It's too bad Aureal was sued into oblivion by Creative all those years ago.

I wish you could download all Steam movies. I feel like Valve could really grow here too.
So MHWilliams confirmed the NS pro controller is recognized through a USB cable in the pc:

Does this mean it should be quick to get it working in steam, or will it already be compatible at launch?

Four Last Things looks like it might be nice. Wishlisted.
Two things I'd love for Valve to work on.
Steam Out of Home Streaming (through the internet like PS remote play). You can already do this with a few workarounds but would be nice to see a optimized streamlined option from Valve. Would make even GPD Win even better.
Steam Gameplay Capture. Since you can already broadcast/stream directly on Steam, why not go one step further and allow for saving and editing videos with the client?
Both would be building on already existing features and don't seem to hard to get right.

How do you activate the DLC?
Is this equivalent to what $ony has been selling as a big feature of their
Yeah, I'd love to have both of those. Though "out of home streaming" has much higher priority for me, Shadowplay is pretty good for capture.

Omg yes please!
Fraps be making man videos so big ;(
And Sony vegas for me has that damn 2GB limit on rendered videos which makes it impossible for me to make a long 1080p 60 fps video -.-
A few people around here will have a 50% off coupon in a couple weeks courtesy of the Pillars 2 Figstarter. I certainly think Tyranny is worth it as is but if you want to save a few more bucks and don't need it right now I can send you mine whenever Obsidian get their backer portal thing active.
Tyranny is excellent. Was my GOTY for 2016.

You're a CHUMP if you didn't GAMEPUMP!!!
You would have to consider the opportunity value for the investment during a month or so, before getting the money back which i guess was semi high for Rhaknar?
This is extremely relevant to my interest. I'm guessing wireless doesn't sync with a BT dongle, as was the case with Wii U Pro...
He posted later that it didn't do anything beyond being able to connect, so it'll probably be that someone has to make another driver for it

Oh yeah, out of home streaming would definitely be the priority if I had to choose. A hardware-agnostic gameplay recording feature would be nice though. I like OBS but it makes some of the more "heavy" games get stutter when recording and streaming. Shadowplay works great for regular capture, but it doesn't seem to ever work right while streaming to Twitch/Youtube (it stops streaming eventually because it says the connection sucks. Even when trying to stream at very low bitrates. Mind you that I have no issues streaming at similar quality from PS4, for example. And the wifi chip on that thing is godawful.
Also, is there any decent free movie editors that can join shadowplay clips without loss of quality? One of the biggest bummers of Shadowplay is that it stops a recording around the 12 min mark and starts a new one. I join them on movie maker or use the youtube clip editor, but both of those options fuck up the quality quite a bit.

Already easier than the PS3 controller confirmed =P

listen to the mad man
So there are several things not accounted for in the infinite value math:
First, direct opportunity cost in the form of compounded interest. My estimate is that if you took $20 out of your high yield savings account (or some other highly liquid savings instrument) to pay for GamePump, and you bought day one, you'd be out about 4 cents interest. But many people didn't buy day one, so I would guess the expected loss is actually closer to about 2.8 cents interest integrating across the time-space of purchases. And of course most people didn't take from their savings account, so they voluntarily made a decision to ignore the opportunity cost. As a result, I feel that 3 cents is a conservative opportunity cost.
Second, opportunity cost in form of reduced capital liquidity. This only impacts purchasers who used their last marginal $20 in liquid capital during the period (i.e. emptied their accounts if they have no access to credit, or maxed their credit instruments during the period). Setting aside the very obvious impulse to beat those people over the head because of their terrible life decisions, I would guess that for most people this cost does not apply. Just the simplest version to look at this is that imagine interest doesn't exist and credit doesn't exist and you have $100 and loan a friend $20 for a month and then they give it back. There was only ever a cost if you planned to buy other things worth between $81 and 100 in the month AND there's a non-interest time value of money to have those purchases early. I am unconvinced this is worth modelling, except for Rhaknar.
Third, the naive assumption fails to model consumption value of getting hyped for GamePump. It's clear that constantly talking about GamePump and following the epic saga gave people enjoyment, and so any model that purports to be fair by taking into account interest must also take into account positive utility from this. You might say "yeah, but weren't a bunch of those people anxious and disappointed about the lack of communication and ultimate cancellation of GamePump?" -- that's true, but I have no idea why you're assigning anxiety and disappointment a negative net utility. Some people are clearly dispositionally anxious, and spend their whole lives being constantly having a conniption about things that don't matter. I think two possible interpretations here are either that they derive utility from anxiety, in which case adding anxiety to their life is EV+, or that they do not derive utility from anxiety, but sources of anxiety are fully substitutionary goods, and so being anxious about GamePump is EV neutral because if they weren't worrying about that they would have spent the same time worrying about something else.
In summary, I think a view of this situation fully informed by the considerations of behavioural economics would vindicate GamePump as having an extraordinarily high positive utility value, even if finite.

MB-D1B2EC2FBBD8294A- Taken by GrinningColossus. 20 entrants total.
Sherlock Homes: Crimes & Punishments is surprisingly weaker than The Testament of Sherlock Holmes. Going by the opening case, at least. Everything feels somewhat forced, going back and forth between half a dozen different locations to do just one thing at one place at any give time is not very fun, and I don't really dig the "you fully decide the outcome" system.
The latter means that you have to figure out the culprit yourself at the end of each case, but the game doesn't punish you for a wrong choice — you're actually not supposed to know what the right one was. There's an option to check the correct answer, but the game advises against it because it would seemingly "detract from the atmosphere".
Well, I hope the game picks up soon. It was just the opening case after all.
Sounds a lot like Starship Troopers (the movie).

You are missing the fact most people do not own dollars. I paid $20 and was refunded $20, but I literally paid 19 and was refunded 18 due to the dollar weakening after the US presidential election.
this is what I am assuming as well as I have received jack shit from them

I used Paypal and received the keys. 😜
I loved C&P compared to Testament, but I enjoyed the open-ended detection part, and the ambiguity of your decisions. That's somewhat the point of the game though, and where it draws the name from (I believe Dostoyevsky's book heavily involves this topic). I didn't end up doing a whole lot of going back and forth (besides what is literally forced on you, which isn't that much). I don't remember which was the first though, but I liked all of them except for the church one which was kind of weird in that it was a lot more of a puzzle-segment than the rest of the game and I didn't realize it for like an hour of flailing about.
What I'm saying is, if you don't like the premise of the first case, you probably aren't going to like the rest of them. But if you take it for what it is, it's good fun. Like I said, I quite liked the open-ended decision and the deduction mapping, it felt way more true to Holmes to me than something so linear.
I tested Dishonored 2 and Watch_Dogs 2 with new RAM modules and it looks like that everything works perfect. Both games use around 9.5GB so I think that I made right call when I purchased additional sticks XD
BTW in Dishonored 2 I get locked 60 FPS and perfect 16.6ms frame time. Game feels and plays great. I guess that I really can't notice issues that other users have.

That frametime that you are being shown isn't real though. That's been the case with this game since it released. It shows perfect frametimes when they're obviously very uneven at points.
