So can anyone recommend any of those absurdly cheap paradox games? Never really paid them any mind.
If you're gonna grab one, grab the "Plethora of Paradox Games" for $11.54. That's only a buck or two more than Crusader Kings has been on sale anywhere, AND it comes with most of the DLC, Warlock, Magicka Collection, Majesty 1+2, and Victoria 2. All of those games are worth around $3-5 a piece, so you can quickly see the value...
Basically you're getting the cheapest deal around on CK2 + DLC, and another five games for free.
As for if the games are your style or not... who knows. CK2 (I haven't played it yet) is supposed to be one of the best strategy games ever made (more from a noble family politics angle), Magicka seems to be an arcadey action game that is supposed to be loads of fun, Warlock is a magic focused RTS (I think), Victoria is similar to CK2, and the Majesty games... You basically are building a medieval kingdom, so think RTS, but you're not in direct control of your troops. It's more a management thing (you put out bounties and incentives for your subjects and heroes to do things), but it's not super complicated like most RTS games. I recommend it.
In the end, for $11... Yeah.

I bought that bundle last time it was offered primarily for Warlock. Haven't played it myself yet, but all I'd read before buying made it seem pretty solid.
Well I've been off this thread for about a week, sad to see I only had about 30 pages to catch up in. Time for a page of rehashes!!
BUT FIRST!
* Face Kick Bundle sucks, don't think I need to go quoting for that one.
* I just got my Portal 2 coupon yesterday...yet it expires tomorrow and was good since the 16th?! I just don't get Steam sometimes... Anyways, its up for grabs!
* Got all new indie bundles released, regret nothing!
* People should be getting BeMine4 just for the Guns of Icarus Online code you'll get for $5+.
* I'm oh so very glad all the random Asian videos just so happened to end up posted on page 69
And finally....WHY HAS NO ONE MENTIONED THE SPECIAL REWARDS FOR THE INDIE ROYALE?!
FUCKING SPACE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now back to old rehashed old stuff that needs not be brought back up, but my god if it isn't my duty to do it!

I've learned that if you are not going to play it and don't have the room out in the open, its time to invest in some nice boxes, lol.

I just wanted to post this link for Castle Story again as a quick reminder to those who have not seen this Kickstarter. It is ending in a few days and it looks AMAZING. I do not recall who but someone posted this a while back when it began and I instantly wanted to give them my money hahah
Don't worry, I've been gone longer! Also, I had missed Castle Story, but oh well.

I just felt like this point needed another bump; too many people waste money on "gaming laptops" and electronics in general... People need to learn to shop and think better before they buy.

My question was what VIDEO CARD would be good in an Alienware M18, not what other brand I should buy instead. >.>

Get something like a $1000 Asus Republic of Gamers laptop. They've been on Warehouse Deals recently for under $1k.

I've rarely found anyone who's ended up getting a gaming laptop and HASN'T hated they got it within a few months of having one.

I actually wanted to get this here because I noticed no one brought it up. Not saying anything by this, but you are KINDA wrong. It really depends on what type of battery is in the laptop. What you are saying is 100% true for NiMH; but its a bit different for newer lithium batteries. Basically, for older laptops/batteries its better to let them drain down before charging but for newer its better to not drop below either 1/4 or 1/2, I don't remember. I wish I could find an old page about this stuff to post, it really laid out everything about the different types of batteries very well.

Have any CAG's tried Zero Gear?
Check the video settings for the awesome "indie" slider
Aw , this would be awesome!! I think I'll but it and take this great setup...but wait! I only have $147,167.64!!! Could a generous CAG spot me a penny? Trust me, I'm good for it! I was trying to look up an old slang term to use for a penny, found this site, laughed my ass off confused as hell by the inclusion of the 2nd to last US term
I haven't gotten around to subject myself to the game yet, but I seriously thought the talking was just stupid mic chat from idiot players....but no, I was so wrong and I just don't know how I feel about the world now....
EDIT: Unspoilered hoping to fix thread up <-EDIT2: Is everyone else not seeing the ShaqFu image? It shows up in editing, but not on the post...

Yes, go with that; I'm glad you can see the difference in the 2. Back when JC2 was on the summer sale, I had to convince my FUCKING MORONIC friend to get it. He was saying how he had JC1 and didn't like it because it felt to dated and refused to get JC2 because of that!! Finally I forced him to get it and now its his GODDAMN FAVORITE GAME!!!! FUCK, SOME PEOPLE!?!?!?!? I mean his reasons for not getting the new one was because the old one was old!?!?

Since I was the one insistent on getting a gaming laptop, I'll say again that I need one for lifestyle reasons. I am not going to be staying in one place, and I need something that I can pick up and move on a consistent basis. Yes, it means I'm going to pay another $1000 or so to have that mobility, but it's a necessity for me.
I'm not sure why that's such a hard concept to grasp, really.

Everyone bashes Alienware, yet about 99% of those people bashing Alienware have never owned an Alienware. Yes, they are very expensive, and not quite as well made as they were when Origin made them. That said, they are still of very high quality, and come with Dell support, which is the best around. For example, the biggest qualm I read in a recent Alienware review was that the keyboard flexed a tiny bit in a certain spot if you pressed down hard. Not exactly a dooming trait.
In the end, I've probably decided against them anyways. Clevo seems to be of as high or higher quality in some areas than Alienware, and they are a good bit cheaper (i.e. $2000 vs. $2500). Alienwares are very high quality computers, but expensive. That's where the blind negativity comes from.

I hate cheap Dell computers that are frankensteined together and start falling apart after a year or two. The reason Dells are often so cheap is because they are not smartly built, and while they be fine for awhile out of the box, you start seeing the problems later on. The same isn't true of Alienwares.
Dell support is amazing though. Dell has its good points; I just hate their low end stuff, because that's all I've used from them.
And yes, trying to calm the cluster of differing opinions and people throwing in "wtf this is off topic" every page or so was me "whining". Thank you for the brilliant observation.

Isn't the Guns of Icarus Online only beta? I don't think you'll get the full game.
Isn't the Guns of Icarus Online only beta? I don't think you'll get the full game.
Yeah, it's only the beta. The mystery game MIGHT be the full game though, so it's a possibility.
Just a heads up that you can pay the extra $4 to BTA AFTER the mystery game is unveiled though. You don't have to do it now, so the smartest thing to do is wait and see.
(There's been rumors of the mystery game being Postal 3 as well.)
Just a heads up to those who might be interested in one of the Paradox packs that Amazon is selling. They have the Plethora of Paradox pack which is supposed to be $11.54, but is instead incorrectly listed as $9.51. They will undoubtedly change it in time, so grab it now if you were considering the purchase.
It's worth noting that there are two other paradox packs which, when combined, give you everything in the Plethora Of Paradox plus the two Sword of the Stars games. Those two packs would run you a combined $17.05. So if the two Sword of the Stars games are worth an extra $7.54, you might wanna consider getting both of them instead of the Plethora of Paradox pack.
