Yeah, this time they screw up pretty bad. At least they said a patch is coming...

Yes. But it was only just set up yesterday.
A few weeks ago Warner said that they won't use a lock for germany. The game isn't banned and it was sold everywhere before release. From gamestop to steam itself. You can still buy it from amazon.de. Steam removed the game from the german store after it didn't get a USK rating. Now we are waiting for them to remove the lock. Warner support is clueless and steam or netherrealm don't say anything.
You generally do GCSEs in your last few years of Secondary School. Age wise that's 13-15. It's not very high at all. I don't see how anyone would feel confident translating a press conference having only done a GCSE.

Yes. We only got the 3GB preload so far. The game is still encrypted when we try to start it.
Environmental Station Alpha coming out in one week (April 22nd). They released a new trailer and announced the price: $8 and additional 10% discount for the first week. It also has trading cards.
I like the look this game has going for it.
Reminds of a more Metroid-like Air Fortress.

DocSeuss, have you thought about using something like GoFundMe to raise some money for your medical bills, etc.?
Come on guys, let's think of something to help a brother out other than "hope it gets better"

Pillars of Eternity is awesome. I don't have a good idea about what the stats and numbers mean yet, but it's a heck of a lot of fun. Intruiging world.
The writing is especially noticable, so good.

Was it corrosive frost that was going nuts about that?

Yup.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
A pretty good synonym for corrosive frost would be ice salt.
It does. But just take a while.. Gotta use all your brain power to think about it.

All of this talk about MKX is making me want to reinstall MK9 just to replay the story mode.
but then that means i have to download the PS3 cutscenes.
and that's a lot of work just to punch ninjas in the face.
My only other option is the Vita version, which plays perfectly well but looks like it was a PC game from 2004 set to low settings

Still need to beat on my Vita... so jarring watching the transition from cutscene to game.
We did do that last year.
I'd be happy to donate a few games if someone organizes a similar thread this year.
Vita version is the best version of MK9. Embrace it.

Lol I finished it man, still makes no sense
I get what they're trying to do in broad strokes but not enough depth is given to the characters to make anything stick :/

PS3 cutscenes?
bengraven

That's what I'm worried about.
I just want a BIT more access to fuel and supplies, to get beyond the third line to the east (never been to Khan's for example) but I just can't get enough money. I also can't get enough to get a house so I can claim my own kid. lol
The random "cards"/events you get that require other "cards" is brilliant but frustrating sometimes too. "Oh I'm in the middle of no where but if I had a "strange catch" card I could have done something here?
The PC ones are way too compressed(just started playing). Apparently, you can mod the PS3 cutscenes into the PC version.

I agree, it's actually the only version of MK9 that i've finished the story mode on. But it's also 4 gigs of space i have to find on my already-crammed 32 gig card. Plus, i like the idea of playing a heavily downsampled version of MK9, it must looked exceptionally sharp.
Sigh, i guess i better start downloading the PS3 cutscene pack when i get home.
Sadly, I think Evilore has said that things like that are not allowed anymore.

Oh I didn't know PS3 had better quality. Where do you get them?
Many PC ports have horribly compressed cutscenes(normally because they are either ported from X360, or they want it to fit on the less dvds possible for the physical version). PS3 cutscenes, thanks to the size of blu-rays, can acommodate much bigger video files so they are often of much higher quality.
Wanted good karma, instead ended up with a phone call that basically ended with my mom in tears asking why I would destroy my soul by writing about video games.
Great.
As pointed out, it happened last year (and it is the only reason I kept a roof over my head and received medical treatment). I'd feel really bad about doing another one, because I don't want to be a beggar. That's partly why I set up a Patreon. Someone just contributed a sizable dollar amount to it, but I have yet to get that. Should make May a little more bearable, but even then, it's like riding on the axles.
What I want is a job. That's it. A job that helps me pay medical stuff, rent, food, and school loans.
Supposedly I'm going to be hired as a consultant for games ~at some point~, which would pay pretty great, but the work would be sporadic/unpredictable, and I know I won't be getting anything in April. The second interview was a week ago, and I still haven't received the paperwork. Even then, there's a 'trial' I have to do, so it's not like it's a guaranteed gig. I could flub it and be stuck living off of patreon, theatre reception, and freelance writing. :|
I wouldn't want to do one anyways. I felt horrible enough asking for help last time, and they kinda had to force me into it.

Hope this goes smoothly. It'd be swell to have an HD video pack on Steam, like with Lost Planet 3, but this'll do.

it's been $5 a few times. Fair warning: if you go digital, it's a ~4 gig download and it's ulgy as sin. It plays perfectly, just like all of the other versions, but it looks like a PSP game. Also, it does that thing that UMVC3 does on the Vita and SSFIV did on the 3DS where the backgrounds either barely move or dont move at all.
but if all you want is a portable version of MK9 then know that it plays like its bigger brothers and is both feature and content complete.
If you line in EU it's going to be 10 euros today.
Get it.
Best version. Has the best netcode and exclusive content.

I like the cut of your jib, sir!For me, staying positive is holding out hope that Origin will die, and EA will be forced to start selling games on Steam again.
God Lord Almighty! If these are indeed the BTA surprises, the bundle is baaad.
I was secretly hoping for Saboteur and Mercenaries 2. This is lame.
Only 4 years? I thought you were gaming all across the board since.. forever!YAY
4 years, 2,815 games.
At least they made a huge leap compared to their last PC GTA. Then again, it seems impossible to do a worse job than that
Congrats!Woo hoo, got my offer for my postgraduate in!

No matter what you think, I hope things will get better for everyone here.
Life can be a pain but everyone's troubles are the biggest for themselves.
You have people, even if total foreigners, somewhat caring about your personal issues. That is more than many others can say

Sorry for the bad news but I think you can't share any 3rd-party-DRM games. Whether Uplay or Social Club.
Would be happy for you to be proven wrong.

You would still need a Rockstar Social Club key. The Steam copy comes with one, that's how the streamers got their game stolen (lol).
It's shareable...in a sense. You have to give access to the needed account. Some Uplay games have family sharing activated(like Trials Evolution), but you need to login with the correct Uplay account then.
So? They could still give the completely functional single player...
You can, and Steam even has a specific warning message for such games. It's just that they're generally not shareable since they don't work without the account owner's account/key.

listen to the mad man
Weird that the EA Humble Bundle lets you attach your purchase to a "group" for leaderboard purposes, but there's no "#OriginSucks" or "#WorstCompanyInAmerica" groups. Pity.
GTA V looks good
and here I am staring at the shit mountains in da2 at 40fps
Maybe it doesn't do checking? So change in HTML and see what happens.

Eww, chromatic abomination.
