witcha 2 is pretty long, you're gonna have to be quick :p

The first one we did was the library pod, we didn't have any weaponry that run but had lots of turrets and concentrated on Sci generators. The game after that was the Armory, which put more emphasis on food, personal DPS per character and giving us limited industry to build with. That was the pod you complained was your punishment for that one little tiny mistake, remember dear?

After that, I think we did two games on the regular Escape Pod which is just the vanilla game with the normal balance. I liked how we died faster there then we did on even the Library Pod, which is quite a bit harder for personal survival haha
oh i think i have them all mixed up

i think best one was the food pod cos that one was easy enough for me lol

WARNING -- very long post -- WARNING

It has been quite cheap already, I got it from GMG for like $16* last year
*
actually like $1 thanks to Playfire.

Shame they nerfed rewards. Was to be expected, since you could earn a lot from it with large backlog and big rewards for new games.



+1. I just never liked it, can't explain it but that's how it is. Only use it when MPC-HC doesn't work (streaming like once or twice a year).

MPC-HC is my number 1 choice.
I don't really mind the nerfed rewards because since these were conditioning what I played (which I didn't like at all) I stopped caring and paying attention to them. So if I have any that's nice, but I'm not going out of my way to get them :p

Also, *brofist*

I can never tell what effect changing this stuff has.

As a MPC + K lite mega codec pack pleb I just pick lots of stuff install option and everything runs.

And thanks to the community who makes this stuff for that, because I remember the dauys of the proprietary format wars and it was shit.
I tend to prefer CCCP over K-Lite.
Switched many years ago and never looked back.

Yes, I use MPC now.
Good Khaleesi man.

jeez guys, calm down, it's only media player
There is a line in the sand, and you have to choose :mad:

Not really, but I prefer it because of the better compatibility with XySubFilter, more options and better looking toolbar ;)

Maybe they fixed it but I can't set up subtitle delay with F1/F2 in MPC-HC with XySubFilter.



You should :) There are a lot of good guides out there, but with varying age. reddit has a good, pretty recent one but it's pretty slim. You can replace XyVsFilter with XySubFilter if you want.

Here are some others you can take a look at:

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=516729
http://husmensblog.blogspot.se/2013/10/howto-mpc-advanced-setup-guide.html
http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-theater-computers/1357375-advanced-mpc-hc-setup-guide.html

As I said, with varying age so they can be somewhat outdated - you can probably find a better one with more searching. If something's confusing I'm happy to assist.
I never tried XySubFilter actually, I'll look into it.

Installing and configuring all that (with a tutorial) some time ago (coming from CCCP) improved the quality of videos by a huge amount. Anime never looked so good before.
You can use madVR with CCCP at least, not sure if the others are as easy to set up.

Welcome to your KCP overlords.


Bend over.
CCCP > KCP

will changing media players improve the quality of my porn?
Coming from VLC, yes.

Because why not. ;)
Should I be surprised?
No I shouldn't.

time to wishlist that is.
Can anybody tell me something about finnishness and buglessness of said game?
Well, I don't think the guy that did it is from Finland, so there is that.

I snagged it and it worked! Thanks to you and WhiskeyDiver!

I even got more than I expected. Baby's first STD, yay!
Are you having fun? Or better, do have more fun than GTA4?

Hm. I am a noob when it comes to Studios, so I was actually thinking from a Publisher perspective. Wouldn't it make more sense to bring RDR after GTAV+DLC incomes have slowed down to not cannibalize?
Mass Effect 2 STD?
Is that a special edition? Standard? wat?

probably this:



also - more info for jshacks:

Can you post the link whenever you post these? :)

I'm leaving you SteamGAF.

Thanks for reminding me that JW is still far away :(

Tron 2.0 and a few other Disney titles got cards. http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?showcase-filter-recadded (too lazy to link to them individually)
Hopefully these are worth as much as the other Tron game ones (or were at least, I made some pretty pennies with those, almost animu levels)

Surprisingly enough, The Elder Scrolls Online isn't really shitty anymore. The game is almost unrecognizable from what it was at launch, which is a really good thing.

I'll definitely be picking this up
when it's on sale on Steam
.
Does it no longer format your hard drive on install? :p

too bad Frosty doesn't like us any more ... he'd tell you a few things about Strider ;)
I knew something was missing... why did he leave anyway?

Oh darn it. It just dawned on me.

With this trick I won't be able to put unavailable stuff on my Wishlist.

Valve!!!!
Same here, so annoying :(

Only cheap regions are locked. This does not affect your games or playability.
Yes and no, some of us are grouped with cheaper countries but don't have access to those cheap prices.

In theory you should now be able to buy from the US store using your US payment method.

Or you could change your whole Steam store to Taiwan and use local payment.
I would assume it still requires verification that you are residing or have a valid payment method of the countries in question, right?
As a side note, Google recently changed how the Play Store works, and now for some countries you actually need to provide information of where you reside, rather than just using a valid billing address from somewhere else. Which sucks, because it means I can no longer access the US Play Store :(((

No. Say you're an American. Say you're traveling to Germany. While in Germany you now still can buy games in the US store using your usual payment methods like if you are still in the US. OR you can say 'hey I'm staying longer in Germany, let's change my account over'. Then you can buy in the German store and as soon as you complete a purchase with a German payment method your Steam wallet gets changed to €. Want to buy from the US? Change it back, the option will still be there.
This left me wondering, since one would assume that for that it would mean opening a bank account/getting a card from the place being visited... but what about those Steam prepaid gift cards?

You're making it sound like it's shameful. I'm proud of liking TR2013, just as I'm also proud of liking Angel of Darkness!
Damn son, those are the 2 worst games in the series :(

Why can't I get an updated Dark Forces or Jedi Knight-like game? I don't need this no-campaign Star Wars nonsense.
Jedi Academy MP still works fine!

This is really funny
because Aztec culture is not south american

The article and it's assumptions may be a bit premature at this point. It's all being based on speculation from the top of the Dimensions box art that's been skewed:



I mean, I hope it's true... but it really could just be someone or something else with a white shirt and orange pants.
How can people tell from that pic?

can get Far Cry 4 for $25 on brazil

ehhhhhhhhhhshncmxncn nah
Wait until it hits like $5 if that.
I'm still upset about Blood Dragon 3 not happening

Jedi Outcast is awesome. I haven't played it in forever. The lightsaber is really fun to use.
Such god-tier gameplay.
The SP campaign is really good, but for MP Jedi Academy is best.

So thanks to galyonkin who got an API set up for Enhanced Steam, this will be available in the next release:



You'll be able to disable it in the options page if you'd prefer not to see it, but I think it will provide a bit more insight than what is currently available and should help people make more informed purchasing decisions.
That looks pretty awesome, looking forward to it!

sorry to all the ppl that worried about me and like pm'd me or messaged me on steam, but thanks for caring <3.
I have disappeared for long stretches of times and never got a single PM ;_;

Man, for all the negative rep Xbox division garnered over the past, I gotta give huge, huge props to MS with their incentives with Dreamspark.

The things they are giving away are just awesome. It really is.
There are so many software-packets, I don't even know what 70% of them do but I see some super nifty stuff like Visual Studio Pro, XNA Game Studio, Kinect SDK and so much more.

MS does some cool stuff. Just not gaming-wise imo :p
Dreamspark was a bit neater a while ago, now not so much because of the things you mention, all are free already :p (VS2013 Pro is now free for small teams and individuals as the Community Edition, 2015 will be as well)

.........................


people are reallly really really averse to read the previous page, aren't they?
To be fair, this topic still grows a lot overnight, I barely made it through by skimming through the pages :(

...Wei Shen?
Perfect.
Reminds me that I need to play Year of the Snake,

Lol at people falling for Snyder again. Didn't they learn from MoS? Or Watchmen?
Snyder is not bad, MoS was terrible thanks to Goyer.
I'm holding out hope for BvS.

Well that was a slightly unnerving picture to scroll past.
Why? Aren't you a doctor? :p

Let's lead by example, folks.
What did I miss?

strider is pretty fun yo
Paging corrosi-- ohwait

You can change your store region from the account history page if you have a history of cross-region purchasing, just FYI.
If you are in another region you can as well (I'm currently in Italy and it shows up as an option).

Saw this posted in the GTA V OT and seeing as some of you peeps have got the urge to upgrade this could save you a few quid or more over a couple of grand. Well if you win of course.

Okay, but the issue isn't "who is being restricted", the issue is "what are you being restricted from doing". The mere fact of being restricted is irrelevant. Steam could restrict my account right now, but if the restriction was that "I can't launch games whose titles start with Q on Sunday nights unless I spam a Meat Boy emoticon on my own profile page's wall and buy at least $0.14 worth of animu background images", then that's not a restriction that's actually going to impact me.
I heard that playing Quake on Sunday nights is good for your health.

yeah, i mean my favorite jrpgs kind of have of all of those (suikoden 2, vp1, parasite eve 1, xenosaga/gears, ff7, persona 3, nocturne, fm1, etc...).

but to catch my attention i tend to need likable characters or a likable setting from the get go. something like 250 hours of gameplay or a great combo system or whatever is not really the way to hook me :p

so yea i maybe should just play p4 since p3 might be like the best game of all time if u ask me


yeah 5 usd isn't so bad

like even if your friend gets fucked by this they can just like buy vvvvvvv and be happy forever
Shame, guess I can't recommend Tales of Graces f since it has a barely serviceable and absolutely terrible story, but it has the BEST gameplay of the series and god-tier in jRPG in general .

I almost gave up on game collecting earlier. I had a statement prepared for Enco and everything (which probably sounds a bit dramatic, but, hey, I've been watching House of Cards).

I need a drink.
I don't think I ever liked the word "almost" as much :)

Oh, it wasn't for personal reasons (well, not precisely for personal reasons). But suffice it to say that as a student who actually forgot to sign up to classes, who stuffs crap into shelves 20-25 hours a week, I can't afford to pay Steam AU prices.



That's the amusing thing, actually -- I went from thinking about how I'd spend a, well, fair amount on the Summer Sale to spending it on travel.



I've been playing with fire this long I'd rather not get burnt, but suffice it to say that, when it comes to lower prices, where there's a will, there's a way... only it seemed Valve had closed the latter entirely with the whole account region = store region thing. It's not a path I'd recommend anybody go down, though, least of which because of the trust in other persons it requires. I danced -- and will continue to dance -- the whole "Don't use VPNs!" routine because I didn't want to be indirectly responsible for people being made example of.
You should travel!
It's great, brilliant for the soul :D

Who here has Outrun C2C and/or Blur?
I have Blur, sadly not Outrun.

omg ... that head transplant thread went into all sorts of batshit insane directions xD

keep your tinfoil hats handy ;)

spoiler:
it's about MGS
:p
Par the course for MGS topics.
Case in point: Carnival of Stupid and #TeamReal vs #TeamCG

fuck it im buying a 1TB WB blue next week or somethin

im not gonna stop playing GTA when the witcher 3 comes out and I dont wanna move it from SSD to a shitty 5400rpm drive

i'll keep this shitty drive for picture storage or whatevs. it sounds like an old lady dying


i'll probably wipe it and reinstall Steam too and just say fuck it to any game I didnt finish and had a local save
With games getting huge, I'm really hoping that SSDs start dropping prices fast because I don't want to buy spin drives any more.

LOL@Diablo 3 (should have been 2)

But hey, at least Papers, Please made it.

Why doesn't Steam have a spring sale? It's kind of weird.
But it does!
In the Southern Hemisphere

Oh, jump towards the rope? I'd been jumping towards the bottomless pit this entire time.
LOL
I blame the casuls and the doritos pope.

what's NEON STRUCT? photoshop effect or something (¬&#8255;¬)
Sounds like an inFamous power actually.

Despite a brief scare I'm still in the game collecting, uh, game, so I'm happy. ;)



Wasn't it half off when it launched? That must be why I have it.
Good, I can keep nagging you about preorder bonuses and things like that then :p

we are getting new people in community? Is the world about to end?

Seriously!
Welcome Spirited!!

Managed to get that monitor, its pretty sweet, works amazingly well once you change the config.txt and it's nice being able to play all my games on a 4:3 screen, it has a vesa mount, I'm tempted to do what Fredrik did and turn it into a mini arcade machine.

Games work well with its resolution (800x600) and response time is pretty good, only downside that audio out? doesn't seem to be working, not sure, it never stated on the website it could do audio.

Compared to a 9" 16:9 monitor it definetly has an advantage:

It's not too too bad, like half the length of the first one.

Should take 20 hours or so.
took me like 40 to beat i think

i'm pretty slow tho, but if you don't know what to do games are usually longer

and i dunno how much available time ppl has, i think 20 hours in a week is good amount

I'm about to cross the mist to help Henselt, hopefully with my younger brother being underway, I'll be able to focus and finally beat the damn thing. :)
you're pretty far in, i feel like you should def make it in time

That's interesting, because that's the exact same chair I used to have until it literally fell apart on me after 3 years of constant daily usage. I was thinking of getting another but was also thinking of "upgrading" a bit.

I was kinda looking at maybe something like this

If you're looking that far up the price ladder*, I'd recommend going nuts with a GT Omega or DXRacer. They're somewhat flashy, but they're really comfortable and the construction is incredibly solid. I've heard great things about DXRacer's King and... M(aster?) series, and I've got a GT Omega Master XL. Comfy enough to sleep in. :p

Of course you're scraping the bottom of the barrel if we compare it with the outright insane prices on stuff like Herman Miller.

To be fair, you are very active, so being missing is easily noted :p

Also, clearly you should play MGS games!

sorry to everyone but i'm crossing my fingers for another delay haha

just so i can share the people's excitement

i like mgs games, not all of them and not like as much as some people but i like them. they're just not the kind of stories i'm most interested about, or something like that. i also don't care for like super long multiple generation spanning series that require you to play like two dozen games to see it all

also i just want a microphone to play league that doesn't break, my current headphones work, it's just the mic that broke

Hey my good people! Just finished Dirt 3 Complete Edition.

I already had beaten Dirt 3 last year but I decided to replay mostly the Tour Events while avoiding most of the Gymkana events. I also wanted to play some of the DLC events and try some of the DLC cars I didn't had the chance to play in the original game. I'm not going into detail again about what the game could have been, what's missing and so on but I'll just say that the game still looks really nice and the smooth gameplay is as great as I remembered. Playing this game with absolutely no HUD while raining it's such a good feeling. I had some fond memories from the last time I played so I confess that this was a bit of nostalgia trip for me. Still not sure what's going to be my next game but right now this was a nice +1 completed game to my list (even if I already finished before). :)

Decided to finally grab Far Cry 4.

I don't think I'll play it right away, however, I have the feeling that Ubi will soon go for retail prices for their games in the mexican currency. Almost all other major publishers (like Capcom, Warner, Activision), do that. For example, Mortal Kombat X is $1000 pesos right now, which is like US$65.

Ubi games are a lot cheaper right now (almost like Brazilian prices), so ended up paying like US$23 for FC4 :D

If they don't, most likely I'll play it before the next summer sale anyway (and, one game less to "worry" about :p).

Edit. También hablo español!! :D

Endless Legend is fantastic and brings some truly unique things to the genre. The only real downside is the combat and if you just auto-resolve every battle it plays basically like a Civ game does.
 
So I am playing AdVenture Capitalist...I don't know why (I think it is because of the falloutesque pictures). It is like a dumbed down farmville
 
Anyone else who has Shadowrun: Dragonfall DC have issues loading into the second area after the brief prologue? Game hasn't frozen as the tooltips keep refreshing but it just loads infinitely.

3 usd is nothing

That's almost two to three partial to full bundles, depending on if you buy them from humble, groupees, or indiegala. That's a decent bit of money.

It's also about 9 Brazilian Reals. That's a good amount of Nuuvem money.
