But is it possible? It looks like it has controls straight out of octodad. Are there actual objectives or is it just fucking up a patient?

You can complete levels by doing the transplants and you get better ratings based on how quickly you do it and how little blood is lost.

Everytime I try to post on GAF, XCOM keeps calling me and telling me to play it. I can't resist XCOM or these game sales. I think I have a problem.

Wait a second...you're telling me that you PLAY the games you buy?

A lot of people are scared by PC gaming misinformation and outdated notions.

As a recent convert to pc gaming I have to admit that there certainly was an element of that in my reticence to game on pc. The fact that I didn't have a pc on which to do so was overwhelmingly the reason why though!

No.

Unrelated, you left your bathroom light on.

Beautiful response just lovely :D.

Getting a good gaming PC computer is pricy as well though, and it often takes a lot more tweaking to get stuff going correctly.

Some people don't want to spend any time tweaking. You don't have to often, but for some people a game not working once is 1 time too many when on consoles it would just be put in the disk and go.

A worse visual experience is worth it to some people to not have to deal with the hassle of a game that doesn't work because of some weird obscure reason.

Yes well there's that as well!

Ah, so, since I have not enough posts, but send a PM nonetheless I'll be blacklisted now? Only for Esqueleto or in general?! :-/

I WON my copy of Bad Rats like a MAN, probably by writing EROTIC FAN FICTION, if my memory serves me correct.

This was totally 5 pages ago but how do you still have that picture? XD

I don't think it was erotic fan fiction, no.

Or maybe it was.

"Put in the disc and go" in regards to the newer consoles is just as outdated a notion as many of the misconceptions regarding PC gaming still making the rounds.

Either-or is fine but the instructions are to copy the full line so that someone doesn't bungle the code and then get mad that they couldn't read instructions.

yeah it's kinda crazy that steam keeps all my games up to date, but whenever I want to play a 360 game I spend 20 minutes to update my console, install the game, update the game, sit through a bunch of splash screens, etc. Although the installation thing is a personal preference.

Asked this previously in the thread:

My steam wallet is still in Canadian dollars despite going on holiday to England, I can't buy anything in dollars and I bought a £20 Steam card that I can't add to my account without also turning it into dollars.

Anyway, would Steam ban me if I used a Canadian VPN to be able to purchase games?

There's no good way to solve it from where you are right now. Your best bet would have been to contact them in advance to let them know. You can contact support now but it may take a few days to work it out. And unfortunately while they likely wouldn't ban you for using a Canadian VPN, why would you take the chance?
