I haven't played NV, but Fallout 3 was my first RPG and I hold it in very high regards. Had so many unforgettable moments roaming the DC Wasteland

Hilarious. As if somehow their "hatred" of Phil Fish is merely the random "senseless" unwarranted response by people who, just as likely as not, are equally "hateful" of nerds around them in real life as well?
First off, I see people describing their dislike of Phil Fish for the most part, not "hatred". I also see them disliking, or in certain cases, "hating" Phil Fish, not as some senseless kneejerk response to some random "nerd" who they impulsively dislike, along with all nerds they ever come in contact with, but in SPECIFIC response to Phil Fish's utterly rude, egotistical, narcissistic, and offensive trolling, and readily apparent use of trolling to push a specific public persona that actually gets him press and makes him money because of the trolling.
Phil Fish CHOSE to define himself as he has. If it had merely been one incident where he spoke out against Japanese developers and apologized for a faux paus, who would even be talking about him for anything other than his great game? He took the initiative himself to push his "edgy" trolling because he finds some kind of merit in it, for whatever reason. I choose to label his offensive behavior in a realistic manner, without going out of my way to make specious apologist excuses for it, simply because I don't feel trolling warrants a starry-eyed gushing response, no matter who does it and no matter what great thing they have created.
One also has to wonder why so many people defend his behavior and public persona when he seems to be fine with it, and the backlash it inevitably creates, himself. Not only fine, but profiting from it, and I would say intentionally so. The genius troll is receiving the ultimate positive response a genius should inherently expect from intentional trolling. It is his plan, just go along with it.

Sonic bundle
Might get Fallout 3 GOTY but steam says its not optimized for W7 :S

Anyone?
New Vegas, 3 is hot garbage compared to it, people only favor it because it's their first Fallout.
Everything from gaming mechanics to story / characters / quests is all better in New Vegas.
Can we let this shit go now? I'm sure that all the big companies which produce AAA games have AT LEAST one guy like Phil Fish in their company. I don't see anyone complaining about them?

Who is Phil Fish and why all the hate?
PES has been getting better each year (Since 11 i think), but IMO still Fifa triumphs.
I'm liking Borderlands 2 far more than I thought I would.
Weapons are far better and the missions have much more variety.
Also more types of enemies.
I made it about 15 hours into BL1 before I was bored to tears and had to quit. I think I may be able to stick this one out to the end, provided it isn't ridiculously long.
edit: Fallout3 > New Vegas. NV has better companions and writing in general, but the world is not as fun to explore. Also Caesar's Legion is a lame enemy.

I liked New Vegas but at least the beginning part is boring compared to FO3.

At first you can get a TON of crashes, but if you browse the community threads you can find an easy fix that makes the game run smooth.

So apparently I have 92 games on Steam but have only spent $288.13 total on them. Even if you consider any humble bundles I've bought, that would still probably put me under $300.00. That's a pretty good per-game average.
He called Japanese Developers shit or something like that and the hate began.
You mean the baby / kid / teenager bit? That was easily the worst part of the game, it also set up the whole ''going after dad'' bit which brought the whole game down.
NV sets it up perfectly and alot faster, you got shot in the head, go find the guy that did it, bam, game starts.
That's definitely true. Starting in the Vault and the short time after that is a lot more interesting and unique than what New Vegas does.
Yeah, I got it for my 10 year old brother for his birthday because he loves trucks and everything, and I might have snuck a couple minutes in on it while he was asleep. It's surprisingly fun for what it is.

I tried the demo last night. The rain in that game is awesome, I loved how it blurs the windshield.
That said, I'm not sold on the game. I don't know how long will I be able to take it before it gets boring, so I'd rather not spend my money on it. Which is a shame, since I was digging driving cross-country.

My biggest gripe with BL2 are the weapon manufacturers. I really dislike how set in stone some of the traits are. Hyperions are always those "get more accurate as you fire" guns. I hate them and as such, I instantly throw away all hyperion guns. It wasn't like that in BL1. Hyperion just had higher accuracy, and it was up to the gun to make itself more unique.
The hellfire SMG also felt a lot better in BL1. And the Pestilent Crux. How could they get rid of that!

Is there any reason why I should care about my steam profile level?
I have a bunch of cards, and see that making a badge will raise my level to 6. Is it worth it?

my cake, fuck off
My average spent per game in 7 years is 6.66. Runnin' with the Devil.
Thanks for nethergate bro. I can't buy the humble bundle with the steam sale currently going on.

Was this meant for me?
If so, yes. I had never cared about RPGs (at the time, RPG to me equalled Final Fantasy...don't hurt me). Then I saw previews and reviews for F3. Decided to take the plunge, loved it. If not for F3, I never would have considered games like Alpha Protocol and the Souls games

A friend gifted me torchlight 2. I usually don't play these types of games. What do I do with it? Can I talk to my friend over the mic in coop?
Thanks for the spoilers :/

Voted. It looks interesting...which means it won't win.
I'm not really interested in PES, or any soccer games for that matter. But speaking of PES, I'll be going to see it at PAX Australia because it's using the Fox engine, I'm really excited to see how it looks in motion.

You have the cards...just make the badge. What would it hurt?
Your steam level affects the chance you'll get a booster pack drop (which is extra 3 cards for a game). Though those effects only kick in every 10 levels, so getting 6 doesn't really matter.
I hope you're joking.
It's the first 10minutes of both games, marketing around these games spoiled more than my post ever did.

Those are the first actions in each game.
You get to know this within the first 15 minutes of gameplay.
Yeah, I've only played maybe an hour of it, trying to work through controls (since I don't have a wheel, nor the desk setup to use one), but it's interesting. Seems like something to do while listening to podcasts.
I too voted for Monaco. Remember seeing it on a Giantbomb QL/Live show. Seemed colorful, but maybe I should look at it again to make sure before purchasing (if it wins)

First 10 minutes of the games spoiled. Might as well not even play the 100 hours that follow that.
