I believe it is for the billboards in game so EA can update them with new ads.

Well, that explains all the ostrich ads.
So what info do they collect? From where?
Pretty sure EA got scolded for the same in-game advertising in BF 2142, IIRC it was regarded as spyware or a root kit.

I've had the story spoiled, and I could use that money for other games. I'm running low on funds; I have to be selective. I can live without it for a few more years
ALSO, I want to play Burnout! Who do I add? As in, names!

Aaaaaaaaand I'm outta here!
It doesn't install Securom anymore. The files are still in the download, but they stay inactive.
I cracked and double dipped on Burnout Paradise. I already regret it. I mean, it's nice to have it on pc, but I already played it for 100+ hours on 360, that 4 dollars could be important tomorrow
Not to say I wont have fun with it again here now, but dang it! lolThe Grim Heaper

Probably not the first to wonder this, but I wouldn't be shocked if Arma ends up significantly discounted on the last day. Sales would go through the roof.

Yeah, no real point in me getting it.Aaaaaaaaand I'm outta here!
Great purchases.I think I'm done
I'm always a KB&M guy on my PC but I am getting a 360 wired controller for Bastion and Limbo.. but I've heard that Witcher 2 is actually best played with a controller too on PC? Is this true??

At least you're playing a Steam-game!

Lol. How is that, by the way?

I'm buying all these games, but my PC doesn't even arrive until next Thursday. Knowing my luck, none of the games I've bought will actually play on it!! lol

If anyone were planning to buy Need for Speed Shift, hit me up! I brought a copy on accident! Steam link in my profile or OP.

Honestly even Binary Domain feels optimally played on a pad. There have been patches that improved the mouselook, but it still feels janky.I think I'm done

I was thinking of doing it.
Far Cry 2 has this listed though:
3rd-party DRM: SecuROM
5 machine activation limit

Haha, I'm the last person you should ask. I'm "competitive" in the IWBTG-scene so I'm obviously going to to be biased :3 We're currently trying to reach 0 death completion. It's a hella lot easier than IWBTG (and also much shorter, for obvious reasons)!
edit: Oh and the game is fucking amazing, but take that with a lot of salt XD

I HATE that in Burnout Paradise you have to press "Enter" after you've filled in your text box. That little leftover from the game's console-centered UI thing really made it annoying to try to remember your password.

I don't play a lot of racing games but D:SF interested me from its gameplay conceit.

Driver would be neat.
finished Tiny & Big, according to steam it took me 3.1 hours, but it was well worth the 6 bucks. Im also missing 30 achievements with barely any description so it seems like there's tons of secrets or shit to do.
The cutting mechanic is really fun but what I liked the most was easily the presentation. The music is great and I loved the art style. Kind of like a mixture between Adventure Time and Mcbess.
Ending barely hints at the possibility of a sequel so:

Wasn't there a 'handling mini-mod' that supposedly addressed the main concerns with this (reduced floaty sensation and input lag etc)?
Been awhile since I've played it though, and that was on a mate's machine - still looking for gifting help from a US GAFfer if possible.
I'm currently playing it KB&M and its good, but I know exactly what you mean. The 'camera' its built for controller movement for sure and the mouse works about 80% of the time, the other 20% are when they force the FOV to be very tight etc...

Burnout is great fun on PC if you can look past all the missing dlc. The console versions are superior due to this fact. No toy cars, no big surf Island, no fricking Knight rider GT Carson (best car in game) and many other special cars. I have all three versions and will say I only play the PC version due to convenience. I rarely fire up the PS3 and sold off my 360.

Is tomm the last day or Sunday is?! Anyone has any clue what the last day sale is going to be?
I get it when I start The Witcher 2, though if I cancel the steam prompt it still loads the game just fine.Anybody have any idea why this shit happens every time I try to play Train Sim 2012?
At the moment of writing this, it's been frozen for about five minutes with little hope of improving.
I lose it everytime at 'tactical shield'.
