Is that why Spiral Knights crashed for me at the login screen?

And I'm using Tomato firmware.

Typical Sega product. Yeah, let's not worry if it's incompatible with the most popular router ever sold. Brilliant.

so did I fuck up by accidentally leaving New Vegas on Auto Update? It just downloaded the new patch and now my NVSE version does not support the game anymore, making some of my mods not work. How long does it usually take for them to roll out a new version of NVSE for a patch?

I know. I used to enjoy them, but with a backlog that's over 100 games, I need to be honest with myself. I'll have to boot it back up if the mission is right there though.

My backlog is 236 and growing. I'd suggest ignoring your backlog and enjoy your games.

As much as I'd love another chance to dump on Sega, this is all on Three Rings.

I already have everything I want today except for The Sims and Jamestown. Sims pack is way too much, but has anyone tried Jamestown? I've only looked at the trailer in Steam, but it looks cool.

I fired it up to see if it worked, turns out it worked - for 2 hours straight before I turned it off.

Really fun and addictive, especially the challenge levels where you try to survive for a set amount of time.

And I never play bullet hells or shmups, generally.

I do. I'm just dropping the pretense that come of these are ever going to be played and they're getting reorganized into the void.

Sega's listed as the publisher, aren't they? If they're still paying any of the bills, they need to put a foot up Three Ring's ass then.

That's one of the craziest things I've heard lately. How do you make a FTP game that's incompatible with the most popular router in history? It's mind-blowing it wouldn't be addressed. Somebody hates money.

First the servers have to stop being stressed to death so I can download at faster than 40kb/s.

Fuck!

We bought a bunch of stuff today.

Beat Hazard (before the new sale went up) x2,

Killing Floor x2 (want more tix and DLC!)

We got Rush as well, that game looks awesome!

We got achievements for: Toki Tori, working on Spiral Knights and Killing Floor soon.

A warning for those with ATi cards and buying King's Bounty: its got an incredibly annoying bug in which the screen flickers relentlessly at times and others is fine. There are (very) temporary workarounds but I wish I knew about this before buying it :/

Wow, I'm glad I tried the King's Bounty Demo.
- No proper widescreen support
- The numbers that pop up seem to be random
- The first battle was worse than Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Here's hoping for Saints Row 2.

If it's a low enough price I'll look past the poor optimisation (according to some).

Would Beat Hazard run on my pos laptop you guys think? Its a 2 ghz processor with 3 gigs of ram, that can barely run minecraft. And when I say barely, I mean I pan the camera and my frame rate drops to 5 fps

Has anyone been able to redeem their tix for the Guardians of Graxia DLC? I've tried since the 2nd day and there is always an error, but other content I can grab just fine. :(

Only Far Cry 2 for me today. I finished GTAIV on the 360 already, being on the PC isn't enough to make me bite.

Oh that pissed me off but I got it the next day. You need to do similar jumps in world 2 and 3 anyway.

Is there anyway to play singleplayer (or multiplayer) Steam games without the downloads pausing? I want to start playing Stalker: SoC, but I want GTA to continue to download.

Still holding out for a Terraria daily deal. I know it is worth way more than $10 but I am just trying to follow rule 1 of a steam sale...

Killing Floor: I'm not sure, but you might have to host a local server. the KF one might be easier online though to get through the first few waves, you can ask others to spare the scrake so you can get the achievement

Cool. I just got an achievement in Killing Floor playing single player btw, so I think my strategy works. Too bad I died in less than a minute :/

Alt-Tab out and resume the download, then switch back to your game.

okay guys i'm tired of playing rush, can anyone help me beat the level?

You can probably Youtube a solution, but just to give you a hint.

You can probably figure out that the red cube needs to go in the "top" teleporter and the orange cube needs to go in the "left" teleporter, right?

So you've probably figured out that in order to make that happen, you need to put one of the rotating green pieces between the two teleports and the red cube needs to get to that area first. Rotating green pieces make the first cube that hits them turn right and the second turn left.

Since there's no way to delay the orange cube, you need to speed up the red cube. You try speeding it up, and it still doesn't get there fast enough. So you need to speed it up again by making it go over the speed up tile twice. To do this, you need to make a circuit of arrows. But since the red cube needs to leave the circuit, part of the circuit needs to be a rotating green piece. If you want a further hint, I'll tell you to put the red speed up piece
in the middle of the sort of 3x3 "entrance" area on the red cube's side.

Once you've got the circuit assembled, the red cube will make it to its teleporter and the orange to its. Then it's just a matter of using your remaining symbols to simply direct them to the end goals.

It should be easy to get given that the weapon you have to kill it with is the long range weapon.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
By the time I'm done downloading GTA4, it should be mod compatible :p


Tempted to get Atom Zombie Smasher and Jamestown. Tempted to just get the whole Square pack rather than pay $7.50 for Batman. That can't be healthy.

Is Jamestown fun for people have always been crap at shooters and probably always will be crap at shooters?

edit: oh yeah! What should I spend my tickets on? I hardly have any of the games on there and I already have the TF2 glasses.

Freedom Force will probably never be a daily deal, but the game looks so fun. I want it now... At $5.01 I think I should just take the plunge. It's really the only thing I want.

Pretty sure it was 5$ back when it was last on sale a year and a half (or so) ago.

I need some help with the Spiral Knights ticket, please!

Someone told me I need 3000 crowns to buy the Firecracker Bomb, but I have no idea how/where to buy it. I have the 3000 crowns. Could someone tell me where to get the bomb?

edit: I'm in 'Haven' now, or whatever it's called where you start out.
