Well, it is just MS Excel masquerading as a game. :p
Well.. I'm not going to look at the dark side am I? :p

that was awesome combo, guys, really funny when I read them one after another

Is there any indication that Bound by Flame won't be terrible?

why would it be terrible? I thought it looks mildly interesting and Mars wasn't that bad, steamgaf even convinced me to buy it, I still haven't played it, though
 
GTAV pre-order to end the week with a bang.

Mars seemed pretty poor going by the giantbomb quick look but I'll admit I left my opinion of the game at that.

Max Payne 3 is 75% off again at GMG, in another attempt to get me to buy it. I really enjoyed the game, but seeing as I have it on the 360 I'll wait until it's 90% off.

Sell the 360 version, but they PC version. Zero net loss, but you gain the definitive version of Max Payne 3.

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
too much work, I just gave away some, still have about 5 games left, I think, not accounting for XBLA stuff.

Judging from eBay listings I should be able to get at least $200-$250. I'm not going to put the lot up on eBay, though: there's an alternative that's popular locally and, more importantly, completely free.

taking the summer off from school to figure out life stuff but also to play a metric fuckton more games.

I'm really excited about being able to finally wrap up dark souls 2 without school burning a hole in my conscience.

You should go back to school and figure things out while focusing on just passing classes.

I wish I had local alternative, I would sell some PS3 games too. Alas, I have not and I'm too lazy to do ebay or even try to sell on gaf
 
Just wondering how Sega is defining the region if it's just three countries being blocked. Konami was much more thorough in their definition of Asia.
SEGA made sure that the restrictions to be added on every game store and every sale, not just set the lock and forgot about it. Hell, even SEGA's humble bundle is locked, have you seen any HB that has done something like that?

listen to the mad man
Oh for sure. I think in my haste to rattle something off quickly I didn't spend enough time putting forward a constructive argument.

You read my post incorrectly, I was supporting your criticism of the industry and defending it from the implication that you asking developers to do something different was a form of artistic censorship.

That seems like a lot of effort to maintain a region lock. Why do they? Can it be circumvented in any way?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
So apparently Ireland is a part of Asia now. I never knew.

Have you ever heard gaelic? Almost any word would sound right at home at any take-out place.

1 order of crab rangoon and a large order of saoirse ronan chicken, please.

AtGames has the exclusive publishing rights(both for SEGA and Konami) to China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, don't know about Korea, the Japanese people got locked because their publishers like to screw with their own people.

The problem is, AtGames is not so keen on publishing PC games, so it's either the region locked retail version or nothing, and a lot of times the games don't get published at all.

So the only ways to get region free copies are VPNs and gifts.

I just can't get rid of games any more. I got rid of my dreamcast games when my console broke and regretted it instantly. Ended up buying everything again a few years later lol.

One of the most regrettable things I ever did was throw all my PS1 games in a black bin bag and threw them away. I still hate myself to this day for doing something so stupid.

So you can still play them, just not buy them? Can you redeem region-free keys as well?

AW YISS JUST GOT ALL PLAYFIRE REWARDS OF CROLIXU SIGMA!
Next up Velvet Assassin and Kung Fu Strike, then Gunhound EX!

I doubt there will be any real region free keys in the future. SEGA made sure they can't be redeemed within locked regions with Rome 2, which I got it through a trader.

Yay, managed to sell 2 more cards and make enough to get The Last Train Golden Edition. Now I just need to tear myself away from Diablo 3 long enough to play it and Gray Matter.
