Thanks to the help of idle master over the past week, I managed to get the cost down from $50 to $18.18. Fortunately, the next piece of MAGIX software I need is cheaper in Eastern Europe; after that, I am done

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.
How you pull up all these posts is like magic.

GAF Gold is great for that sort of thing.
don't lie Jasec, I know your brain is digitally in-tuned with NeoGAF. You can find any post or link within seconds and post it directly without even using a computer.
nah, Jasec simply is a wiz, he doesn't even need gold, or silver.
Also I almost bought Shadow of Mordor earlier this year, but then I reminded myself that there are no guarantees this game will be any good. Now I play waiting game.
This is not a community thread, so a collective vote doesn't mean shit. It will be as mods see fit.
How many times have you seen someone trying to sell copies of a certain game in said games OT? That's right, 0 times, because a banhammer would ensue. Why is this thread any different?
It's not about offtopic or derailing thread. The rules are there for a reason. If we allow shadow to sell here, why shouldn't we allow dmix, bernardo, or kiddyone to sell here? Why the favoritism?
If shadow wants to, he can simply make a post saying "I have a cheap russian source for games for all you awesome steamGAFfers, PM me if you are interested." The fact that he's posting specific games with prices (which I'm pretty sure i remember seeing a post a few days ago, so it's not only once) means that he's interested in getting customers for whatever ulterior motive [whether that be cash or reputation or self-gratification].
Regardless, i feel like this is a topic that should be left up to the judgement of stump or some other mod. Bickering will do nothing.

Edit: Wait, Steamworks was patched in almost a year ago. Serves me right for not looking at the percentages in the above link.

I agree with all of that, but I don't think it needs a decision from a mod. The rule not to sell in here has been there forever, and everybody agreed to it because it makes sense. Now all of a sudden Shadownet is exempt from it because of "reasons". Either everyone follows the rules or no one has to. It's really that simple.
Thanks.

I like it, now we need a movie and a game with him
MX vs ATV Reflex is getting a Steamworks patch. It doesn't use any third-party DRM, but achievements are coming.

Holy crap... JaseC was wrong for a few seconds about steam stuff. I'm scared

Yea it kind of did. I started playing the game at 11PM last night and when I checked the clock again it was 2AM. It still has that addictive quality and it's an extremely polished game.
Some of the missing features are glaringly obnoxious... the fact that you can walk around your house but you have to load into a separate zone to meet go visit your neighbor who lives 10 feet away is daft. The neighborhood itself is only about 4-5 houses big and the remaining houses you see around it are just background art. And the lack of story progressions means that all your neighbors will remain static and never progress around you.
That said, it does have some cool new stuff. Multitasking is a game changer. You can watch TV while eating and talking to someone sitting next to you and that will increase your fun, hunger and social meters all at once. In previous games you'd have to do those one at a time, so here you have a lot more free time to try new shit out. The customization is very deep for those who enjoy it, but again it's missing some features from the last one. There are just lots of tweaks to the existing formula that makes the game better. And it's still got it's incredible charm. Animations that can make you smile and sims that will do silly stuff while you're just watching them.
I actually thought it was going to be a husk of a game with all the missing features, but for a casual player like me there's enough still there to amuse me. I typically only buy the numbered base games every few years so I guess I'm not as critical towards all the missing content as more serious players would be.
Something with the Pontiac G8 and Opal Astra so I can just handball the licences to WB and say, "Now you can re-release Wheelman!"

The crappy weather is interfering with my brainwaves.
I can hear William Gibson sobbing.
Was there ever a Johnny Mnemonic game? Well it was the 90's and movie tie-ins were in vogue albeit utterly dreadful.

All of this makes me wish I'd preordered. I'm definitely gonna pick it up soon now though. But it's approaching the point where I need each game installed because I like each one for different reasons. (I still want/need to pick up the Sims 3 expansions I'm missing at some point.)
I wanted that game, we never got it for that reason alone, I think. (><)
edited: wait, my reasoning seems off, I wanted Matrix the game and we got it, although, not exactly what I expected.
totally mindblown, I thought it never was made
IMDb says "yes". Judging from the title it was one of those FMV games with little actual interaction.
That one Sony game that we DID NOT need on PC.
lies, we need every game on PC, think about Jasec's game count for once, don't be so selfish!
too true (><)

So a typical Telltale game with the addition of FMVs?

Assassin's Creed x Lord of the Rings.
my thoughts exactly
even reviews won't convince it, I want impressions from steamgaf to be sure.
most likely it will be bad, call it a gut feeling
I preordered war in the north. I honestly have no idea why it got such a bad reception. I played it constantly for a few days, had alot of fun with it.
If i had a decent rig I'd preorder shadow of mordor. Right now my laptop can barely play dota 2 without overheating.
I actually liked The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, probably mostly because it was FFX clone of sorts. But in general LotR games tend to disappoint me.
awesome

Depends on what the game uses. I will look into Stalker when I get home, as it seems we don't have a rip available yet.
Generally speaking, the data archives of games that are mod-friendly can be extracted. Poke around on Google for extraction tools/guides.
Time to get to work on the screenplay.

A G8? God, I love that car. Pity that Pontiac had to go.
Man, that music is copyrighted. Don't get yourself banned! How can I eventually shame your Crimzon Clover scores if you're banned?
Is this seriously a problem?
I've been active in the VGM community for close to 20 years, haven't seen even a single C&D. Moreover, we've had actual composers coming out and praising the work we do (or more often than not, being genuinely surprised someone actually cares about their work).
Also, there's really no difference between this and posting Youtube links with VGM, which generally happens whenever we have composer thread here, a weekly occurrence AFAIK. Thanks for caring though.
Do CS:GO missions expire? I have one sitting in my inventory as I bought the current operation pass while it was half off, but since I don't play the game online thanks to my extra-crummy internet connection (the fibre rollout recently started playing silly buggers with my ADSL sync speeds, which is a good thing in its own way), I'd rather save it for when I have real internets.

That would make writing my erotic fan fiction so much easier, might have to pick it up.
There's no expiry in game, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are only available until the end of the operation.

As others said, depends on the game, the engine, etc. Sometimes it's as easy as finding the music in the files of a game. Sometimes you need to find where the music is encrypted and then extract and convert it to a commonly listenable format. Sometimes you need to record it from the game itself as no current known method to unencrypt it yet.
I know how to rip music from some types of games. For example, very familiar with how to extract audio from Unreal 3 games after making game rips of Shadows of the Damned, Silent Hill Downpour, and Lollipop Chainsaw. Unreal is easy as it's always the same between games, or close enough.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. I might ask Valve about it.
I'll have to resist the urge to grab a sledgehammer and rip the copper wiring from the walls while laughing maniacally. No more stream stuttering. No more getting screwed out of playing a game on launch day because the publisher didn't offer a pre-load. No more waiting for Saoirse gifs to upload (and the inability to even browse GAF that comes with uploading something on ADSL).
Haha, come to think of it I do have a mic somewhere.

Hey guys. Just recently finished Lego Marvel and it was great and got me super hype so I picked up that "complete" collection on GMG and have been playing through Lego Batman. Question though, was Lego Pirates ever released on Steam? I saw there was a PC version but it's the only game I can't find. It's not a big deal as it's the one I care the least about but if I end with the rest I would be gutted to not get all of them.

With good reason. It's addictive as hell.
