    The only mission I remember being difficult in an annoying way was the one where you have to set charges on some hovercopters or whatever you want to call them and if you alert anyone they ALL LIFT OFF and start wrecking your shit

    I still maintain that the one where you have to destroy radio towers in the first area and they give you a goddamn car to do it is some bullshit

    I managed that by the skin of my teeth, had to swap vehicles and hijack an enemy APC near the end

    The one where you get behind the controls of a walker for the first time is pretty awesome, but there's far too much of this "endless wave of enemies" stuff

    The civilian "Helpers" are a pain in the hole. I managed to get myself up onto a ledge, via later game toys and whatnot. No way in hell the Helpers could get up there, I start to destroy the base down below to get the morale up/down whatever, the troops couldn't see so woo, until a Helper appeared beside me "I'm with you MASON!" flyer inbound, whoops im dead. SHIT!

    I am playing metro 2033 and I do not understand librarians.
    The guy said look them in the eye and don't move, the tooltip says never stand in one place and another one says move only when they have their back turned to you. Sometimes when they appear they are already looking to kill me, and I don't have enough ammo to kill all of them and using the knife only sometimes works if there is only one of them and they do not seem to stop coming.

    the librarians are the worst, what you have to do is run like hell and dodge through holes and shit, and even that only works sometimes, because they can BURST RIGHT THROUGH THE WALL.

    also, somebody gift me Guerrilla maybe? :3

    I beat that game on ps3. Ended up getting it as part of the THQ pack I think. It runs in fast-forward motion all the time on my desktop, same with saints row 2. And I would need to use a cheat program to slow it down to regular speed and it really isn't worth the effort.

    There was a guy who made a modded executable, works with the steam version, and it fixes that speedup glitch perfectly. There's one for SR2 and for RF:G. Only thing is it mutes the audio while you're looking at the handbook, but that's minor.

    the Saint's Row 2 one is probably in the G&T thread OP

    they're supposed to be like the weeping angels in Dr. Who, ie look at them and they don't do anything but it doesn't work so great

    I just used throwing knives on them a bunch, and once you get underground they're mostly asleep so you can just sprint past them into cover before they get up

    So, I was playing L4d2 and the weirdest thing happened. I went into a random Versus server to find an Idle host and about 4 copies of each survivor just standing around. I could only switch weapons-no shooting, movement, or even going to the menu.

    It was bizzare.

    dear darksiders,

    fuck you already. even when your bosses are easy they're still bullshit, and now that I beat them and get to the finale of the game I have to go on another fucking fetch quest that involves backtracking through the entire game to reforge some broken plot-device sword? fuck you!

    P.S. please make a sequel

    I used to really like steam when I was using Windows, but on Mac is a piece of shit that always crashes.

    All I want to do is download TF2 and it can't even do that without exploding.

    They had an article on their site on the 17th that said they would be releasing it sometime today. It's also supposed to be on sale for half off the first day.

    I imagine it'll go up when the thing turns over around 1.

    As far as I know, the Orange Box was the only package that they allowed people to do that with.

    I bought a couple of packs over the summer sales that contained a game or two that I owned already, and you're just stuck with them. But a lot of times the deal is so good that it's still worth it.
