JaseC''s contest had me thinking about something.

What if someone created a giant gift lottery account?

Someone trustworthy creates the account. To enter, you Steam gift the account one game.

The winner gets access to the account.

I'm gonna agree with Frost and say 15-20 bucks.

I know the new crowdfunding campaign is a bit controversial, but i don't really have a problem with it. The game is still getting made and the new funds are used for the bonus content. I have faith in Keiji Inafune and his team to not screw over the backers.

I just wanna play the game already lol.

They said they're offering it at a special preorder price of $23 that's discounted so..I'd guess $25-30.

Still keeping on with Lost Planet 3 and it's way better still than what I was expecting.
It's all solid and not really that much of a betrayal from Lost Planet that I can tell.
First off it's a prequel which lets it get away with how the rigs are and ignoring a lot of the stuff in 1 and 2. Which I think was a good call on their part. Aside from that sure you can't use the grappling hook anywhere, but while cool in LP it never did much aside from help you get to places quicker anyway.

Unless the game takes a drastic turn this is easily at least another decent title from capcom's third party offerings.

Ah, i was leaning more towards the $20 so you're probably right. Glad i backed it already haha.

Yeah I really just want to play it. I have faith that Inafune won't let the Mega Man fans down :D

Apparently the goal is to release it before next year is over? I think that's what i heard. Yeesh....that's really a long wait.

If one of the new stretch goals on the new fundraiser was an option for 2D graphics I would donate $23

Only thing bothering me is his walk cycle.
He's flinging his arms around like he's drunk.

EDIT:Actually he's flinging his whole body like he's drunk

Why don't you guys have Drinky Crow do some giveaways?


Give modbot the night off, play with an underutilized mod account.
 
This 7 day market lock out is the worst, 3 days until I can buy some damn keys and finally get Divinity, really wish there was a way to just unlock using a Steam guard code or something.

Okay I just saw the new video for it. yeah I'm not saying it look bad? but if there was an option for 2D I would go with it too. I'm sure the final product would look great but its just too shiny for my taste.. I like that old fashion 2D better.

But that's just my thought

Can't wait to finally order a controller and new gpu next week. Looking forward to playing sleeping dogs and tomb raider, and modding Skyrim.

Which controller are you going with?

I've all but retired my xbox controllers. The DS4 now reigns supreme for me. Having the touch pad is pretty damn convenient.

What do you use the touchpad for?

Anything you would use a mouse for. Navigating menus, launching games, etc. I play on my TV a lot so it is nice to have since not all games fully support using a controller.

How easy is a Ds 4 to set up? I was gonna go with a 360 pad because its so damn comfy in my mitts.

Pretty easy. DS4Tool and DS4Windows allow you to customize profiles for each game and it makes it pretty nice. The only game I had "trouble" with was Dark Souls 1. There was a simple fix that I had to google for a few minutes to find... basically just had to close Steam and open DS4Windows first then open Steam and launch the game. Easy enough.

If you don't like the symmetrical sticks then of course you are best going with what is comfy to you in the 360 controller. I find that DS4 very comfy though.
 
What do you use the touchpad for?

Mouse input. So games with partial controller support don't need a mouse nearby. I don't really find it useful, but I can see where others might.

Pretty easy. I loathe the 360 pad -- best I can say is go to a store with an electronics section and try out both the Xbone and PS4 controllers and go with one of those. The improvements to both are probably worth the cost. Though I still use my DS3 over my DS4.

And my DS4 doesn't have touchpad support because the spinoff projects have caused nothing but issues for me... dropped inputs, random unresponsiveness in the middle of a game... I just use the old DS3 SCP drivers and it works for DS4 too.

If you used a credit/debit card, can you now manually verify the card and this will end the cooldown period.

Wow, I didn't even think about that, I'll give it a try, thanks!

There was a post after mine saying they are untradable, so I would be careful with that. Thought they would still be tradable so sorry about that. Also you should be able to verify it now by putting in the price of your last 2 purchases like JaseC posted.
 
Epic Nidhogg fight with Killerdark in local play tonight. In mines we had a 40 to 38 kills match. I ended up with the honor of feeding the worm!

What do you use the touchpad for?

I'm usually in a mumble room with friends, so I use one touchpad button for push-to-talk, and the other for screenshots. If I want to use it as a mouse, I just do a two finger swipe and it switches ds4 profiles for me. It's pretty slick.

Now that's cool.

That is pretty spiffy. I haven't messed around too much with the Touchpad controls.

Love the DS4. Probably my favorite controller ever. Works pretty well with PC, too. I'd like to get some official drivers but I don't see it happening for awhile if ever.
