    The news of Ryan Davis's untimely passing put me in a serious funk at work today. Dude was awesome. And two years younger than me. *sigh*

    Anyway, I meant to do this earlier. Might as well end this on a positive note. I'm giving away two copies of Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed:

    Ah well. Next time.

    Given how many free copies of the ship were floating around in the last year, this is probably a good thing. And probably your only way of getting rid of it.

    Hey it won't be a waste to the person who plays it.

    There were just a lot for a while because everyone got two free gift copies that, in turn, would spawn free gift copies for the recipient.

    I advise you to grab this while you can.

    Thats not the right Sonic Racing game you'll want, I can't say how good that one is, but the one you'll want is Sonic & Sega All-stars racing transformed. The transformed is important.

    Oh son of a bitch, I just ordered the bundle before reading your comment. Teach me to order hastily in the future.

    No, I'll probably never learn that...

    so I don't know if it was something in the update for the free weekend or server strain from all the new players or what

    but the there's some wonky stuff going on with sonic racing transformed

    most notably it's really hard/impossible to join a friend's game unless it's a private one, and even then it's tricky

    hopefully it'll be sorted out soon because I just gifted it to a bunch of people

    and the first sonic racing is still a fun little cart racer, albeit a single-player one... you'll just want to keep an eye out for when the new one goes on sale again

    Easily worth it. It manages to feel like the classic Genesis games in the classic levels, and hits the best notes of the adventure games in the modern.

    ... I think steam just wiped out all my FTL progress.

    I couldn't remember which computer I'd played FTL on. I loaded it up one, and it was a brand new account, nothing unlocked.

    So I loaded it up on the other, and it popped up a little message saying "Hey, the file you have is older than what is on the cloud, do you want to over write?" and I said "No, don't copy anything right now" while I tried to investigate. It said I would have to make a decision the next time I started the program.

    I finally figured out that this was the one I wanted to use, and restarted the program...and it didn't ask me. In fact, it had (apparently?) just downloaded the one on the cloud (which had no progress at all...how?) and wiped out all my unlocked ships.

    WTF?

    I am sick and tired of this bullshit. I just got through losing tons and tons of saves from my PS3 due to Sony's incompetence. How can steams' cloud thing be such utter shit?

    I had a backup I made manually but jesus...what if I hadn't?

    I should have known better than to make fun of soccer. Even if I didn't mean it (soccer > American football any day). Yep, totally should have known it would get me in trouble.

    Damn you, @Spoit. Damn you.

    I exited The Secret World (CharGen, of course) to discover a Steam polyp.

    This one required a bit of .... editing... to cobble together because Spoit managed to break the goddamn gift window. :shock:

    Honestly as far as I can tell cloud saving is shit about as often as it's useful. Games need to be far more scrupulous about what they overwrite and so on. Steam shouldn't just say "hey, want to replace a newer thing with an older thing?" They should just say "which save do you want to load, X or Y? Whichever you choose, we'll keep a local copy of the alternative in case you chose wrong."

    Really? You think 10$ is getting the shaft? Considering Sonic Adventure DX or Adventure 2 would cost JUST that, I'm pretty sure there is no shafting going on. Hell, I paid 7$ for just Sonic Adventure DX (well, to be fair @Luchaire did, but I would have) and another 7 for Generations because they're just that good.

    What monsters we've become because of Steam sales!

    @Jungleskye The lowest I've seen Tomb Raider was at 14$ on GMG a few weeks ago, so I'd say maaaaaaybe it might be cheaper, but I'd get the guaranteed 17$ instead of the maybe. It's worth 60$, and maybe even more than that.

    I don't think anyone really looks for boosters when they buy, you might as well open it and sell the individual cards.

    How to tell if a booster is more valuable than any 3 cards you can get: search the market for "(gamenamehere) card" and find the lowest non-foil card price. Triple that. Now look for the booster. If the tripled value is higher, by all means, crack that booster and profit. If not, put the booster up and let some other asshole take the risk of losing money.

    Or if you're a compulsive gambler, crack that bitch and keep going!

    Steam Cloud has mostly been good to me, but I've had a few bad moments here and there. Plants vs. Zombies had a major screwup that erased almost everybody's saves. I was somehow able to recover mine and my fiancee's, but ugh. They could definitely do a lot better.
