it's basically BOOMSPLOSIONSFIGHTSLOOK.

I'll have to have a look see if the super awesome video/dvd rental shop here has a copy.

ANyone have a countdowner for GTA release?

Well as you might have noticed there isn't a release time on Steam so no one really know. But if we're going by the 6pm GMT store update time then...

The responses so far have been a ton of michaeljacksoneatingpopcorn.gifs, but they're probably not wrong.

Did you see this quote in the AMA:

Obviously the PC is Best Platform

Well that's generally what most will do as their 'contribution' (which reminds me of the Jeff Bell AMasterNinja incident).

And yeah of course EL is going to say that, Pillars is only on PC natch :p

Here's what Rockstar Support said on their twitter:

Sooo I'm playing this at 800x600 and everything at lowest of the low and bouncing between 20-30 fps for 2 days now until my GPU kerfuffle is finally sorted.
 

I played a bit Contagion.
Not gonna beat around the bush. I got scared.

For being a Source-Engine game, it really looks nice. The lighting or better very well put lack thereof is so good. The howling of the zombies and the ambient sounds are so immersive, I found myself doing quick 180s every now and then.

The devs really made a Zombie Survival game. Very different than Left 4 Dead. You have to calculate your every move as stamina depletes very fast and zombies get attracted by your running noises. Add in the same for gunshots and you quickly adapt a new playstyle: Zombie tiptoeing. I tried staying far away and in the shadows but the levels have many small pathways which can get really tense.

About weapons. You start of with only one. Mine was a pistol. Throughout the level new weapons and ammo is scattered but unlike L4D they are mostly not on the direct route to the next part but in side buildings etc. Given the felt real threat by zombies you have to carefully wage rummaging for better weapons or staying safe. It really gets tense. Ammo itself is also very scarce. So you better be sure to land some headshots. But then again, one shot will attract at least four others. In the end I was mostly running away when followed and used my weapon only when absolutely needed.

The levels are greatly detailed and bring a lot of atmosphere. I wasn't expecting the game to be that tense and scary to be honest but I can imagine others to have great fun with this. Good teamwork is absolutely advised.

Here some screens I took before getting scared.

Well fellow SteamGAFfers, I finally got my own desktop PC thingy (alienware alpha). This'll be my first computer that can run at resolutions above 768p, I don't think my body will be able to handle this new future.
Nice! Put your new rig through some hoops by playing Crysis, the firs tone of course :)
Lol might as well make it ficial!!
Hahaha! This is awesome! :D

EDIT: Noooo! You deleted it!
