BONJOUR PHAWX!

Hells yea, Bought Babel Rising for 2.50 Euro.

Code works from Amazon France

Worked for me as well. Had a bit of trouble setting up the fake France address, but it looks like everything's fine now.

Just redeemed my code. Thanks for the heads-up!

I think it asks you whether you want to eat a frog or something.

You know what I need from SE?

Final Fantasy 6. And no I dont give 2 fucks if its not the same as the snes version. And no im not going to track down a snes to play the real version. I just want to play that game because I never did.

Also on top of my sale wishes is that chibi dark souls style game with the generic name...tower of fire or something? Im terrible with names.

I'm hoping 4 and 6 get nice discounts. Would prefer they were SNES sprites, but I'm not that choosy. They're my favorite FFs.

*condescending french snort noise* Incroyable! C'est clairement le racisme, celui-là! Nous français / françaises mangeons aussi du pain blanc et des boules de crème. Maintenant, garçon, excuse-moi, car je dois prendre mon scooter au vinicole!

Steam needs to step up it's game in the support department. I was little worried that I had to get in touch with Microsoft support and after hearing horror stories about Steam Support, and remembering Jshackles having issues with his xbox account, I wasn't expecting much but wow they resolved my issues with region changing and xbox live fucking up in an fashion that probably was of script. They even ended the chat with "Stay awesome!" haha.:D

Bought Ninja Blade from GMG for $2 only to find out it's a Playfire key instead of a Steam key.

Every year it seems like there's less and less I'm looking forward to during Steam sales. Every year I always find a bunch for stuff that I didn't know I wanted.

My experience with MS was over the phone and absolutely frustrating. Forced to change a mobo but couldn't reactivate some things, specifically office. I was pretty much put through an Indian call centre 8 times in a row, asked the same recurring questions despite getting different info each time to ask someone about it after being passed along. After I got angry and demanded to speak to managing staff to resolve the situation and report the incompetence or go over their head, I was finally put through to a US operator, with obvious technical skill who guided me through a series of command prompt and regedit steps - solved in 20mins (after 3hrs of shit).

Oh hey, I'm gonna download the newest update to KI and play it a bunch!

- ONE OPERATING SYSTEM WIPE LATER -

God damn it, why won't you work?! First it won't download, now it won't fucking launch! Fucking windows store!

damn. well, bought anyway.

Germany has DLC for 3€, but probably not worth. (base game there includes DLC, but is 12€)

#Indescribable crying noises#

I wasn't kidding about that OS wipe, by the way. And even that didn't fix things! KI won't launch unless it's in my main hard drive, not my second drive with way more space. So now I'm loading it into an external drive I have as a last resort, in case I need more space, to see if that'll do.

Oh wow that does sound aweful.O_O Yeah I think I chatted with someone from india, the language could be very google translate while trying to sound professional. I was about to give up them being able to help me, since it turned out that Xbox live subscription doesn't carry over in a region change flawlessy, one still needs to buy one month gold for 1 euro and I couldn't now, so instead they just canceled my gold and gave me another 3 months code, so I got some extra weeks and getting it to work again.:D

That was another issue I had with MS on the phone. Back in 2007 when I wanted to cancel my Xbox Live renewal, they made it absurdly difficult to cancel. The website loops you so you can't do it and have to call, and on the phone they went through every possible way to try and steer me away from it. Ridiculous.

deus ex mankind divided, yes or no?
the reviews seems all over the place, a part says that's better than human revolution (that i liked a lot), others that it's worse.

Oh man I'm getting little nostalgic about steam winter sales, of course also in the "it used to be better" way but also in that I often could plan how much steam funds I needed, like it was so commen for games to go on sale for 5 euro or 7.5 euro that I always thought before hand of how many games I could get with for example putting in 25 euro. Now the prices are all over and with sales also all over.

Oh yeah I remember that being an issue back then when people I knew tried to cancel.XD

It's really good. Prague is a good location to explore, there's a lot of options as to how you explore the city and approach the various missions, which is great, and there's some really good cyberpunky themes and story going on. It's a little on the nose with it's analogies, but I still appreciated them.

The ending is not necessarily weak, but it's crying out for a sequel. Human Revolution stood alone. This doesn't.

Sacre-bleu ! Je ne saurai tolérer d'aussi basses boutades plus longtemps ! Nous sommes le pays de la liberté, sans qui vous ne seriez aujourd'hui qu'une terre de barbares cuistres et malodorants !
Je vous conspue, monsieur, vous et votre putride logorrhée d'ignominie envers la nation qui défini le bon goût et la noblesse !

...Okay, never mind. Killer Instinct won't launch period, even though I know it launched when it was on my C drive earlier. Damn it.

Sid Meier's Pirates is brilliant, so if you got it from a garbage dump you better return it, because there obviously has been a mistake.

Lmao this made me laugh. Yeah, I've heard good things about it.

By the way, have we gotten any confirmation that Nier: Automata is getting a Steam release?

ABSOLUTELY DO IT

It's the best game this year imo.

So did Idle Master just stop working at some point?

The program runs but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I dropped cards with it like 2-3 days ago and it worked fine.
