The only guy who could do that is offline, and is having some money problems, so i'm not bothering him with this. It's not like i'll die if i don't get bully :p

I can gift you the game if you add me (click my GAF username to see the drop-down menu and then click my homepage link). I can't access Steam itself at the moment but I can accept your request and send you the game via the Steam Community website.
 
Yup. It's banned here in Brazil because they tought that it would make kids want to be bullies.

Added you. thanks for doing this. if there is anything on that price range that you want, just say.
 
Now that's fixed and i have the game running i have to say this game looks gorgeous to me. Granted, i just got into PC gaming so it might just be because i came from consoles to this but goddamn does this look and play smooth as shit. I don't know who was in charge with the PC version but this game run extremely well on my gtx 660, like maxed out 60fps where as GTA 4 ran like shit. Makes me hope that the inevitable GTA 5 port will be a good port

Yeah their new engine seems to run really well on PC (unlike GTA 4). Not sure if GTA 5 has been confirmed for PC (last I heard they very specifically said they had no news or announcements for a PC port). Rockstar seem to have a hate/hate relationship with PC these days what with the bad DRM and extremely bad ports (with MP3 being an exception). Really wish they'd get a decent 3rd party to port Red Dead and any of their future titles.
 
So BLEED supposed to be good?
Bullet hell acrobatic platformer action shooter is right up my alley. But I only have $38 left for the Summer Sale. Well at least the Bleed discount lasts till the 22nd

In a perfect world, RDR would be a GTAV pre-purchase incentive.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Bully is frigging great! I'm already looking forward to playing some of it with a good framerate when my rigg arives. (already waiting since the 25th of may, NVidia's delivery is el terible in The Netherlands, but i'm going ot)

Be sure to use the 30 FPS cap removal!

To be honest, the 11th seems a bit early. 18th is possible but it might be 25th or early August.

4th of July is my current guess. I suspect the other retailers like Amazon, GMG, GamersGate and Nuuvem have inside information about it and/or this is their best guess as well in order to get sales ahead of Steam.

Rockstar will release GTAV on PC. Just a matter of time. They don't want to cannibalize console sales with a PC announcement. They want people to double dip.

It will probably have Social Club online DRM though.

What did you spend $12 on?

Wait for the sale man, starts in a week. That $50 should be able to last you a year.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Ah cool.

Looks like I ran out of options today though, hopefully Bully will return in the summer sale.

Are you sure?

I think a lot of decisions from the other episodes matter
when some of them decide to join you to look for Clem and others refuse

Except that
you always save Clem even if you were to go alone (though I'm not sure off the top of my head if it's possible), the challenges you face simply automatically adjust according to who's with you.

I had a lot of fun for what I played (I kept forgetting about it because I never have Desura open).

Take my money, all of it. This would be incredible

I like where your heads at.

Anyone played warlock? I guy at work mentioned the magic words "master of magic"... what are gafs thoughts?

It's not to bad. I've only played it for a bit, but the impressions were decent enough.

Ever since Valve started doing Midweek Madness, it's ended at 10am when a sale is due to start in lieu of Weekend Deals. While the Summer Sale is definitely not this week, it's most certainly soon:

maybe tomorrow it rains
Using remote install to make sure MK is ready when I get off work is kinda blowing my mind right now. I want to be able to do this on all systems.

So what's the point of the Summer Claim Check if the Summer Crates can just drop regularly?

The new crate is an "appetizer," so I assume (hope) that there will be a more substantial TF2 Summer update and the Claim Check will be for a new series of crate.
