Yeah, I forgot about that. Zeno clash too.
All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
JOIN USSSSSS!!!!
SR2 is really fun.
I still have a CD key from that portuguese give away that hasn't been used.
I got it from that giveaway. :P
Glad I only paid 5 bucks for it!
edit: Dark Messiah is cool and you should play it
It really is fantastic. There are so many tricks, tips and mods that can make replay of the game worthwhile and fun.
I wish I could fight decently though, i suck a lot.
What happened next was a daring commando raid where my squad swam across and stealth capped a point.
Nope.
But then again we are getting close to the Steam mid-week deal, aren't we? I can't remember if that happens on Tuesday or Wednesday.

It might be under a different subid. It's too complicated to think of every eventuality.
You need to visit Singapore some day. Or maybe Shanghai in three decades.
"Evil" is not quite the right word here. Neither "corrupt". "Illiberal" perhaps; notice the dubiously enthusiastic election posters decorating parts of the environment.
I mean, there are cops shooting at you just because.
That tends to imply the lack of elections, or the lack of popular support, or the absence of civil institutions, or even the absence of meaningful political change, which isn't really true. A clean, efficient state with minimal corruption or violent crime doesn't lose popular support that easily, for instance.
I mean, the practical problem with 1930s fascism was not that the trains ran on time; they actually didn't, and fascism turned out to be deeply corrupt. Now imagine that a careful government actually does "make the trains run on time", and there you have it. Benjamin Franklin only said that those who traded 'essential liberty' for security didn't deserve either; he never said it wasn't possible.
America and Western Europe are typically labeled "liberal democracies" in academia; in the popular discourse 'liberal' tends to be taken for granted, which is really too bad - it leads to the assumption that one's civil liberties can't possibly be under threat because it's the result of a vote.
Mind = Blown
(oh, and. I like how the Steam calculator kept changing its output whenever I looked at it. Are you editing it live? :P)
Flagged your account so you won't show in the high/low.
Sorry for yelling but I have seen it every couple of pages and its starting to get on my nerves.
Well, concerning corruption, whenever a group of people manage to obtain absolute power with no accountability, they will most definitely take personal advantage out of it.
Yes, we know.
Any idea why?
It doesn't seem to do much of anything, but it destroys the game if I turn it one and kick a window.
Edit: Hunh. So there's no way to make it function with my Radeon? Well, that's sort of annoying.
It seems like you should be able to task a dedicated processor to it, it's not like multi-core systems use all of them to run a game.
PhysX was originally a separate card with a dedicated Physics processor card but then Nvidia took over and implemented it into their own cards. Or something. ATI is shit outta luck because it gets sent to CPUville.
Let's combine finicky, poorly responsive controls with level design that kills you for jumping a nanosecond too late or too early or a millimeter to the left or the right.
Yes, of course my character won't even try and grab onto the pipe right in front of her fucking face, she'd much rather plummet to her death for the twentieth fucking time in a row. Thanks!
At least I only blew $5 on this garbage rather than $20+
You're not running enough. If you build up momentum before jumping, you won't have a problem with distance jumps.
Steam ID : rwb36, Twitter : Werezompire,
the game could definitely be improved and it can be frustrating, but it's still a very good game.
you are just bad at it. there's nothing wrong with that, mind you, because it's hard to get good at it. but this is a game that you have to practice to be good at.
Ah, so when I push the "jump up" button and nothing happens, I guess it's because I'm not running enough, or because I suck at the game. Good to know.
This is pretty much how I feel: it's a good game that has some extremely frustrating qualities to it that will hopefully be ironed out in Mirror's Edge 2.
Like, I spent ten or so minutes trying to jump from a pipe to a platform at the end of the sewer level. This was because I was pressing the move forward button in addition to the jump button. As it turns out, the jump only works if you don't touch your movement keys and only press the jump button.
And immediately after that section there's a fucking frustrating part with five shotgun wielding cops. Jesus motherfucking christ that was annoying.
On the other hand, it makes you feel dirty about buying anything on Steam for the next few months because you always think back at what could have been.
$49.99. Man, I got a game last week for 3 bucks.
