This is kind of OT but it deals with gamer stereotypes.
Some intelligent girl scouts set up a cookie stand outside of my local gamestop. Business is booming.

AirBuccaneers did not impress me at all. It has hardly changed since it was a free UT2k4 mod and the novelty has long since worn off. If you haven't played it before it's worth a brief play but I wouldn't pay for it.

Thanks for the recommend on the Stealth Bastard free version. For anyone on the fence it made up my mind, even though the deal is over. Its a puzzle platformer with some neat stealth elements. Not worth the price as is imoho.

Would a "Hello Kitty" flashlight mod for Alan Wake make you feel better?

I would just like to confirm that I'm feeling tingly*!



* - of course it could be the whole "getting kicked in the balls at football"' thing but it's probably Magicka

Don't worry; I read it the same way

Didn't help that in my video preview screencap, he's looking down...

It's a fleshlight flashlight!

Alan Wake has had a very difficult night. Don't judge him.

If no one else is going to say it then I suppose it's up to me.

Agreed, fantastic game. Has the best mechanics (Driving, fighting, shooting, running) of any open world games of its ilk yet. My only complaint is the story crashes pretty hard at the end. No spoilers, but it's disappointing.

I posted here recently about bad Sims 3 performance. Well I tested it out on a totally different system, a laptop made in the last year, and it still is almost identical in performance. Laggy, stuttery, long load times, and micro freezes which sometime turn into full blown freezes. Ghost Hunter Profession is also semi borked. Disappointing.

I must have missed the original post but when I saw yours I decided to try the free version as well. So far it is quite good but I seem to take much longer than most to figure out a level. $10 seems a bit high and I'm not sure I would have bought it at 50% off either so free to try is fine for now.

Edit - Just found the original recommendation from Corpekata so thanks from me too!

Sleeping Dogs is in my top 5 games of last year, maybe even top 3. It's a GTA like game, yes, but it does things right. The world they created and story feels like GTA caliber to me and the combat is great. The game feels like an Asian action movie too at times which is great. Overall just a fantastic game. I can't recommend it enough. Plus it has horrible Asian rap music, what's not to love, lol?

I paid $36 for it, and well I feel it's a $60 level of game.

I've been playing the past couple days with no issues. I'm on an i5 3570k, 16gb ram, gtx 650 ti. I actually never had issues running it on my old system either. Core 2 quad q8200, 6gb ram, radeon hd 4650. Couldn't tell you what it may be.

I had that same problem with a couple systems, doubled the memory in them and it runs great now.
