Crashed after the first boss for me. Of course, I'm really pushing it with 4GB of RAM and a GPU w/ 1GB RAM.

The game is real pretty and fun though.

im not pushing anything and it still crashes :) both times after he loses 1 slot of life and breaks a little armor too
 
Make it Rain.

You sure about that? I haven't redeemed the code yet, but the page clearly states that it's for the Halloween DLC.

Yes I was excited as it was Halloween DLC...I play the game sometimes so wanted to check out the DLC but found it was Hero of Stormhold Pack DLC..well that's the name it showed when I activated the key

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Vita means life. My most played platform this year without contest.

The only way my brain can interpret this post is that you're using your vita as a stage to hold noncompetitive sports matches.

Now I'm just wondering how your vita isn't broken from being trambled on. Not like being able to turn it on is really necessary.

If you keep them as keys I don't think they will expire as the risk of rain are keys so keys cant expire..links can..or may be they can!

They could disable any unredeemed keys at that point if they wanted to, no telling if they will or not, but I'd assume they will.

Yeah, maybe. I've come to the realization that people are going to yell at me about stuff like this regardless of what it's labeled as though. It's just a matter of finding the right wording to make the most people happy.

Fair enough, though in this case I could see it being a more legitimate concern since someone unscrupulous could actually use a function similar to that to steal stuff from someone's inventory.

For you.
speaking of life, how far-fetched is the idea of a Senran Kagura game coming to Steam?

Not very likely at the moment I assume. I would pay highly to see how the community hub for that would look like. And the prices the cards would go for. And the backgrounds, oh, the backgrounds.


But I think we will get a Hatsane Miku game before we get Senran Kagura.

That's discouraging. I put my settings on High though, not very high. I doubt it helps since it seems like the game is at fault. Too bad.

I really wonder what the market for games like Senran Kagura are. I played the 3ds one and it felt like a shovelware game, right next to Neptunia...

You're right - I just tried to redeem it now. Oh well, one more for the GAF giveaway pile.

Not really hard to understand. A huge quantity of games, coupled with the fact I have a 3/4 hour commute everyday... Vita is freaking awesome.

The 3DS one was meh in my opinion. I liked the Vita one a lot though. Neptunia isn't so bad either. The first Neptunia was terrible but they improved on later titles.

Man, none of the $1 games interest me at all.

Also, this GOG-Lucasarts thing reminds me that I own Fate of Atlantis on Steam but never quite beat it. Also, I never managed to figure out the fighting controls (aside from "0" for a knock out). Anyone have any insight?

Yes they have the right and liberty to do so at anytime. May the developers want the game to spread out rather than a person holding a lot of keys.

Might not be the right place to ask but steam support hasn't gotten back to me yet. So I got a charge on my Amex for .99 cents from steam. Now this is weird because I don't even think my amex is linked to my steam account, my visa was listed. I may have used the card to buy something through steam before but nothing recently. I don't want to do a chargeback or anything because I hear that can lock your account or something.

Has anyone had anything similar happen. I'm just hoping it wasn't a test charge and I'm going to have like 400 dollars worth of games pop up.
 
yeah that too

doesn't help that est and pst and pcp and whatever have all different names depending on who you're talking with

it's stressful

That's why I have so many time zones in the clock on my phone. EST, PST, GMT, CET, and a shit ton of others I can't think of the acronym for.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Is that Amex card listed on your account page?

Ack, what happened? The last time I played was right after they added the artifacts that change aspects of your run (all enemies explode, all enemies are specials, etc).

With the last patch they switched over to a new engine, which apparently introduced a metric shitton of bugs, some of them pretty bad. Of course, whether or not you'll be affected by said bugs seems to be the luck of the draw. Some people were getting crashes on startup, there were controller issues, problems with climbing ropes and jumping, some folks reported severe slowdown where there was none before (despite the engine upgrade supposedly improving performance, which it apparently did - for some people), etc. So it was kind of a mess. (That patch also broke XP compatibility, for those unfortunate enough to be stuck on an older OS.) As of this afternoon, it looks like the devs are trying to address the worst of the problems that cropped up, which is reassuring, at least.

Yeah, read that. Too bad 'cause I like what I've played so far with the Rogue. Roll dodge + 3 hit combos = rekt enemies. And backstabbing deaf mutants too. Fun stuff.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
And then there's the state of Arizona that doesn't observe it at all. Good on them, but it further confuses people that have to do cross-state business there.

We need to just ditch this whole daylight savings time thing, globally.

Living in AZ I love that we don't have to fuck around with clocks like the rest of you.

The only downside is because we don't shift - the entire tv broadcasting schedule shifts an hour for us.

I can't even wrap my head around the sheer number of movies Marvel is able to pump out. Good god. I'm so behind.

Just remember, we're living in a time where we'll be getting a Black Panther, Captain Marvel and Inhumans movie, as well as a Luke Cage/Jessica Jones TV series. Let that sink in for a second.
