@ Motoki & @ Idiotekque Why don't you two just get a hotel room and get it over with? Just keep it out of the thread, it's gotten beyond stupid. Please for all that is good and holy, just shut up, the both of you, or take to to PM....or between the sheets.

If makeup sex is the best kind of sex, you two should have a damn good time.

EDIT: Never mind, I started playing the video after posting this. You seriously posted a dubstep laugh mix instead of a brief, five second laugh? That's not funny at all. God, I hate you even more...

And to the parties having their bitch session out in the open, noone cares, take it to Private Messaging. I don't care if there is even a Steam related issue at the heart of it, this is completely unnecessary, and a waste of the thread. And that's BEFORE people start quoting it just to embed a youtube video that offers even less to this thread. Get it together or I'll send it to CheapyD showing why he needs mods on certain threads, and show him exactly WHY he has to keep making new versions of this thread.

I'm sorry for giving people a reason to spam. >_>

The purpose of that long post was to end the hostilities. I don't know.

Time to play that wonderful game where I go to bed and refresh in the morning to see how many pages shorter the thread has become. Good night, CAGs.

It's 9.05am and I'm checking the forums to avoid doing work.

CAG Steam Thread: EU edition, available now! (includes Steam exclusive "cup of tea" item for TF2)

Sorry, I missed your question earlier, the review on Destructroid mentioned some irritating edge of track issues (which aren't uncommon complaints in racers).

Oh that's related to Xenosaga (PS2 backlog)

I'm really not sure today either. On my MAME-driven retro-kick a decade back, I didn't wind up playing it. 1942 and sequels, check. Ghosts n Goblins, check, Golden Axe, check. And others...

I have not played Victoria II yet, but I have read plenty of Paradox threads. Victoria II is more often uttered in the same breath as HoI3, some of the deeper but steeper learning curve Paradox games. CK2 is widely heralded as the easiest Paradox gamer to get into (I have it and I agree based on my CK2 & EUIII experience). Paradox Grand Strategy Games tend to be regarded as steep learning curve. Civ V (backlog) tends to be regarded as a watered down Civ, but easier to get into. (Please forgive me if that sounded insulting in any way; I did not intend it to sound so.)

Sssh. Don't give them ideas. I can just see my e-board games "losing" pieces over time with available replacement parts DLC.

It feels very much like Skyrim, just set in The Lord of the Rings universe. I didn't have long to play as I have to work early tomorrow, but we're excited about tomorrow. He's playing the Dwarf, Farin, who has this ability to see when walls are weak and may conceal a secret. We already found sweet loot behind one wall, and we saved right at another. Cliffhanger!

Ooh thanks. I'm glad I bought it then. Interesting that you also made the Skyrim comparison.

Originally Posted by Idiotekque Yeah, FFT was certainly not a forgiving game.

I'm still not sure how I got through some of them; that game was satisfying to finish though (really impressive final battle, in my opinion). What! I would have much rather stared at pixel Claire all night on my first playthrough... Damn.

I have a long (and esoteric) history of save file abuse. Might it help to yank your memory card to prevent an undesired save in this case?

Great, now the elevator scene is even *more* disturbing.

hello everyone, i dont know if this is the right place to post this, if not just ignore it. I just saw that I have a 75% off coupon for Portal 2 and I already have the game so pm me if you want the coupon.

Originally Posted by atreyuevr Really glad you're enjoying yourself. The game is an absolute blast for me so far, I'm loving every minute of it.

What character did you decide to go with?

What's really cool in co-op is that every time we open a treasure chest, we each get totally different loot! He doesn't see my loot, and I don't see his. We've been trading items back and forth so far. If Eradan is lucky, we'll throw him a bone at some point.

Also, I'm an elf. I enjoy playing as a female when I'm given the chance. At first I was a little disappointed that you couldn't customize your character, but it turns out you can totally change little things about them at the place where you start your game! My elf looked really depressed, so I picked a different face for her.

Now that's awesome. Looking forward to checking that out.

I then scan each sheet and file folder back into the computer and then keep them in a file cabinet near my desk.

Interesting, I've be considering taking the next step and getting a physical filing system going but I just don't have the time. Could you recommend the best course of action to get to this level of such sophistication of organizing? Would it be best to go the route of a hermit and focus solely on my collection's organization, no longer associated with the outside world...or just take a whole bunch of speed and go crazy nuts with everything? I have procured the proper materials and cabinets for this mission; I will await your instruction of how to best handle it.

Originally Posted by asheskitty Hmm, this sorting does bring up an interesting question. How do you sort physical games? Computer games are little harder due to the large variation in package size, but console games benefit from the nice standardized size (barring CE). My PS2 and DVD-case sized computer games are sorted on bookcase shelves. Like things get lumped together, e.g. racing, or multititle series, but the rest are a little dynamic with recently played titles at one end and untouched backlog at the other.

Well it used to be EVERYTHING would go on bookshelves, and when I ran out of space I would buy more bookshelves. But now I just have no mid-level wall space left and so I've forced myself to box up all non-current gen games. Everything is organized by system and alphabetically...DON'T get my started on multi-title series games, does that cause me mental distress to figure out their grouping

Originally Posted by plft Thrown on the shelf with no sorting or standards. Multiple rows in front of each other, jewel cases mixed with large boxes, games sitting on top of the rest. It's chaos.

It's terrifying to know that you are most probably serious... Some of my friends are like that and they ing hate me; everytime I come to visit I ing organizing EVERYTHING for them. They love once they can finally find everything again but HATE that I always do it.

I'm serious solely due to not having enough room on my shelf for my CDs, HDDVDs/BDs, and games. Since I have most of the games a second time on steam that's taken a backseat and has less room.

I hope Borderlands 2 takes a cue from the LotR:WitN "loot for everyone" system. It's one of my major complaints about B'lands.

You can customize your character anywhere there's a mirror. I've already come across one in Bree and at the Ranger camp in Sarn Ford. Just in case you get bored.

I felt the exact same way. The trailers and previous press got me pretty interested in the game, but once I got to play the beta I walked away just feeling meh about the whole thing. I'm not sure if I'm just dumb or if it isn't there, but I didn't see any tutorial or instructions. Jumping into the game and trying to figure out what I'm doing while being stabbed from 3+ directions wasn't all that fun.

I remember making my nephew cry with heavy bombers. Ah, good times.

Any idea when CS: Global Operations is available for download?

It says on the store page. Normal new game time it appears.

Not soon enough. IMHO.

So I'm guessing I'm a bad person because I enjoy it?

Too much harmony is creepy, its nice to see that not everyone gets along from time to time.

Well except everyone gets along with me, or they're a bad person and quite possibly don't like kittens or ice cream either.
