Do you need to start a new game to see the features of Enemy Within in XCOM?
Well that's a shame especially considering that their UK prices are so much higher than Amazon US.
Oh well, I still have like 16£ to burn and I might as well do it on Civ:BE
I think thats the Over/underscan "feature" was driving me crazy after I switched from nvidea to AMD. The option is in the catalyst control center under "my Flatmonitor (or something something, i have it in german)

I didn't, I turned the PC off and put the DVI cable back in.

This is why multiple categories is a Godsend.
I no longer need Telltale - The Walking Dead, Telltale - Sam & Max, etc.
I can put them in both Telltale and their respective franchise category.
Yo.
I am the dumbest one. I didn't even understand I had to write three fictional names, only wrote one lol
Glad you're back
You're not the only one -- unless he counts the random "thought process" i wrote up while coming to the "dumbest" character they could add.
And I'm not back, don't get used to it. This post is brought to you by Stallion Free, since I'm answering his call.
Playing Testament of Sherlock Holmes, some of those puzzles are insane. I really don't have patience to try to solve the most hardest ones... Otherwise it's quite good, played seven hours now, story is ok. Technically it's little poor, but not bad. If you like adventure games, give it a chance.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Can someone in Japan confirm this: it seems that while the Steam store is in Japanese Yen, the Steam market is still in USD. Is that correct or am I just going crazy?

Look in your AMD control panel for overscan compensation and get rid of that noise. That was my biggest gripe with amd cards.

I think we will be able to do most of them with 3 of us. Add me http://steamcommunity.com/id/stallionfree
And we can figure out when we want to plow through them.

I haven't seen it on sale before.

lol true. I know that there are a few people here though that have been reporting on this and following it closely and wasn't sure if they were aware.
Either way, I've converted my market data from USD to JPY so badge pages and the like will show the lowest price of cards, average badge completion costs, and total approximate worth of card drops in Yen. So if the market is still in USD those figures might be slightly off is all.

I have a contact on my friend list who is from japan, right now he's playing but I'll try and ask him and will let you know.
Define "good".
It reaches its goal amiably, I've heard, but it's not really something you play for fun, if that makes sense.

i remember that the most relevant reviews were negative on its store page (pre-shitstorm) so take that as you will, i haven't played it
it's a text based adventure where you deal with depression

Ok, I followed a link to a GianBomb video and started browsing their site. There is content behind a monthly fee?! Wow, I never saw a gaming outlet have something like this before. I guess it's worth it because there are so many people citing them/linking their stuff/even humongous threads.
Still, anyone care to explain what they like about GB? How come they can't stay alive "free" when others can/they belong to a rich company now?

They were teasing EP5 on their facebook.
So I would think so.

It's more of an educational tool. For people with depression it is familiar territory, for those who haven't been through that it certainly paints a picture of what someone with depression might go through.
The whole tabloid mess when it was first released and the current one is just disgusting.

they do quick looks of games for free and their feature videos are behind a paywall.
They started back in 2008 as former Gamespot peeps.. It's a personality driven website and they're pretty funny. Most people feel so close to the guys on the site that they often openly state that they wish X person was their dad.
It's a great site.

Ah, ok. Makes sens....

Are they comparable to the ultra-die-hard fans of yogscast who even through the failed KS game defended them heavily or is it more level-headed?
Only saw some gifs and a couple funny short video clips. And I also remember that one guy who got fired from his time at Gamespot.

I don't think they're being predatory, I said they didn't know the affects of their actions.
But tell you what, if their plans of adding value for fans is a $10 save converter, I hope their fans are really dedicated. Seeing prices like that certainly takes away value from people like me, so maybe they can take my neurotic nature into account next time they do this shit.
The jist of it is, they are a smaller site, and they can't compete directly with Gamespot and IGN. They don't have enough people to get scoops on all the gaming news that comes out in a day, nor can they review every game that comes out. They don't get enough unique viewers to stay afloat on ad revenue alone. Them being owned by a large company doesn't really matter in the long run, because they still operate mostly autonomously, except that their owner expects them not to lose money.
What they do have is entertaining video content and podcasts. As Freedom = $1.05 mentioned, they are a personality driven site. People tend to view their content for entertainment value moreso than anything else, and because they feel a personal bond with the people behind the site. They produce a lot of video content that is specifically geared towards their fans, and they lock some of this behind a paywall.
I don't subscribe, because I don't even have enough time to watch most of their free content. But I would guess the people who do subscribe get their money's worth. And for people unwilling to do so, there is still plenty of content on their site.

The website was a result of Jeff Gerstmann getting fired over some unethical BS that his employers at Gamespot were trying to pull at the time. Their fans tend to be more sensible and well informed about the industry because of that, among other things. I believe their podcast is currently the #1 gaming podcast on the net, too.
I suggest you listen to some of their podcasts to see if it works for you. most people become fans of the site through the podcast.
