Don't worry they are making it look bad on purpose today.
Then tomorrow they will take your wallet out for a nice dinner, slip the date rape drug into her glass as she is in the washroom, take her into an alley behind the restaurant, do bad things to it, then dump its body in the dumpster.
I think I took that a bit too far huh? :lol
I know my friends wallet is taking a beating from all the packs and daily deals he bought, he went over his steam Christmas/new years sale budget. He is actually pissed, but it is too good too pass up on.
Guys i want to get red alert 3, however the demo simply wont allow me to go windowed or to go past 1024/768 in resolution, to which i have no idea why.
Has anyone else experienced this problem in the full game? or the demo for that matter?

is counter strike source playable for someone who hasn't played counterstrike since 2001 and has no idea about higher level play? or is this going to be a spawn-die-spawn-die type thing?
I now have 56GB of backlogged steam games to download, and a monthly cap of 70GB....
Cap resets at midnight tonight (and I still have 8GB to burn through today), but I will have to space these downloads out for the next two months not to bust my cap. Especially if I get Mass Effect 2 on the 26th. Expecting that to be another 10-15GB game.
Whoever decided that it would be a good idea to cap a 30mbps line at 70GB per month is evil.

Well, I've been playing it since 1.5, but I've never got to that higher tier and I find it easy to go back to after months and months of not playing.SonOfABeep said:
Just such for a sever that's not too competitive and you'll have a blast. It's still fantastic fun, even after COD, TF2, etc...

Eh, I guess I'll pick up Trine. Kinda unsure about it.
Also, I love the amount of LTTP threads the Steam Sale is creating. :lol

I joined some server with "noob" in the title having never played any Counterstrike, but I think it was actually a "noob clan" server. Still, most people weren't raging and I just muted the loud ones, so it's more of a matter of goofing around and doing what you want, or trying to play with your team. As long as you're okay with half the people using the AWP sniper rifle and instakilling you if you walk around the wrong corner, you're fine.SonOfABeep said:

heh thanks. guess it's worth five dollars.
Vanilla Counter Strike was impossible to get back into for me when I found an old key i activated on steam so I wondered if source was any better.
SonOfABeep said:
It's really not worth $5. 1.6 is still playable, and a much better game. Trust me, the skill level/gap in 1.6 is not as bad as you make it. People are still average at that game. Source is just blah, and has elements that cut down on a learning curve, and skill gap. The game feels terrible in comparison. Valve barely worked on Source, and there are so many bugs that will go unfixed.

I still hold out hope for a great Drakensang deal tomorrow...as unlike King's Bounty: AP, it hasn't even been partially discounted throughout the entire sale.

Hm. Seems I now must decide if I should buy Trine on PC or PS3.

Counter-Strike is tempting - but I'm sure the community will be able to kick my ass considering I'm a literal, complete n00b at the game.
Morrowind is tempting - I bought vanilla MW on PC and put in hundreds of hours. Then bought the GOTY on Xbox and put another few hundred hours. Tempting to buy so I can install on my new PC with everything finally maxed and new mods. Hm, tempting indeed.

The best part was that I just used the giant machine gun most every life. I wouldn't kill people very often, but every once in a while I would run around a corner or two strategically, or after a grenade, and just empty the machine gun into their torso/head region. Occasionally that would result in some amusing comments from the dead pro players. :lolSonOfABeep said:
I do hate that the screen goes white for flashbangs instead of grey or something though, it's practically blinding even with monitor brightness down, if I recall correctly. Some of the gun sounds are also really loud with earphones so I turned them down.

Does Trine have any real replay value?

I always sucked at 1.5/6, so I guess that's why I prefer Source. I've been playing it since the beta and I can still go back and have a blast with it.vocab said:
<3 CSS for life. The lack of updates is sucky, though.
Zzoram said:
Yes, and no. It still has Counter Strike elements, but the recoil is less apparent, and it feels less like an aim based game. Dealing with flashes in Source is a nightmare, but in 1.6 If you know how to turn your mouse, and/or know the angles of when Flashbangs go off/fly off, you can avoid about 95% of flashbangs. High level source is all about counter flashing.

I didn't like Oblivion. Didn't hate it just didn't love it. I probably shouldn't get morrowind right?
I've got CSS, Painkiller, Trine and CoH so I don't need Red Alert...CoH is the only RTS I need lol
too bad. there's some good deals here just nothing for me

Fuck it, I'm triple dipping on Morrowind. I've never been able to max the game out and now I have a chance to, considering I can max out Oblivion.
If you would hate a larger "feeling" world, 3x the factions, a deeper magic system, and a world with a ton more variety in quests and unique environments, then yeah, you probably would hate it.
Edit: added "feeling" because I know Oblivion is a larger world that Morrowind. But with fewer fast-travel options and some deceptively large open areas, you'd never know.

Worst day of deals yet. We definitely need a cheap Fallout 3 pack. Or maybe the first Modern Warfare or Borderlands for 10 bucks would be cool. Also we need all the old sales to come back for the last day.

So what's a good site for Morrowind mods? I'm not quite sure if I'll get it, but I want to see if there is any sort of interesting mods developed for the game.

My main Elder Scrolls mod sites. Nexus also does great collections of Fallout and Dragon Age mods.
Am I going to have to post my Morrowind mods after already PMing a ton of people my Oblivion mods a few months ago? :lol
I am playing Crysis and the stuttering is just making me mad. Can't play the game at all! This is the CPU usage:
The first half is in-game. See those spikes? I am more than fine with the game dropping to 15-20FPS every once in a while since normally it runs at 30, but when I for example zoom, the game stutters and then proceeds. It has come to the point that sometimes the game halts completely, CPU and GPU usage drop to 0% and the game automatically pauses when it starts working again. Making me so pissed off.

Do the script/graphic extenders and such work for the Steam version of Morrowind without having to use a cracked .exe?

I was wondering if any of you guys have some advice or help for my Crysis issue I posted some pages back.
