So those Motioninjoy drivers to get a PS3 controller working on Windows?
Warning to anyone using it, it's sort of a shoddy piece of shit.
I mean, it does what it advertises, but it plays so poorly with the wired 360 controller that trying to plug the 360 controller in would cause my system to bluescreen and shut down.
I had to do some retarded song and dance to scour the whole thing from my system before my 360 controller would function again.

Okay, Just Cause 2 is as cool as you guys said.
I'ma gonna watch it this week to see if it drops lower than $14.99, as I really need to watch my budget right now.
(I really hope it drops.)

Anyone have any good mystery games to recommend? I know there are a few to choose from but I'm not sure if any of them are actually any good.

And now, I bring you a word-for-word transcript of my thoughts about fifty seconds ago...
"Why are there two Steam Windows open?
Ugh, must be another one of those ads they put up every once in a while to remind you of shit they want you to buy.
Waitaminnit.
What's this? Toki Tori? A gift? From ProjectMayhem?
Wow. That guy really is some cool dudes."
Thanks man!
But for future reference, Mr. X is my father's name :P

I'm still on the fence about the FEAR pack. Looks like a nice deal, unsure how much I'd like that much of FEAR. I think I might just only get the first FEAR.
u fraid?
I don't like scary games in general but I don't fear FEAR
ah heck, I feel like supporting monolith even though they'll likely never make another NOLF again
The first game seems like a no brainer, FEAR 2 seems 'uninspired' from a quick glance through reviews

The only game that has ever legitimately frightened me is Amnesia, for what it's worth.
Which, coincidentally... is on sale again, for all you schoolgirls you wimped out on the last sale
Ok, so I was trying to be all cool about it and make a neat picture for it all, but it isn't working, so hopefully people see this post.
GET A FREE GAME!
I've been gifted a bunch so far already, so I'm going to start paying it forward (or back I suppose, depending on if someone who's gifted me also wins). Anyway..
Pick a game from the daily deals, PM me with (and this is the important part):
Your Steam pofile LINK - I want to make sure I've got the right person.
The game of your choice
That's it. The only other rule is that you've got to have a PA forum profile that is at least 3 months old and 100 posts. Sorry new people, but I feel like our Thanksgiving crazy-awesome-ness attracted a lot of people and I want to give back to people who've been here a while and are at least half-active.
I'm going to wait till tomorrow morning to see how many people I've got PMs from, then I'm going to randomly draw a winner and gift the game.
I've got 37 entries, anyone else? I haven't gotten a PM in a little while..
Yeah I had to grab a couple of Prince of Persia games
The Digital Deluxe edition of Forgotten Sands, which comes with Sands of Times (and is the same price as the regular version and SoT separately), and PoP 2008.

Did you notice everyone freaking out about Amnesia? FEAR is nothing like that. You have guns and you get to shoot back at anything that can hurt you.
I heard Stranger's Wrath wasn't a great port, can anyone confirm?
It's a shitty shit shit port
Though, if it makes you feel any better, it is very likely only a placeholder.
See, they're working on an HD version of Stranger's Wrath for PSN, and they wanted the Oddboxx out for the Holiday season.
So they gave us a shoddy placeholder port while they finish up the HD resources, and then they plan to update the PC version afterward.
Really extra shitty of them, but if you take them at their word it may be worth grabbing it now for cheap.
That's kind of shitty, 7.49 isn't cheap enough to wait for patches since I own a PS3 and might as well wait. Still, Stranger's Wrath is one of my favorite games of all time.
If you pm me something you want that's cheapish BigIsy, I'll gift you something for being a sport.
haha that's very kind if you but I'm good for today. Gonna save my magic beans for another round of daily deals.
Ok, but keep it in mind.
well that didn't last looking. Stupid Prince of Persia being so good. Sand of time would be great if you're offering
And thanks allot man. Mighty kind of you.

It's really not a placeholder of any kind, the meat of the game is there, they'll just be swapping in better art assets and changing some stuff when they eventually patch it. The more recent patches are what we should be looking for and apparently they're hard at work on them.
I'd recommend buying the Oddboxx anyway. It's an absurdly cheap price, Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus are still fantastic games and Munch's Oddysee is meant to run quite a bit better than Stranger's Wrath (which apparently had some really weird implementation on the Xbox that's causing all the current problems). Then when Stranger's Wrath is fixed up, you can play that too.

Do you have forgotten Sands? I can give you both for 7.50
Or Sands of Time and 08. Do you have Pop '08?

It's a bad excuse, to be sure, but I'm slightly less critical of it because I didn't own any of the other games in the pack to begin with.
As long as they fix it down the line, I figure I'll have gotten more than my money's worth.
so, Deus Ex is really good for a game that's so old. Heck, it's good for a modern game. I have a weird graphics problem though. The textures get all muddled and turn green whenever I get too close to something. If I turn off the higher res textures the problem goes away but then they look worse from a distance.
any idea on how to fix that?
Could try this? This was posted a few pages back, I haven't tested it myself yet though.
wooo! that worked and now it's running with some nice textures i picked up off a link from that site.

I've got none of there Prince of Persia games. How does that work? bloody good deal.
Edit: forgotten sand please! pop'08 already completed on the360. Really awful ending.

Forgotten sands digital deluxe. I may add something I've mentioned to your stocking for being good.
Since this thread is going to be pretty much nothing but contest pictures with no actual discussion, I'll ask one more time. How are the Commandos games? The whole set is $3 on Steam right now, and while the price is fine, I've got this thing about buying games I won't like, unless they're part of some bigger developer pack.
I'm sure someone has chimed in by now, but just in case: I loved the Commandos games I played (1-3) back int he day and I bought that pack on Steam myself. IIRC the manual that came with the third game was rubbish. I found out on-line there there was so much more I could go int he game than the manual indicated. Like knocking on wall to distract guards and such.
Picked up a few things today (Plants and Zombies GOTY, the Future pack, Winterbottom), but I'm really holding out for a better price on Arma II: Combined Ops and Age of Wonder: Shadow Magic. F2: Las Vegas at a better price would be nice, too, but I'm not holding my breath.
A bit like a gameshow, these Steam sales: take the offer, or risk what's behind Day Number 2...
(though if you wait long enough, you always win the game, I suppose)

Ah, bigisy, you need to accept my firends request.
well it's bed time for me. I got out pretty cheaply. Three copies of SMB, one of which has already been gifted and Bad Company. Plus Mayhem gifted me deus ex, which after the first hour of playing, I can tell is going to get the most gameplay for the next week or two along with SMB.
things I resisted buying included PoP, Lego Batman, Indie Fright Pack and Just Cause 2.

(Yes I know they haven't actually spent five years porting. But since the game is that old anyway, you'd think they wouldn't have an excuse.)
