The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
I think I asked this weeks ago but hell if I remember, was there any more to that WWE 2K15 on PC story besides just the poster/flier/whatever it was?

So is there any way to make Rage look better? I know it's an old game. Also I tried making a rageconfig.cfg file to fix the POV. The default is 80, trying to change it to 100. But the rageconfig.cfg just isn't executing.

Edit: Figured out the pov thing. Now just gotta figure out if I can make Rage look better. Everything is already on max settings

I function under the impression that steamgaf hates everything while drinking bourbon and smoking cigars.

maybe stallionfree just posts a lot, I dunno

Not only did I love Fallout 3, but I liked it more than NV. I've been having a good time with Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Those two things alone put me squarely in the "no taste" club around here, I think.
 
So I just got a credit card offer from my bank for a "prequalified" card. Im 21 and I feel like I probably should be building credit. It has an apr of 20.24% and an annual fee of $39. I was thinking about getting one at the minimum of $300 solely for steam purchases and maybe food. I currently make about $200 every two weeks at my work study job. Is this a good idea for an introductory card?

I don't know much about the US credit score thingy but I wouldn't get a credit card unless I'm pretty sure I can pay of my purchases immediately.

Pretty bad APR. I'd only get it if you pay it off totally every month, which is a decent way to build credit when you don't have much.

Do you have self-control and can pay it off every month? If so, then you can use it till you get better offers in the future.

That's horrifying APR.

Ignore the offer, actually go to your bank, and talk to them about it.

Oh, and force yourself to run with a low limit.

Yeah I figured I won't get too crazy. The most expensive thing I've bought on steam so far is the Metro Redux bundle at $25. I have about 2 g's in the bank in case I get too wild.

There's a sharpening filter in the options menu, but the game arguably looks worse with it enabled.

Hmm I'll try those. But I guess I shouldn't be expecting miracles from such an old game.

Yeah, that happened hours ago. Keys haven't been deactivated, though, so there's a small victory for those who redeemed them.

I think more people ended up with a copy of Warlock 2 than they did with Dead Rising 3. So a bigger victory,

Edit: Rage look like a less cartoony Borderlands and without much humor. I'm serious, I thought I was playing an early version of Borderlands.

what happens if cards that have dropped from a game that gets removed?

I really doubt they will revoke the steam keys but just in case I wonder if I shouldn't run a little idle master while sleeping.

guys the tweet asks about a valve and platinum collab..

it won't be HL, CS or TF for sure...

actually I could see them making a character action game w/ the cast of DOTA or set in the DOTA universe... if that happens it would be a doto I could get behind.... or maybe they make a doto spinoff that plays more like SMITE?

(will probably be ricochet 2... no not that ricochet 2, a real sequel to ricochet)

edit: while checking wikipedia for their IPs I see this??

J. J. Abrams collaboration
At the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit, Gabe Newell confirmed that he and director J.J. Abrams were collaborating to produce a Half-Life or Portal film, as well as a possible new game.[44]

u wot m8?

The cards continue to exist as before.

I don't think anything will ever come of that.

Let's face the truth here:
Kamiya was there to get pointers on how to get pointers on how to do proper PC ports and the like.
