but I went looking for, and found, a tool to check how many people in a given group own a given game.
For example, of the 674 people in Adventure Time, only 3 own Advent Rising. That's one copy for every 224 (ish) persons!
(the takeaway from this example is that more people should own Advent Rising, so I can make badges :P )

I don't understand the logic behind not giving any of the quake games a decent sale during the QUAKECON SALE.
Or that the QUAKECON bundle has no actual Quake games in it.
I also saw pictures of guys at Quakecon playing WoW and Smite. Why do they even call it Quakecon?
Nothing makes sense anymore.
Because Doomcon makes even less sense these days?
Fake edit: RAGECON
Nah its cool, theyre making a new Doom.
I dont know why every time I see a Bethesda sale I get my hopes up about seeing the Skyrim DLC go on sale at the same percentage as the Legendary Edition because every time that doesnt happen. Its $10 cheaper for me to rebuy the base game and get the DLC than it is for me to just get the DLC.
Well, not fruit exactly, but still tasty treats in the form of a well-regarded Diablolike killing damn dirty vampires (et al.) and a Drake Approved (TM) procedurally-generated murder mystery.
Thanks, Gear Girl!
EDITx2: That makes it 39 forumers since the gift policy reset! Wow. Seems a shame to have the giveaways be on a different number...
how much does the Skyrim DLC add to the game? and is it interesting enough that I need to play it? another playthrough is going to take me at least 100 hours, I loved Skyrim but I have so many games I haven't yet played

In order of content? Dragonborn>Dawnguard>Hearthfire. Just buy legendary during the next steam sale, because lol Bethesda pricing.
yeah, it's on sale now for £6.79 so it would be all of it I'm buying, the legendary edition is cheaper than buying either of the main DLC's but really I just want to know if the DLC is good and adds enough to Skyrim that it is worth my time playing through it again. I loved it but I also have (as everyone else here does) far more games than I have time to play

Ugh, this reminds me I still have to find out why Skyrim keeps bugging out on me in the intro. The Stormcloak guy never talks to me, which means that when we get to Helgen where the carriages are supposed to stop nothing happens. I figured it was one of my mods, but I uninstalled all of them and it still happened.
I'm half temped to say screw it and install a alternate start mod, but I feel compelled to start the game the way the makers intended.
@Iolo is (as everyone already knows!) awesome. Just gifted me Skyward Collapse out of the blue!
His spontaneous generosity reminds me: I have a copy of FTL, and I've had a hell of a time giving it away. Anyone out there who doesn't have it? Send me a PM, if so.
Skyrim is the same price right now as it was during the summer sale daily, so it's a fair time to pick it up if you like. I can't tell you whether Dawnguard or Dragonborn is any good, because I haven't started those or the main quest because I'm too busy building a goddamn house. The world's crises can wait, but deciding between an alchemy tower and a storeroom absolutely cannot.
It's not uncommon for games to store the save files in the Appdata folder.
I can't think of any major titles that do. Maybe indies by new/inexperienced devs who don't know any better. I have bazillions of games that all save their games in the My Docs folder somewhere. As they should.
Personally, save games in the Documents folder annoys me. My Documents folder contains 60+ folders for games/game devs and it's a huge mess.
I don't need to access save files outside of games often enough that that mess makes sense. I would much rather have them in an out of sight location, such as the AppData folder. Or even better, in the Saved Games folder introduced in Windows Vista, that for some reason very few games make use of.
Some devs use Documents\My Games, which is admittedly less messy.

Hearthfire is a little one that adds several areas to build a huge house to put all your shit you'll never look at again
also you can be a terrible parent to orphans
Dawnguard is all about super vampires and it's pretty good, adds skill trees for vampirism and lycanthropy to make them more useful, and there's a great easteregg or two in it also
Dragonborn I haven't got to yet, but I hear it's even better, you go back to a few parts of Morrowind I believe, and of course both this and Dawnguard add more items and shouts

Yes, abuse of the documents folder annoys me so much. I wrote a script that moves all my save game folders to the Windows "Saved Games" folder and creates hidden junctions. Games still work, but I don't have to look at all their crap.
Re: AppData, just looking at my save game list, it is indeed mostly indie titles that use that folder, with one major exception. A lot of (all?) of GOG.com's games put their saves in AppData/Local/GOG.com.

All this talk of upgrades makes me glad that the insane scramble for increased graphical and cpu power is nowhere near as bad as it was 5-10 years ago. My 5 year old store-bought PC is plugging away quite nicely, and I'm sure that even just adding a SSD would be a pretty significant boost.

Yeah, I mean, I upgrade my GPU regularly, but I'm still rolling along with a real early Sandy Bridge i5 and haven't felt any bottlenecks that would make me itch to upgrade. Having an SSD makes a biiiig difference all around, though.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

Yep. I mean, heck, I got six years out of a Core 2 Duo E8400 and 4GB of DDR2 RAM (with one GPU upgrade in the middle). I'm hoping to get similarly good mileage out of this build.

I would've got significantly longer out of my old (circa 2008 Dell Studio) laptop if it had just had another quarter-gig of VRAM. Core 2 Duo T5900, 3GB RAM, Radeon HD3450 with 256MB. It was that 256MB that hamstrung it badly; lots of stuff came out that would've run fine on it otherwise but required 512MB minimum. Still, it did me pretty well for a while. Left 4 Dead was excellent on it (L4D2 was too if I turned a few things down a bit), and I even coaxed it into being able to play Mass Effect 2 in a playable fashion. But anything beyond that was a no-go, really.
Games may have left it behind but I still use it as my iTunes repository even now, as my current laptop only has a 256GB SSD and space is at a bit of a premium on it, as my plans to bung a 1TB HDD in it as well have yet to come to fruition. I'm hoping this machine can last me a bit longer (Core i7-2760QM, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Radeon HD6990 w/2GB GDDR5).
for those playing Watch Dogs, I know @Big Classy & @Pixelated Pixie are, I tried this seetfx setting today and for me it makes the game look much prettier, days are more vibrant and nights are darker. I don't seem to have taken an fps hit either and I have everything on ultra apart from textures because I "only" have a 2GB gfx card

I'm lucky enough that I've got 512 of Vram on my 9600GT, so it's just enough for everything to be played at at least a solid 30fps. I might have to drop the resolution and quality down a lot, but even newer stuff like Bioshock Infinite runs great at very low graphic settings, and still looks great at 50-60 fps.

Since you're talking about computers, mine is about 3.5 years old and I've been noticing some slowdown in modern games. I was probably going to wait until no man's sky came out before I upgraded, but I'm wondering if I would be better served just getting a new video card now, or if my machine is old enough that it's not worth performing a stop-gap.

I remember playing it back at the E3 before it came out (before E3 restuctured), and won a tshirt for winning my group.
There was one major thing about Dawnguard that utterly confused me the way it was handled. Don't click if you don't want spoiler.
When you wake up Serana for the first time, after being told about a dangerous thing the vampires were seeking, you also see that she has an Elder Scroll on her back and she wants you to escort her back to her father's castle, otherwise known as the abode of the most dangerous vampires in Skyrim.
Want to know what my first reaction was upon hearing that a vampire wanted me to hand-deliver her and a weapon of mythic proportion to her evil vampire daddy? I tried to kill her. Repeatedly. And I couldn't because she was an immortal quest NPC and I had no options to remove that protection through dialogue. If there was any sort of logic in this addon then the Dawnguard side would have allowed me to destroy her and the scroll because why the hell would I, a vampire hunter, let her go?
