    You people are monsters! Stop making me want to buy games that I already don't play enough of again. I could be ignoring the backlog I already have!

    My first steam sale, and I acquired about fifty games. Not to mention the hundreds I've bought over the last few months. I think I have a problem, steam thread. Anyway, does anyone want Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse? I have an extra code laying around. Send me a PM and I'll give you the code.

    I just had one of the biggest presentations of my career, and all I want to do is just brain dump for hours into Faerie Solitaire.
    Or maybe Dear Esther. Just something mentally soothing which requires as little of my brain cells to fire as possible.

    Has anyone had a hard time getting prototype to run smoothly and now how to make it work? I decided to lean into for the first time last night and all it did was stutter in every cinema sequence. My computer can run most everything at highest settings but both Prototype and Mirror's Edge stutter and then come to a crawl.

    Maybe they just aren't friendly to my Nvidia card?

    I've nearly finished the 'adventure' for Faerie Solitaire and I have to say it's getting a little bit annoying, which is kind of weird to say...because, well, Solitaire. Who am I getting annoyed at? Not me--prepositions are okay at the end of sentences. It might just be too much gimmick solitaire at once.

    Does PinballFX2 have controller support? All this talk makes me want to play it...

    Yes it does. Pinball with kbam wouldn't be the same as pulling triggers.

    I'd suggest using the shoulder buttons instead of the triggers, maybe using triggers could account for your input delay?

    That's not a bad idea. I'll give that a try tonight.

    I am going through adventure mode as well, and I certainly feel there is a repetitive element to it. I only play a 'level' or maybe two when I dig in. Can't grind solitaire, no sir.

    True that, Steam Support sucks a bowling ball through a drink straw. The only answers I've gotten from them have been incorrect or non-answers.

    I guess @Luchaire, if you don't hear from them in a few days (and give it a few days don't flood them with tickets) email GabeN himself.

    Yes. I use my CC or the wallet pretty interchangeably. But I was using the wallet at the time they locked my account (bought up a bunch of cards on the market). Now I can't use CC, wallet, or paypal. And it's nothing to do with my CC or anything else on my end. My bank doesn't bat an eye at a hundred $2 purchases in a day even.
