Steam --> Settings --> Friends Tab ---> Uncheck "Display a notification" under "When friend joins game"

Bless you. You just might have saved my sanity.

Mine too... pissed me off to no end. Considered deleting my friends lists but I met some cool people through CAG.

I really think that FTL is going to be featured in the next one. It's cross platform, has ties to the Humble Store and has also been on sale in the last week at both GOG and Steam. I'd say that Grimrock would be another pretty good bet.

Thank you. I was about to drop some of my steam friends who actually play their games. Nothing is more annoying than being caught up in a show or game or article then seeing so and so is playing Skyrim pop up in the lower corner of my screen.

Sorry about that. I have a short attention span.

Lucky! I wish I had one of those.

D'OH. All this time I never knew that.

This should be the default. There's a million reasons why people might be starting and stopping games over and over in a short time period.

There's been times where I was trying out a bunch of different ENBs in Skyrim and restarting over and over etc. Most of the time I go into offline mode as a courtesy but a few times I'm sure I forgot to.

I'm more than a little shocked that it's news to so many people.

The End asked the question, so I opened up the settings and looked.

It was right there.

I guess it's one of those annoying things that happens quickly enough you forget to do anything to fix it when it's over.

By the way, the guy who I was talking about wasn't a fellow CAG. So no need for those of you on my friend's list to feel bad.

The guy I was talking about was somebody over on NeoGAF who I once helped with regional pricing. I probably could have just deleted him I guess. But I've never removed anybody from my friend's list and I didn't want to unless it was over something serious.

I was just kidding. Though I did remove you from my friend's list...

Oh I know. But I posted that just in case anybody else was wondering.

You've never been on my friends list.

Back on topic, it's funny how Fallout Collection, priced at $3.40 earlier today, suddenly became €6,80 when I added it to my cart... hey, the dollar surely is catching up!
But I snagged it anyway, I'm too sentimentally attached to those games, plus I made a point to find a certain blue box in Fallout 2 that I missed back then...

Well, I just fired up NecroVisioN last night (yes, the N is capitalized too).

I must say, it felt like a comedy to me, although it clearly was not intended to come across that way. Funny in that Evil Dead sort of way (almost bordering on copying it). You're an American soldier during WWII, killin' Nazis and whatnot, and then BAM! Ambushed! Everybody dies, you get shot up, black out, and wake up in a bunker with some British dude. Naturally he's crazy, so you kill him, and as you attempt to escape, you quickly discover that there are zombies everywhere. Then a giant ghost face appears and is like like "Youuuu could change everything! We shall rule the world, mwahahaha!" and you're like "What have I been smoking?" (lots of one liners from your southern accented protagonist).

You move on, kill more zombies and Nazis, and then wtf, a WIZARD! He's firing magic at you, raising gun wielding zombies from the grave, conjuring glowing orange flying manta rays that shoot fire at you, and naturally blocking all your bullets with a magic shield around him. You shred through his minions, turn your sights on him, leading to a cutscene where your character goes "I can't penetrate his shield. I have to get close!", and then he disappears and the fight is over. What happened to getting close!? Then a single Nazi shows up and knocks you out with the butt of his rifle. Magic manta ray summoning wizard? No problem. Nazi with a rifle? Lights out.

And that was the first level.

I cannot comment on anything but the story, because otherwise it's just a fast paced FPS, really buggy, although it has a nice dual wielding element (plus you can KICK people over and over again).

What am I talking about again?

That's what you think.

Originally Posted by plft I tried to turn it off, but then it wasn't giving me any options for dialog choices. I wonder if the demo never got updated while the actual game did. I hope I won't have to disconnect my microphone as it's in my monitor.

Interesting!
I never played the demo.
I just bought the full game out-right - and there's an option to turn that voice-recognition on/off.
