So the only difference being that you don't receive full credit for the price on steam?

Thanks!

I thought it was pretty fun back in 2001 or so. I recall having a roommate that tried to play it with a gamepad and moaned so much about what a difficult game it was that I ran back through it on hard out of spite.

Well, specifically in S1, when the plot followed the first book for the most part, they did things like go to that shipping container that was a major event in the book and just full of bananas in the show. Little fake-outs for the readers to enjoy.

Well ended up buying myself Quake 4 and Commander Keen. After going to a very small comic con and not spending much, I decided to pick those two up. I just hope Commander Keen is not going to be a bitch to get working.

Yeah, I think it's like 20% of the value of the game.

Now that they've done that, they should probably restore the value of the Ironclads Collection. The steam price of the collection is $50. But since it was in one of the recent Indie Gala bundles and you could get the key for $1, people were spamming giveaways for that collection to up their contributor value. So in a reaction to that, they gimped the contributor value of the collection to reflect the $1 cost that people were actually paying for the key. But now that they've gimped the contributor values of all bundle games to 20%, they should probably restore the Ironclads Collection to it's $50 base price (which would work out to $10 contributor value).

Sidenote: The worst is when the screen pulls me up to the action screen to inform me it's raining then I have to click the match screen again. Don't waste my time to tell me it's raining- I have eyes!

The horizontal only movement part doesn't bother me. At first I was expecting vertical movement but once I got used to the mechanics I was fine with it.

I do agree though that it get significantly harder as you progress. I will confess that sometimes I just go nuts and spam moving blocks around randomly at a frenzied pace. And you know what? It works!

It's a lame cheesey thing to do but gotta do what ya gotta do what do sometimes.

Quakecon weekend has certainly brought back some memories of my early game playing days but I finally settled on Commander Keen and ROCW as two highly recommended games that I have never played.

I went with the 360 version for FoC mainly because I imagine the console's online communities will be more active. Another reason was I got for console was Newegg's $10 off any pre-order deal which ends today. The PC version is MSRP everywhere I've seen.

That's exactly what resort to once I lose my chain. Random block movements seems to work great. Also, I think if you just sit there for a bit,
blocks disappear and generally create a nice chain reaction.

I just downloaded CK and fired up a session. While it was strange to see a game start up in DOS mode everything seemed to work fine. I'm using a laptop with HD3000 integrated graphics and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I did get a "not optimal resolution" message after exit but nothing actually changed from my settings before starting the game.

Hard to keep up with thread especially since just moved and had no internet for 3 days.

BTW is anyone else steam acting weird? I can access everything from client and browser except the community page. Can't see my groups or anything else their.

Wondering if its a glitch or new internet. (BTW FIOS is beast) If anyone had a similar problem help appreciated

Broke down and bought the Quake pack, Appearntly there is even patches for Quake for the steam version. In these two forums on steam.

Quake 1

Quake 2
http://forums.steampowered.com/forum....php?t=1756937

I am excited as Quake was like my second FPS I remember playing it all the time in secret and having to hide the files and game path under a different name had to do the same thing with Diablo. At least I'll know the tricks when my kid tries to do the same thing

i didnt win the toki tori giveaway... so i just decided to just buy it today. seems like a pretty decent game for $1.24!

I'm having the same issue. But it just came back up.

It was acting weird for a few minutes a about 10 minutes ago but now my community tab is working using the website and the client. My guess is it is just a glitch but you might wanna check it.

Thanks guys. Up now for me 2. Just found it weird because it was hasn't worked for me in 3 days.

Alright Quake 4 is tempting me and my hold on my wallet is weak. How is the game if I was only going to be looking to play single player.

Aw, hope you didn't drop $100 on it I've been offering discounts over in the Group Buy thread since I preordered Dishonored.

I got 4 levels into Quake 1 before boredom quit. The classic ID shooters just don't have what I'm after in a game.

Also its finally nice to see Coconut queen dethroned for play time in the BGCQ group.

Oops I meant the Quake pack, I should edit that. Also that's really great of you too

Ya there really simple games, but also what is kind of nice too. Can just launch play for 10 minutes or so and then quit. Don't need to have like a committed block of time to play them. I'm surprised they havn't found a way to put them on like tablet's because of this.
