Vatican is amazing

I know, I've been there before

Taiwan isn't Bangkok

I've always found those people laughably stupid.

"Sweden? Oh yes, I love Switzerland."

 

[morningbus]

Gears of War? Bland story, but very funny if you have someone to play with.

If you want to pull the trigger GoW is the game to buy. Unless it's that other GoW, then maybe skip it.

I decided to skip it. I didn't really need any more wheat germ (or as I call it, Germ of Wheat).

Thanks anyway.

Metal Gear!? I have to get this.

More like Wooden Gear, but yeah, you can do some amazing things with Besieged.

I too have read the first five novels, I recommend you do a replay, some references would start to make sense, and Witcher 2 still looks mighty gorgeous.

I don't think I can clear my gaming schedule enough right now to finish W1 and W2 before Wild Hunt comes out. I especially wouldn't replay them until finishing the last couple books, though.

The good news is that I found another version of book 6, reedited Dec 2014 to fix a lot of mistakes. This guy expects to have book 7 done this month.

 

[Vazra]

Im happy with messing around on the emu :3

 

[Parsnip]

Boom. Played on very easy this time though, less zombies to dodge and stuff. Kind of regret it now since clearing the game under 3 hours but below normal difficulty won't unlock the super special infinite rocket launcher. Eh, at least I got the achievement.

Also, door skip mod really cuts down the times.

I'm probably way behind on this one, but why was Bioshock 2 removed?

 

[Atraveller]

I apologize if I sounded dickish, people used to joke about foreigners mixing up the two countries, then my friends and I started experiencing the joke in real life, again and again, to the point it really gets on my nerves.

 

[ExoSoul]

?

Nvm, misread Taiwain as Thailaind and was quick to post >.>
Still, there's alternative markets in Taiwan as well, just not the same kind.

Hey I come from the land of "Isn't that in Spain?" or in some cases even "Isn't that in Brazil?"

and the Spanish taking all the glory for our deeds with no sanction from the EU even when they put their lies in school books and get outed doing it

so you know, I get your frustration.
Check the spoiler at your own risk ~_~

I got that feeling as well when they compared it to G2A haha.
I liked it though, even if there wasn't really any new information in it.

Good think I started the replay long ago. Witcher 2 is actually a lot shorter, and you can keep it under 15 hours if you focus on the main quests (and some side quests if you know what you are doing).

For full disclosure, I've actually never played Witcher 1. A friend gave me the 2nd game and I read that it wasn't necessary to play the first. I loved it, but since I heard some opinions that the first one wasn't nearly as good, I never went back to play it.

I recently watched a 3 hour "movie" version of the edited cutscenes and dialogue, but soon I'll have read all the books and comics, consider myself a big Witcher fan, and still haven't actually played the first game.

Saved You a Click: gray market key resellers say they're legit. They are not.

Spoiler

Not a bad article, honestly. Aside from their evangelical praise of one key black market over the other.

Doesn't your keyboard have two alt keys?

guess I didnt try if alt gr worked for the same thing

edit: it doesnt

edit2: oh wait.. think it does

cant believe you cant remap keys holy hell

Humor is too hard to understand, isn't it?

Humor often requires some sort of joke.

 

[someguyinahat]

The Left Alt and Right Alt keypresses can be differentiated, and a lot of times games will only map things to "Left Alt."

Is this regular Shadowrun Returns, not Dragonfall? Because SR had a terrible engine that was multiplatform with mobile which caused a lot of silly problems. For instance, in the initial release there was no manual save - it simply autosaved at the beginning of every room.

Dragonfall should resolve all issues; the devs put a lot more effort into the UI and usability that time around.

I can't see the purchase button.

Huh. Same for me.

Probably a bug.

 

[Mr. Doop]

Yeah, I'm not seeing a purchase button either.

Makes sense.

Razer Naga mouse would be good for something like that, considering its software can let you map any of its 17 buttons to be the Alt key.

But obviously buying a Naga mouse is no real solution to having a bad key

 

[Atraveller]

Huh. Same for me.

Probably a bug.

I've never seen Steam having a bug like that before. It's an old app, not a new app undergoing a lot of changes.

Evolve sure has a lot of skin DLC at launch
Roughly $60 worth

... because of-fucking-course it does!! why wouldn't it?

 

[Chariot]

Nep-Nep, why are you so mean?
I run head on into the next small difficulty spike.

Spoiler

Killachine kicked my ass and I lost some grinding in the factory, murf. Handled the machines, including the optional boss without aw hinch. Now I need to grind beforehand. Urgh.

Man, just think of all those League of Legends novelty skins I could get instead. It'd probably be a better long-term investment, too...

Going from Wikipedia it looks like Dante's Inferno [2010].

Skin DLC are usually not that bad, but in the context of the milking of the game, this just makes the situation for Evolve worse.

 

[LurkerPrime]

It's just skins.

I believe the correct industry term is "Horse Armor" and its getting worse. It used to only cost $5, for something you can actually see and now it's $2.99-$6.99 for something you cannot see.

 

[dex3108]

Mirror's Edge?

When you think about that it is just sad that such big company stopped making new IPs.

Valve. Alien Swarm [2010].

It happens to the best of 'em.

But you can see them...Have you even seen Evolve?

Oh right it's third-person as the monster... Ahem.

I can barely see them in the grim darkness of Evolve, so I stand by my previous post.

It is far better in terms of gameplay I would say. It still feels like an ideafactory game though.
