That reminds me, I downgraded my Nvidia drivers based upon last suggestion and Brutal Legend still runs like crap. All my settings were on low too.

 

[RionaaM]

The second half of the game is a rushjob, though, just a word of warning.

That's fine. If the entirety of the first half is as good as it seems, then it'll still be a fantastic game despite the second half not holding up.

 

[JaseC]

I wish Brutal Legend PC had an auto-win button for the RTS battles. They're such a drag.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I mostly play FPS games to pub around but man, AWP made CS pubbing unplayable when servers didn't disable it. It just became a game of everyone getting it and bodyshotting from across the map. You have this game that has a great learning curve with the weaponry that requires learning them, practicing them, and precision but then it gets disregarded by a dummy-proof one shot killing cross-mapping cannon.

 

[JaseC]

The awp is fantastic; it's the semi-auto sniper that can be annoying.

There are some dutch words in there aswell.
It's weird, and I love it. Should definitely start playing it soon. Laptop can't handle it, but my (first real, self chosen parts) ordered rigg should...
....just....one....more...week...!

Waiting is hard.

I kind of wish at least one Steam level you could level up to would allow you to make your own profile background.

I think they're trying to avoid letting people put up lewd backgrounds.

Seeing as someone just posted an ASCII penis on my profile comments today that's probably not a bad idea.

 

[Neki]

Anyone have impressions of Scribblenauts Unlimited? Was thinking of getting it for the girlfriend.

 

[feel]

Awp can get annoying but it has a slow rate of fire and it's easy to screw the guy with a decent smoke grenade. Whoever approved that autosniper can go fuck himself though.

Just checking your profile for... research purposes, but I cannot find aforementioned ASCII art.

Maybe he deleted it.

People already put up lewd/nsfw avatars. Profile backgrounds aren't really that different.

It's cute! And uhh...that's it.

 

[JaseC]

If badge crafting would get me closer to setting a Saoirse Ronan collage as my profile background, I would spend so much money on cards.

 

[zkylon]

can't valve like license nintendo's penis detecting tech to allow us to have custom backgrounds

I imagine the background economy will tank if they add that tho

Profile backgrounds are higher-definition lewdness, but your point stands.

It's super easy. Basically almost everything you make can solve the puzzles...

I deleted it because I didn't know the person. But it was a huge penis.

I wish people would post ascii penises on my profile

For some reason Steam keeps ditching my non-Steam games and/or my custom images for them. Is there anyway to prevent that from happening? I just booted it up and lo and behold, my games actually remained there for once, but some of the images were gone. D:

For images, make sure you exit Steam before shutting down the computer.
For shortcuts, backup shortcuts.vdf from userdata dir in Steam folder

I also have that problem when I log in on my laptop and back on my PC. Those custom games weren't added on my laptop so maybe that's why they are removed.

You can restore your non-Steam shortcuts by backing up Steam\userdata\[account id]\config\shortcuts.vdf -- just copy/paste it and rename the copy to, for example, shortcuts.vdf.BACKUP. In the same folder, you'll also find a "grid" sub-folder containing your custom images, which you can just add to a zip file and extract when necessary (the folder, that is, not the individual images).

Done, thanks.

Right as I backed everything up I realized Mass Effect 2 had gotten ditched from the list again, so I'll have to redo it.

That might be it. I think Steam is also set to auto-login on my laptop, which I use to play older games (like Alpha Centauri and Fallout).

The person or the post?

 

[Atruvius]

Yay, got my first booster pack today, for half life 2. Sold it for 1.51€. Summer Sale here I come!

 

[deejay]

Those who think the Steam Summer Seal is coming next week... keep in mind Mortal Kombat is releasing at the begin of July

It's fun for about 3 hours. Then it gets really tedious.

 

[Parallax]

can someone tell me how long steam takes to get back to someone with their tickets?

I had a problem last week with a game I bought which wouldn't appear in my inventory as a gift. Took Steam Support about a day to respond.

 

[JaseC]

I am just three sections away from completing Far Cry 3's map in terms of collectibles and side-quests (I'm saving the DLC missions for after the main campaign). My desire to push through the game dropped dramatically after I maxed out my character not long after reaching the second island; just about everything you do rewards you with XP, but from the moment you no longer have any perks/upgrades to work towards it's blindingly obvious just how shallow the game's design is.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I'm betting Steam sales is starting the first week of July.

 

[Jobbs]

I must say, I miss the "we buy 99 cent games and complain about them" line in the topic. For months I'd smile every single time I saw it.

The Monkey Business dlc missions are some of the best thankfully. FC3 is the poster child for all of UbiSofts horrible design decisions and directions.

Surprised they allow custom avatars to start with.


Someone once added me with a picture that showed Bart Simpson having intercourse with Marge, he still has that picture now (added him to my block list)

I think AssCreed 3 would take issue with that.

Progression really is Far Cry 3's biggest problem since there is no other reason to keep playing other than filling bars, given that the campaign is absolutely awful and an area where the outpost is cleared is boring. Once those bars are filled, and most of them are by the time you're 1/3 of the way through the first of two islands, there's no reason whatsoever to keep playing.

Why this was such a well received game is beyond me.

Played until I got the wingsuit. Then I went on with my life.

 

[Stallion Free]

I'm still waiting for Far Cry 3 to hit the right price.

Also, how are the co-op missions?

 

[Dr Dogg]

I think AssCreed 3 would take issue with that.

Ah birds of a feather. I really want to get psyched for Watch_Dogs but at the back of my mind I got the feeling there will be high points, a pointless economy and crafting mechanic and checklists galore.

Ubi Montreal has said that the game won't be bogged down with fluff content, but who knows how true that is.

For all the talk of how annoying Far Cry 2's quickly-respawning guard posts are, at least they give you something to do!

I just had a double take looking at the new releases on Steam.

I thought I saw Manpuncher. Giddy with glee I thought Rockstar had finally caved in to the Consolevania boys requests.

Sadly it's some rubbish called Fist Puncher.

They played it on Unprofessional Friday at Giantbomb. Looked aight.

I've given up on RAGE

Game is perfectly playable on AMD cards right now but there are some weird graphical glitches and the awful, awful textures coupled with the pop in just killed it for me.

Posting for Sub.

Thanks to this thread, got the nearly out-of-date NBA2K13 for $6. I hate it.

Atleast it's easter eggs are pretty awesome.
