ya, he posted awesome huge review on it a while back, and I bought it based on that review alone, some time ago too, still haven't played it yet (I feel like I'm repeating last statement way too often lately for my comfort)

Ooooh nice. The one he's posted on Steam is quite thorough but I'll go track down the post here. Cheers. Anyone else got any thoughts on LocoCycle?

Hahaha I've long since given up being a slave to my backlog. I'll get to it when I can and it's not like it's taking up space. My problem is double and triple dipping but now that last gen is starting to wind down I'm slowly flogging off part of my collection I'm done with. Though surprisingly no one want's to buy my copy of PES 2008 on eBay, even for 1p!

I don't think I've ever been contacted by scammers. The only time I've done some trades was for the Sam & Max TF2 items, I sold the Max Head for $100 and told the guy to send the money over by Paypal first. It's probably because I don't have a lot of high-cost items in my inventory though.

I probably have but if I don't recognise the person adding me or they aren't part of a group I'm aware of I usually decline the request. I've got enough issues working out who have my 'friends' list are as it is, the 'To Be Sorted' tag group is getting rather large.
 
So I'm killing time waiting for lunch and I'm deliberating if there's anything part of the Microsoft sale that I might want. LocoCycle comes to mind as it's got those whacky FMV's and I quite like what Twisted Pixel have put out. But I've heard some less than favourably things about the game so I thought I'd have a look-see at the reviews and low and behold what crops up as one of the most recommended ones...



Must have missed Stump posting about it in here but it sounds alright from his and a few others impressions (I'm not expecting much from the game lets be honest).

Wow.
Dude has quite a few likes/dislikes on that review.
I'm jealous. =/

Dunno about Salsa, but as a relatively new 3DS owner I'm a bit miffed. I hope games don't start needing the new hardware



Pure evil :p

Best trade I have done, ever

Yeah, I was bored

Out of 15 friend requests or so after I put some items to trade, 15 were these scam attempts. Not a single legitimate one.

According to enhanced steam toy soldiers use game for windows live however the game has steam achievements. Does this game use GFWL?

I think Russians are using the infamous exploit to buy ROW copies with the russian pricing.

I'm back.

I missed you.

Glad to see you back again :D


With the way Volition ended IV they couldn't think of a proper script for 5 so they're skipping it and going straight for VI.

???

Going straight to VI and skipping V would be so dumb, but so good.

Another day, another (upcoming) simulator game... this time with Steam Workshop support!





Releases in November.

Ehh, RECYCLE looks much better than this.



:p

Age of Mythology: ROW and RU/CIS-specific subs, however while the ROW four-pack and four-pack gift subs are region-locked, single ROW copies are not, so they can be bought on the cheap through traders who use the cross-region purchasing trick.

Rise of Nations: Universal subs, but as with AoM only the four-pack and four-pack gift subs are region-locked.

I wouldn't call the abomination they put there a stick...
More like that clitoris some laptops have if you ask me.

At this point do you really believe that anybody willingly would sell out for EA? That's preposterous theory. What you back it on? just curious

I was kinda joking, but anyway there could be millions of reasons to sell to EA, but I guess to back it on something real I should know what are the terms of the buyout.
Hence I'm surrendering from this debate for lack of proper arguments... :D

Have you ever tried to use that nub on an IBM Thinkpad? It's an exercise in frustration for anything remotely requiring precision.
I disagree. The Thinkpad nub is really amazing in terms of precision for its size when you get used to it. I'm much faster with it than any touchpad I've ever tried.

Now, what are true abominations are all other attempts at similar input devices I've tried from any other manufacturer.
 
I must not trade enough to get scammers. I suppose that's a good thing!
You traded some cards with me.... and now I get stuff like this ;)
Actually I asked you for cards and got them for free. Thanks again.

it's probably only going to be used for camera control, and it looks a bit larger than the thinkpad clit. I guess we'll see!






Anyway, you guys wanna watch something terrible?

this is me getting my very first Ultra Street Fighter IV ranked mp win! :D

Yeah, the exploit is being used.

Really? This exploit is a new thing or always existed?

It's always existed. Valve knows about it, too, as following Ubi plugging the hole in South Park's ROW sub, those who'd bought copies on the cheap and traded them en masse were trade-banned.

I'm so sad no one has ever tried to scam me on Steam.
I feel so discriminated right now.
What, my euros aren't good enough for you?

Any chance that these hackers got the GAF id list and unleashed a wave of phishing bots on us? Seems that a lot of people from here that are not even trading are spammed by them. I get 5-6 phishing bot invites a day and I haven't posted on outpost or streamtrades for months

Could be, I haven't put my name on the list and haven't had any people spamming with requests so far.

To be honest I am offline most of the time.

Yeah that could be the case that my workflow consists mainly roundtripping between Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop and that I'm so used to using a tablet and keyboard shortcuts for donkeys years that I'm not accustomed to change.

I can remember Acer and Gateway putting them on their Laptops and Notebooks in the past but my experience with Acer products usually ends before they get to the end of their warranty period.
 
So I saw that GOG is having a sale because a bunch of games are going to be removed, these games aren't going to be removed from Steam too, are they?

Got added by a person with private profile the day I was leaving the US, I asked the person "do I know you", then went offline. When I got off at Tokyo, I found out that person has already unfriended me.

from what they've said, it seems GOG couldn't come to an agreement with certain publishers about regional pricing so they're going their separate ways, hence the sale.
