Someone got upset with The Old Republic not working with the steam overlay and time tracking and wrote a little script to fix it. He posted the script over at The Old Republic forums if anyone wants to keep in contact with your Steam friends while having all of your time stolen by SWTOR.

@SoundsPlush was classy enough to trade me his copy of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for my -25% Bethesda coupon. I tip my hat to you, good sir!
I don't suppose I can just plug a 360 controller into my USB port and have it work... can I?
That's always been my understanding (though I use a PS3 controller, so don't have first-hand knowledge).
With wired 360 controllers you can. With the wireless ones you have to buy a dongle that MS no longer makes/sells because the cable is just for charging.

They no longer make the individual dongles, but best buy does sell a wireless controller+dongle pack still.
Thank you @Ashe! Serious Sam Double D looks pretty awesome, I've never played any of them before but I grabbed up the older ones too, looking forward to giving them a go.
Looking at the list, I *think* know what the criteria are.
If I'm right, I would not be eligible to enter at this time.
Incorrect. I think it's highly unlikely that anyone would be ineligible.
is the way to enter to guess what the criteria is
BOOM IF I GET IN NOW YOU KNOW
No, but I encourage people to try to figure it out. If you know what [redacted] is, and you use that to get yourself a dozen or more entries, I think that's perfectly fair and a just reward for figuring it out. The requirements are subjective, so don't be surprised if you think they're a little inconsistent.

darklite_xI'm not an r-tard...Registered Userregular
You know what's been bugging the shit out of me? It's not Steam related, but it IS digital distribution. Specifically, Origin. I'm serving overseas so I have an overseas IP, but I've been trying to buy the new Star Wars game. The problem is that with my foreign IP I can only download the foreign version of Origin, which a) I have no idea how to read and b) charges euros which is a huge markup. So I sent an e-mail to customer service explaining this and asked if there was some sort of U.S. executable or link I could get to download a version of Origin that charges US currency and that I can read. They came back and basically told me to suck up the price fucking and find someone that can read Origin for me. At first I was just like fine whatever I don't need to buy EA games, but then I started thinking about it and I couldn't help but think "Hold on, one of their biggest sellers, and the game they practically launched Origin on, Battlefield 3, is entirely about the military, so they're making fucking bank off of the military, but then when they actually deal with military people they tell them to go fuck off?"

I hope the new EDF gets a daily if it doesn't I'll get it by the end of the sale but still just 25% the whole sale so far.
Not going to happen, they already said that the discount that they launched it at along with the lowered price for PC is significant enough from the console version that it won't be a daily deal.
Kinda spoiler warning in that the first 10 seconds or so wrap up the main plot of the Lara Croft story, though it's a pretty basic story, skip 15 seconds ahead if you're spoiler sensitive.
I, uhh.. what-what is that? I wait a thousand years for another Legacy of Kain game and we get this!? ;P
Well, it's actually a better game than a handful of the Blood Omens, so there's that.
So is this just a skin/voice pack or actually a new campaign for the game?
Also, just crafted 2 Orange Boxes in a row.. great.

It's the former. I haven't played through it myself, but I do appreciate the way they creatively used the recorded dialogue from the Soul Reaver games throughout the campaign.

All you most likely need is a US-based VPN (I used Hostizzle+OpenVPN when I was in Japan to use Steam). You'll need a credit card linked to an American address, but I imagine that's not a problem for you.

Yeah, I think The Old Republic runs in admin mode which is kinda stupid; People will get tired of NotJohn Williams and will want to listen to there own tunes and that kinda makes it inconvenient to do so (no global hotkeys.)

Well, as someone who isn't a US/Euro citizen, I can say that EA is one of, if not THE worst offender with regards to regional pricing and DLC stuff. Stuff like never reducing base prices over here, bullshit Bioware points that never have a discount (and make you spend more than you really need) leaves me with a very very bad impression with them. Which is a real shame really, since they make some pretty good franchises - Battlefield, Mass Effect.
How am I going to wage war on Kania and Dionysia when @Tef is dropping Serious Sam 3 BFE bombs on me?!
Tef = so, so classy
I just woke up, literally just now. Picked up my phone and checked my emails. @Tef has only gone and classified up my Wishlist by removing the number one game from it; Dead Riding 2 Off The Record! He's like a classy ninja, a clinja!
Is that the zombie DLC for Secret of the Magic Crystals?

Where are you? In Japan, a lot of their titles weren't available at all.
Had some fun with dudes last night playing payday. Shame my game shat up and booted me. Apparently we got away tho, so it's all good.
Solar 2 is fun, i recommend it to anyone wanting an osmos type game. Just wish there was a pause growth feature. I'd like to wreck stuff as a giant star for a bit. I know i could just not absorb stuff, or be better at managing which bits are absorbing other bits.

Singapore actually. We get US prices on nearly everything except EA stuff, so I guess in that aspect we're still better off than our Aussie neighbours down south

Nice. Singapore was my major source for PS3 imports at the time since the prices were reasonable, the games were in English, and it was much closer than the US.

So Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Deluxe edition worth it or not?
In my opinion it's the best Assassin's Creed, and I see no reason not to get the deluxe edition instead of the regular since it's only $3 more. Unless, you really want that $3.

With EA you need to actually call them on the phone, all their online customer service is handled by call centers in India staffed by people who are worse than useless, if you call them up you'll get a call center in the U.S. and hopefully get someone who can help you out. Just tell them you're an american serving overseas and you should be fine.

The reason is, I have so many games competing for my time that I may not get to AssBro in a timely manner so, if another sale later on happens that would be fine by me. Just curious on peoples thoughts on the matter of AssBro!

It has been patching like... forever!
And now it changed the patching screen to another patching screen.
oh wow this game is awesome! the gun stacker is so much fun
I only got up to the part shortly after the jump pad, but I have to agree.
The game is pretty awesome. Though I've almost screwed myself once or twice by quicksaving with literally one health left.
