If you have a collection instinct and don't have too much in your Steam library yet I recommend disconnecting from the internet during the winter sale. Have you heard of the publisher packs?

If you liked the old MK games then you'll probably love the latest one.
I loved the old MK's - MK1, 2, 3, UMK3, and even MK4.

Black and White very good game. I have not played the second yet though.
Black & White 1 was pretty good...for the first 3 islands. After that, got BORED.
Black & White 2 was also pretty good.
Never finished either of them, actually.

It's a movie that came out back in 1979. I saw it first because cause HBO liked to play it late at night and I'm a night owl. Definitely, a fun and entertaining cult film.
CAN YOU DIG IT!?!?!?!?
I was born in 1980, hehe.
I definitely know what it is, I just don't think I've seen it, for some reason...

If you're thinking about the Id pack, you might want to consider waiting for Quakecon. They usually have the complete Id/Bethesda package going for a nice deal, and in the past, they've added an additional discount to people who pre-order an upcoming game (which you can take advantage of if someone else is pre-ordering).

Keep in mind that's in August (I think) so it's going to be a long wait until the next Quake Con pack. But during the Winter sale there will most definitely be publisher packs.

What's it to you pal? =p This is a game *buying/collecting* thread, not a game playing thread. For some CAGs in this thread only a good Steam sale makes the shakes go away.

IIRC, I used DirectInput (RumblePad 2 / F510). It predates the 360, so I'm suprised it works with the 360 controller. At least one of the 360 axes is flipped relative to DirectInput.

I think I threw it up on the NVidia Panel, if I recall - and it was fine.
Hot Pursuit 2010 was pretty good, actually.

I liked NFS: The Run, but after doing "The Run", which takes like anywhere from 3-8 hours, it really doesn't have much staying power. You, more or less, will play to basically top your friends' score on AutoLog.
I didn't try the MP, though.
I had more problems w/ the unlocked FPS than w/ it locked at 30 FPS - b/c I'd have all kinds of CTD's, game freezes, and other madness. At 30 FPS, no problems what-so-ever.

I ain't played NFS: MW 2012 yet.

Driver: SF was good....but, I just kind of stuck on a certain mission. I had most of the other missions done...and this one was still looming. And once that happens and it bugs me for a while, I will go away from the game...likely, for a while.
OMG, play GRID, it has a wonderful physics engine for an arcade racer, and the tracks are great. I have ~40 hours on Dirt 2 but only few hours in Dirt 3 and less in Dirt 1. Dirt 1 seems closer to Dirt 2 than Dirt 3. They all are iterations of the same engine though. Dirt 3 adds gimmicky stunt showboating events (somewhere between NFS:U2 and Mad Racers) that really aren't bad and do allow some unique play but fall outside expectations of a Rally oriented racer -- and I haven't run across any mechanic to buy and hoard my own cars, just racing freelance atm -- I like virtual car hoarding. Dirt 3 also has it's own take of NFS:U2 downhill drift events -- but without drift-linking.

I really loved NFS:HP 2010. The Run was enjoyable, but the poor car switching mechanic annoyed me. 30 FPS wasn't too bad -- I played pre-uncap. But I agree it has poor replayabilty -- I've tried. I occasionally fire up GRID, Dirt 2, or NFS:HP for a quick racing fix.

NFS:MW 2012, I'm waiting for a few patches and a deep sale, maybe not in that order. I'm expecting I'll pick it up right around Xmas.

Driver:SF wasn't what I was expecting, but it was enjoyable. The only irritation that comes to mind was the defend-the-sitting-duck-armored-van missions. Driver: SF is wide open to abuse of shift-ramming any cars that are ahead of you.

Stop stop STOP the thread.

There's people here who haven't seen The Warriors. The thread can't continue until they have done.

Go get yourself a beer, get comfortable, and get ready for one hell of a good film. Despite being (thirty?) years old, it holds up very well, and the soundtrack kicks arse.

Do it.

It is still one of my favorite movies. I just remember seeing the baseball furies and how cool they looked. I even perfected that flip he does with the bat right before the fight with Ajax started.

Tell me this isn't a great fight scene even though 30+years old!




BTW if anyone wants to join my group for political machine 2012 for $2.50

It's not advertised on the site just yet.

Seeing so many great FPS is bittersweet. To this day, they give me a bit of motion sickness. Only games that haven't done that are Quake II and all the Halo games. I can't figure out why those games have no effect on me. Borderlands 2 looks so fun. But 20 mins in I'd know I'd start getting sweaty.

There are many ways to avoid this. I used to be the same way, and a very small number of games still bother me, but for the most part I am good now. Things like disabling headbob, changing FoV/refresh, sitting further back from the screen, etc can all help.
