So I spent most of Sunday "breaking in" my new superpowered gaming desktop with some Wolfenstein TLO, Divinity:OS, and Warframe. Man, this was one hell of an upgrade. Jaw-dropping all around.
But there's this little voice in the back of my ear going "You should get Eliteangerous"
That's a dumb voice that I shouldn't listen to, right?
Let me quote my friend Megasoum
If I had the money for a HOTAS and a Rift and a nice rig you guys would never see me again.

Did the same. Well, the breaking in a new videocard part.
FurCry4 is the only "shiny" new game I really have, the rest was mostly "okay this looks slightly better, but not all that much"
I have to say the Batman PhysX stuff is crazy, though.
gamersgate.com is not #gamergate.
I'm shocked at how quickly IG took action. While it's disappointing that they didn't keep the "redeemed to X" text for the games that have already been redeemed, at least they didn't take days to fix the problem.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
1) Just want to be clear I'm totally for the gamergate tag.
2) I feel really bad for GamersGate.com, whose brand has been pretty tarnished by this shit.

ROFL. Not sure of the context, but I'm lol'ing over here.
Apparently modbot now has a tag warning people about games that are in some way affiliated with gamergate. Since all the other modbot tags warn people about alternative DRM, there was confusion.
Yeah, to save anyone from the suspense, Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell are all Uplay.
Steam games are Might and Magic X, R.U.S.E., Babel Rising,

Galactic Civilizations II Ultimate Edition -- MB-6D6F72F8D4F94A4

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's really amazing game. I wasn't convinced at first and even put the game back on shelf after playing 360 version for about hour, but when I started again when PC ver released I was hooked. Story is really gripping and characters are so good that I almost cried when I finally had to finish the game and say goodbye to them. Don't worry about timed missions - if you won't make it in time, you can just try on next in-game day.
Here's very helpful guide that will help you go through rough beginning and actually give you some useful tips: http://planetredwood.webs.com/beginnersmanual.htm
Just bear in mind that PC version is REALLY buggy, at least it was for me. When it works, it works great and but when it stops you maybe won't even be able to run it. Just look for some troubleshooting on steam forums and you probably will be fine.
All in all it's outstanding game and my personal GOAT, so at least give it a try and don't be off-put by first hour. Deadly Premonition is worth it!

I know it's not steam-related (or even gaming-related), but goddammit - I'm excited!!
Made my day, thanks for that.
It's quite depressing when you realise you own pretty much every UbiSoft game on Steam, what can I say I like their spin on 'game design'.
Speaking of which I was having a faff about with Watch Dogs at the weekend and it's the first time in a while I've played it connected online. So obviously the first think that happens is that I get hacked and someone trying to install a backdrop on me. Of course this isn't my first rodeo so I quickly craft a Jam Comms to stop the progress bar and my would be hacker freaked out and burst out of their hiding spot, into a near by car and sped off. Sadly I didn't catch them and they must high gone offline as when I went to try to hack them back they didn't show up.
Anywho may as well take out revenge on some complete innocent person right? So same thing again only this time I'm the hacker on some unsuspecting fool. Now I know the prompt only comes up that you're being hacked is when you press the dpad down to initiate it but you can scout your target, profile them and then hide before they know you there. So I find my guy right by a freeway bridge underneath. No idea what he's doing down there but there is a story mission in this area so could be that. So I park my car above him, get out and hide behind a road main tence sign and hack the security camera to get a view bellow. From the camera I then hack my target and initiate the backdoor and proceed to watch him run around like a headless chicken trying to find who's grieving his game. At about 70 odd % he comes up to the bridge and sees my car but after a quick glance ignores it due to me being hid else where and returns downstairs. By about 75% my location circle on his and my screen is tiny enough to narrow it down to 2 obvious spots so I creepy into my car and press the hide button. By 95% he comes upstairs again and starts coming towards my car which I'm now slumped in the drivers seat not very well hidden but by the time he gets over to me 100% ticks by and contract complete for yours truly.
It has it's moments with some of the online stuff. Race and CtOS tablet modes are different but pretty much dead and I've not looked at the 4 v 4 PVP modes but Intrusion and Tailing (the missions I described) are kind of like a spin on hide and seek that can get a little bit Gung Ho at times. Be intrest to see what Watch Doggies 2 brings to the table.

Quick question. After wrapping up Inquisition, I thought it was time to make a start on Telltale's Tales from the Bordlerlands and Game of Thrones. Neither of them work now that I've set them to full screen with my TV's resolution. I know they work fullscreen with a smaller resolution or windowed, but when I start them up now all I get is a black screen. I've tried redownloading them and verifying the game cache, but nothing. Is there a way to put their settings back to default?
It's out tomorrow? Fuck, I'm only at Sequence 5ish. Time to put Ryse on the back burner and pull my finger out. Doesn't help that I'm getting side tracked with the Paris Stories, Murder Mysteries and Nostrodamus Enigma's. I know Unity got some stick for it's story but those three side activities really flesh out game world and give some nifty bonuses like shortcuts and extra gear.

1768 x 992. Which isn't perfect, but it's ... closest. An even an option they offered. Just have a HDMI cord from the computer to the TV, and yeah, pretty comfy couch.

That's odd then since it's not like it's something above 1920x1080.
TT stuff is saved in My Documents. So maybe deleting that since you haven't started my let you try again.
Since verifying just checks to see that everything is there and wouldn't reset something like a resolution I don't think.

I have that BS as well.
If some one wants mine as well you can have it.
I'm assuming they stack.
I know. Gamersgate is its own platform hence post. Stump should have modbot generate a legend for that GG tag, or any tag really, to avoid confusion. Especially since Modbot is sometimes used for giveaways outside the main Steam OTs.

Success! Wiped the folders and now we're good. Thanks a lot.
I find it surprising that Stump included such an editorial addition to Modbot. I understand the poop tag and its purpose, and even that seemed largely done with humor. But my impression with the whole hashtag thing was the general opinion now was to not give it more attention in hopes it will die, not to use it as some sort of scarlet letter.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
It's Gaben's favorite game, so they'd probably let Mario 64 slide.
So uh I've been playing Trails in the Sky and having a good time. I for some reason only recently realized I could connect my laptop to my television. Anyway, just as big picture mode does with Ys Oath in Felghana it tells me it only supports keyboard but my controller (Wii U Pro via mayflash adapter and xinput) works fine. Until today. My controller still works fine on big picture mode, still works fine in Ys, just doesn't register on TiTS anymore. I had changed the resolution to match my televisions as I'd had it wrong for my first 16 hours, but even when I restored default settings and restarting my laptop I'm still getting absolutely no input in the game.
Does anyone have any idea what's up?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Valve being the typical American prudes they are took down my erotic one man art show where I wear a kawaii doll mask and play a pinball machine by smacking my dick against it.
Fuck this nation of Puritans.
It would obviously be an emulator running a rom of a downloaded game?

And the top of the views list isn't that big a deal anyway. Right now the top broadcaster has 11 viewers. Only two dozen broadcasters have two viewers or more. If someone at Valve was actively moderating broadcasts to that extent, I'd say they had way too much time on their hands.

Emulators can be perfectly legal or people can stream from the original console with a capture card.

It is possible to dump your own ROM and play it and the emulator itself is not illegal.
