Support NeoGAF

[Tenrius]

Also, I tried to take a picture of my desk, but it's too dark right now for my phone camera right now, lol.

So you'll have to wait for a while to see my raggedy desk and I'll just describe it for now. I actually got it for free from one of the buildings on campus (they didn't want it anymore). It's pretty big, but it doesn't have any drawers and I solved that problem by putting sort of a nighstand (that came with the dorm room) under it. I also have two shelves right above it, my science books and papers are stored there, as well as various cables, chargers and knick-knacks. The table itself is also mostly covered with notebooks, etc.

An important piece of the composition is this cute Totoro plushie I recently got from an anime con:

Instead of posters or the like, I write random stuff on sticky notes to subsequently admire it. The current setup is this, don't know if someone finds this funny or not:

The wallpaper is really awful, but that's just how it is in this dorm. I could change it, theoretically, but I'll be almost certainly moving to another dorm the next semester, so it's not worth it.

 

[legacyzero]

So what's up with all the desk posts?

Here's mine btw

Of course, everything was just setup to look nice. It's normally not that organized lol

You have WAY too much awesome going on for that tiny desk.

The sickest of all set ups!

Has anyone played The Secret World?

Please help me not to play it.

Saw this

and I got the urge to play it.

It has a 40 GB install and it's not currently on sale.

Spoiler

Otherwise, it's quite good and I really need to go back to it.

 

[The Dear Leader]

A little dusty and not a very good picture (crap phone camera) but, here's my setup.

yo

Thanks for Zooloretto.

Haha, interestingly enough, I have a Batman AC poster just above my desk out of the shot.

I did. Don't let the MMORPG label scares you, It's a really awesome RPG.

That's the new issue btw, which will open up a new area----Tokyo. Issues works like a new dlc contents. If you buy the Massive Edition on steam, you'll get Issue 1-7.

 

[Rhaknar]

whats up with these magical vertical monitors some of you guys have?

 

[Turfster]

You just... twist them.

(Seriously, how hard is it to find that image without some stupid caption on it?)

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Wasnt some Groupees Bundle supposed to be released yesterday?

 

[Casimir]

What?

 

[Atraveller]

If your monitor stand supports it, you can turn it sideways.

 

[rtcn63]

Makes amateur porn easier to watch

 

[old manatee]

It blew my goddamn mind when I realized I could spin my monitor to vertical, and that Pinball Arcade would support it.

 

[Rhaknar]

so these are just normal screens just turned...sideways? I did not know you could do that >_> im a nublet im sorry

that must be awesome for forum viewing, now i wanna get a second screen just for that

 

[Lomax]

It's been delayed, they got the wrong keys from Funcom. Seems somewhat likely it won't be until next week if they are waiting on keys.

Also, the sale price on Pool Nation has increased by one penny because... reasons? I know it's only a penny, but how does that even happen?

 

[corrosivefrost]

Yo now I can webm everything.

Thanks for the link, anteater.

How do I do that?!

I have things I would webm for GAF!

You only have one screen? You poor thing.
*looks at the 5 screens on his desk*
(No, I'm not taking pictures because it's a total mess =p)

 

[AlteredForms]

Are the US Amazon PC download keys supported for European countries? If so, is somebody willing to purchase one for me and then I'll send payment later? I have a few keys of games I won't play, or hard green if you prefer.

Depends on the game. If they're ROW keys, then they work just fine. What games were you looking for -- that would make it easier for SteamGAF to advise you.

Yeah, I wanted to ask that. If I buy Metal Gear Rising from Amazon, will it be region locked once I activate the key on Steam?

The games in question are tagged with Steam DRM. So I'm assuming Amazon give you the key and you go on your merry way. 2 games really, totalling 7 dollars. VTMB, Nosferatu: Wrath Of Malachi.

 

[Turfster]

...*adds Turfster to ban from giveaways list

;_;
But but... I needs the screens!
All of them!
(There's like, 3 different pcs hooked up to those screens)

 

[Salsa]

fuck it im gettin the forest

 

[Atraveller]

Yeah, I wanted to ask that. If I buy Metal Gear Rising from Amazon, will it be region locked once I activate the key on Steam?

I used VPN to activate its key, and it plays just fine.

 

[rtcn63]

One large screen > three smaller screens. Though if you can afford and have the logistics for three or more large screens... well then fuck you.

 

[corrosivefrost]

I used VPN to activate its key, and it plays just fine.

This is the real catch -- if the game has separate keys for NA, then you have to worry about VPN stuff like this... some games, I think, check your IP every time you play too, I think -- which means you need the VPN connection every time you boot it. MGR:R should not be one of them though, since they patched out that mistake with the always online DRM.

Really, the default answer here is "Ask the Steam Support Staff <JaseC>".

He should be around soon, so he'll totally clear this up if he sees it. ^_^

 

[BinaryPork2737]

what's going on in here

9.5/10, best set up but still needs work.

 

[denx]

Man I'm so totally awful at Metal Slug 3. Barely made it to the fourth level and lost most of my lifes and continues at the third boss. Fuck that stupid robot

I used VPN to activate its key, and it plays just fine.

I don't want to mess around with VPNs, too risky for my liking. I'll just wait until the Summer sale to get the game then.

 

[Rhaknar]

Kill Fun Yeah key from the indieroyale debut 10 bundle available after you register at the dev's site and in the members area choose activate full version, pop in the indieroyale code for the bundle and you will get a new button to get the steam key

bit of a hassle but it works ive done it

I've never seen allowrunincountries flag used on countries outside of RU+CIS region. And MGR:R runs normally once the key is activated.

If you can see the steam store page, then you are most likely not in the locked regions.

Here's the list:

BT Bhutan
BN Brunei Darussalam
KH Cambodia
CN China
HK Hong Kong
ID Indonesia
JP Japan
KR Korea, Republic of
LA Lao People's Democratic Republic
MO Macau
MY Malaysia
MV Maldives
MN Mongolia
NP Nepal
PH Philippines
SG Singapore
LK Sri Lanka
TW Taiwan

VN Vietnam

It works, but it depends on the game's region locking.

Not sure about Metal Gear Rising (I remember it had some history of being region locked on PC)
but in general I bought some games (Steam keys) on U.S. amazon and activated them on my Steam account.

 

[denx]

Wait, so I'm cool getting the game from South America? Awesome!

Spoiler

Yes, I'm a total noob at this region lock thing.

 

[Atraveller]

Yes, you should be fine.

Unless it's like a brazilian portuguese only sub.

There's only one store sub for MGR:R.

I was talking in general

 

[danielcw]

What is a sub?

 

[corrosivefrost]

I think salsa stole my playfire balance.

This isn't funny.

Is anyone else back to experiencing the $0.00 balance issue?

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Just checked, and yes. I wasn't earlier when the bug was first reported, but I am now.

Checked my GMG account as well, and the credit is still there.

 

[Atraveller]

What is a sub?

Here's an example. Kind of like different versions of a game on steam.

I think salsa stole my playfire balance.

This isn't funny.

Is anyone else back to experiencing the $0.00 balance issue?

I just checked, and it's gone, what the hell?

Thanks for the useful heads up (again).

You're just full of awesome today. ^_^

[Levyne]

Thumbs way up for Totoro. NEKOBASU!

I'm thinking of recording with Shadowplay, then using this script that anteater linked.

 

[zkylon]

i cleaned up a bit but this is my shit, hasn't changed much from last time, still a board thingie stuck on a wall and lots of crazy wiring hanging around

no fancy toys or anything but at least i have an origami x-wing :3

also i can't believe how bad my cellphone's camera is, jeez

 

[rtcn63]

I'm not showing the whole desk. I only cleaned it because I bought the monitor recently, before there were unused condoms and plush ducks strewn about.
