Yeah, it's the same four games for everyone, despite the description sounding like it could be a 'mystery' selection.

Anyone got any recommendations for a DAC for PC use?
For music? If you need something basic: http://schiit.com/products/fulla
If you need something that works with RCAs (speakers): http://schiit.com/products/modi-2 + http://schiit.com/products/magni-2

Fulla looks like a great fit for me, thanks!
So I just installed Downwell after watching Matthew Matosis' review only to find out that TATE mode isn't working. It seems to be completely broken regardless of what setup you are using. I am pretty disappointed about the fact that neither the developer nor the publisher (Devolver Digital) seem to give a shit about it.

While I haven't done much research on USB DACs, how have I not seen this before? I'm well aware of Schiit's reputation, and it's fully portable and everything? That's tempting.
I'm a laptop user who uses IEMs but plans to upgrade to full cans in the near future. The on-board Realtek is decent enough, but a proper DAC would be fun to have.

You make it sound like I was expecting something worthwhile from a $0.49 bundle.
I was only in it for the 10% discount code.

When does the code expire anyways?
It isn't even valid yet apparently.

Am I the only one with poor performances from Epistory? An i5-2500 and gtx 970 should be sufficient?

It is basically a budget Ass Creed that is linear and respects your time.

Maybe the game isn't using your GTX? Some games have this bizzare issue where they choose your Intel HD card for example over the dedicated gaming gfx card.

DARK SOULS : Bartholomew Trailer This gets me pumped every time.
It's currently bundled along with Lichdom: Battlemage, Shadowgate (2014), Inquisitor Deluxe Edition, Fortix 2 and a couple of other games. Fantasy Heroes Bundle.
A (budget) DAC isn't all that necessary unless your laptop sounds like total ass honestly. It's more a fix for really really bad/broken headphone output. Like the kind of shit that hurts your ears.

Nicole is coming for your organs.
For sure a USB DAC isn't necessary, but it'd be fun, and tbh a lot of PC gaming gear isn't "necessary" lol.
And in any case my laptop headphone out has a noticeable noise floor - tolerable and quiet, but present.
Be aware that USB isn't necessary silent. I have a Bifrost/Asgard combo and IEMs, and I can hear static/noise at all times. DACs can be very sensitive to interference/improper grounding/etc. My on-board audio is actually quieter, but the audio quality isn't as good overall of course.

Despite appearances, this one's not actually random.
Bifrost/Asgard with IEMs, wat. What kind of IEMs are you using lol.
I'm currently using the SoundMagic E50S, which is above average but definitely not super-high-end. It'd probably pair well with the Fulla.
Customs I bought back when I still had a job. And dreams.

Just how good is CDKeys?
I'm very wary of them but at the same time amongst other grey key sellers they seem to be one more trusted than others?
I ask as they are by far the cheapest for the CoD Infinite Warfare + MW1 Remastered bundle

I would stop playing Ass Creed if they made it a fantasy game with ogres.
Didn't know Tree Dead Zed was already out ... that looked like fun when I saw the trailer
They don't have a user marketplace to abuse. I've had good luck. Remember to use the 5% off code from their Facebook page.

Is anyone able to order from Funstock Digital? The site doesn't load properly for me so I can't complete checkout.

I bought Shadow of Mordor from them without any issues. They will ask for a phone number, though.
No, the game definitely runs surprisingly roughly. I actually had frame drops on my gaming PC where I run FO4 (modded) at ultra just fine
It's just poorly optimized or something, I dunno.

Every time I see that game I get the theme from that Freakazoid sketch stuck in my head.
I've been watching Gamespot's Resident Kinevil series (playthroughs of every RE starting from the first game). They're up to RE2, but it's hard to watch because Persona A keeps hand-holding Person B (who's new to the games and supposed to be playing). He basically just tells her what to do, where to go, how to prepare for upcoming encounters, etc. And when they began playing RE2, Person A acknowledges that he was guiding Person B too much and makes an attempt only to act as a gamefaq when absolutely necessary. But after that first episode, he's just resorted to hand-holding again.
This also has had the negative effect of Persona B having constant brain farts because she's isn't learning how to play the games properly.

Similar thing is happening with Giant Bomb's Castlevania series in which they are up to SotN now, except that Alex is just acting as a conduit for their live chat. It has turned this part into a more or less "GB chat plays SotN and guides Vinny through it" instead of "Vinny plays SotN for the first time".
It's a bit of a bummer since such a large part of those types of games is the exploration and discovery, getting guided through large parts of it just waters down the experience for Vinny and makes the videos worse as well.
The bigger issue is that if they just explored SotN naturally, it is very likely that they would never find the 2nd castle. And since that is probably the coolest secret in the game I can give some of their "chat guidance" a pass. That said, I agree with you that they are leaning on it a bit too much and it can ruin the experience a bit.

I've been using the chainsaw sword that came with the pre-order and it's really satisfying to use.
Instead of doing all its damage right away like normal swords it does damage per second its cutting something, so it's pretty good against big enemies. And it feels so good.

Yeah having it slowly saw through an enemy with numbers just flying out of it is great.
Ideally, after getting the bad ending they would just load that save up and continue exploring (like normal people do), and get specific advice if they are stuck. Especially since they already knew about the second castle before they even started playing, I'm pretty sure they could get there on their own.
It's not like SoTN is a difficult game.
