All of youtube seems to be blaming Katt Williams' dissent into madness on the Illuminati... unless that is what we are calling crack now, I don't get it.

Think Max Payne 3 will come back in stock? If not I'll use my coupon on something else

Is there a way on Amazon to check how many promotional credits you have left?

So, very soon after it hit 15.7 gigs downloaded, it said that "ERROR: Not all resources downloaded correctly, please restart the launcher" which I did. It said a previous install was detected and it was recommended to uninstall that before continueing. I chose NOT TO DELETE, and it is now re-downloading all of the files again....all of them.....all....of....them. Goodnight.

Folder it was installed to says 41.1 gigs. Tried the "Repair Broken Data" button in the launchers options and it did absolutely nothing. 2 minutes of scanning files, just to pop right back to re-downloading everything.

Don't know if it was mentioned earlier but looks like the "2K Strategy Super Pack" is also at $9.99 after coupon. Picked that up! Thank you for awesome deal!

Edit: Price fixed, it's back to 19.99 before coupon/14.99 after coupon

Well I'm happy, got Darkness 2 for $2.50 Wish amazon would price match steam on the Total War Grandmaster collection as I'd rather buy it from amazon :P

Yeah, it does that. I think those are the updates.

Interns with a stack of prewritten responses. I'm guessing that the overwhelming majority of the questions that pile up in Tony's inbox could (a) be answered by reading the thread, or (2) contacting Amazon CS. Throw in some canned text to say "Sorry, I can't give you Game X", or "I can't discuss the promos we're working on", and you've probably resolved 99% of his PMs.

Throw a second intern onto thread-monitoring duty, with the same prewritten responses. You'd only have to add a few more stock responses: Amazon doesn't price-match international sites, Amazon doesn't price-match flash sales, the Editor's Choice list will evolve throughout January, and so on.

Personally, I'd rather see Tony have more time to browbeat publishers into awesome sales, than deal with people who can't be bothered to do a minimal level of research into answering their own questions.

Nice find. I didn't want that pack that much, but at that price it's hard to pass it up.

So is Hotline Miami going to drop more or is $2.50 with the coupon the lowest it is going?

Seems unlikely that they will make it free, considering the withdrawal of the $5 Bioshock Dual Pack.

If you wait long enough I bet it'll be in an indie game pack, but for now, I really doubt it'll drop more considering the reviews and sales.

There's a possibility of it being free if another retailer has it for $5. Might get PM'd. Bioshock dual pack got taken down because it was never meant to be free, Tony made a mistake.

Actually, its their own fault. What kind of an installer crashes hours into a 16 GB download? I've tried it three times after blowing away all the data after the 2nd attempt didn't work.

Always on "patching resource database" 4/4.

Wha? I shut my computer off and came back and it picked up right where I left off.

This kept happening to me to, was what my earlier post was referring to. When it crashed it would not retain the download progress before. On my 4th try though, it did retain the info and finished up.

And now I am realizing that my pc is not up to the specs for this game. What I get for impulse buying. Oh well

Play it on DX9, not DX11, set everything to low, and if that doesn't work, start cycling down your resolutions.

Tsw question:

Anyone know how easy you can copy these files to another computer?

Called Amazon cs to see if I could get a refund on 2k Strategy Super Pack since I bought it yesterday and it's $5 cheaper today. He offers a $5 promo credit. Not as good as a refund, but I'm planning to buy something from Amazon anyway. Checked http://www.amazon.com/2K-Strategy-Su...egy+super+pack and it's back to $19.99. Wow, that was fast.

Yeah, I've been crashing constantly in the Secret World trying to run 1920x1200 resolution and DX11. You'd think an i7 and GTX 660 Ti could handle it, but reading on their forums apparently that's a pretty common issue.

I might have to swap down to DX9 and see if it's more stable, but I want my eye candy, darnit!
