Re: Steam Summer Sale 2012

I bought Ridge Racer Underground because it was stupid cheap and apparently actually good. It seems to borrow heavily from Split/Second, which is something I greatly approve of. Also Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition, because it was a cheap enough way to get the last two expansion packs. (I hav...

Re: Steam Summer Sale 2012

I see a lot of my friends spend a whole lot of time playing awful games, just because they were on sale. Either that or they hoard up on them without even touching them, a gigantic steam library with pages upon pages of shitty games left unplayed. What a waste. For me a game is worth spending my pr...

Steam Summer Sale 2012

Anybody going crazy this time around?

My only full game purchase will be Fallout New Vegas ultimate edition when it hits 75% off. I have also picked up missing DLC for Sanctum and Orcs Must Die!

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles & Darkside Chronicles. Great fun. Also, Lollipop Chainsaw. <3 i'm curious about lollipop. it didn't review well, but still seems like it'd a fun. what's your opinion? Aside from the <3. ME3 on insanity. I didn't think the ending was terrible like the rest of t...

Re: WHAT GAMES ARE YOU PLAYING THESE DAYS

you'd have to play with people you can chat with to survive silver and gold challenges, though. at least i feel you would. i haven't tried any yet except once with a level 7 engineer. that didn't go so well for me or the team.

ME3.

with a paragon ME1 and renegade ME2 imported character.

saved kaiden, kept everyone alive in ME2. i'm liking it a lot so far. apparently the doozy is the ending, but it'll be a little bit before i get there.

Re: Deciding on whether to get a PSP-3000 or 3DS

i've heard that the consoles were a major push for consumers to go out and get hdtv's, though. i know that when i bought my 360, i refused to plug it into a regular tv. i bought the vga cable and played at 720p on my then 1280x1024 monitor. my xbox was more of a reason than my computer when i bought...

Re: Deciding on whether to get a PSP-3000 or 3DS

designing a game with the assumption that a peripheral is there is about one hair short of requiring it. So a port of Monster Hunter 3 is reason to hate the 3DS? hate is strong. be wary is better, i think. it was sony's single biggest mistake, and they go right ahead and replicate it. whether you o...

Re: Antivirus Software

AVs these days get their "tentacles" all over the place. General networking problems can be attributed to them. You would hope these things would cause minimal stress to the system, but even with multi-core systems, I guess some people like poop (shitty AVs) in their comps. seconding the ...

Re: Deciding on whether to get a PSP-3000 or 3DS

Inevitable hardware revision, hah. The most they can do is cram in that stupid right analog nub, or maybe make the system DSi XL sized and shove in a larger battery. I'm satisfied with the battery life I already have, and I don't need a right analog nub. you don't need it until a game you want requ...

it's still a for pay anti-virus.

when MSE and safe practices can get you same result, i don't see the point.

they should have never let the free ones catch up to them the way they did.

Re: Deciding on whether to get a PSP-3000 or 3DS

i personally think the 3ds still isn't worth it. layton v. wright, ace attorney 5, and the inevitable hardware revision are what i'm waiting for.

but unless you fully intend to hack the psp, i'd wait until you can get your hands on a vita and seeing if you'd rather get that over a psp or 3ds.

Re: WHAT GAMES ARE YOU PLAYING THESE DAYS

desktop is packed and all that, so a ton of dungeons of dredmor in the meantime. other roguelikes haven't been able to keep me interested the way this one has. and yes, i know it's super simple compared to most others.

still fun. i'll probably even get the dlc for the extra skills. i mean, emomancy.
