Who are you again?

Also, I don't know Marco. I don't feel like rolling back to a previous driver just so I could play this mess of a game. I honestly should just wait for a patch or a new driver. It's not like I don't have any other games to play right?

You're gonna have to install a driver to play it anyway, you may as well do it now. It takes like 3 minutes to do. I was worried it would take more steps than I wanted to take, but it's literally the same as installing a new driver.

why would you use that anyway, it's soo janky
The biggest issue I have with Big Picture is that it pops up every time I try to turn off my DS3 via the Home Button. I hope that will be addressed in the future.
It's one of those games where you see the pics, see previews and think "Wow, this looks legit fun, bit depressing with awesome mixed together." Then you play it and realize how fucking annoying the battle mechanics become later on, and how the story isn't that great.
You still enjoy it, but it turns out to be a let-down, but still think it's worth it because it's something different from what you usually play.
...atleast that was my experience.

well that could be a reason.

Yep, that case escalated quickly indeed... money changing hands for what could potentially be interpreted as 'undue' (or disproportionate) profit can definitely lead to some tension (although it was maneil99 who was banned, before liezryou reads this and panics!)
Ahah, now that I think about it, I mistook one for the other, because they got in a small argument when maneil99 started.
The original post is an advertisement, but expressed as a public service annoucement. If one does not want many customers, one does not advertise in the first place but let the word-of-mouth do the advertisement by itself. Moreover, I disagree about your point being traders wanting to get overwhelmed with responses: first, there is an instance of someone leaving trading because it was too much work, an active GAFfer in this very thread ; second, there are enough customers in this thread to make a substantial profit as a trader, one does not have to go to the B/S/T to find customers, so I am sure some traders would rather advertise here than in the B/S/T if it were not against the rules ; third, if a trader were the dedicated trader in the Steam thread, there would be no other trader to compete with, it is a kind of a trader's dream: you get all the people from one thread instead of a smaller segment of people in the B/S/T. Finally, if there are folks interested in buying from traders, they can go to the B/S/T, it is not a secret thread, right?
found my dude
Look at all those pending investigations. You're a terrible detective!
nightmare mode is batman level detectiveness
Ok I don't mean to be rude but this anonymous seller is selling to very few people for a reason. If he wanted to, he could start selling on b/s/t again. On top of the fact that its directly against the rules to sell here, it's not acceptable.
I'm not just saying this because I am also a seller, in fact I consider the anonymous seller a good friend and my mentor in many ways.
Also like WTF? When did I go crazy on someone in the B/S/T thread? That was maneil. BTW this was the same maneil who also tried to start selling games on this thread last year (Cue in JaseC with the post link). Might want to rethink that path shadow.

or a general drama thread?
i have not gotten a single crash since i started. looks like only nvidia cards are having this issue?
I sent you a PM. Let's take this privately.
If so that would be terrible. Is everyone here who is having trouble with DR3 have an Nvidia card?
For a minute there I though you were talking about Nick's funky Rocky Horror get-up.
Though the Combo Weapon with that Protoman sign and the object next to it
the pogo stick
I'd rather quit selling altogether then cause any sort of drama. I just think buying and selling should to the buying and selling thread that's all. If shadow wants to toss his hat in the ring more, so be it. But not in this thread.
Yeah, I remember what you're talking about. He was Rash's middle-man. You actually had a run-in with him about it, haha. Also, get back on Steam so I can buy 9 keys from you.

If one wants an exclusive clientele, one advertises discreetly. And that's apparently what was being done here. God forbid someone from the Steam thread tries to help out the people he knows. The fact that some people here apparently feel that "the rules" (as arbitrary as they are - another poster just like us came up with them; they weren't handed down to us from Heaven on stone tablets) are more important than somebody's intent of doing his friends a solid, and would call him out for it, really rubs me the wrong way. Sorry.
Talking about The Golden Joystick Awards... DoS and Banished not being there in any form is sad state of affairs, I must say.

This thread addresses some of the problems people are having:

There seem to be a few workarounds until they get it patched up and...wait, what the hell?
Why would laptop gaming not be supported? Insanity!
I'm all in for the next part. The ending was rough, but you have to admit it fit the tenor of the game.
I actually realy liked Escaflowne, the bits that I've seen.
I put in 12+ hours into the game during the weekend and the only issue I had were that DR3 does not like the FRAPS overlay. No crashes at all on AMD 7950.
That's reassuring. Are you using the 14.7 beta driver?

So because rules are made by a man and not by God, one can simply ignore the rules? The first step would be to discuss the rules with a moderator and inquire about the reasons we have these rules in the first place.
Moreover, I would say advertising on the Steam thread is all but discreet. Think about all the lurkers who are not even registered on NeoGAF: they are part of the "exclusive clientèle".
If the intent is really to help "friends", just advertise it in your Steam activity page, which is visible to Steam friends. This is what I would call discreet and acceptable.
It is pretty obvious, no need to give his name.

I have my suspicions, especially given liez's post.
Yes.
Edit:
I know who Shadownet's source is, because as of a few weeks ago he's also mine. He's legit.
Yeah, I remember what you're talking about. He was Rash's middle-man. You actually had a run-in with him about it, haha. Also, get back on Steam so I can buy 9 keys from you.
Gimme a bit, just got home. Lol poor rash quit a while ago after his main account got trading banned and he got burned out, i still talk with him every now and then. Ironically I'm pretty sure i introduced steamGAF/maneil with rash's site as a price checker, iirc.
Getting more on the topic of games, this might be a bit blasphemous but i decided to get sims 4 and open origin for the first time in god knows how long. Is the origin downloader torrent based? I can't find any settings for it.
I don't know why everyone is making such a big deal of Shadownet's post. He is clearly doing it as a service to SteamGAF and neither he or his anonymous friend are making any profit out of it. After seeing so many people trying to rip-off others in the BST thread when it comes to selling Steam games, I think that everyone should be thankful that someone's giving you the chance to buy games at the lowest price possible
I did the exact same thing with TF2 keys a few months ago. I already had plenty of off-site customers that I did business with but after seeing some gaffers in the Steam thread struggling with finding a reliable second hand key seller, I decided to help them by offering to sell them keys. I did not post in the BST thread at first because I didn't want to expand and do business with people that I did not trust and was not familiar with. I didn't receive complains from anyone as far as I remember.
Not that I encourage Shadownet to start spamming the thread but it is a bit pretentious to call him out for a single post with all the spam and shitposting that happens here everyday

As I did not get around to upgrade my Windows 8 to 8.1 yet (yes I am lazy), I am still using 14.4, the latest possible driver for Windows 8.0.
Someone sell me on Shadow of Mordor. What is the game about? The two trailers on Steam don't really tell anything about the gameplay.
I like Tolkien's lore, so maybe the game is for me? Or not, if it butchers the lore?
I'll try the turning of "Shader Cache" option and see if that help tomorrow. Thank you for the link sir.

Hi SteamGAF. I keep waiting for TEW information any day now
Bye SteamGAF, back to Wii U!

Not that blasphemous on the whole, but maybe around these parts. I hear Sims 4 actually turned out pretty good. I saw a bunch of posts in the OT that rekindled my desire for it at least. And hey, I use Origin all the time, even if it is only for Sims and Titanfall...
I'm not sure about Origin's downloader. All I know is it lists the hard drive write speed as download speed, or something like that. It not having settings isn't all that surprising though.
well.. at least we know this game won't use WB Play
Shadow Broker? ^^
Unfortunately I am not friends with many of the good people on SteamGAF. Also I don't know about most people but I do not visit the activity page that much. I imagine there are those like me. So I feel like they might miss out on this. I mean, many regular here at SteamGAF frequent this thread at least once a day and you are right. I will only post this once and hope words of mouth get pass around.
I figured as much, it was giving me 1 MB/Sec download speeds on my 4MB internet. Made me do a double take for a sec.

The WB Play logo is on the game's official website, but the point is moot at we don't know what WB Play actually is yet.
Edit:
Yeah, Origin is misleading:
My guess is that it's going to be more similair to itunes than steam.
I was under the impression the rule in question came to us from MRORANGE and not Stump or another mod. I may be mistaken, in which case I apologize. If that's indeed the case, I see no reason why we can't make the occasional exception if we collectively feel they're justified.
Not everyone in the Steam thread is friends with every other SteamGAFfer. Hell, not everyone in the thread is even a member of the NeoGAF group. (I'm not.) So "advertising on your Steam activity page" when you want word to go out to people who are regulars here is no guarantee of anything.
I'm just tired of all the bullshit at this point, to be honest. One person posts a couple of animated gifs or an "advertisement", and we end up with five pages of people bitching about "the rules" and thread derails. It's one thing when the thread's swamped with off-topic posts, but we're nowhere near that now, and him posting like that wasn't about to plunge us into anarchy. It's gotten stupid now.
Ain't no drama like SteamGAF drama (and no I totally did not paraphrase a S Club 7 song).
Well seeing that Arkham Origins (and on further inspection Injustice) Trojan Horsed WBID into the game for a skin unlock I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more details in their next couple of releases.
