Some sites are now reporting May for the 980's replacement. I hope that's true and Nvidia throws Australia something of a bone by converting USD$699 to AUD$899 as I shouldn't have any trouble selling my 980 for $600 and two 670s for about $300 (which I really should have sold already, but I'm lazy).

I actually meant for my name to be ricochetguru, ie good at bouncing off things, but I made the username when I was around 10 so I misspelled it, unintentionally making it a gore porn reference. Have had it for so long that I don't want to change it though.
Exciting, last I heard it wasn't until June so that's a much easier wait. And I hope so for your sake as well, easy to forget how lucky we are with prices in the US.

OK now that a day's passed, I find all this hate on Konami...saddening;
Back in the day
When you saw a Konami game you were guaranteed 90% of the time that it'd be fun in just about any way if you were open minded enough and just wanted that good ol' Konami goodness.
Now everyone hating them and wanting them to crash and burn...feels so 180ish...
For that matter, I think the only Konami games I got atm on Steam are
Revengence
LoS 1
Rocket Knight
Any other games of theirs worth getting?

Man, slim pickin's. I might try the Dirty Bomb first... have it in my library and haven't touched it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Konami is dead, we'll get a metal gear or two more after MGSV and when they bomb to shit they'll sell off their gaming IPs and leave the industry entirely. Video games is such a small portion of Konami these days that i imagine that at some point, it's better to take a lump sum and walk away from the issues it presents than keep trying to make it work given their disinterest in it.
I know you PSN let's you downlaod games even if they removed them fro the store, but gonna download it anyway.

Dirty Bomb is pretty good, worth a try.

starter pack giveaway might still be going on. Just sign up for the site. I got one on the second try. Have been in the beta for a while now, but this way got the extra credit and the 5 mercs unlocked.
here's the GAF thread: www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1018000

All I want is for their ye olde catalog to be available on digital services, that's how they'd live on; with the games that made them great~
That sounds about right for Kon... Hey when did they use Myriad Pro as a corporate typeface? Hmmmmm.
I fired up City the other month and even with waaaay more GPU grunt that the game needs the DX11 renderer is stupidly heavy.
Sure, if that digital service you speak of is iOS. I get the feeling that's where you'll see Konami's classics appearing if anywhere at all.

Guy who stars in Boondock Saints and Walking Dead among other things.
i SHOUld prob. watch the former someday @_@
Oh Konami. They even did a slower version of Sonic that was actually more fun to play.
Wrong game :V
Do it! Brothers is one of my favorite games.
I've always wanted to get this game, not only for myself but also my mom. She worked as an aerospace engineer for her entire life. I feel like she might really enjoy this game, but she has also never played a video game in her life so it could be a complete disaster.
Makes me want to play the game on hard.
Yes, totally.
Because that's totally not the reason the devs are sitting somewhere, giggling about the name, no siree.

I don't want to fall into the hype of The Witcher 3.
Because I don't have a PC to run it until October.
So it's probably a shitty game until then

Hehe, the jump is pretty huge.
I still need to finish the nightmare boss rush achievements in Origin to perfect it, but i'll try that after Ys VI
Now I'm just jelly. I'd love the starter pack, I've contemplated buying it.
Dirty Bomb is so dang good.

Didn't see it posted. Jim's take on the Pay for Mods.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMZaYuXGYSI
His stance is pretty much what I agree with. Modders should get paid for quality content, but the way this service is working in steam might be a bit of a problem.

Act 1 had its fair share of backtracking too (even tho, how much backtracking can you do in 1 hour of game?
), but in this case... the puzzles are, well, utter crap.Broken Age Act 2 Vella side spoilers
connecting the tube? crap! figuring out Shay boots? crap! and now I've got to do something as Mom with power and the repair-thingy and I don't even know what, but the point is I'm not having fun trying to figure out what

Try out that gamespot giveaway then! I don't know if it's still going since for me it displays the code I won.
Unfortunately, it's just not possible to have rational discourse about this at the moment. The Skyrim modding thread is ridiculous.

Totally agreed. Act 1 was great, but Act 2 is kind of crap. I didn't have a problem with the tube because it was a variation of the Full Throttle puzzle so I was in that Shafer mindset. But some of the things, like the low gravity timing bullshit, that was pretty dumb. Felt like artificial padding.
Edit: Also isn't it funny that utensils are some of the best characters in the game?
I think you can just ask another backer for theirs since it's not a key but rather the password to the backer build. DF having Valve set up per-account passwords seems like a lot of work for virtually zero gain.
Now that Konami is short of both Igarashi (yeah i know his 3D-games sucked) and Kojima Konami really hit rock bottom for me. At this point all I expect them to do is to go out of business at some point but I guess that the Phantom Pain money will manage to keep that corpse alive for some time.
But I'm really curious to see what franchise they are trying to resurrect at this years E3 now that the Silent Hill reboot is due for another reboot. A reboot I would really love to see is a Dark Souls-esque Castlevania because imo Dark Souls is what a proper 3D-Castlevania should feel like. But oh well, not going to happen. Maybe a generic FPS reboot of Contra?

Edit: It's been edited now and shows "3 entrants", I guess it was ModBot slacking. Nothing to see here.
PSA: There appears to be an unclaimed Steam key for Dead Space 2 in cyba89's giveaway here.
Not sure if the key has been claimed but ModBot didn't edit, cause I tried to claim it many times since Saturday with no success. I know the rules MULTIENTRY and NOWINNERSDAILY are combined to prevent someone from winning more than one game from the same raffle, but I thought the restriction only applied to the first 24 hours after the draw, but apparently it's perpetual. So someone who didn't win from that giveaway and wants Dead Space 2 should try that.
There's also a copy of To The Moon, but I know nobody wants that
