    Question: Did Oddworld Stranger's Wrath ever get that HD texture update that we were promised to get when the console versions were released, or were they just blowing smoke up our collective ass?

    In other news, http://digg.com/newsbar/Gaming/guinness_awards_black_ops_greatest_ending_in_gaming_history_record ... does this mean I have to finish it from my backlog?

    eh the ending wasn't spectacular or anything. The story was handled fairly well though and it was a step up from the narrative of the last few Call of duty games. Greatest ending in History though? Sometimes I wonder where they get the people to answer questions like this.

    The cynical part of me whispers that they might be trolling to generate page hits, but what do I know, I still haven't even made it halfway through Black Ops before getting bored. :D

    A quick look at the website for Stranger's Wrath HD brought up this little tidbit.
    PC RELEASE: 2–3 months later

    So there's still hope.

    It should be noted that @Stregone is a classy, dungeoness type fellow.

    He sent me Zombie Shooter 2.

    So, I just submitted my thesis for printing. In roughly six hours from now I can go fetch it and hand it in.

    Now, I just came home from uni where I submitted it. I log into Steam, and what do I see?

    Out of nowhere, the ever classy @Iolo gifted me The Longest Journey! In his gift text, he likened it to a thesis, since a thesis also takes ages to finish :)

    Thanks man, I've been meaning to try this game! :)

    I...have been shocked and appalled by skyrim.

    So, I download the classy mudcrab mod, and also a mod that gives me a mudcrab pet in my home. So I had a classy mudcrab pet, and it was adorable. However, someone just Suddenly bursts into my home, wild and crazy, trying to attack. I have NO IDEA WHY....but...but He killed my Classcrab before I could put an arrow in his face.

    Today I mourn.

    Stranger's Wrath already looks pretty great without the HD texture pack

    Anyone know whether Amazon's download version of Borderlands GOTY activates on Steam? I was fairly certain that it did, but I don't see any mention of it on the product page.

    Borderlands GOTY from their sales around Xmas did. They didn't always though, so that might be why the page is outdated.

    Thanks. Seems to work.

    So I guess we lost "Send user a message" from PA profile pages in the update? That's too bad. That was a handy feature.

    Have you looked at a Guiness Book of World Records within the last 15 years or so? They're a joke. I remember when they were thick, dense tomes of actual records. No longer.

    I guess you gotta branch out when you end up making records like "most marshmallows stuffed in mouth in 60 seconds while riding unicycle on a tightrope."

    Ok, I don't know how it works, but all out of the blue @lolo just gifted me a copy of Borderlands GOTY edition.

    I'm in a mixture of excitement and dazziness. I guess it is all explained by saying he is a true gentleman, and his classiness know no boundaries.
    Thank you very much. Hope to play some multiplayer with you!

    Modern Warfare 2 for $5 is a pretty good deal. The co-op has some fun levels in it.

    As I'm contractually obligated to point out, the SP campaign is short as fuck (and to rip off Yahtzee, "and around me fucks are legendarily short"), but totally worth $5.

    First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

    It's a sale on Amazon, not Steam.

    is the games of thrones genesis worth the 10$? normally i like the idea of a RTS or TBS but the king arthur collection is going unplayed.

  • ShimshaiShimshai Flush with Success! Isle of EmeraldRegistered User regular
    Ah, well that explains why I couldn't see it. Has it ever been that cheap on Steam? I'd like to pick it up sometime since I enjoyed it on the 360, even though I was pretty terrible using a controller for a fps.

    i figured the lack of a thread here that did anything was an indicator of that... i guess gotham city impostors and mw2 will have to do

    The general consensus is that they butchered a very good series. Shame too as I really like the series. I don't think I've heard a good thing said about the game... EVER. That says something. heh. Oh well, as long as GRRM doesn't take 5 years on the next book I'm ok:)

    Finally got that new computer. So fast, so responsive.... so many things that need downloading! Ended up compromising a bit on the build as some parts ended up more expensive than I thought, but it came in at budget, and everything seems to be working.

    Now just to wait for my direct deposit to kick in, and I can start getting stuff on Steam again.

    Would it be impolite, or super off-topic to hear the specs? I always get excited to hear how these builds came together.

    Are there people here yet who are interested in Borderlands but do not yet have it? I really need to know. The vast (!) majority of my Steam friends already have the game, and I know that most of the folks who don't either aren't interested or don't have a rig that can handle it (not that it's particularly system intensive.)

    I will also accept answers to the question, "If there was, say, a Steamgifts giveaway or contest for the game would there be people entering it?"

    The bolded result is your fault, I think. I have no friends who have it wishlisted.
