Battleblock Theatre is good fun, now if I just had more than friends that were in the beta to play with.
 
I got it from a bundle, played the first 15 minutes and then uninstalled it. I don't even know if it's bad, but I didn't feel like wasting my time with it when I could be playing much better stuff.
That's definitely my recommendation for how to play legendary, actually an even better way to play legendary would be to not install it at all because it's really bleh.

Ugh, I can't believe I finished that game.
I don't know why I finish so many bad games, apparently I hate myself.

Are you underleveled or something?
Everything dies pretty fast towards the end of each Act.
And enemies from previous chapters that were hard become middling at best (Vampire Knights for example).

I'm like level 13 in late Act 2. Does leveling do anything beyond unlocking new moves? Because it sure doesn't feel like it.
 
Oof.
I think I found my problem(Bioshock Infinite crashing after a few hours).
The video card is running red hot (nearly 100C!)

I don't know the first thing about fans though. Hrrmm.

Make sure your fans are running
Make sure there isn't anything obstructing the airflow
Take the GPU apart, clean the heatsink, and put on new thermal paste (this has worked wonders for me in the past)
If all else fails, apply a voltage downclock to reduce the temps.

I actually had to touch down the voltage/OC of my GPUs as the heat was causing failures. SLI kind of causes those issues naturally if you aren't using water cooling.

It felt like it did to me -- I'm not sure though -- but some of the moves you unlock might do more damage... with Act 2, all you need to do is abuse the hourglass subweapon if something is giving you trouble.
The vampire knights at the end of act 2 were a pain in the ass with Alucard... but when I ran into them with Trevor, they were cake (as long as I didn't try to tank through them).

Thanks. Gonna pick up some canned air and clean out the fans tommorrow.
Probably going to look into a cooling unit of some sort as well.
There's a fan on top of the PC that never seems to be running. Not sure what the deal is with that.

I've got to say, I think I'm falling in love with DOTA 2. I've watched quite a few matches and played a couple of games, and I 'get it ' now.
 
and I 'get it ' now.

what game is that in the gif?

The Inner World.

Hey JaseC, Valve fixed the background changing bug I was bothering you with - thanks for everybody involved! :)

Now if Valve would only fix up the javascript involved when inviting someone to a group so I can do so using Firefox, haha.

im drinking a beer and I just remember that one time JaseC actually posted in the drunk thread

that was wild

I go where I'm needed.

Wow, when did that get broken? I swear that was working around January. I can't remember if I was inviting though the client or cyberfox though. :/

I've had the problem since the current Steam Community entered beta almost a year ago; Internet Explorer is a no go, too. When I click "Invite to join your group", the selection window pops up briefly, albeit unpopulated, and then I'm taken to a page that just says "[object Object]". Chrome works just fine and I have it installed on my laptop for this reason, but not once have I been able to invite somebody to a group using FF/IE.

I really wonder how much the bad rats developer made during a steam sale. It seems that everyone is buying it as a prank gift.

I just realised my Ridge Racer: Driftopia beta key was revoked. I was wondering why my game count went down by one a while back. Why Scamco felt a revoke was necessary for an F2P game, I don't know.

Is it possible to say saorice ronan and not sound drunk? It's like it has speech slurring built in
