you can't be serious... or are you?
That was interesting, nothing mindblowing (in hardware department), but section of his favourite games is rather shocking. That's the first time I see Darklands mentioned as someones favourite game, I think, at least in modern times (><)

I saw the Borderlands Banner and went
"Steamos? Why the hell is that in spanish"
Then I realized it meant SteamOS. Summon forgot you aren't supposed to capitalize it all.

or they are giving John Stamos free versions of the game and they just misspelled his name
Of course. Dell don't make that many bad monitors and a U2412M was a corker for its price. At the time the WFP line of monitors offered best in class colour accuracy. Though asides from being bright they ran stupidly hot and sitting front of just one for the better half of a day in a stuffy office was almost enough to cook you alive!
Plus I've seen some of the awful monitors you lot use. It's the main component that displays what you're playing and more often than not folks cheap out on a monitor.

Right now the Dell U2414H is one of the better 24" you can buy.

Btw the new Uplay client with better Steam integration has been delayed because of Win XP. http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...30-09-2014?p=10248803&viewfull=1#post10248803

Nooooooooan e-mail I got earlier said:
I bet this means higher prices and tax.With all the Alien Isolation and Evil Within hype. Mostly everyone forgot about The Legend of Korra.
Going to organise some more DOTA2 this weekend. If we don't get enough for a full 5v5 GAF game, we'll roll as a stack and hopefully do better than last time.
I didn't! It's the game I'm most hyped for next month.
Earlier time this week!
When we are playing: Estimate Time

"We've been playing some Tribes at work but, unfortunately, I'm no good at it anymore."
Sad.
He has an eclectic taste in games and would fit right in SteamGAF. You're right those do seem rather modest to me. That keyboard, talk about a blast from the past.

Sounds like you should diverse into 4x games. Explore and colonize planets, research tech trees, build armadas, take over enemy planets, get sideswiped by alien tech you didn't prepare for, negotiate, re-build, destroy!
If that sounds like your thing, let me/us know. The easy recommendations would be stuff like Galactic Civilizations but there are many other options.

Downloading Shadow of Mordor and obviously NOW Steam has to go down globally!
According to http://steamstat.us/
Edit: nvm, just maintenance.

Lol. Ah well, I can't blame the programmers working there, they are doing their jobs. Stuff pops up all the time and delays happen.

Yup, Steam going down always has the best timing.
If I was to buy a monitor let's say tomorrow Dell wouldn't even be considered!
My fist choice would be ViewSonic (pro series), then would go NEC or Eizo.
I wouldn't even let you to call my Samsung plasma awful, but that's not really a monitor, I only use it as one.
nope, not buying that

Even I forget about Korra, and I'm a huge Platinum fan. Probably because I'm way more hyped for Bayonetta 2.
Nooooppeee. I just checked the site (for uh, science) and the voucher is extended till later today.

listen to the mad man
I can, however, blame the business managers working there, because "doing their job" means purposefully degrading consumer experience in order to advance Ubi's interests
I love the thin bezel on them but at launch they had a bug where connection over Display Port would show up as a TV not a monitor as you would expect. Now on Nvidia cards this would do the stupid thing and switch the RGB colour space to limited but being Display Port even Durante's tool would sort it out. Don't know if that's been addressed but it was the reason I passed up on one. AMD has the ability to change your colour space setting in the driver but Nvidia still haven't last time I poked around Colour Management.
All depends on your use case I suposse but considering I do colour critical work day in day out I'm not touching a ViewSonic or NEC with a barge pole unless I want to get the sack. And no way would I pay Ezio tax for what they offer.
Sure a plasma TV offers great static contrast levels that you'll only get with a VA monitor but the input latency on some TV's is just hideous that the make most IPS panels look lightning quick. Then again as I've lamented before the perfect all round display just doesn't exist... yet.

Is anyone getting unknown error? I'm trying to download Eliza but the webpage won't show.

True, but they will never listen to us, it's a business after all, same with Valve or any other big company in many different cases. You just have to hope that the guys developing try to ease the pain for everyone.
Pretty much every question in the forums have their Community Manager trying to appease everyone, I feel bad for the guy but there's so much work to be done if they want people to stop complaining.

I'm glad the release date is late October. That way I can get through most of my horror game list before it's out.
Will it make me a whole man?
Ah, you are correct. There seems to be some workarounds.

That's because that is what is says and how it is written. Even Valve don't seem to sure on how to pronounce it. SteamOs breakfast cereal or John Stamos are my favourites while valve have used both Steam O S and SteamOS (similar to DOS). I like them all, they make me giggle
I'm even not sure how to react to this, seriously, Viewsonic pro series monitors calibrate admirably even for CMYK, grey balance too for years, to the point of being the best for their price and other monitors not even worth considering for any colour sensitive work. Oh well, that's not really steam related talk anyway, so we can stop now. And I'm pretty sure that we are too set in our ways for discussion to change anything.
Ya company, or brand to be more precise, don't know much about company aside of couple of stunts that were pure comedy gold.
I had one the other day. It's pretty good, but it would be better without the coleslaw.
I wish I knew where to get pork buns. I am not a whole man.
Also, I need to finish Sleepy Dogs one of these days.
Valve missed a real opportunity to name their OS GLaDOS. If Microsoft can put Cortana on Windows phones...

Well, either way the more games for SOS the better(haha, SOS)
I got it without coleslaw. Taste pretty good.
You can pretty much go to any Chinese buffet or asian supermarket. They're very easy to find.
