Milamber is your lil sis? :O

Shocking revelation right there.
But what did you buy? You didn't just buy a game that isn't on sale. Right. RIGHT?Milamber would be the girl from OreImo.
It was 25% off. It's Moenovel's only game right now so I doubt they will seriously discount their only cash cow now.
The short story of it was basically wooing a handicapped girl.
 
I'm so upset atm, i updated my nexus 4 to the latest firmware and it completely fucked it up, i cant receive calls or text, the home button don't work and I can't access settings through the notification bar. I googled it but didn't find a solution so I'm gotta factory reset my phone, hopefully that fixes it. -_- did I miss any pricing errors today?
 
Wanting to grab an ultrawide monitor, the LG non curved variant is currently around 810 dollars at newegg. It isn't going to be replaced any time soon is it? There's a curved variant currently available and Dell's new curved model is coming out soon but both of those cost 1299 and unless there's a huge difference in screen quality I doubt the 500 dollar premium is worth it?
 
whats so special about curved displays? I remember seeing a curved tv at bestbuy, shit was insanely priced, it was nothing special at first glance, idk if maybe I'm just not getting the appeal or if its simply new tech so I should just fork over like 3k for it cause well, IT NEW, MAN!!

More privacy when watching pron?
 
It's the sixth night of Hanukkah, which mean's it's time for another giveaway. Ruruja won Valiant Hearts yesterday and this was his choice for today:

To whoever wins the raffle: Please PM me the name of a game you want to see in tomorrow's giveaway. Just one simple rule: It must be available on Steam for 10 Euro's or less. (since I still don't own a money tree)
If I don't receive a reccomendation in 24 hours, i'll get one of the titles some other nice Gaffers recommended or choose one myself.

Happy holiday's! :)

I love this giveaway idea. Makes me wish I could win so I could choose the next prize.

Probably wasn't just the curve adding to the price in that case.
 
is there any specific order i should play the "other campaigns" in Dragon Age Origins? story wise or compatibility wise? aiming for the best experience that doesn't spoil another dlc, for example, if i played witch hunt first, would it spoil something in awakening or Leleina's song, or will there be compatibility issues with importing my character?

Won two good games yesterday, so I wanted to give something in return.
Something for folks who were on the fence about some Batman and missed the deal because of it.

The best order would be DA:O, Awakening, Golems of Amgarrak, then Witch Hunt. I think there might be issues with importing your character if you try to do it in any other order, but it's been ages since I played through them.

Leliana's Song and Darkspawn Chronicles are stand alone, so it doesn't matter. Darkspawn Chronicles should also not be played by anyone.

IIRC it goes DAO, the expansion and then Witch Hunt as the final piece. The rest don't matter story-wise.

I said I would let you summon me!

He's actually not that bad as soon as you isolate him, just a matter of fighting carefully until the dogs are dead.

The "other side" is scary... :/

"RPG mechanics are non-existent. You don't have a single dialogue option anywhere and conversations between characters are slideshows with every anime trope imaginable. "

RPG mechanics = dialogue options, apparently.

Although to be fair, the game is definitely a strategy game first and an RPG second. Like most SRPG's, really.

EDIT: I also kind of agree with him on the menu thing, although it is a damn great port outside of that.

Is LA Noire with all the DLC worth it for $5.09, I have always been intrigued by the game but never bit on it. $5.09 seems like a great price

It ran like but for me (barely hold 30fps) but as far as the games quality, absolutely, it's a really cool game with some unique stuff about it and the facial capture stuff is incredible, and some of the DLC cases are the best in the game, the Nicholson Electroplating one I particularly liked.

It's a cool game but it can also be really slow and has some annoying pacing issues (second desk especially)
Also I constantly had to wait or the game world to render or I would simply outrun it and drive in a completly grey area until I hit a building.

From anyone who has played Prison Architect, what have you thought of it?

If you get frustrated easily, don't. I like it, so far. There's some minor errors you can make that are absolutely hilarious, and it's definitely a good time waster.
Just make sure to lock the prisoners inside, good god.

Capra Demon is the first 'fuck you' fight as it pits you against multiple foes in a really tight space. First time everyone get's there they get mashed straight in the face unless you're really lucky. Once you work out the encounter and the environment it's actually quite a simple boss encounter. Well if you're a melee build.

Making my GAF GOTY ballot, I've reduced the list of candidates to 16 games. Now is where the pain starts. 6 games to cross out, ugh.

From anyone who has played Prison Architect, what have you thought of it?

Fantastic game even if it's still far from being completed.

Holy crap, 2014 was so fucking amazing. I mean, I knew that, but seeing it like this really drives the message home.

Do you want me to start ignoring you?

Eh, but not everyone!
When I opened his door, my framerate dropped to unplayable digits, like 5 or so, I got a glimpse of a bad guy in front of me and I started mashing the light attack button, then the camera did something, I saw his friends around me, I mashed heavyer and faster => beat him at first try.

From anyone who has played Prison Architect, what have you thought of it?

It's interesting enough for the $5 or whatever it is now. I like the premise as I don't believe there are too many games with prison as the setting.

Have you seen this LG one? I want it. $580. Looks really awesome. I have a 27" Korean 1440P IPS but man, I want that LG.

The fact that they are not in acending alphabetical order from right to left is distracting.

Only one of the Community games will be getting 80% off, though, seems they fixed that since yesterday's all 75% off deal seeing as today it's 66% off x 2 and 80% off x 1. The other two will be 50% off, I think.

Also, now for a me post, I finally bought Mass Effect trilogy. I never played any of the games, believe it or not. What sucks is that I can't use a controller without a mod. That really stinks. I have my PC hooked up to my TV in a Steambox way. Never use a kbm with it. I guess I'll Steam Stream it to my desktop set up.

Looking forward to Mass Effect. I don't know when I will get a chance to play it but $10 for all three. Good deal.

Yes, I guess this is an Origins post, but you are my PC brothers :(

I should amend the 'unless you're really lucky part' to also include 'or cheese him good and proper'. My first time was an amature mistake (and considering I had played Demon's Souls countless times before I really should have known better) as I went through the fog gate with my shield down and BLATT!!!

I see. I'll be voting for 3Dmark then, as I'd like to use the firestrike benchmark without watching the whole demo beforehand.
