You guys are making me sad that I spent my last $10 on Mass Effect 1 & 2! Abyss Odyssey looks amazing; I can't wait to play it! I really like the idea of a platformer with good fighting mechanics rather than just slashing up the enemy in two hits.

Don't feel sad. Abyss Odyssey's still going to be around during the next sale, and $10 for ME 1 and 2 is a great deal on two really good games. (AO does sound really good, though.)

I feel dirty just idling for these cards!

Yeah, ME is completely up my alley and I'm having a blast with the first one so far! Soon, Abyss Odyssey!!

Anyone here doing strictly PC gaming?

I already sold my Vita, PS3 and Xbox 360. But I'm considering getting rid of the 3DS and Wii U as well.

And then just keeping my Gaming PC, PlayStation 4 and iPhone for my gaming needs.

I would like to hear how people with only a PC are doing. Or even a PC and PS4.

I built my PC about three months ago. When I was setting everything up I realized that I needed a surge protector / power strip. So I "temporarily" grabbed the one that all my consoles were plugged into. I just realized I have not moved it back since. I will buy another power strip when the Last of Us Remastered comes out.

Driver issue, use Bluescreenviewer it will point to what driver, whatever driver is doing it needs to be updated or removed and reinstalled. It's not a hardware issue.

So I downlaoded and installed Bluescreenviewer to check a problem with my laptop crashing when running specific games and giving me a "IRQL_Not_less_or_equal" error.

It showed me the crash reports in the upper panel and the lower panel is filled with stuff.

I'm not that tech savvy so I really don't know what to do with the information I got.

EDIT: Oh I found it! In the upper panel it says Caused by driver: igdkmd64.sys (and that's four seperate crashes)

Is that dangerous :[ ?

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.

That is your Intel Graphics driver. Be sure to update to the latest one here. Not sure if that will fix the issue or not, but it's a good place to start.

Those are your intel graphics drivers.
Edit: Shackled.

Yup. Searched around on google and it seems to be a frequent problem for people.

Installing and updating the drivers now. I'm going to sound pretty cheesy now but it's so satisfying in a way to find and fix different software problems on a pc. A little accomplishment!

I had to downgrade Intel's driver to fix that issue.
 
Stump, did you upgrade ModBot? I got my code almost instantly after registering.

Are there any reasonably affordable and not shitty wireless gaming mice out there? My G500 is double clicking instead of single clicking regularly, and I'm kinda tired of having wires around, even though my mouse is always at my table.

I'm guessing it'll be something like pick two of three: affordable, wireless, not shitty.

Would you guys recommend Shovel Knight to me? I mean, as someone who generally sucks at and can't finish straight-up platformers, but enjoys metroidvania platformers, where grinding some stats or weapons can get me through and cover up for my platforming failings.
 
hey steamgaf, i haven't been that active in the past few days since I'm preparing for a trip to the Dominican Republic that I'll have on Wednesday. Just in case I'm too busy to post tomorrow or Wednesday I just wanna say that I'll miss you all and that I'll be back August 13 <3 Hopefully the place that I'll be staying has wifi so I can still keep in touch with everyone. Also a bit bummed I didn't get to beat Mirror's Edge today, didn't even get a chance to play it either :(

I wonder if ModBot will ever be changed to reveal the mystery game in the edit upon completion. Actually, does ModBot even know what the original is? Never tried a mystery post before.

I bought this for like $1 or something in a Steam weekly sale. Now I know $1 is too much to buy something on Steam.

you a fan of classic 2D Mario and early Mega Man (Mega Men?) with a hint of pre-SOTN Castlevania? Platformers that can be deceptively simple but can offer a fair challenge without being absurdly cheap? Do you like kickass chiptune music? Then Shovel Knight is the game for you.

And if you don't like the above things, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Damn. Someone beat me to the free Millie key. Either they were faster or I was throttled for winning a giveaway 2-3 days ago? Congrats anyway, Darth Kupi.

They were that fast:

4 of your tried to grab the key during the same 45 second period, Darth Kupi got there first. There are no throttles on garbage dumps. And people don't get throttled for 3 days for winning one game, they get throttled for under a day when they win MANY games :p

Well, looks like I've found what to link the Garbage Dump image to.

is that garbage dump rule new? even tho I dont agree with the name, that should be used on every spare bundle key giveaway really, I know ill use it

It is new. I don't recommend people use it, necessarily, because it obviously undermines the community blacklist and your personal permablock list and it doesn't work with any other rules including raffles and the people who claim the keys just get the PM and that's it, it's not added to their loot collection at all. It's there for absolute last resort stuff, for the stuff that really can't be given away by any other means.

Mostly it's there so I can automate the monthly trash giveaways more easily :p

oh it bypasses blacklists? hmmm

I just hate the idea that someone wont take a key I post because they are worried they will fuck up their chances of winning a "bigger" game

I'll never use it. I don't feel that a win is less than a win (or a game less than a game) simply because the game comes from a bundle, personally. Hell, I'm actually disappointed such a rule was implemented for everyday use.

When we are playing:
We are playing now!

Information said:
What is this?:
This is a time when SteamGAF can get together to play CS:GO. We will be playing casual matches, players from all skill levels are welcome! Join the NeoGAF Games Night group. You will receive a notification through Steam as to when we are starting. PM anyone in the group for an invite.

What we are playing:
We are playing public matches through the casual matchmaking system. Due to the limitations of the party system there are only 10 spots available in the party. After the party is full, we will be placed in a public server where anyone can join the game.

How to join us:
We will initially start a lobby of 10 players (party system limitation). Once we start the game, you will be able to join the public server by going into the main menu and right clicking my name to join the game that I am in.

If you cannot get in, I will try to post in this thread when a free spot opens up on the server.

In the future:
If we have enough consistent players, we may consider setting up or renting a server for drop in drop out gaf matches.

Come join us and have fun!


Different game for next week?
I've been thinking of switching the games up next weekend. Same casual enviornment.
Please vote here.
If you have suggestions for another game, PM here on GAF or through Steam. It doesn't have to be a Valve game or even a steam game. However, I will have to look up the logistics of setting it up.

I've also made a NeoGAF Games Night to help better organize this and alert people when we are starting. PM me or anyone in the group on steam for an invite.
 
I'll never use it. I don't feel that a win is less than a win (or a game less than a game) simply because the game comes from a bundle, personally. Hell, I'm actually disappointed such a rule was implemented for everyday use.

That said, do people pass up bundle games because that Divinity raffle requires you not to have won in the past day?
