I'm not even sure what sort of key I could hide in Sunset Boulevard. The Graveyard maybe?

It's too bad The Movies isn't on Steam.

Agree with this. It's a good game with a nice soundtrack, but you'd better bring a controller or stay home.

I suspected that, and I've got to give it another shot that way. I logged an hour and haven't gone back. Part of it was M/KB, part of it was planning to play it with the strategy guide in my lap and getting all the collectibles in one go, and part of it was playing it right after L.A. Noire.

M/KB controls bad in Alan Wake? Not for me. I found it way easier than when I played it with controller on xbox. I thought the aiming/looking felt just right and had no issues with it in combat.

Hey bros- quick question for you all: ArmA II: CO a go on Steam?

GameFly has it on sale for $15 plus the coupon to bring it down to $12. I'm confused about the Steam activation for that game. The Steam CD key page says that digital copies only redeem on Steam but as I recall both Amazon and GMG copies would not activate? Anyone know what the deal would be for GF?

Ummm, most copies of ARMA II do NOT activate on Steam and I checked the page on Gamefly and saw no mention of Steam on it or on their version of the helicopter game from the same company. So I would probably bet that it does not activate on Steam. I got mine from Amazon and it does not activate on Steam either.

The idea of needing to sign something like that is stupid in my opinion. Not a big deal either way as I haven't participated in anything really. At least not enough for me to warrant wanting to get back in. As for the pop-up stuff, what you're seeing is calendar scheduled stuff that was scheduled before you were booted.

Having some other regulars find themselves booted... I lose BGCQ and the CAG group in the same week. I'm.... well... oh well. Moving on.

Originally Posted by Motoki Well I was stepping over this subject but since you asked, I would leave (again) because people were dragging CAG dirty laundry over there and there was no one who was stepping in to say 'Hey, let's not get into fights with each other here okay?

For a while there it was turning into a place to bitch about CAG and why CAG sucks and who sucks on CAG and who was flipping games for too much money and ripping people off, or is a terrible person because they got into an argument with someone a long ass time ago and are trying to let it go and get the hell over it but people just won't let it die etc. Anyway, if they're all Care Bears now since I left and a certain other person went all Norma Desmond ready for her closeup and made a grand exit, then I'm happy for them. No seriously, I am. It was a real negative place for a while and it's good that they were able to get past that. For those who got booted, eh, it's up to you if you want to reapply or just find people to game with elsewhere. It's not like there's any shortage of people to play games with if you really want to look for that.

RE: All of this
What I decided to do is reboot in light of the bad crap that was going on. So we put in place the civility rule. Yeah, it's kind of hokey to sign it, but it was more for a way to see who wanted to stay in the group. If you missed the announcements because you were busy or whatever, it's no big deal. Let me know if you want back in. I had to set a time frame so I could actually do something. We really are making an effort to be a worthwhile group, and it's been a ton of fun the last month. So please, let me know if you want to be in and want to participate in what we're doing.

This.

Instead of just complaining, people decided to do something. It's nice to see.

I'm not sure what BGBQ stands for, and I'm not sure if its a prerequisite, but if its a group of people who like to talk about and play video games coop I think I'd like to join up. Should i just pm you spoony for details?

WTF is this Shaq-Fu?

Anyone know what's up with the gem DLC for SFxT? Seems to me like you can buy your way to an unfair advantage, hoping I'm wrong on this...

I don't know, but I want it anyway.

Really OT so I would prefer PMs. Has anyone dealt with apple support to reset security questions? Thanks

The Verge - "Finally, a video game as artistic and hard to understand as French films."


Is that even a compliment?

They do give an unfair advantage in the fact that you have a lot more flexibility in your gem builds and some of the DLC gems are also a bit too strong. But you can do okay without the DLC gems. The gem system was one of the biggest problems with the game in my opinion.

I'm not sure how the 2013 patch for the game affected the balance though, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

It's from the same developers of The Path, so everyone knows what's going to happen when you avatar enters that manor, right...?



Nonetheless, I'm sure I'll see it popping up in many CAG buddies wishlists...

Over/under how many days it takes for Motoki to purchase this game. I'm gonna go with two.
