    anyone know if this one activates on steam? It was removed from the steam store a while back, would be nice to have

    Amazon is really good now about marking Steam games. Since that one doesn't specify, it's very safe to assume it's not. Also note that with the demise of Gamespy, there are no multiplayer servers, so you're only getting a singleplayer game there (which is probably why it was pulled from Steam).

    I could be wrong, but I thought only the gaming news site GameSpy shutdown, not the multiplayer server part.
    Pretty sure it's the other way around

    From wikipedia
    GameSpy shut down operations in February 2013.[2] GameSpy Technologies, the company responsible for GameSpy multiplayer services, remains operational and has not made any announcements of a pending shutdown; the two GameSpy companies were separate entities and only related by name.[3]

    Well, regardless, this is from that game's store page:
    NOTE: As of Feb 2013, Gamespy servers are no longer supporting multiplayer mode. This game is now available only for single player missions.

    Let it be known, amongst you Classholes, that @Wooden Spoon tried to attack me, unprovoked while I was working today. His aggression can not be tolerated. There will be gifts!

    So @DaringDirk was apparently so overcome with emotion over the newfound 19.2 GB on his hard drive that he had to go take a nice relaxing bubble bath.

    But as he stepped away from the PC, he stopped long enough to lob a steam key at me. "19.2GB," he sniffled. "That's like another whole game."

    Thanks for Lucid! I can't tell immediately whether this is going to be a nice, casual game to play before bed... or if it's going to make me want to murderize people...

    Page 12, here I come! What to say about 12. I guess I hope it is a nice page. 11 wasn't bad though. And I still have 12, 13, 14, 15. This seem appropriate Roll On.

    So for those of us who like to use our DualShock 3 as a PC controller, have we found a better tool than MotionInJoy yet? Preferably, one that doesn't require a connection to the internet...
    @cooljammer00 try this http://betterds3.ciebiera.net/
    How is BPM (Big Picture Mode) and a controller? I have my computer hooked to my 54 inch to watch Hulu, but haven't tried steam. DoctorArch was classy and gave me Sonic, does the thread think that would work good? My girl said she likes sonic too. I guess what is the recommended controller?

    Yes, for not knowing a reference to the sound made when doing a special. Oh Street Fighter, I had a friend in HS, he would kick everyone butt so hard, I don't I ever saw him do it, but claimed he would still win one handed. Somehow I wouldn't doubt it.

    Of course it was me. If ever you're thinking "Hey, wasn't someone at PA recently gifted <insert any game here>" your first thought should be Luchaire, and you'll probably be right. :P
    In the particular case, @HiT BiT threw SS4AE at me because I was guilty of not knowing what "quarter-circle-forward" meant...
    But do you know the Konami Code ? No Bing/Google/Dog Pile/etc. Just yes or no. If yes, what is it?

    @Drunken Bastard
    Hence my Bioware credo:
    "Play it on easy " (TM)
    Really good games but the combat...brrrrr
    Worst offender was Jade Empire. Fun game but not if you took the combat system seriously.
    I swear I played that on hard and did ok. I had to learn what they game wanted me to do, but was possible.

    I love SSFIV for a lot of the same reasons I love the new MK. I'm not terribly good at them (not terribly bad either), but they hit all the right nostalgia notes. The easy to learn/hard to master gameplay, character roster, music, art style. All takes me back to being 12 and playing stuff like SFII and MKII on the SNES.
    My mom hated mortal combat. I played old version on computer, and when she wasn't around. I had no idea what fatalities were though. Was always sub zero. I also have a fond memory of killer instinct.

    Interludes
    So I figured. As I pick a lot of posts, you could almost consider my post a recap. Lol, so what happened on page twelve? Read all about it right here!
    @Albino Bunny
    They really should give you an in-game title like 'Cult of the Newell' or some such for Steam purchase. Would be fitting.
    But unless you are in the steam thread, would you get it?

    And that is it folks. Page 12. A little talking about Tekken verses SF, hum. I like SF, but as I said above Mortal Combat and Killer Instinct deserve some love to. Be back for Page 13.

    Origin isn't awesome. But it's not horrible either. I launch ME3 through Steam and hardly even know Origin is doing its thing, quietly, in the background.

    Yeah but that thing is making meth for the EA employees.

    Origin is terribad. Not as bad as, say, Ubisoft's weird ass thing.

    ME is a great series, up till the terrible botched ending. The multi is fun, sparingly. Sad it's on Origin though.

    Well, had a nice little two week break from work and was even able to chip a game off the backlog (just one, sadly, but it's a start). Alas, it's coming to a close and no Summer Dale in sight, and participation will be slim with schoolwork in the evenings for the next month. IT certification is a harsh and demanding mistress.

    Wallet's loaded just in case, but I hope it doesn't start tomorrow, that would be just mean.

    I don't understand. What makes Origin "terribad"? Besides just general "EA is evil/shit/whatever"?

    I've never had any issues with it, but I don't use it for anything except to sit down and be quiet while I play its games (ME series, Kingdoms of Amalur, and one or two other things I can't remember) - and even then I just launch the games through Steam, Origin logs me in, and I never even really know it's running. I don't need it to do anything else, and it doesn't seem to mind. What am I missing?
