Free stuff:
There are quite a few free games (mostly Free to Play) and mods available via the Steam platform, a comprehensive list of which can be found in this thread on the SPUF.

They postponed the last two batches until March. They only sent it out if you follow them on Snapchat. Anyways, all you CAGs just stop checking until March 1st.

Because people are confusing artistic license with technical prowess. Hardware preventing >24fps is different than a videographer (or other field equivalents) choosing to shoot/render at that frame rate. Fluid movement can cause a loss of dramatic effect by having to cheat motion blur. Which is why in some games it's in the options menu.

I think there is plenty of things that can cause a loss of dramatic effect way more than fluid movement, for exemple: poor writing, bad voiceacting, graphical bugs, tearing caused by bad optimalisation/fps losses. Fluid movement has never given me any problems.

So why games like L.A. Noire which potentially should gain more immersive gameplay with 'cinematic' feel caused a big uproar by being 30fps locked?

Games can't run too 'fluid', otherwise capping them to 30fps would have been a standard several years ago.
Click to expand...
30fps for the console version made sense (hardware limitations), but for the PC port, it was probably just a lazy/dumb decision.

Newegg has Civ 5 Complete for 12.50. (Base game + 2 Expansions + all DLC)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832351098

Add it to your cart, at checkout, put in your email, then add promo code EMCPHHP87

It is the Mac version, but Civ5 is Steamworks, so you get the PC version as well.

*waits for incoming "I just bought the Humble Bundle . . . fuck you Sid!"

How long does this deal last ?

Also, can anyone explain steamworks? My boyfriend bought this, but he doesn't show up in my list of friends as having own this game. He did a few days ago when he had just the base game from the humble bundle.

 
I'm actually pretty happy with the CoD: Ghosts free weekend.  It will give me more than enough time to play through the "campaign" & then I never have to think about the game again!  Whoo hooO!

So, for arguments sake, what's the difference between 30fps with visually perceived motion blur and 60fps with graphically added motion blur? Personally, I think it depends on the medium in question. To say that 60fps is better than 30fps while from a technical standpoint may be true, it doesn't necessarily equate to a better experience.

 
I got the "You're in the queue" message when the page showed there were still 175 keys left. Here's to hoping. :pray:

Edit: And...there's the email! Awesome.

The difference can be important, if someone has motion blur sickness or simply just don't like motion blur. 30fps with visually perceived motion blur you don't have an option to turn it off and have worse experience, while at 60fps the motion blur can be disabled in options/modded out. Otherwise, in that case I don't think there is noticeable difference.

 
I tried to make an alienware account for this but it said my email had already been used. Then I remembered I already had an account so I tried to choose "forgot my password" but none of the links on the sign in page were clickable. So I went back to the new account page but I couldn't read the freaking captchas. Needless to say I didn't win anything. :wall:

 
I stayed up all night thinking that it would be within the 24 hour timeframe of the Facebook post. Sure enough once I gave up they do the giveaway.

So was Thief an option of the titles to choose?

They did say there would be one more right?

I think I'm too late. He's offline, it's been a few minutes since this post, he could have at least updated saying it's gone. I pmed already anyway. I don't really expect anything. Although I would've liked Bard's Tale. Nice of the guy.

EDIT: I'm a dick! EDIT EDIT: Aw I missed the Alienware giveaway. :wall:

Cart Life

Cart Life is a retail simulation for Windows which showcases the lives of street vendors in a small city which is located in the Western United States.

Each of the playable characters has specific goals and special traits, but also unique addictions which the player must accomodate* in order to succeed within the game.

*Dev has a freaking spelling error in their description, accomodate should be accommodate.

Very generous offer, but completely unnecessary as seeing you purchase acquire (CAGs don't let CAGs purchase full price crap) RtH:R would be enjoyment in and of itself. :twisted:

That one looks like my kind of game. Beast Boxing Turbo is your prize. I have no idea if it is any good.

It will not happen, and you are sick. A code for Jolly Rover is on its way. This game is actually pretty good and funny. I beat it for last year's Four in February (or maybe the March one).

If you still need a 1500th game I recommend OMG Zombies. I've put in like 8 hours since I bought it (real time, not card idling time) and I still haven't finished my first play through.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, it may be the next game to be inducted into your featured games. On top of that, the new season for Walking Dead is awesome because we finally get to see Sergeant Abraham Ford. :twoguns:

I figured you would most likely not have a recently released game in your backlog, so I typed in "fun" in the Steam Store and sorted by date. After going through the list and much deliberation, my final suggestion was Starwhal: Just the Tip. My apologies.

That looks kind of awesome, and I see you are playing it now! If you like that, you will LOVE Waking Mars (actually, I have no idea)!

That depends. Did it work?

Since you seemed to like Faerie Solitaire so much, how about Gridiron Solitaire?

Or something more serious, Banished looks pretty nifty.

I always jump in on these FREE weekends for the MP on these CoD games.

Also, I should note that I do like the MP for these games:

Quake series; UT series; L4D series; BF series; & CoD series.

I'm sure there's others - just can't think of 'em all.
