Thanks again, @Iolo! You are one classy fellow. A classy fellow who apparently enjoys spreading terror among forumites but we love 'im anyway.
I have the house to myself tomorrow evening so I might get a chance to dive in then. If not, then this weekend. In either case, I will have handy a large, thick blanket to hide under on demand.
(Edit: to preempt more warning messages: the ship-to address in the pic is not mine. Don't get any funny ideas. That's the local post office. For whatever reason, Amazon shipped via UPS to the USPS, and the USPS was supposed to deliver to me. The UPS guy apparently thought that was stupid (it is) and bypassed the USPS and delivered it straight to me (since he had to drive right by my workplace to get to the post office). That guy deserves a raise: the package would have been an extra day shipping otherwise.
Been a busy couple of weeks, so barely started back gaming. Visiting Baltimore was nice, though.
Started FFXIII last night and played it for an hour or so. I'm enjoying it so far, great presentation. Kinda sad about the lack of image quality and other options (and ESC as a kill-game button), but the game itself seems to be taking off nicely.

Then run the program. If it's running, your FF XIII will have all the pretties, 1080 happiness. Then, use a controller instead of your keyboard, and you're all set!

Oh my, you are in for a treat!
After all the recent chat in here, I was compelled to re-watch Alien a couple of nights back. So good.
And now I'm just going to have to re-watch Aliens too. Such a hard life!

Not ALL the pretties. If you want ALL the pretties you have to edit the GeDoSaTo settings for FF13. He didn't set a higher shadow scale resolution by default (put it on at least 4, preferably 8) and iirc, the AA is set to 4x with no CSAA by default too. So unless you want ugly blocky shadows and inferior AA, dig into the INI.
Edit: to preempt more warning messages: the ship-to address in the pic is not mine. Don't get any funny ideas.
The only way anyone could get any funny ideas is if a forumer knew an actual address for you.
Good thing no one here has that info.
Nope.
No one at all.
And unless that no one wants to have terrible, terrible things happen to him, he will keep that information confidential under all circumstances. Just sayin.

Luch you know I would never betray such information for less than fifty TF2 keys.

I actually have a growing collection of PA forumer addresses.
All part of the plan, you see.
The only appropriate response to this would be a preemptive strike. There may be a bit of mutually assured annihilation involved, but if we keep sending wave after wave of bodies at her, we'll eventually overpower and overcome!

Is that why you send out free computer parts to forumers in need as you did for me? Because I'm okay with this trade-off.

As a Steam related question, I seem to be having trouble logging in while I'm in the office now. Possibly the IT guy got around to finally blocking it but is there any way I can confirm this without straight up asking him? I can use the site and I used to be able to fire up offline mode. I've tried deleting Steam and reinstalling and now this is the error I get:
I should note that I decided to do what I did with Elite: Dangerous and didn't use Jazz, or any variation thereof, for my in-game character name. "Jazz" itself is always taken because it was frankly a poor choice of handle back in the day; having the "MX5" suffix like on my Steam handle (yes, I used to own a Mazda MX-5/Miata and one day I'd like another one) never fits in-character in a game world, so I looked elsewhere when I did all my signing-up for Elite (which was ages ago now).
There's also the minor detail that many of those backing/playing Star Citizen are likely to be Wing Commander fans from of old, and so calling yourself "Jazz" would have them lining up around the block to punch you in the face.
Point. I hadn't thought of that. (It's been a very, very long time since I played the early WCs, I'd completely forgotten.) I guess there's only so many "I like Transformers and Kim Newman novels written under a pseudonym!" messages I can send. Probably easier just to (not have to) say "Mass Effect" and be done with it.

You know what I'd watch? You streaming yourself watching Alien/Aliens for the first time ever. :twisted:
Hugs and Words about it. Mostly Hugs. Maybe words later. Hugs.
And now is the PERFECT time to purchase/play the Citadel DLC.
What else do I need?
I'd recommend Leviathan as well, that one's really good. I do like Omega, but honestly it's the weakest one and you can take it or leave it. Citadel's the most important one; absolutely vital but, as we've discussed, best left until after you've finished ME3 without it.
Reminder these are going. Set to end tomorrow around 10am pacific I believe.

Oh yeah, I just remembered I picked up Wing Commander III free from Origin. Should probably grab the first two from GoG and see what caused this big cult following...
(Also, just found out why the Origin WCIII install was so big. It has its own copy of DOSbox stuck inside it. I wonder if I can just run it from my own DOSbox that I got for TES: Arena...)

Surely DOSbox is tiny compared to a 4 CD-ROM game?
But yeah, you should be able to... although the version bundled with the game should already be set up for it, no (or minimal) tinkering required. WCIII was a landmark in its time, technologically - it was the Crysis-like system-breaker of its day - but I'm not sure it's aged as well as WCI or WCII.

I've been playing a bit of Alien: Isolation. I'm finding it difficult to play in anything but short bursts.
The tension is high, and the occasional frustration at either not being sure where to go, or where every turn seems to end in death makes me set down my controller and walk away for a while.
Also, this ends Friday.
Usual rules apply. Don't be a spy. Don't be shy, and enter.

Hot damn, 4 CDs? I must have seriously underestimated the amount of content in that game. Though that'd probably go some way to explaining it's popularity.

I can't say for sure but I'm going to guess it comes down to the FMV before things could be properly compressed. I never played WC3 but the videos were a major selling point.

Exactly. The video compression quality is appaling compared to pretty much anything since, but having not only that much FMV but also branching conversations, in an action game, was practically unheard of at the time.
Good cast, too. Mark Hamill is the headliner, Ginger Lynn Allen (as she's credited in the game) is the controversial one, but Tom "Biff out of Back to the Future" Wilson is the most amazing in it. Malcolm McDowell is great too; and there's a lot of character actors with familiar faces in it.

Well, it's a fantastic game, but the 4 CDs are because of the FMV.
