Somebody doesn't like hunting deep for poop.

But does it activate on Desura?

My excitement about Bioshock Infinite makes me want to jump on one of the BSI/TR bundles on ebay for 60 dollars but I know if I get on there in a month they'll be going for 30-40. Cheap Ass vs Gamer again

But does it melt in your mouth, not in your hand?

Wouldn't both do both if you waited long enough?

For $60, you'll still be even if they're going for $30 each. You can actually get one for below $50 if you're fast, persistent and lucky... I figure getting them for 60%+ off is low enough that even if they drop in price, they're not likely to go under 66% any time soon.

I just need to play them right away so I feel like I got in ahead of the curve

Weird, today's steam updates are making Steam forget. It thinks I don't have Giana installed (played it last night, files are still there), and a 60+ other games. I said fine install Giana, and it said woah, trippy, there are files here, so it light up another and took it's damn time to cheak all my Giana files it forgot about. I hope I don't have to do this for the other 60_ games...

I would watch this. Make it happen.

the term "activates on" is another way of saying DRM. i know i know. but it feels SO good. gotta hand it to gog for the TOTALLY drm free stuff. I love taking my files and installing them here, there, everywhere. laptop desktop. etc. its great. counterpoint, i suppose you can do this with steam if you have an internet connection.

Hate > Knowledge

Desura isn't DRM.

^_^ I was thinking of saying that (and some other stuff), but it really felt like a case of:

Less > More

Not really Steam related but I'm gonna ask you nice people anway...

Do Bioware points EVER go on sale? I'd really like to pick up some Mass Effect 3 DLC but From Ashes and Leviathan together would be $15 and that is more than I paid for the base game.

Google search led me to believe that Bioware points sometimes go on sale but they seem pretty rare. Any idea how I'd find out when it happens? Would it get exposure on CAG?

You're going to be waiting a while. Since the Bioware points deal on Origin back in late 2011 (IIRC) they haven't been on sale. It's extremely irritating.

However, if Hell freezes over and Bioware points DO go on sale, you'll definitely hear about it here.

That is...pretty darn cool.

Kind of related to your post but I reinstalled windows on a ssd and my games are still on my old hard drive. Steam recognizes 60% of the games when I add the location to my library but all of files for all of my games are there. If I use steam mover then it works but if I move it back to the secondary drive, steam doesn't realize that the files are there. :shrug:

Though its not Steam-related, I have to agree that it's great to have an accessible version of System Shock 2 available. The game went for horribly high prices not too long ago, and it didn't even work properly on modern OS's. (Many Windows 95/98 games come to mind.) So, indeed, GOG deserves their kudos.

Between Brutal Legend reaching the PC and System Shock 2 finally getting proper support, it's a good time to be a computer game enthusiast.

If your res' isn't listed, you could just open cam.cfg file (in your System Shock 2 folder) and just literally change the resolution to what you wanted.

See here:
http://www.gog.com/forum/system_shoc...n_patch/post10

Just open cam.cfg in your editor of choice and change the resolution under the game_screen_size variable as such: game_screen_size 1920 1200

System Shock 2 is one of the few games that will be added as a non-steam product on my Steam account.
