So, uh, i've decided I would like to attempt to continue my playthrough of Duke Nukem Forever, and I was immediately reminded of why I quit the first time around. I'm somewhere in The Hive, Part 2 and I simply can't get past a certain combat section. I run out of ammo most trys, and even with some crafty maneuvering I can't seem to finish this section.

I decided to look for saves so I could just skip that section. I found some, but none of them work. When I go to select a chapter, none are unlocked. Would anyone have any ideas as to why? Are saves encrypted for the account that

Sad news. I liked the concept, it was just too slow. I was looking forward to buying DLC this christmas. I hope they are all fine even if winter voices remains incomplete.

Anyone have Bethesda or Skyrim codes you haven't used yet? I really should have jumped on this when it was a deal.

Even though I clicked the best value (7 day trial) it still asks me payment method.

You need to provide a payment option regardless, it just doesn't charge you.

I assume they hope some people will forget to cancel and have to pay after the week is over. Also to prevent people from just signing up with junk emails over and over again.

Ah so paying won't be automatic then? Or do I have to cancel quickly? I only want the codes after all.

It's on auto renew by default but you just go to your account settings and can cancel straight from there, so it's not a problem. It won't charge you until the 10th (That's what it said for me at least)

Sweet. I was even able to use my long neglected paypal account. I can't remember the last time there were funds in there.

Thanks for the tip!

Ahh fuck it, I'm just gonna hide it in this post, going to bed. Please post if you use the key, so others will stop trying.

The only worthwhile coupon I have from the Winter Sale is 50% off The Ball. Is it worth it?

Also, a while ago I bought a copy of Portal 2 for the PS3. I linked my PS3 account to my Steam account, but when I tried to use Steam to download my free Steam copy of Portal 2 it said my code had already been redeemed. Is there any way I can work around this or am I stuck playing it on PS3?

shhh Graham I'm still compiling this Radiant map
Anyone else have this issue with Steam screenshots vanishing after exiting a game? I took a few of Catwoman: Arkham City and as soon as I stopped playing they were nowhere on my account. New Vegas always gave me that problem as well.

Not the end of the world or anything, I know I can avoid that by uploading them while in-game. Just curious is all. None of my friends have ever had this happen to them.

Sweet! I was this close to buying Hamilton's Great Adventure during the sale seeing how highly GAF talks about it, but I knew that one day or another I'd be able to get it for free. Thanks a lot!
This reinforces my "not buying indie games anymore outside of bundles" position.

Thanks so much for posting this! $25 during the sale was a little too much for me, but this is right in the comfort zone.

Nice price, but is it any good?

I've played through the demo at least 10 times since it was released in September :) There's just something really satisfying about the way the game handles absurd levels of violence. Good, dumb, mass ork-murderin' fun. Give the demo a shot if you're on the fence about it.

Bought. Not really a fan of the universe, but for $12 I'll buy a lot. Hope it's good when I play it a year from now.

Woah, for some reason my bank won't authorize the transaction. Weird. Gonna try through PayPal.

Edit: Fuck, I need to verify my paypal account. What a pain. Who the hell has checks anymore dammit.

If someone would buy it for me, I would paypal the funds. I would pay first, of course.

Bah. I decided to verify my Witcher 2 cache as I couldn't access any DLC that was later patched in (e.g. The Troll Contract wouldn't show up as a quest despite accepting it from the notice board and the Mysterious Merchant is nowhere to be found despite being displayed on the map), but this just prompted Steam to re-download 12GB of the game.

I thought the content delivery update a while back was supposed to fix issues like the Witcher 2's insane update downloads? I guess it didn't make much difference.

I believe it's being rolled out on a per-game basis, though I don't know if The Witcher 2 content is (supposed to be) delivered via the new system.

TW2 Just hates Steam, which is funny considering it sold the most on there >.<
