Not cancer is good! (I had a similar scare a few months ago)
I'm happy for you and your dad.
I wonder if it's only because of the licensed music or if it also had to do with what was going on behind the scenes. My best friend worked for them and it was not pretty.
Anyway, I hope I'll get the game someday. Someday.

Me too.
The only place Strider belongs is in a dumpster.
Because it's inferior to DS3 SCP service.

It still shows up as available and I haven't received a receipt from Modbod. Don't know what could be wrong.

Maybe they could invest the money with the intention to wait for HL3 and by the time it comes out they'll have millions!
Congrats. The waiting for the results on those tests can be nerve wrecking.

Huzzah! I don't know you, but am glad to hear it!
Why? It didn't look that bad. Haven't played it yet but looked interesting enough to get it during a sale.
Why hasn't there been a Critter Crunch and Might and Magic deep discount sale often?
It's safe to say that any turbulence experienced at Illusion had no bearing on the game's availability. It was a decade old prior to being yanked and the studio was bought by 2K, making Mafia entirely a 2K IP (the Titan Quest games weren't yanked from DD stores despite Iron Lore's closure, for example, because THQ owned them outright).
I've lost family members to cancer so I'm feeling you. Glad your dad is fine

Argh, it's gonna be torture waiting for the new Civ, moreso when Uni's gonna get in the way
Since the OP seemed to be the exact same as a guide I followed on gaf, I went to the DS4 page (http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInp...-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller?pid=334146#pid334146) and just followed that replacing all instances of DS4 with DS3. In "zadig.exe" my PC recognizes a "playstation 3 controller" and is able to install drivers. Not sure where to go after that though.
Millions they could bequeath to their children because the game still wouldn't be out.

Check and see if the service is running, I've had problems with installing it with my dualshock 3 for a while because the installer just wouldn't install the service, I ended up manually adding the service myself using a command line.

This is the best solution. Motioninjoy is malware.

lol... isnt it the same base driver? lol
I do enjoy the fact that Bundle Stars deals only in Steam keys, but I think the site needs to consider reducing frequency in favour of chasing a game or two that hasn't been bundled sixty million times in the past. That begin dabbling in Greenlight games.
These kind of news are always great
I hope your dad will feel better soon!
Thanks guys. We had a scare there. My dad's fine. He came out of anesthesia fine and was walking faster than me
I'm only slightly embarrassed by that

I used to use Motioninjoy and I don't recall having any problems. what kind of malware was it?Could you dumb that down for me a bit? Like I'm basically just blindly following any instructions so I'm not sure what the service is or how to see if it's running.
Fancy a bit of a gamble? Here's a chance to win THE SIMS 3 (Origin key)!
If you win the raffle, it's 50/50 chance for The Sims 3, and the other one is something bad...
So good luck!

oh something bad. good thing I already own the sims 3. pick carefully or you'll end up with bad rats guys.
Oh yeah that's right duh. I forgot it came out in the early 00's.
And with all this Mafia talk I'm hyped for Mafia 3. Hopefully they don't have to go development hell like the prior team.
Ah, poopy. I already have the Sims and it would be a shame to win it.Fancy a bit of a gamble? Here's a chance to win THE SIMS 3 (Origin key)!

That's always great news! I've had similar experiences alot recently with my father, and those moments of relief is such a great feeling.Looks great, though the web looks unnecessarily complex.

listen to the mad man
You've won too frequently over the last week and are being throttled from winning again for a little while. This is an automatic process.

It created a lot of registry problems with many GAFfers' PCs as well as BSOD. It's super hard to remove from your system. And it periodically connects to a Chinese server for reasons.
Haha, yeah, I keep thinking that it released in 2006 for some reason.
I think it adds much needed depth and variation to the simple tech tree of Civ V. I can't wait.

I'd rather toss your pessimism in the dumpster
Mr. I-enjoyed-Alien-Colonial-Marines
So, anything happen other than JaseC alt account surfacing? I've skimmed the thread, have some family stuff queued up and also M&M X beckons.
Loads of new bundles released, but from what I've seen nothing interesting for people with 1k+ - mostly repeats.
Hopefully Humble will deliver this week...

Divinity: Original Sin being #1 in the Steam sales chart fills me with joy.
Well done, Steam community and GAFers at large.
(Now do the same for Age of Wonders 3.)

It's a metroidvania. it literally cannot be a metroidvania if it lacks backtracking. that's how those games work.

Deadlight actually wasn't that terrible.
You just have to get past the sluggish controls that really show their true horror near the end when the game suddenly switches from puzzle-based platformer to speed & timing based for one short terrible segment.
I also didn't like the cut-scenes, in that they were totally incongruous with the rest of the game's art direction (a highlight.) The voice acting was also spotty, with the protagonist slipping in and out of Hayter Solid Snake gruffness with no rhyme or reason.
The story was pretty decent, though, and the end was a nice twist without a cheap gotcha moment.
All said, it's worth a playthrough if you picked it up on a whim during the Summer. If you didn't, feel free to never pick it up on any whim.

Not since it was removed from SSFIVAE. I imagine that they might want to remove it from the Dead Rising games next since DR3 is just around the corner but who knows if they'll even bother.
It's been a while since I've used it so I'm not sure if they've changed anything, from what I can recall, if you follow their steps, you create a folder and copy the exe in there, and running the installer should automatically add a SCP DS3 service to your services.
You can launch this from the start menu search and check and see if it's on the list
So check and make sure if it's there and started, it should be called SCP DS3 Service or something similar
Heeeey Shadownet. You should really accept my friend request on steam.
Yay great news man!
I know how you could have felt, as my dad went for an exam last year, and here we go, a prostate cancer. They were able to remove it completely (even though my personal experience says that cancer has this habit of laughing its ass off on the words "completely removed") and the worse outcome of it all is that he had to wear diapers for some time while he regained control over his bladder.
BUT! The months between the first test and the test after surgery were the worst things ever in the world. So when I say "great news" I really mean it!
