€991 including shipping for the Vive here. I'm gonna wait, but I'm very much interested in VR.

Also, first post on a new page, SUPERHOT IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE SHOOTER YOU'VE EVER SEEN. Bought it at Nuuvem today. You should to, for reasons.
 
Thanks but I was too slow.
That does get daily restocks so hopefully you have better luck tomorrow. Still I wonder why the page saves 1000 when the URL says 5000. Does that mean 5000 overall and 1000 a day or did it start with 5000 and get restocks of 1000.

Let's check the UK...
Sold Out - Sorry this item has sold out - please check back in a little while and we'll have more.
To be frank I wouldn't blame them if they decided not to have pre-orders due to the volatility of the £ right now
 
Preordered the Oculus now. Still would love to have a Vive, but alas, its 200€ more expensive than the Rift here now...

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your order!
This email confirms that we've received your preorder of the Oculus Rift.

I want to buy the HTC Vive after my holiday in April but by the time it's actually out will any AAA games have VR support?

I'm looking at you Alien Isolation.
 
Has this been talked about yet? Steam Rental?

Font improvement fan patch for Danganronpa!
Yay!
Those kerning issues were seriously annoying. Now it's all good!

What if I could rent out my own games, for a price I set, with a percentage going to the devs/Valve. Although might be a few hiccups with stuff removed from Steam although they would probably be the most in demand. The likes of Jase would be filthy rich.

Dead Space 1 doesn't let you play Impossible (Zealot) difficulty without have a completed game file first. On hard, it's pretty much a cake walk. I'm running a bit low on plasma energy, but that's it.

Also, I never really used the Force Gun in this series. Didn't know that it's effectively a shotgun, though a very weak one. (Unupgraded)

judging by the amount of games Jase has and rate at which he continues to acquire new ones, he's either already loaded or in incredible, life destroying debt.

not sure that simply renting games would resolve the latter and he certainly doesn't have to engage in any business if the former is true
 
Okay Steam. So if I go to my activity feed > friend activity settings > un-tick everything related to groups I belong to then why do I still get the pop-up notifications of such group related shit? Is there something I missed that actually allows me to disable the pop-up notification?
I know the real solution is don't stay joined to shit groups but in most other services you can actually mute things. Also most things when you set yourself as busy will hide such things too.

If the group is for a speific game go to the community hub page and unfollow it at the top right of the screen.

HTC Vive $817.27
Estimated Shipping $110.00
Sub-Total: $927.27

That's in AUD.

VR gaming will have to wait for me, way too expensive for my liking.

Great to see a new thread. Pity lashman is nowhere to be seen, trying to substitute desperately with browsing the Upcoming queue regularly, swearing profusely...

I am wondering about something.

Take a look at, for example, this game:



They say they have "over 50 million players".

How can this be true? Do they count something stupid like the total number of downloads since day 1 (they are F2P)? Do they just write "50 million" because it sounds cool? Or do they really have those 50 million players and I am missing something big? (Then again, that's not the only game that does it.)

I think this was a popular browser game, so it is probably 50 million created accounts if I had to guess.

Usually it means how many accounts created. Maplestory did it with it's marketing a lot too.
 
Finished Zeno Clash 2.

Well, that was a hell of a thing. It really feels like a lost late 90s FPS, there's something to the simply out-there nature of the game that made me want to play heretic or something like that.

I just wished they had worked on the combat some more. I found it way too clunky for how often they wanted me to fight. If only it was more like Riddick, which i remember feeling pretty damn good wrt the first person melee stuff.

Moving on now, i guess i'll sneak in the Never Alone DLC tonight to make that the eleventh game/piece of content i've finished in 2016
