Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
the things a steam summer sale does to a clam

did any of you pick up lead and gold? I've been playing it a whole bunch and it is really cool
feels way different than any other multiplayer shooter I have played
Wonder if it's gotten any less laggy and stuff.
its $40 off (to $70) at an online store already here
pretty glad I didn't buy at release/pre-order!

Just catching up on this thread and I'm in the exact same place. I got gifted a lot of games as a side effect of me gifting a lot of games and I still haven't touched quite a few of them. Part of it is minecraft though, running a server is eating up my spare time. The nice thing though is that having that backlog has done a really good job of saving me money since i'm not buying new games.

potato sack pack
13 awesome games for $34 and you can gift the spares
Far Cry 2: $20
Dragon Age Origins: $30
Dragon Age Awakening: $30
Assassins Creed 1: $20
Is it just me, or was it a fantasy to expect some of these for cheaper?
back in my day...
You are being crazy.
Those are fine prices for all of those things unless some huge sale is going on.
Except Assassins Creed 1 and far cry 2 I guess. Those kind of sucked and I would never pay that much for them.
edit: I already paid $60 for far cry 2 though.
That was awful

Gonna try out Risen now after enjoying the demo
I remember the Far Cry 2 panel at PAX08 (Or was it 09? Fuck I dunno)
The most exciting thing was the ability to set anything and everything on fire.
You can also find me on Twitter if you want to be inundated with my horrid opinions off the forums, too!
fuck I hate fc2

That's why I got Far Cry 2. And I liked the first half of Far Cry 1. Then Far Cry 2 just really sucked. A lot. You could set things on fire but the whole enemies respawning at checkpoints thing and the way enemies took damage was awful and I just hated all of it.

If you're actually looking for dragon age origins / awakening, the Ultimate Edition is like $40 and is both of those bundled together
Check it out.
if it didn't have a lot of the actual game in it and just let me go around exterminating roving gangs of evil mercenaries that oppressed the local villages, setting wildfires as traps to lure them into ambushes at my leisure, I would have loved it
but noooo, they had to give me fucking malaria

taking out their convoys was fun though
I should just wait for it to inevitably go on sale.
I did not like it
God I had a lot of fun in that game.
Well this explains why the games in the potato pack that I have are updating.
But still, what is going on here Valve?
I want to play Brink
but Brink doesn't come out for two months
dilemma
It won't help it come out any faster, but it will make me antsy too
Misery loves company, right?
Also I just beat HL2 for the first time and it was fun, don't know why I didn't sooner.
feel free to begin cutting whales
Oh wow thats awesome and makes me want to play brink even more.
Ping is how long it takes your computer to send a message to a server and get a response. Your upload and download speeds, and the server's both come into play here (and upload speed on home internet is often much slower). The amount of data sent for the ping is incredibly small though. How far the packet needs to travel has a more impact than your up/down speeds.
