Sometimes it just goes slower than is possible. Check settings somewhere? I had Deus EX HR Director's Cut download the other day at ~7mb/s.
What story?
Also, if you found Blands 2 boring, Blands 1 is even more boring.
nothing weird on settings. Just steadily rises up to that and stays there always

I'll keep that in mind. Are the other King Quest games any good? Usually I like trying to go in order in a series, but if they're not worth it I won't bother.

Can't seem to log into the Paypal popup at nuuvem. It keeps saying my credentials are incorrect. I called Paypal and they just transferred me around until telling me to go check with the merchant. Anyone have a workaround to this?
umm haha whoops I was just using the Hola method. I'll give the flyVPN one a try.
@Sarcasm I downloaded and ran flyVPN using the trial. Logged on through a server from S. America, added the Lego bundle to my cart, selected Paypal. Turned off flyVPN and tried to log in to Paypal but it still says my credentials are incorrect
I have a feeling it must be the Paypal two-factor authentication that is tripping me up.

Using flyVPN? Did you stay logged into the VPN while you loaded PP..than turned it off?

I didn't find it boring, I just picked it up and then put it down cause I got distracted with other games. But I'm not sure if BL1 is even going to be worth playing if go through BL2.
Anyway, still on the fence about the Beyond Earth/Starships bundle. I might bite.
I'd just go with VI and if you like/love it you can try some of the others.
Part 1-3 have VGA remakes just in case you ever decide to tackle the series. I've played 1 and 2 out of those and liked them, they have simple charm. Part 5 is also decent, but the talky version is grating and you are very likely to come to a deadend without a guide.

That's how I roll
There's not really a lot of story in BL1 that you would be missing out on. Since they are similar enough gameplay-wise, I'd say skip it and maybe read a plot summary (or don't, the plot is really basic) if you want to play BL2.

Is there a way to track a game's discount history?
When was the last time a game got discounted and such?

Smokey putting his Titan X SLI in to action
So.
AC Unity. 4k, Max settings:
NO AA - 55 fps, 8GB VRAM
FXAA - 48 fps, 8.1GBVRAM
2x MSAA - 8.9GB VRAM
8X MSAA - 11.8GB VRAM
TXAA - 30-35 fps 11GB VRAM
it was raining so maybe i caught some weird vram spike on the 11GB number i dunno...but maybe...ubi reasons...the 8GB is legit though
i actually played with txaa. hovered around 35fps. goddamn if it didn't look good

Environmental Station Alpha release date announced to be 22nd April.
I played the demo/beta months ago and it was good, looking forward to the complete version

I just love how absurd his builds are, but yeah, seems like it's the GTA IV of this generation, in terms of optimization

Damn 30 hours and you didn't beat it? Took me like 10 at most to beat it I think to beat the campaign.

Thanks, but I'm aware of that site.
I'm not looking for today's deals, but game sales in the past. When was the last time a particular game got discounted, not the lowest recorded.
Mudering everything you see takes a surprisingly long amount of time.
It was what I wanted from the game. So worth it. If I died, I would go back to my nemesis and make him my bitch.
When you click a game there's a "price history" button, that should show you what you are after.
That's what it does..
Look up a game, select which site to research and click on the PRICE HISTORY tab on the right.
EDIT: beaten

Ah right, it's on the right tab lol. I totally missed it, thanks a lot!
Damn, it was on sale in January, I probably won't see it on sale until summer sale.
I was like at 36 hours when I beat the campaign. I spent a lot of time messing around with the Nemesis system. Simple delightful.

I wonder what would happen to MGR:R 2 after Kojima's departure.
Jawmuncher

Considering he really didn't do much with that game besides "hey platinum can you make something out of this", it can go any which way. Pretty much depends on if Konami want's more Metal Gear games regularly and see's asking platinum again as a viable strategy. The game did sell less than any mainline title I believe though (Despite being Platinums best selling game) so they could see it as not good enough, if they're being really picky about sales.
I thought Kojima didn't have direct input into MGR in terms of gameplay? Storywise... maybe. Too many parallels and mirroring in the plot of MGR and MGS to be a coincidence.
Bundle spares! I thoroughly enjoyed both of these, particularly Vertical Drop Heroes HD - cute, well done platformer with a dash of Steamworld Dig, Mr.Driller & Rogue Legacy.

I was always under the impression that he written and directed the game.

He didn't even touch the story really. It was his staff that wrote it.
He might of looked at it and went "Yep that's metal gear enough".
No Rising was only meant to be another team's project and just something he might have gave some guidance on.
It's why the box art doesn't say anything about being a Hideo Kojima game.

Wasnt it more like a PR move, that they said Kojima was involved in that.
I mean they Konami the same with Castlevania.

Dude it was metal gear. If they hadn't said anything about Kojima and MGR, it might not even have sold as much as it did.
A Hideo Kojima Game sells more copies than Metal Gear

I think his last setup was Titan Black three way SLI.
Industries reward competence and excellence before they reward fame. There isn't a meaningful increase in sales just because you have someone famous as your spokesperson. A bad game, will fail to perform no matter the 'personality' attached to it. And a good game will succeed even with no one person heading the marketing push. And all of this is ignoring the costs of assuaging your star personalities. In Konami's case, a semi-famous developer headlining a series that sells little less than a forth of their sports titles may not be worth the cost of expanding MGS development teams in Japan and creating a completely new studio in Los Angeles.
His team made them a new engine (that looks amazing) and that was supposed to help in the transition to new gen consoles, he's doing TPP and was supposed to do the reboot of silent hills. Look how much attention P.T. got.
I'll still argue a Hideo Kojima Game sells more than Metal Gear branding.
