My son tries to sit on my arm rest when I am showing him a game or video on my PC. I expect something like this is going to happen to my chair eventually

I never said I was boycotting anything. Don't think I ever have with gaming at all.

First time hearing of a Konami boycott.
I am defo going to boycott though..... until <10 bucks

I don't think Boycotting Konami is going to matter in this case anyways. After The Phantom Pain, their video gaming production schedule is supposedly going to take a nosedive while they concentrate on the arcade sector in Japan as well as their other, alternative revenue streams. Can't boycott what won't be really there in the first place!
Played a lot of Witcher yesterday (~ 10 hours lol)
The game is good. Not sure if I'd think the same coming from Witcher 2 as first experience but it's the reason I play chronologically.
I am now at the gates of Vizima town and boy was the "beast" bossfight a struggle :O
Died sop many times. Finally realized that running away in the tiny fighting area until my health regained just to land a couple hits was the best choice. Looked awkward and not worthy of a witcher but eh. I win, he looses.
Playing on easy since I want to ride through the game but boy are the descriptions wrong! No way I would have survived this easy without potions. They are super useful even at easy difficulty.
Really liked how suddenly the game changed from super mundane tasks to basically giving me choice of eradicating the whole town. Wow.
Shagged the witch in the cave and chose the lesser evil. The reverend, the fatty and the merchant were some disgusting people. Enjoyed slaughtering them.
Hope Vizima ends up less empty fields and more dense, urban area. This game really is an RPG gem.
Vizima gets pretty dense during one of the later acts. There are so many NPCs running at once it still chokes on modern rigs trying to run all of the scripts for them.
There's a lot that is hard to stomach with Witcher 1, but I agree, it's quite the gem. And you've got so much more to still see!

Terraria, Civ and Blocks that Matter.
Old chair (i think i have it for 6 year now) and too much pressure on armrest can do that
I will fix it in next couple of days.Freedom = $1.05

Nothing will be more comforting to whomever Kojima tries to partner with for his next studio than watching his last game have its sales nuked due to consumer overreaction.

I brought up that same line in a Konami thread recently and there were some who replied that all the moola goes to Konami anyways as Kojipro dissolves by the game's release.

I bought kings bounty collection on humble and I dont know why
Basically the same performance loss as I get with a 970 (pre-patch though). Almost useless tech, just like TressFX was (I was using AMD GPUs back when Tomb Raider was released) unless you have a really high-end GPUs and even then, I'd go for downsampling, more AA etc. before any of this hair stuff because this is so expensive performance-wise.

Veggie, you're making me seriously regret skipping this game. It will probably soon be the only piece of witcher fiction that i haven't experienced yet and i will really want to. Would be hard going back from tw3 to the jankiness though.

Can something be done about the frame rate in Jet Set Radio steam version?
CheesecakeRecipe
Stormy Grey
Sadly no, since animations are hard tied to the 30FPS framerate, if you doubled the number of frames a second you'd also speed up the entire game itself.
Freedom = $1.05

or even if you did find a way to unlock the framerate, the animations would still run at 30 fps so you would have a really weird experience. Kinda like when you unlocked the framerate on Bioshock and all of the ragdoll was done at 30 fps, it just looks choppy and off.

Also I heard the beast is a lot easier with the weapon oil you can learn from the witch.
I was really surprised to see so many pages not having "widescreen modes" like they have "mobile modes".
It looks a bit weird when about 50% is empty, haha.
Nice! Mine came just today, so we are not that far apart
Wow that is a huge leap for you. I haven't yet watched any movies but something sci-fi with many effects would look cool I'm sure.
Maybe I'll watch some Elite or Star Citizen gameplay
I've installed Firefox again recently and now noticed one feature Chrome is REALLY missing: a bookmarks sidebar!
Seriously, Google, why isn't this a thing?
It's so handy when you are on 1080p since you can still see the whole web page without horizontal scrollbars, yet you have quick access to your bookmarks.
Unfortunately, to date Chrome doesn't have this.
There are some extensions that try to mimic it.
There are is a good one but paid. Sadly Google Wallet doesn't support PayPal...
No PayPal support in 2015... wat?

All the more reason we need Jet Set Radio Future to come to PC! It was capable of hitting 60FPS... though after the first few areas, this was pretty uncommon. Getting a clean, downsample-capable version that would run at 60FPS without hardware to choke it? I'm still waiting, Sega!

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I always wonder if people who have trouble with the Beast fight know you can blow out the Barghast spawning fires with Aard, so you can one-on-one the boss. I wonder this because it's not something the game or even the (I think) Brady guide that came with the game mentions.
Also reminded that the two things I really wish Witcher 1 had were fast travel and/or a horse.

Because it's a fine strategy series?
Alternatively, because you want to raffle them with Modbot?
That's a pretty big deal. They're trying to reclaim some space from Twitch.
I just want 60FPS functionality on the iOS app. They mention in that post that it's on its way "in the coming weeks."
Play it. W1 is really good game
I just wish it had controller support. (it still doesn't have controller support right?)

The patch would want to fix a lot of stuff.
The Witcher 3 - Keeping it Real
- It is buggy as hell and crashes consistently in really bad places.
- The combat is janky as fuck. It sucks.
- Everything that isn't combat is even jankier. That isn't even a real word, but it exists because of The Witcher 3. Want to get on your horse? Good luck with that unless you are in the exact right spot at the right angle. Want to loot something? Well you need to stop exactly in the right spot and press a button 5 times until it starts to loot and you just find junk anyway. Want to walk around inside a building? You'll hit every wall five times like you are drunk...which isn't even consistent with the lore.
+ The writing is excellent.
- The writing might be brilliant and subtle too! But when you have to hear the same conversation 5 times over, because it crashes 5 times just after, you realise the skip function doesn't even work consistently.
It still shits all over Dragon Age... but its a 7/10 at best and its best is probably 2 or 3 patches away.

I think that YT invested a lot more time and money in YT Live after Amazon purchased Twitch

Paper Dungeons is 3,59€ on HB. Steam got a (very long) demo, great game.
Can't confirm, scrolling through today's offers and I'm seeing nice prices for cool games.

In my opinion W1 would be impossible to play with gamepad.

Stun him with Aard and he's a one hit kill.

If they ever port JSRF then you'll have your 60 fps. You'll also have an infinitely better game and possibly the best Sega game that came out on the OG Xbox. It depends on how you feel about Orta and PSO.
But it's definitely much better than the original. So damn good.
Even though I got so frustrated by the original that I quit about 2/3 of the way through, I'll give JSRF a try if it hits Steam. Better controls and 60 FPS would be fantastic.

I'll be buying it
at 75% off in the distant future ;_;
I managed to buy Steam Marines and Halfway, both of which would have ended up on the to buy list during the summer sale otherwise, so I'm satisfied. Some of the other discounts have been reasonable and good ($6 for Phantom Breaker seems like a good deal), but the sale isn't that amazing.

I managed to finagle my way to an early access build of Umbra:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7hNYKEG3kk
Still 24 days left on Kickstarter, but it looks like it will fund: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1062682568/umbra?ref=category
There really isn't much to the game other than having a neat behind the scenes look at stuff. Game has already been greenlit as well.

NFS announcement in 1 hour
I thought this was the Steam thread.
Trust me, no one ever uses this mumble. Beside occasionally a couple of LoL players, my friend and I go in there pretty often to just chat and hang out.
Though as you can see, sometimes morningbus and Nabs like to have their Tea Time. (At random hours)
They're poor villagers, as you said. What are they going to do with a super sword? Of course they should give it to me, a damn witcher. Also give me that super suit.
"menu handling" :O does this mean no more crashes?? OMG.
Ma! Get the camera! I made the list! :O
For me it is:
If its get decent review, wait for a sale.
If its Metal Gear Solid 3 level of good. Get it immediately.
Edit: wait, Phawx :O you played Umbra? How was it?
I mean can you give us an impression? Or will the men in black cart you away if you even mention it?

You are a saint for typing these up like this.
It sure makes it easier to figure out how much of a bundle I own. Thank you.
And CON sounds like what advisor company KLEI likes to do to people...
If SotN is good enough for Symphony of the Night, then CotN is good enough for Crypt of the Necrodancer, IMO.
For me it is:
If it's a MGS3 level of "good", skip it.
