Bad Rats definitely changed the way I view media. >.>
And "Albert and Costello"? Really?

It'd be nice if WB fixed this. The expansions aren't worth playing and having to download an extra ~12GB worth of data (I assume the actual download size is slightly less) to play the original game is a tad excessive.

The games missed the compression revolution when it comes to textures

This is another GREAT one:
"Way back when I was a wee baby, there was a saying amongst the other babies in the village: "euugghhhffffppth." It was commonly said to reassure each other that when you least expect it, the prey can easily become the predator, and the predator can become cat meat, thus is the pivotal theme of Bad Rats, one of the most influential games I've had the pleasure of experiencing.
No game has captured the ever-shifting dichotomy of the predator/prey relationship quite like Bad Rats. This game takes the classic 'cat and mouse' trope and flips it on its head by putting you in control of a band of rebellious rats fed up with their place in the food chain.
The physics are very realistic, almost to a fault, but serve a thematic purpose in their variability, which is that radical movements don't always go as planned, and in a 'david and goliath' situation like the one in Bad Rats, even the forces of the universe are working against you. Plus, the rats look like real rats, at least the ones from my childhood, and the marriage of realistic visuals and complex physics really help to immerse you in the game's universe.
Bad Rats is an undeniable triumph in interactive narrative, and even overcomes the classic story-game pitfall by also being fun to play. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll discover things about yourself, and with its bargain price you have no excuse not to play this gem."

I had this same problem a few days ago. Registered a key, never got a reply. Tried registering it again, got a PM saying that one had already been registered.
Also, 2 days ago I claimed a key from Sykotic but never got a PM from ModBot either, he sent it to me directly.
ModBot just doesn't like me.

The entire game is a love letter to HK cinema, so I thought the costumes were worth picking up if you love HK films. There are so many references.
Sure, "Generous".

Every three votes in Community Choice gets you Bad Rats.
The game was patched to support widescreen resolutions natively (hor+ rather than the god-awful ver-).

That's definitely true, times were different then as well. I imagine had Human Revolution came out back then it would've also taken a beating for straying from the original, but nowadays it's championed as a return to form. These kind of FPS RPG blends are just so rare though that even back then I enjoyed Invisible War despite all the disappointment surrounding it at the time and the stigma that's stuck to it since.
I dunno man, can you not get over PS2 quality assets? It's no looker but it's a shame if that's the only thing that's gonna keep you back.I know it's only $2.50 but if I can't get over the graphics, it becomes like playing Dark Forces on the PSX.
Speaking of, I've never been a huge fan of visual mods for games and Deus Ex's is no exception. Take for example Anna Navarre as she originally appears. She's blocky, her textures are blurry, but she looks fine to me. She's not overly detailed or anything but it's not distracting as she currently is, my mind can fill in the blanks.
Now as she is in the HDTP, the visual mod for character models.
Oh god what have we unleashed to the world kill it with fire.

At $0.50 I can't imagine it's a lot

Jesus, that is terrible.
I doubt it. More likely is that the servers simply can't keep up with demand.
Damn, that makes me want to eat strawberries...

So next to Year of the snake, any other Sleeping Dogs DLC worth it? I don't want any overpowered weapons or xp though.

What deems if a game has cards? I saw some said Super house of dead ninja had cards, but it doesn't say so when I go to the screen to buy it.

Sweeeeeeeeeet. =D
Not that I know of, but you can manually edit the config files to set your desired resolution: http://www.widescreengaming.net/wiki/F.E.A.R.
Bear in mind that the UI will probably look really small, especially the subtitles, but it's still readable.

I love how modders completely and unnecessarily sex up female character models.
Oblivion and Hl2 mods are the worst.

I remember when I first played IW when it came out without ever playing the original and even back then I thought it was interesting but mediocre as hell. Then I played the original and was blown away by how this older game was vastly better in nearly every single way possible.

I voted for Sim City 4 because:
1) I want it
2) I have Civ V Gold
3) Age of Empires was already 50% earlier on this sale and was also on Amazon
