    Had a Pinball update this morning and now all it does is crash. Verified files and now crashing quicker. Fingers cross rebooting fixes it.

    Same thing. Gets to like the table screen and poops the bed.

    Crap, this makes me reluctant to get back to my Ms. 'Splosion Man save before the problem is fixed. I'm at 88 million points, first ball is down, and I have an extra ball already stacked up.

    I don't like to ask for help, but I'm in serious trouble right now.

    Somebody call the authorities and tell them @Malakaius has me at Gunpoint. If he makes a break for it, tell the police he's wearing a top hat and monocle. Let them know the suspect is armed and classy!

    Uh-oh. I went to scoop up the Monkey Island games for the sale and I noticed Sid Meier's Pirates is 2.50.

    I don't even recall adding it to my cart. I just blacked out for a second and when I came to my receipt was bigger than I had remembered.

    Ummm wow. I just started following this thread thanks to Houn (as mentioned earlier, he's great!), but you guys really are very awesome.

    Seriously, feel proud, this is one of the best sub-communities in the grand PA forums community (which is already pretty nice). I'm impressed!

    Street Fighter X Tekken is a weekend deal and I just want to mention that it's not that good and if you want to play a fighting game Street Fighter 4 and Skullgirls are both better.

    I have certainly heard this, and when I rented SF x Tekken for the 360 I wasn't very impressed. It's too bad Capcom hasn't ported Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 to the PC.

    I honestly believe people who say this didn't play it much or give it a shot. It had a lot of negative press because of DLC shenanigans true, but the game itself is stellar and uses a modified SF4 engine. I played it heavily for awhile after release and it's a great cross between MvC3 and SF4 without the MvC shenanigans. The last patch also tweaked out some of the only balance issues (life bar regen mostly) and sped it up, so it's pretty top notch.

    Grrrrr...you're going to make me take another look at the game aren't you? :P

    Checked out the Pirate Day sale, and while Port Royale 3 has always been tempting (I loved Port Royale 2), that terrible Metacritic score as well as every review saying it's boring never fails to turn me off the game.

    Sumanai gifted me a copy of Excalibur back. I guess thats what I get for not buying it for myself before sending it out as a gift. I asked him to tell me how good it was, but instead he just got me a copy. Its either super good or horrendous, we'll find out.

    You get issued a monocle when you join.

    The joining requirements are very stringent: you have to hang around here and talk games with us often enough that we're reasonably certain that you aren't a Russian spy.

    It's The PA G&T Adventure Team Steam Group. A lot of us limit entry to our giveaways to members of either the Adventure Team or the more general Penny Arcade Steam Group. Basically, hang out in the thread, post some, prove you're not a secret Russian here to steal game giveaways, and you'll get an invite.

    (Note: having met Kime, he would be the worst Russian. He's so polite he's practically a Canadian.)

    Say, can anyone give me the lowdown on using my saves from different pcs? So for example if I wanted to play the same Terraria character at work and at home, is there some setting that I can turn on so that the same save is available to me no matter what computer I'm using?

    I think you should be able to do that automatically with any game that has steam cloud support.

    Steam Cloud is generally enabled by default, and this the feature you're likely looking for (provided both computers are hooked up to the internet). Not sure if Terraria has it or not.

    Hmm, yeah it's probably that some of these games don't have it. Rogue Legacy appears to not have it either.

    Terraria doesn't have Steam Cloud support.

    However, something you can do to... somewhat fix the issue, is to use either DropBox, SkyDrive or Google Drive's software to have a backed up folder in both PC's. You keep the real folder with the saves in that backed up directory, and replace the real one the game uses with a link to that one.

    (In theory it should work, though I haven't tried such a thing yet.)

    Dian gave me a copy of the Star Wars tables for Pinball FX2

    and shortly afterwards:

    Cloud gave me SCRIBBLENAUTS UNMASKED!


    on a related note: if you own Scribblenauts Unlimited, you currently get 35% off Scribblenauts Unmasked preorders, making it only $25.99!
