Tropico 4 needs some Kalypso account but after registrating no e-mail is being sent to me.
Worst 0.40 ever.

You can block Tropico 4 from accessing the internet (or block the Kalypso launcher's website) and it'll skip the Kalypso account stuff and just jump you into the game.

Kick-Ass 2
When was this game announced? Where's Kick-Ass(1)? And why does it have a "Anime" tag? o_O

It has kind of a cellshaded look, but people tend to use the "anime" tag mostly ironic.

Also, huge red flags based on it being a licensed game that wasn't advertised at all. Pretty sure it's terrible.

From a post in the Tropico 4 thread:

"Also, for those that wondered about the Kalypso launcher for Tropico among other games recently, you can just add 127.0.0.1 launcher01.kalypsomedia.com to your hosts file and it'll think you're offline and skip the whole account stuff"

Haven't tried it myself yet, but it sounds like that'll let you bypass the account business altogether.

Is it just me or does the steam client lately cause terrible mouse stutter and lag? CPU usage seems high in task manager.

It seems fine to me. Have yet to experience any problems with it, knock on wood.

Kick-Ass 2

Because the kawaii tag automatically becomes the anime tag when applied now :/

The moshi moshi and desu tags still work, though. Soon.

Does this mean that people can have better guns than others? Because I can't find the guns other people are using, like the AK-47. Unless I use a sniper rifle I can't seem to get one shot kills that others do to me without using sniper rifles.

Yes, people can have better guns than others. If you want a better gun, buy it at the beginning of the round, or drop yours and pick it up from around somebody's corpse.

also, some weapons are only buyable by terrorists, and some are only buyable by counter-terrorists

okay folks
I kinda need help with Killer is Dead

what I have done
- set to 60fps
- set to 4K reso so it is downsampled to my 1920:1200 screen via GeDoSaTo
are there any other settings I need to do to get the best image quality for this game?

and where can I change the voiceacting to Japanese?
and the subtitle font to be larger :O

and where's the option to set the controller buttons to take after the PS3 instead of 360

Came back from watching a movie (The Man with the Iron Fists. HORRIBLE). I hesitated to buy the Tropico Collectors Bundle. Have the base game and never played it. Should I feel bad for missing out ?

Couldn't have been worse than Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Thanks. I did figure out that terrorists and counter-terrorists had different guns. I guess it means that there's a gun in the other team that's the same as the other teams guns? I know you can buy things at the start, but I never figured out what the prices are for. Any gun I choose I would just get.

Many questions :p But I blame Valve for not including a tutorial in the game (at least I haven't found one). I went from the excellent tutorial in Team Fortress 2 to this game. It almost feels like it's not made by the same company.

The game's revive mechanic requires you to mash a button rapdily, this gets borked when the FPS is set to 60 or 120 FPS.
There is a fix for it if you check the game's Guides via Steam.

Bookmarked for posterity, thanks for doing the legwork.

If I remember correctly, you really only need the Modern Times DLC. The rest is not necessary.

Well Lords of Shadow 2 isn't shy with the Symphony of the Night callbacks/dialog winks and nudges. Playing with fire there Mercury Steam. Asides from a few low res textures here and there and some spotty mapping it looks pretty sweet so far and performance good.

Mercury Steam and Konami would have been better served remaking Symphony of the Night for 3DS/Vita/PC/Last-gen instead of Mirror of Fate.

Admittedly, I have not actually played Mirror of Fate.

Buying Secret Ponchos. Seems kind of neat top-down wild west themed shooter. It's still in Early Access. I just watched a stream with the devs and they seem like nice and receptive folks. Currently it's 40% off (till 19th August) and you get a free copy. One thing I'll worried about is small online base at the moment but we'll see.

It's also going to a PS+ game

Winter Soldier is overrated, but man with the iron fists is actually terrible. The story and acting being bad is still ok for a martial arts movie if the fights scenes are actually good, but it fails at that as well.
 
I think i need to give up on getting any drops in Counter-Strike. Still, its been years since I've played it, and between the couple of GAF matches and just playing competitive, I've totally gotten my 7.50 out of it. Just wish my luck didn't suck

I think I should just give up o getting on the cheap and just pay the 7.50 so I can play with gaf :)
