When EA comes back I'm going to pester it so hard for a Crysis 2 vanilla key.

Surprised they're even bothering with this.
I'll put up with Origin/Steam more than a free game i'm not going to bother with.

they have changed the colors for steam in beta, downloading things in library names are blue, the icon in right hand side on windows is a blue icon, and overall the grey area is alot more blue

EA will come back to steam when their profits hurt.
I admire your optimism, man. Though I think I'd prefer going directly through Origin to having to deal with two login layers, tbh.
So we're in for a long wait, then. :s

That and your avg. game completion rate is mightily impressive btw, I dream of getting to 50% one day but it won't happen.
Thanks a lot for your detailed impressions! They're not only okay to post here but very welcome
You mentioned it was suprisingly short - how long did it take you to beat it?
Would you say the dialogues aren't written very well or did you just not like how they were presented?
So, every time I register for the Saints Row website, it sucessfully creates my account... until I log out. Then it's like the account never existed. I used the same, "taken" user name three times to do this. Must have something to do with whatever they're doing with their forum.
Amen. Preach it.
This and "could care less" drive me crazy, because like you said, it's from complete failure to comprehend what it means. I'm obviously not a grammar stickler, but these and misused apostrophes make me sad and angry. Anyway probably off-topic, but just saw that and had to agree.
Just beautiful. Day one if I can find a good deal.
I feel that I've derailed far too much on this subject already, so this will be my last post on the matter.
I actually am fine with a living language, quite in favor of it actually. I do not speak completely formally or strictly adhere to rigid grammar rules. I'm actually not as much of a Grammar Nazi as my previous posts would suggest. Most of what I said earlier was facetious. I won't literally fight someone, but I might figuratively fight them.
Language being corrupted and evolving over time is great. In many cases language is corrupted, simply because the rigid definitions were not flexible enough for every day conversations. This is why sometimes nouns become used as verbs in informal contexts, and over time this informal usage can become accepted usage. In other cases, we invent new words with similar or identical meanings to existing words, which keeps conversations lively when we can say similar things in very different ways.
But I also don't think every change to language is automatically positive. Some changes impede effective communication. I don't think it's ultimately a bad thing for people to understand the words they use, and why they use them in the way they do. To the extent that I actually bother to correct someone's grammar (which is fairly rare), it's in the service of pointing out illogical usage of words, and the confusion it causes, not to rub it in people's faces how bad their grammar is.
In the case of "literally", if it retains it's original meaning, but is also an antonym of itself, then it means nothing. If you can use a word, and no one can tell in context if you are saying one thing or the exact opposite, then the word becomes useless. Now we have to invent a whole new word to mean "really literal" in order to actually communicate sincerely, at least until people start using that to mean figuratively. No thanks. I have a similar issue with ironic, that now means anything and everything to people.
Well I already own the game, so I guess the one week gametime wouldn't do anything for me. But I would be up for playing some if others on SteamGAF want to.

I would bother booting origin client were it comletely free.
Why so greedy, EA?
Maybe gifts that are purchased before it got ACRTAG are still unlocked
Hey guys,
Since Steam updated its interface this morning I've been unable to use it. My client logs in fine, but any time I try to access one of the steam windows it will freeze and I am unable to click anywhere on it. I've already restarted my computer and it did not solve the problem. Any suggestions?

I live by the rule:
Papers Please! is 50% off
I got ~1500 card drops remaining. It will take some time...
Those gifts are completely locked. They are still up for trade because CDR has added and removed the ACRTAG several times. It's locked now, may be unlocked in a day or two:

Word inversion is not a new thing. It's also used as an intensifier and has (mis) used for more than a hundred years. We can literally put this argument to be nothing more than a peeve.
good game worth buying
and i should sleep... it's 4:10am
i was woken up by a terrible traffic accident on the road outside my appointment
the sound of the collision was deafening.. and the car alarm/horn went off... and continued for at least 30-45 minutes

So talking about Origin whats the way to get games "cheaper" there?
If Dragon Age Inquistion is going to be more like the first i'm thinking I would prefer to get it on PC for the mods.

Did you start your collect-athon back then?
I'm like this unless the game is super awesome and I want it in my veins.I live by the rule:
They're not:
The game's still not region-locked. Actual ACRTAG-locked game:
The Witcher 3:
I've no idea why the flag isn't applying to TW3, but Steam doesn't lie -- the region-lock notices are added automatically if ACRTAG and its ilk are properly present.
For whatever reason, the flag hasn't and has never actually imposed a region-lock on the game.

Ahhh ok i'll look into this then.
I haven't used once at all. I wish that you could print the receipts after I have closed t he activation window though

This looks pretty rad.
Good. Now give me Phantasmagoria 3.
I hope they bring more of Sierra's older games to Steam too.
I really need to get around to playing this before the end of the year.

goddamnit, the netcode for injustice is absolute garbage. it's so bad, in fact, that all 5 people playing online pick deathstroke and just spam bullets all match, because it's super effective given how broken this shit is.
damn shame, the netcode was perfectly fine when i had this game on the ps3 : /

Thanks for reading! I beat it in something like 8 gameplay hours. For the dialogue, it was more the presentation that made it hard to follow. The swapping back and forth on character portraits that never changed expression. That and the use of a lot of proper nouns (kingdoms, positions, people) that at first sound exotic and all the same. It's something where having some voice acting or visual cues would have helped with I think. I hope stating it that way doesn't make me come across as incapable of following a plot, but I just found it requiring slightly more effort than it really needed to require. Here's an early game cutscene that kind of shows a plethora of places and names being rattled off in a manner that I think is just a little messy.
that is so perfect a screencap that i can't tell where the image ends and NeoGAF dark theme begins
Finally got Metal Gear Rising ^^
Thank you Nuuvem
In that case the game will still be super awesome when it's sub 20 bucks. Until then I have my backlog and Dota 2.
Same.
FS15 is my most anticipated title of 2014 and will in my grubby hands..er, hard drive...Day One.

Haha, thanks. It's a little problem I have though, having to 100% almost all games. Not that I'm obsessed with achievements since I'm doing it since I owned a SNES.
I try to keep the avg. game completion around 60% but playfire rewards have created another problem making me start more games than what I can finish xD. But free money is free money.
I have several games missing 1 or 2 achievement to be completed. In time
