    Not enough of you savages are rushing out to buy Salvation Prophecy. So screw you. I bought a copy for you.

    Well, one of you anyway.

    Which one, though?

    Hell if I know.

    Time for a short and dirty CONTEST! I'm not generally a fan of short and dirty, but hey, let's try it anyway. ;)

    Want to win? Here's whatcha gotta do. Head on over to the official website. I'll even link you. Here. See? http://www.salvationprophecy.com

    Peruse, prowl, and perspicate over the website (yes, I made that word up). Answer me these 5 questions in a PM:

    1. What's the highest rank your character can rise to if you play the Drone Unity faction?
    2. What is the "Zaptastic" mission badge awarded for?
    3. Who gets the "Ghost" skill and what does it do?
    4. What happened in AD 2503?
    5. Which faction will you choose... and why?
    (edit: hint: all answers can be found in the "features" section)

    Correct answers will get you an entry to a drawing to be held Friday night at around 8 pm EST... or just over 48 hours from now. Winner of that drawing gets to play an amazing game.

    It seems like I'm hearing the same few songs in Saints Row 4, which is a shame. But at least it's getting me to switch around the stations more to avoid repetition.

    Also collecting these clusters is a great way to distract me and keep me from thinking about this allergic reaction I'm having/these hives on my neck and chest. I just love the mobility in the game. It's like a more fun Prototype.

    That one time. Wish they'd bring it backd

    That was my first sale. I was introduced to the magic that was gifting during those two blissful weeks.

    And then my credit card bill arrived and I had a stroke. Good thing I can buy Steambux in Canada now.

    eh I think those games are too similar, I think it helps to space out similar games instead of just playing them all in a row, especially if you're 100%ing them.

    Happy to see Salvation Prophecy is doing well on Steam, right above Borderlands 2 GOTY at number #19.

    I, for one, enjoyed the Mako.

    Man, Shadow Warrior is great and all, but I was sold in part by the promise of Wang puns. So far it hasn't delivered on tha- hang on a sec, gotta fight some dudes.

    *fight ends*

    "Guess I was just too much Wang for them to handle."

    ...Shadow Warrior, you and I are gonna get along famously.

    (Seriously, this game is crazy fun so far. Easily some of the best first person melee I've seen in a long time.)

    Call of Juarez Gunslinger for 7.50 http://getgamesgo.com/product/call-of-juarez-gunslinger

    First decent deal I think. Appears to come with a Steam key, which is a bit rare for Ubi games but their smaller titles often do it seems like.


    Edit: This deal is apparently not for Americans despite being featured on GGG's US website in dollar currency. Americans can feel like the rest of the world does with Amazon by using a fake address, I used one on the UK.

    You might have had a surge after the power came on, that blew those components. Suggest you:
    a) Turn it all off and on again
    b) Try it on a different socket, just in case
    c) Possibly start shenanigans with a voltmeter and see if the power supply to the PC is taking power
    d) Be prepared for the surge to have slagged your electronics.

    But absolutely start with turning it off and on again and going to bed.

    ETA: And, as @Inquisitor says, check the trip switches in your breaker box, just in case - totally spaced that, but it's a good idea.

    Have you checked your breakers? It's possible that the different plugs on a single socket are actually on different breakers. (Some electrical set ups are pretty weird).

    Heaters, being things that use a lot of electricity, often are on a separate line from the panel, assuming the house/apartment was set up with that socket being planned as being the one the heater would plug into.

    The Terraria patch has (mostly) prevented further steam purchases for a time. I need to get back to ironside tactics, and i did pick up bionic dues. I've actually spent more on steam games this year then i ever have but it kind of worked out since for the most part there havent been much in the way of console releases this year (in prep for the new gen consoles i guess). The only thing really grabbing my attention in the last few months will be the new batman game.

    Looks like the new IndieGala has got the lead out.
    Staazius and a couple of other bits for $1
    Included for $5 - Fairy Bloom Freesia, Two Worlds II + DLC, Gorky 17, Knights of Pen and Paper, Ether Vapor Remastered (which I think got the @Drake seal of approval a while back?) and frickin' Crusader Kings II.

    Go now, and get CKII for $5. And the other stuff. (Looks like it's $5 for the next 8 hours)

    i know if the Wii lost power, you had to completley unplug everything, power plug and the place where the plug goes into the wii and leave it off for like an hour and then replug it all back in since the ac adapter had a surge protector in it or something like that

    Hey everyone, Enslaved is coming to the PC. It suffered from massive tearing on consoles and a bonkers ending but you should play it when it's out cause it'll probably be better.

    Also Salvation Prophecy seems like a more badass Strike Suit game with ground combat

    Yesterday I see a little red indicator on my inbox. Huh, what could that be...I was poking Geth in a D&D thread, but nah, couldn't be that.

    What's this? @DoctorArch got me Space Pirates and Zombies (and Bounty Hunters)? Out of the blue off my wishlist.

    Awesome! I got about 20-30 minutes in this morning before work and it was a heckuva lot of fun. I'm really looking forward to getting some time this weekend to play.

    What a great birthday present! Thanks Doc!

    Haha my day went from being the worst of the year to "actually t this is going really well".

    It turns out I am really tired and when the power went out it kind of threw me off even more. I pushed the power button on the ps 3 first and when that didn't work I then pressed the power button on a PC case. Not the PC case that has the actual components in. Nope, the old case that has nothing but a motherboard.

    As for the PS3, apparently it just needed cooling off or something like mts mentioned. Works like a champ now. Sorry for that but hey, something else to tease me about :lol:
