Any strong opinions on Black Mesa? Users reviews on Steam seem mostly positive.

GOG probably signed contracts for exclusive rights to sell some games. Such as the first Worms, Pandemonium, Rayman, and the recent General games.
GOG is the only place where you can buy the DOS versions of King's Quest games. The King's Quest collection that is on Steam is a broken mess that won't play on modern computers and is published by Activision.
Recent stuff like Cinemaware and 3D Realms packages aren't releasing on GOG even though the developers have released individual games on GOG.
GOG is a very small community, and some developers think it is an important market, others don't care and figure most people will buy from Steam. GOG has also declined to sell some games, such as Cook, Serve, Delicious.
I still have my fingers and toes crossed that there's some sort of SP campaign -- something story-driven, that is, as opposed to the stitched-together single levels of L4D and L4D2.
CDPR does require exclusivity when publishers can't be bothered doing the work themselves, but it's temporary. Squeenix is a good example as most if not all of its GOG games hit Steam around six months after their debut. Ubi's one of the bigger hold-outs when it comes to GOG -> Steam releases, but Rayman 2 is actually on Steam... as a pre-purchase incentive for Rayman Origins.
Is that the fabled NFSU3 I see.

SP L4D1&2 was like the most pathetic thing.

Steam only titles: They know Steam is where 99% off people get their games in and they dont care enough about the remaining 1%
GoG only: the exclusivity is bought by GoG, with different deals depending on the game . Many allow for GoG exclusivity because GoG are the ones that will work on a patch to make the game drm-free and working moderna systems.(when they dont steal patches and cracks from other people that is)
Freedom = $1.05

I still kinda wanna play through them, maybe in an open public game while using a controller to really upset people since I'll have no idea what i'm doing.
Stuff!
EDIT: Don't know why Strife is showing as an Origin key. Bundlestars lists it as Steam.

There's something hilarious about the fact the Of Orcs and Men is in a $5 bundle when it never reached $5 on Steam.
The photo my avatar was sourced from is a couple of months old. Here's a more recent one.
Yeah, I gave it a whirl at one point but quickly lost interest.
just when I thought you couldnt get more creepy you have like, personal hanging out with friedns pics
I knew you'd say something like that. Somebody posted it in the iZombie thread, actually.

And how do you know that he isn't the one taking that picture? Maybe he invited her to show his famous "Steam Games Collection"?

Seriously. I've been waiting for it for what seems like forever. Now, to get Styx in a bundle.
Speaking of never hitting a 5 spot... has Planetary Annihilation ever hit that? I know it hit $80 at one point, but $5?

if you turn up the brightness in that pic - you can actually see him outside the window
Styx being in a higher-priced Bundle Stars bundle circa the release of the still-yet-to-be-announced expansion (well, at least I assume it's an expansion) is a possibility.

And that is why I bought this bundle, in addition to STALKER and planetary aniwhatever. Are the other games decent/good?

Really noob question (quite new to particulars of pc gaming tbh) but I'm trying to update my Nvidia drivers.
Do I remove the old before installing the new or vice versa?
There's also like 7 different Nvidia entries in my program list, do they all have to go?

Merchants of Kaidan apparently is, I haven't played it yet. While I have played Letter Quest (maybe too much even) and it is really nice.

If it's supposed to come out this year, when do you think they can announce it at the latest? June?
These days the chances of something going wrong are exceedingly slim, but I always uninstall the old drivers first, anyway. "Old habits die hard" and all that.
I'll second Letter Quest. The game is great if you're into this type of game (boggle RPG hybrid like Bookworm Adventures).

I tend to be lazy sometimes and update through GF exp. maybe every other update ill uninstall and wipe drivers and do a real clean install
Yeah I'd say mid-year. Gabe said many moons ago that, ideally, Valve wants to avoid announcing games until they're <6 months out, and (fast-forwarding to Valve's most recent game) at the time CS:GO was announced (August 2011) it was scheduled for release in "early 2012".

Has anyone here actually played Escape Dead Island? How bad is it really?

Every time I get a STALKER key in a bundle I think to myself: These games look cool, I am going to play through them soon. And then I never do.

I assumed fresh installing would wipe my customizations, like DSR resolutions or stuff I enforce on some games. Isn't that the case?
Yes!!!
Depends. Are you just playing it to survive the zombies or are you looking for more? Like a story that makes sense and all that?
Cliff goes nuts and the entire island becomes a reflection of his poor mental state but all the enemies remain the same.
I played it on console, so the controls will be different, but it was pretty much just...two buttons. No real upgrade system for weapons in sight. Meh.
