Please realize, Volvo operates on Volvo time. As far as they are concerned at Volvo HQ in great state of WA, you are from the world of tomorrow.
Awww... I really wanted to know who to bet on for the Super Bowl this year... I could use the extra cash. :\
Who dat?
Bwahahahaha
Whats wrong with that? Sometimes you want to remember those games without instalking them.
I was refering to the infidel.
What's wrong with instalking? I thought it was all the rave.
it's good

are they really locking the thread? it was fine during the thanksgiving sale, why would they lock it
please dont make me go in that cesspool of a sale thread
no steamgaf during christmas sales?? D:
I used the Motioninjoy driver + BetterDS3 for full functionality on the DI end, but the Xinput wrapper is the safest/easiest method.
My recent white DS4 seems more robust(sticks, shoulder buttons) than the earlier models I've went through. Hoping it'll last a few years without issue(s).

I never understood why people were like "oh noes, you had a double post"... but I see a lot of people edit theirs down and apologize when it happens on GAF, so I just try to adhere to some semblance of the protocol that seems to be common around here.
And I'm sure if it were your X1 controller, you'd rush right out and fork over another $60.
Now the c on the end of your name makes sense.
It's a shoutout to your homie Cheddahz, who we all know abandoned us and PC gaming for his X1.
Thanks for breaking my heart.
Quiet you. Mr. M&MX is my GOTY even though I wrote 7 articles for PCGamer about how to make Dark Souls 2 uber pretty.
You'll get your wish when the thread is locked next week though... no frost for at least 2 weeks. Imagine how happy all the people will be not to have my grumpy ass lurking around here.
That's so touching i'm going to say that's what the C is for now.
For you recollection

Such a great scene. Especially that canister sound that everyone thinks is a laugh.
Honestly I find it more amazing that he was 100% serious rather than making some joke.
Hoping to get a Urban Camo one. Seems all the colored DS4s have good sticks/are a safer bet.

Started Dragon Age 2 today, and man, the drop in quality coming from Origins is insane right from the start. I might start to tolerate it once I start meeting new companions, but now I understand why everyone hates it so much, wow...
Also, with V-Sync on my 780 started making weird noises, and there was a lot of tearing during cutscenes :/ I've never experienced anything like that before.

Not if they game has 5 story missions and the main goal is to just screw around until you unlock one.
I'm still bitter about that in JC2

WOW at that bundle. I'm grabbing the BTA
It didn't screw up my drivers, but I'm also not recommending it to anyone with the Xinput Wrapper freely available. The only reason(s) I used the MiJ one is due to full button mapping and access to the sixaxis.

Part of it was Alan Wake, Bit Trip 2 and Deadly Premonition. I sent Speevy the links so that he could give them away again. I didn't have Killer is Dead or Not the Robots so I redeemed them both.
Well, I tried to redeem KiD but it says that it's not available in my region (UK). It's an NA + ROW key so I'm going to use Hola to link it to my account via Humble. Is this safe?
Not to worry, it was a very generous bundle all the same!
Hopefully life finds a way...

Same happened when NingenJanai won my Killer is Dead giveaway many months ago. He ended up just giving the key back.
I want to say that it's been mentioned in the thread that Valve isn't as likely to crackdown on you for using a VPN to activate a key vs using a VPN to circumvent local store pricing.

Argh, moving halfway across the country is such a pain. We're moving from Texas to North Carolina. Why should you care you say? Over the Steam Holiday sale I will be traveling to NC to help my wife locate housing for us. I don't have a laptop or an android/apple phone. What's going to be my best bet for purchasing games while I'm gone? I have a kindle fire tablet. I suppose I could log into the steam store that way, yes?

Why can't pre-loaded games just be available to play after it strikes 12 am at valves house
It's up to the developer/publisher. Multiple indie games have had midnight launches recently.

is Kenshi making any progress? That's been on my wishlist forever.
Agreed. It's too hard to be grumpy in the sales thread.
are they really locking the thread? it was fine during the thanksgiving sale, why would they lock it
please dont make me go in that cesspool of a sale thread
Thanksgiving sale was shit compared to the Winter Seal. Everyone with no patience goes in hiding for 2 weeks.
as Rhak said, the sale threads are usually a complete dumpster fire of stupid questions being asked in infinite.

The Camo looks a lot nicer than I originally thought before seeing it in person. It was 5 bucks more, though, so I bit on the white one instead. It's held up well through Dino2 and San Andreas so far.
You have the One pad, how's that one for PC play? The lack of bluetooth for general wireless is disappointing
I usually do as well when I ask a question, it's just most of the time I don't get any replies. Just how it is with a board this large.

I never find it difficult to be an obnoxious grouch.
I do, however, have a limit to the amount of stupid questions I can tolerate ad infinitum before I start throwing glitter and knocking over magazine racks.

The Xbox One is most definitely NOT the Neo of console gaming.

Nice. I didn't know Bob's was getting a run.
Will this featured daily deal be cheaper?
Do you think game X will go on sale?
Is this game region locked?
is this game good?
is this game worth it?
is this game going to be cheaper?
is this game a game or is it a game?
Is it? Croteam(Talos Principle/Serious Sam) said it was up to valve and they would ask for one, this was a month ago and today I see it's for preload but in 20 hours...

All I know is that multiple indie games have had midnight to 3am releases in the last month. Maybe things are different for them. Maybe things are different for Indie pre-loads.
edit: and I'm talking about game release time, not preload.

Is this game good is a legitimate question. I don't read reviews and would rather trust you people.
I love when someone posts a huge Pay It Forward giveaway, I always end up with like 4 new bundle trash games.
Yeah, exactly this. I felt like both threads were better off for it, and we all know what a nightmare the sales threads end up being. And based on the rates of exponential growth from previous sales, this winter sale thread could be one thread per day, and it would be nice to have some refuge from that.

The problem is when there are 30 people asking IS WOLFENSTEIN REALLY THAT GOOD and you're just like, fuck man we've answered that 3 times in this page alone.
not sure what a good solution is outside of linking someone to impressions from steamgaffers or something like that though
It's like people save those things for a rainy day or something.
