After watching the Tour de France for 2 weeks, I really want the PCM games to go on sale.
I have never read the curation section, nor has it ever impacted my decision to buy a game.

It can be. I find some of the retro gaming lists to be useful. As well as list with games of similar play styles. Most of the time, I agree it doesn't seem helpful.

What is going on in the pic? What is it from?
Best series ever aka Doctor Who. Telling what's going on would include some spoilers
That is an insane amount of money. If I'm reading this chart right, TI5 has a higher prize pool than Starcraft 2's lifetime prize pool.
I hear tales of game breaking bugs still left in the game but I never had any. Only bug I saw was when occasionally Bats would punch a goon so hard that they would bounce from ground towards the sky, like way way high up there.
It was hilarious, they should have made it a feature.
Nope, I've hidden the curator block from store frontpage as well as the individual game pages.

If you're gonna drop $370 on a GPU consider the R9 390, it's $329, 4.5gb more VRAM and is the same if not better in performance. It's good future proofing if you're like me and don't upgrade very often.

If you're sticking with mostly lastgen games and the Witcher 3 was still sufficiently playable for you, I'd consider holding off on upgrading right now.
I'm guessing he has a small case because he wants to buy the miniITX 970, and all the R9 390's I've seen are really big.

Does Idlemaster idle all games to 2 hours and then go for the cards? I downloaded the newest one since I figured I needed an update. But I didn't see any such feature.

Separate program, you need "Idle Master Helper" for the two hour trick then run the standard Idlemaster to get the cards.

Ah you're right.
Moneyhats!
I thought that was fixed ages ago? Is it back?
Or maybe that was some other issue that I'm remembering.

I don't think I'll be upgrading to Windows 10 for a while. KI is a long ways away, so I don't really have a reason to rush.
Oh my... The text at DS4Windows site changed from the previous optimistic one to...
Note: Hide DS4 currently does not work in the Windows 10 Preview (very likely won't work with RTM, I'm not certain how to go about fixing this yet)
Yes, small case, barely able to fit 750 TI.
Also, after the ordeal I had with 6770, I'm not buying another ATI card, ever.
(Not to mention my 430W PSU won't be able to handle anything high-end by ATI)

So both must be running at the same time?

Run helper first on its own and it will idle up to 25 games at a time that have less than 2 hours playtime and card drops remaining in batches. Once all the games with drops available are over two hours close helper and fire up the standard Idlemaster and watch the cards roll in.

We can still download the free upgrade to W10 within a year of it being available right?
Same here. I thought that I really wanted to upgrade right away or a couple weeks later max, but seems that it will be released as a beta (as expected
), so yeah, no need to rush. And my Win 8.1 install works pretty much perfect right now (if ain't broken don't fix it).Anyway, I'm also only interested in KI and perhaps Sea of Thieves, so I think I'll wait until KI releases (Sea of Thieves probably won't be released until 2017 LOL).

Thanks. Was wondering what I had missed since I knew I had saw it in the thread before.
Certainly part of his fanbase, but that sadly comes with the territory of such a massive fanbase / viewerbase. I'm quite a fan of a lot of TBs stuff, including his podcasts, WTF is and his port-reports, but I've no intention of harassing anyone, ever. It's not so much to do with TB as it has to do with the internet being full of scumbags that're human pieces of garbage.
You can't really blame the actions of the followers / fans on the curators. And come on, even if there was such a box, the majority of publishers wouldn't fill it out, because it doesn't help them, and in a great deal of cases with shit ports, it would actively work against them. It would never really work unless it was mandatory.

Thanks.

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.
I'm also working on a new version of the main Idle Master program that will idle multiple games automatically up to 2 hours, but it still needs a little bit of testing.
Speaking of Idle Master - I was wondering why I started getting so many hits the last couple of days. Turns out it was featured on gHacks and Kotaku Australia in addition to Softpedia all within the last few days.
It's kind of crazy that the "new" version of Idle Master has only been out for a little over 7 months, and it's already received over 250,000 downloads.
Now that refunds are a thing, and pretty easy to obtain, having a box like this would help those that chose to use it. If you saw a game on the store that looked kinda "meh" from the screenshots but scrolled down and saw that it supported 4k and 60+fps, wouldn't that make you more interested? Anyway, my approach with Enhanced Steam to this dilemma is to crowd-source these types of questions, so that people can see things like "91% of people surveyed reported that the framerate was fixed" or "81% of people with AMD graphics cards reported that this game performs poorly". It'll be an ongoing and consistent process of refining the right questions, but it should clear up any confusion about a game's technical capabilities without requiring the developers or publishers to reveal these sorts of things.

Michelle Ryan is so purty, it's a shame Bionic Woman was such a bad show or she would have become more famous.

Not worth it in the slightest... well, actually worth exactly in the slightest. Not worth the money. Save it for something where you'll see significantly more improvement. Either load times with an SSD or a GPU for much better value. i5 is perfect for gaming.
lol why does everybody think thatHope they aren't raping someone.
my who-watching mate too had something with sex in mind
whats happening is (short version):
she gave him a precious golden chalice, asking him to be careful with it, while he then starts to smash it to pieces with his hammer to safe the world
long version:
she's a professional thief and the chalice is over a thousand years old and worth millions. The Doctor needs something out of gold to complete the modification of the broken bus they need as a protection to go back through the wormhole to the earth with and the alien technology they gathered from the peacful aliens big spaceship that crashed on that same creepy desert planet. so she reluctantly hands him the chalice, as a swarm of billions of scary everything-eating metal alien monsters are about to close in on them and the ever-growing wormhole, threathing the existence of the whole planet earth. He first takes it out of her hand carefully and then just starts to smash the shit out of it
I don't think I've ever heard of her or Bionic Woman before, but yeah she made quite the impresson <3
More games are going multithreaded due to the PS4 and XBO including multicore x86 jaguar CPUs, and DX12 should see more efficient use of those cores.

Current demographic doesn't change though and devs make games that work on a broad variety of hardware. That's why even i3 is still a popular chip. Sure, with time more and more games will take advantage of newer chips but it will take quite some time I wager. Atm it's not the smartest place to invest money.
Apparently the DE has performance issues in comparison. Original is just fine
man Kung Fu Strike is hard
There's a "high res" free dlc you could download I think, be sure to install that.
edit: oh wait that's what you said lol, I misread

The "HD-Remaster" runs supposedly far worse than the original PC-Port and doesnt look any better.
You should'nt have stopped reading at the comma.

Should get a Xbox controller with a good D-pad. Like the Xbox One controller, that will work with Windows 10
.Seriously I really do like that controller and I don't even own a Xbox One.
I didn't! but I misread it as "if there's a high res texture pack I'm so downloading that"
Man i really want to play some games but it is too hot
just hook up your computer in the living room
DE edition didn't run any better or any worse for me, for what it's worth.
Very much so. I've found a handful of zkylon's reviews to be really helpful, they've cemented my purchase several times. The same goes for RPS, TB, Jim Sterling, PCG, Giant Bomb and one for indie gems whose name elludes me atm.
You're reading that right. And yes, it's fucking insane.
Gimme a piece.
Sure, it'd make me more interested, but the problem is that noone would use this sort of feature if their game didn't have positives to list there, so it certainly becomes a moot point when it comes to safeguarding and informing the consumer. I definitely think a similar, crowdfunded information-box for ES would be great, but that still leaves out several million people.
Sigh, if only Valve would fucking hire you or buy ES already! It would alleviate some of the worst problems with their store.
Also nice to see some of the reviews and recommendations around the web for ES and Idle Master. It's bloody well deserved.
Five minutes till EVO finals. Time enough to get a beer, some snacks and get your body ready.
I have full tower case and most of my cables are tied to my desk (i did some kind of cable management) so i can't do that. I was thinking about streaming on my notebook but it didn't worked that well for W3 (smaller indie games are working ok but i don;t want to play them now).
