Cheers guys. This gives me something to think about. Hows the wireless signal stability, and what's the NAT table like? The biggest reason my dad and I ordered fiber was so we could do a ton of uploading, downloading and peer-to-peer stuff, etc. My new router turns out to be utter shite in that regard. :s

Woah! I was sure reading here that Rockstar won't be giving Steam keys anywhere else besides Steam?! Hopefully key sellers will get GTA5 Steam keys in the future as well.It seems to me like they're talking about off the shelf "bought so my grandma can email" PC's, not gaming or custom built PC which are from what I understand, are growing rapidly.
EDIT: Just saw this on reddit, hopefully this means more retailers (and online) carry the Steam version of GTAV.
At least you can dump dozens of hours playing with minibosstone. Or change diapers and wake up in the middle of night
Happy early birthday buddy!

Here's a review from the tail end of 2013; haven't port-forwarded in a while, so not able to speak to that.

You guys really are not helping.
Mostly meant stuff like torrenting for peer-to-peer, really. Haven't port forwarded myself in years, really.
Cheers though! I'll see if I can get hold of either of these in the store where I got my current one, as I'm unsure if I'll be able to get cash outta them... We'll see I guess. I digress, thanks. Hope I can find a decent price here in europe
Alright, what the hell is going on with WatchDogs on my PC?
It's running at a constant 22FPS in the first scene with EVERYTHING on low and extra stuff off.
I have a Lenovo Y50 with an 860M.
The laptop is no powerhouse, but dang.
Also, it's only on the 30s in the menu. -_-
With everything on low, you should be reaching ~60-50 fps. Are you on powersaving mode?
What are the chances of another delay? lol ;-;

You might want to check your nvidia driver setting, make sure it's the discrete GPU running the game, not your onboard Intel GPU. Because it sounds like the auto switch feature wasn't working, manually set it to 860M.Alright, what the hell is going on with WatchDogs on my PC?

Hey guys, just to remind you all that when greenlit, I will not be charging for these games. So click that "yes" button with confidence!
I voted yes.

My take is that it is a few UI/feature patches away from the sweet spot.
So you could probably wait till a sale and jump in when it is at its peak.

this needs a comma

Wow, thanks for spoiling it for me. Please edit your post to specify that it's a spoiler from the Bible.
GOTY ... move over Final Fantasy
Is this for real?
Is this like wisdom tree stuff where it was earnest or is it like a joke game?
I'm so confused right now.
Edit: Wow massive spoilers Bayo.
Edit 2: Haha that Judas class
god damnit, bayo!

Thanks, guys. I'm not on power saving mode, but I'll try to check the driver settings.
I've been playing the game with the low framerate and... It's really boring. I still want to fix it, though. lol
Edit: No luck. Just wants to run like bum in my PC...
Edit 2: Goddammit. Everything on at High and I'm getting 48FPS now, which is my laptop display's max, so we're good. >.>
Wish you a very Happy Birthday
Happy birthday, Sarcasm!
Man I hope Rockstar lets retailers sell Steam codes. They can offer special DLC to use Social Club or something, just don't restrict customer choices.

The feeling when you have a 3 day weekend but also have the flu so you don't feel like doing anything ;-;
i wonder if buying a 120gb ssd woudl be worth it
it'd basically be windows, league, my game dev tools like photoshop and flash develop and my bugtracker server xampp thing, since there's not much room for big steam games in there
it's not that expensive and my computer is kind of super slow to turn on
hmm
all the flashing lights and stuff
not quite but i'm a bit queasy about gore and other gross stuff that's true

Go big or go home, 1 TB SSD is the only way to go! Newegg has had some decent deals on 512 GB models for around 170 too.

Go start a sick day movie recommendations thread.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
If you've never had a Solid State drive, you're in for a treat. I'd totally recommend getting one at just about any size.
last time i was like sick for a week or whatever i watched all of hannibal. pretty fun, mads mikkelsen is the best
argieland is bad for importing
we get 35% on credit card purchases (so every steam game i buy is essentially 35% more expensive) and 50% tax for imported crap tho i think that's only for more than 300 usd a year? hard to say and hard to know who to complain about either way
the 120gb one here is 100usd ish which is really overpriced i guess but it's how things work around here ;_;
yeah, i just have a 500gb hdd and a 1tb hdd
my friend bought a 500gb ssd but he has a well-paying job which up until now was a requirement in my mind to buy one of these things
but seeing a 120gb one at 100 usd doesn't look so bad and it feels like one of those things i'd appreciate, tho it seems kinda small i guess? i dunno how steam'd be
Yeah, an SSD as an OS drive makes a world of difference regardless of how the rest of your PC fares. I still need to get around to buying a replacement for my dead Vertex 2, but I'm waiting for a 240GB/256GB drive to hit ~$100 (100GB for Windows and the rest for Steam games I'm currently playing).

They're fine for small indie and older games. However, some current games use 30-50gb each and that trend will only increase so I would advise you to save money instead and invest in at least a 250gb version.
Windows 7 takes about 30-40gb depending on updates and features. A 120gb SSD has around 111gb of usable space.

My home PC has a 128GB SSD, never used above 70%.
I have a 256GB in mine because I can.
128GB is fine.
bah I can't get through to paypal. Gives me a 404 >_>It's currently about ~$17 on Nuuvem.
that's true, but my steamapps folder is only 150 gbs and i could pretty easily delete some stuff out of that
it'll take ur advice tho cos you're right, it's just that ssd's seemed so out of my reach that i'm surprised they're pretty acceptably priced now.

My friend built a new PC yesterday and created a new Steam account. We played a few games and he got some trading cards.
Now when he is looking at his trading cards (where it tells him how much the card his worth) it shows the price as USD instead of euro. Why is that? We are in europe. The store show euro prices.
