anyone here who uses paypal, how can you move your pp balance into your available balance? Transfered money from my bank a week ago, and still can't access it fully.

paypal takes an ungodly long time to do that. i use a canadian bank and find it just awful. what i did instead (iirc) is just verify a bank account and add a credit card, which allows for instant bank transfers with your cc as a backup form of payment.
 
So did you get it?
Any comments if you did?

I'm at work, will probably get it once I get home if I make it, will be close timewise, but I'm not fully decided yet, need to investigate more.

Also might not be able to provide much info, my laptop is 5 years old and I'm waiting to get a new one soon, so I might not install it until I get my new laptop ( in a few weeks hopefully )

But I found this you might find interesting ( amazon users reviews ):

Did I already miss Batman being on deep discount and odds on it coming back around? I see that it's 50% off right now but curious if it got to 66 or 75. I've been checking now and then but I missed a few early days to vacation.
 
I initially had trouble getting Sikkmod and the recommended high-res texture mod to place nicely (can't recall the name). Eventually I discovered that a lighting setting in the former that was causing the game's renderer to trip over itself; everything was fine thereafter.

Always something minor like that. BTW, JaseC. I can't find your post on moving games, and playing them of a external. I remember something about "Testapps" You posted it yesterday. I want to re-install Spec-Ops :)

So what's the feeling on Unepic going on sale at some point during the proceedings? Most games that are put in as dailies/flash/community are already discounted before that happens. I'm guessing the no discount on Unepic means it's unlikely to get included in the sale at all?

yeah, I had to pay with card yesterday, which wouldn't be a big problem, but for example I'm thinking of getting Dust by asking a US gaffer to get it for me, but I can't send money this way. I can only access $5 right now. Bummer.

Though I'm sure Dust will return for a flash at least, but I'd be calmer if this got resolved asap.

Here's the post, but it applies more to the particular situation liezryou was in, where he'd moved games to a different HDD and then uninstalled them through Steam. If Steam already considers the games installed and you just want to move the game folders to a different drive, it'd be easier to use SteamTool/Steam Mover.

Yeah doubt it, it's already at a discount price due to being early access as well.

Yeah that's kinda what I figure as well. I'm just being cheap, haha. I have a few 33-50% discounts on my wishlist that I'm holding out for a 66% or 75% on... La-Mulana, Night of the Rabbit, Another World, Papo & Yo, Monaco, Ms. Splosion Man, Skulls of the Shogun, I'm looking at you...

I know the feeling, I've got Thief on my wish list at 66% off but I'm just waiting to see if it might be a flash/daily :p

Hello all, fellow GAFfers, hope you are doing fine. Did I miss something in the last 6-8 hours? Thanks in advance.

My Steam is getting a new update, hmm.

Does anyone else only have two things to vote on?

Dishonored or Mark of the Ninja?

I've only played Mark of the Ninja so I can't decide for you, but I'll tell you that Mark of the Ninja is a great 2D stealth game with great style and mechanics. I've heard Dishonored is great too, so you really can't go wrong.

Problem with owning most of the stuff I want is I want to buy Orcs Must Die 2 despite only having a few hours poured into the first one with plenty left to enjoy.

Steam Sale problems.

I would be careful reading about what people think about audio programs, I have learned that a lot of people that are involved with audio are really, really, really, really stupid and rude (I just read one of the threads on the steam forum for this program and I want to kill myself).

Also found a comparison of program features http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentati...c Creator 6 Touch&Lang=EN&Req=Comparison.html
Seems to only support 8 VSTi per a project, so you might need to bounce down tracks a bit.

I see five pictures..so I need 5 cards to make one picture..5 pictures to make a badge....?

If so..not worth it to me.

To craft a badge you just need to complete the set; so if you're seeing five images, you need five cards.
