Ahh. I guess people were quicker to the call for the leftover games. Oh well, I still have the sense of satisfaction over what I made.

I have an unused Bastion code up for grabs. First one to make me laugh out loud wins it!

I laughed at this longer than I should have.

Just ragequitted from Max Payne 3. Damn it, why does EVERY modern game think it's a good idea to have a section where you'll die over 50 times, until you either: A) win by sheer luck, B) discover the one and only way the developers decided it should be played, or C) you quit the game and never come back? It even makes you never want to replay the game, just to avoid that part.

I'm seriously starting to regret passing up Gal Civ II last night. I just checked its sale history, and apparently of all the 8 months it's been on Steam, it's never been on sale at $5 until last night. Of all the times I have self control, it's for a game that's never on sale.

Shoot, mine was crappy anyway -

How could I express,
Long nights, joy, damage so far,
Return to Rapture.

Thanks again Dacvak! Awesome Haikus everyone.

Has anyone else had their anti-virus protection software detect Dead Island's exe file as malware? :S I just started it up for the first time after installing and Avast closed it and told me it was a suspicious file...?

I hope to hell Arma goes on sale for at least 50%. It's all I have left in my budget and it's all I really want. The game looks pretty damned sweet. Here's hoping! If not, im sure I can find something on the last day.

OK well I don't want to derail Dacvak's Haiku game, maybe we should wait for mine? Dacvak what do you say?

Also RULES: I can only correct one of your mistakes, if you named more than one game that's not in the sketch, I will just say one that it isn't but also mention how many you have wrong, without saying which ones, except for one.

I find this to be more fair for everybody, otherwise it's helping one person too much.

Also you don't need to explain to me what is what, just listing the games is enough, ( I drew the damn thing, I know LOL) but if you feel like telling what item represents what game, it's totally cool.

For those having trouble with Driver:SF freezing

Apparently people on the Steam forums are saying that this is due to Ubi's server being overloaded, users are reporting that the game runs fine in offline mode or if you block the game by creating a firewall exception.

I'm going to try it now and I'll report back.

I pulled out my ethernet cable and low and behold the freezing goes away >_>. It's a shitty solution for a problem that really shouldn't even exist but it's a solution nonetheless.

Your sketches are bloody great, Johnny Cage - seriously, really, really clever and beautifully done. That you then use said sketch to provide an entertaining challenge (and ultimately a gift to someone!) is truly special stuff.

Bless you, GAF. Great place to be.

Thanks! :) I honestly don't know the franchise at all so couldn't get deep like that( well, heck never played Bioshock lol).
I literally looked at the steam page and made it LOL

I was browsing the Steam forums for it and apparently there's an option within Uplay to play in offline mode after it's been activated once, so maybe that'll fix it.

Haha. That shit was hard! I was always too fast and went over. First time playing the game, btw. Played it for about 20 min. before playing with you guys. And I didn't realize I had to read at the bottom to see what to do :p

Sorry for the suckage, but it was fun!

Avast has been doing that to me for all my newly installed games since it upgraded versions.

I just created an outbound rule in Windows firewall that blocks Driver.exe from reaching the Ubisoft server. You still microstutters because the code is still trying to connect but it's better the full on 2-5 second freezes from before.

And yea I'll try offline mode too thanks.

get plain human rev and missing link later if you like it.

this wont be a popular thing to say but i think the original game is just too dated for me, now. and yeah... lets keep IW in that drawer with dmc2, disciples 3, suikoden 4, etc.

I know that feel, my one letter differentiated doppleganger. I too am kicking myself for the very same reason.

Thank you. I just realized all that info was on the page (didn't scroll down)... I was clicking on the box that had it listed and thought it would take me to another page with info. So thanks again for helping a Steam noob..
