so yeah im embarrased but:

do I need the DLC that has small-ish missions (AKA Swat pack etc) to get every achievement in sleepy dawgs again? I had 100% and the DLC put it back at 90% or so, but im not sure if I need EVERYTHING or just the 3 ones that are story based

Haha. That's because I know it will inevitably disappear from Steam (as it should).

What in the fuck...

So I bought Dark Souls a few days ago. Installed it. Installed GFWL. Went to play. GFWL requested a Windows ID. I didn't remember mine (IIRC) so I proceeded without it, entered the product key, and the game warned me that I wouldn't be able to save (because I wasn't logged in). Just wanted to try it out so I went ahead. Ran poorly. Shut it down.

Today I install DSfix, start up the game and again I'm prompted to enter a Windows ID. So I create one, then log in. It asks for the product key again, but the same one is there so I just hit submit. It tells me that the key is registered to another account. However, I didn't even enter an account last time. So what the hell? How is it possible that I was prevented from saving because I wasn't logged in... yet it also somehow tied the product key to an account that I never even entered?

I'm close to buying Amnesia. I remember following it when it was in development, almost preordered on their website. I'm a wussy though :/, but I loved Penumbra. Almost want to to support the devs.

I didn't play many games during the last year (other than trying some MMOs and console games here and there) because i was busy.

This steam sale is a joy: I'm catching up and buying a whole library of games for just a few€.

Ok, bought Sleeping Dogs (plus the 4 story DLCs), Mark of the Ninja and System Shock 2. I guess that's 19 bucks well spent. I don't even know when I'll have the time to play these lol

All the info is in the OP. Gift the game to your own e-mail and copy the link that appears there, you can remove evertything after the "?", and use it as if it were a key for modbot.

Go to a name in your friends list, and invite to trade. You can only trade with friends, I believe, so add that person as a friend first.

I had the same issue with another GFWL game I had. I only use one live ID too.....Still said the CD key was registered to another account, and it wouldn't let me log in to the one I use.

Fuck these DRM programs that do nothing but create problems for legit users.

Honestly, and I mean absolutely no offense by this, that assumption of mine mainly stemmed from your admitted inability to tie your own shoelaces. That and how you actually covered your ears and went "LA LA LA LA LA" to escape hearing about spoilers to a game, someone reacted to your reaction and attempted to yell over your LA LA LA LA LAs, you fall down because of your untied shoelaces, get up and give him the finger, and then got on a bus to go home.

That sounds like Junior High problems. I don't dispute your claim in anyway. It just felt like something completely different.

Iiiiiiit's time for Today's RetroGamer giveaway!

...I'm not sure what the mystery game is. Well, I think I know what the mystery game is. I know the title, anyway, but it's as much a mystery to me as it is to you. I know nothing about it. I wasn't actually sure that it was really a game, to be honest.

Have fun!

Hmm. Guess you can't do it through the website then. At least not that I can see. Honestly there's still some interface things they need to work out with this whole community thing. Thanks :)

Well, I've never known and I simply can't. It's beyond me.
If someone was trying to spoil your video game, would you not do the same thing?

It's excellent. If you have any interest in stealth games it's a definite buy. The mechanics are simple, the visuals are simple, and the controls are simple; any sort of excess has been completely removed and the result is an extremely tight game that's easy to pick up and play. Each component of the game bolsters the mechanics as the visual and audio clues provide all the information that's needed to progress through the game at whatever pace you wish; running through the levels without stopping and methodically wiping out everybody are both equally valid paths. The variety of content implores you to replay it multiple times and the New Game Plus drastically alters the challenge of the game (you can choose between New Game Plus mode and New Game, retaining your items, in case you are not a fan of the changes) and tests what you've learned by playing the standard mode. The game isn't overly difficult and is quite accomodating; the emphasis is clearly on stealth but lethal and non-lethal playthroughs are but catered for and you have enough tools at your disposal to escape detection that restarting to the checkpoint should not be necessary if you are caught. Perhaps it isn't for everybody, but at €3.74 it is a game I would definitely recommend if you've any interest in the genre and in trying something that is simple, but unique.

Every publisher that cares even a little bit about their backlog of titles should be removing GFWL from their titles now. MS has abandon the platform and if it wasn't for the fact that it uses the Xbox Live backend, I'm convinced the games that utilize it wouldn't work for anyone at all at this point.

Having a bad day? Buy a steam sale game to cheer yourself up.
Something good happens? Buy a steam sale game to celebrate.

I'm finally playing through FEAR 3 right now, and man is it...different.
Click to expand...

I've been playing it on my family members computer and man, it just feels uninspired, unwilling to take risks. The co-op element seems cool, but ma even the scares are gone. And wtf is with the story.
The world and level design is bland, I'm so disappointed.
