So valve seems to be cracking down on ukraine prices, Alien: Isolation and Football Manager 2015 got raised to be up to par with the russian prices in the last week.

If any of you guys are still interested in cheap Ryse, I'd pick it up while u have the chance.

That has nothing to do with Valve. Alien and FM'15 are both Sega games. ;)

So 6 hours in, I finally got my first "crash to desktop" in Dead Rising 3. I feel like that's probably the appropriate amount of playtime before encountering a bug to let it slide. Sucks that I lost about 25 minutes of playing though and I was finally figuring out where to go. I get so lost in that game.

Anyway, just wanted to post this again for the "night crowd"
or "day crowd", depending on your time zone

I'll be playing games on Steam for 24 hours straight on October 25th and live streaming the whole thing.

My first crash in Dead Rising 3 was about an hour in, which was enough to make me stop until it's patched for good really.

Anyway, good luck with your charity event. I'll certainly try to remember to watch and donate on the night and I hope you have fun. I'm far too much of a lightweight to even stay up for 24 hrs, let alone game that long!

Good point, but with the recent wave of region lockings, I wouldn't be surprised if valve had a hand in this.
Click to expand...

I'd say the only instance of region-locking that can be attributed to Valve thus far is earlier in the year when Banished, Injustice, Hegemony: Rise of Caesar and a few other titles had ACRTAG slapped on them. It happened at about the same time and all of the indies affected later reverted the change once they caught wind of it (WB did too, but later reinstated the restriction).

I'm just saying. With the recent wave of region lockings on top of the prices changes amongst other things, I think it's fairly safe to assume valve is starting to crack down on regional price exploitation by putting pressure on publishers/developers.

I really don't think the evidence suggests Valve is actively encouraging region-locks and price increases.

I get serious motion sickness from it, so I just looked up the plot and call it a day. And the 90s settings did nothing for me, probably because I didn't grow up in the west.

Sam's handwriting is horrible, do all your teens write like this?

Apparently this happened:

1. Open my PC
2. "Thank you for your purchase"
3. "Resident Evil Revelations Complete something something"

Not sure when or why

They did in the 90s.

It's probably bad because teachers were too busy trying to teach cursive because it was going to be very important in the future.

Whoever told me Season 2 of The Legend of Korra isn't as good as the first one is wrong.

I know, I know. opinions.

But I'm loving it so far, on episode 6. #hype for season 3.

I liked Season 2 as well!

Also, Korrasami is real, damn it.

Back to gaming news though, and bloody hell, $2.5b is a lot of money Microsoft could have invested in new titles and IPs.

i guess it's not necessarily dependent but there's a stereotype there and there are expectations when you're playing a game like gone home

like i know there's one of them commentary audio thingies on them looking for moms to do handwriting just because there's a just a "mom" quality to it. i guess there's also maybe a generally shared "teenage girl" thing to it, etc.

The villains are one-dimensional, and Korra being a grumpy dick didn't help things.

Something something Chinese Calligraphy, even those who didn't embrace this kind of writing set into other styles when they grow up, distant away from the childish scribbles.

Black Lagoon if you want to fuck shit up and Bakemonogatari if you're in for entertaining dialogs.

7&8 will either make you love season 2 even more or realize that it's pretty crap because what they're able to do in those two episodes is more than what they did with that whole book.

Thanks,
I've donated $15 now, even though I'm a bit short on money at the moment.

Thought I would be the one to break your $250 goal since it was on $247. But the amount haven't changed after my donation so...

Anyone ever received this error after trying to purchase something on the Humble Bundle Store?

humbleerror.PNG


This first occured to me 3 days ago. (Sept 10th)

I bought Shadowrun Returns for myself. But I also wanted to buy it as a gift.
Humble Bundle store capabilities is so barebones you have to do this in 2 separate purchases.

The first purchase for own use worked perfectly.
The second purchase always throws me this error.

What I tried afterwards:
- waited a bit
- cleared all humblebundle.com cookies
- tried the next day

Since I still kept getting it, I contacted support and this is the response:

humblesupport.PNG


Because their store system can't handle the same game twice, I look like I'm frauding lmao.
(Luckily I could still purchase the new Humble Bundle. It seems those are separate systems.)

Sadly I am unable to lift the fraud protection, but we are looking into improvements in the future.
Wat is dis?

I suggest you try back later with a different payment processor and the order may be able to go through.
The only other option is by credit card and I don't have that nor do I need it.


So the guy didn't even provide to help, even though the error message - and the e-mail I receive after a failed purchase - state: "Please contact us and we can help you make your purchase!"
