I'm finding this out too. The spring jump and the other jump are hard to get the timing down. I like watching the replay if i get stuck at the beginning of the track but if i'm towards the end if freaking starts the replay all over so you have to watch it from the beginning every time and then start the track all over.

I just bought COH Gold and am loving it so far! I've never played a Civ game before (I'm an AoE player). Would anyone recommend Civ 4?

Before you know it you'll be doing those things with ease.
I've owned the game since release, but only put 12 hours on it until last week when I fell sick and started playing it again. I've got about 21 hours on it now.
I've completed all easy and medium tracks without any falls/faults. I've completed all the hard tracks (but with a lot of faults).
Hell, I spent 1 hour (the time limit) and 500+ restarts on 'Inferno' (last hard track) before completing it today with just 100 faults or so.

Yes, omg yes. I can't concentrate at work because I'm thinking about going home and playing Civ4.striKeVillain! said:
...maybe that's not a good recommendation.

It's truly amazing that I never played one. I've always loved RTSs and SimCity, and Civ is like a turn-based combination of both cranked up to epicness. I've known of its greatness for a while, but I've also known it would mercilessly take over my gaming time.

If GAF is screwing me on World of Goo and Aquaria there will be blood.
Hm, wtf.
I purchased beyond good and evil a few days back and just now i tried to play the game, however when i try to start a new game the video and audio are completely out of sync.
Looks like audio runs at 100% speed but video only at 50% or something.
I tried lowering the resolution and such to really low but that didn't help either.
I'm running T7500 2.2 GHz, 2gb Ram and 8600GT 256MB DDR3. (dell xps)
Anyone know anything to fix this?

I know of the bug youre talking about, it has to do with one of the settings in the video options launcher. Im not entirely sure off the top of my head, but if you disable V-Sync or Texture filtering, or something like that, itll fix it. Im at work so I cant check, but fiddle around with the video options.
I has an issue!
I can't make Aquaria run correctly (Vista 32-bit).
Whenever I start it, I choose the resolution and options it gives you, then launch. Then it sets the resolution to whatever I put it at and puts the game in the task bar and just sits there. I click it and it goes black screen then back to my desktop, and I can even hear the music, but can't see what's going on.

Ok - So I'm definitely going to pick up the Dawn of War pack (minus Soulstorm). Now I'm debating about the id Superpack. Can anyone who owns this and has played it quite a bit shed any light on how well it holds up? I used to love id's games; however, I'm not sure how well they would run on a widescreen. $35 is such a sweet deal for the ridiculous amount of games in there, assuming they all run well on newer machines.

I'm kind of new to Steam. With that said, I bought Call of Duty 4 from Amazon and installed it to my PC. I clicked "Add a Non-Steam game" and added it to my steam list. How can I get it be recognized as if I downloaded it from Steam?
I entered the key code into "Activate a product on Steam" and it said it was invalid.

You can edit config files for all of the newer 3D games to have them run in widescreen with the correct aspect ratio so you're covered there. You can even run Doom/Doom 2 in ridiculously high widescreen resolutions with a auncher like jDoom or whatever they use these days. It even adds mouselook if you want. Totally rad.PatzCU said:
The older stuff will look like garbage unless you configure your monitor/video card to disable scaling.
Only a few non-Valve games allow for this. Someone posted a list earlier.striKeVillain! said:

What page is that list on?Volcynika said:
If you get this problem, you need to disable multi-core processing for this game.Kawaii said:
Start the game, open task manager, right-click the game process, click "Set affinity", and deselect all cores but 1.
You're misunderstanding the purpose of "add a non-steam game". You can't leech free bandwidth from Steam by registering any random retail game on the service. There is only a select few that support this:striKeVillain! said:

The only thing that adding other non-Steam games does is allow you to use the in-game overlay to chat with people, and have one convenient launching point for all your games.

Alright, at least I have a central hub to launch from. Still getting used to PC gaming (Haven't done it in a long while). Thanks.dLMN8R said:

Is Race 07 any good? Tempted to get it since it's $5.
I see you've already bought it, but it's a fun strategy game. Worth the price, definately.psy18 said:
As far as racing games go, this is about as realistic as you can get. The presentation's really nice, fun to play with a steering wheel too, but don't expect it to always be easy. I've enjoyed it so far for $5.crimsonheadGCN said:
