Blinded by the luminous glory that is David Bowie's physical manifestation.
Win 8 has to be a pain in the ass every step of the way for every game I run, doesn't it?

Episodes for Liberty City completely blank screen, have to sign out to even get back to the desktop to retry things on it.

Gonna try disabling GfWL on it and see if that works, doubt it will. Running GTA4 in Vista compatibility and admin rights seems to have fixed that but Ballad of Gay Tony/Lost and Damned? No go. :/

Sudden realization that I don't have to edit in the "who got what" links in my post. AWESOME.

I think not having played the original FEAR is worse than not having played the original Half Life at this point.

Apparently my dog has cancer. Can we agree that karma really isn't a very nice lady?

I'd swap Half-Life with Half-Life 2, personally. Half-Life's still more important than FEAR.

WB doesn't own the rights to the first FEAR

This problem was solved, but, uh, there's another game that WB is fighting another publisher over, apparently.

I was told Warner Bros gained the F.E.A.R. I.P when they acquired Monolith Productions. Currently they publish the first title after the original deal with Vivendi ceased.

Nah, not right away; there was this whole kerfluff about Project Origin being a new fancy name for FEAR, and FEAR getting rebooted entirely AS Project Origin... and then they tweaked things when they got the rights, hence the really ODD story that doesn't quite feel like a sequel.

Watching the COD: Ghosts Total Biscuit video right now. He just said that Ghosts is going up against Bad Company 2 in terms of visual fidelity.

Shots Fired!

BC2 looks better than what I am watching right now

Only one of the games I gave away was taken. I guess I missed a lot of Modbot action in here today.

Or maybe adding BLACKLIST shut a bunch of people out.

I think he had his settings completely screwed up in that video.

His WTF is as formulaic as the series that he is criticizing. I can probably write out his video verbatim without watching it, just like he could probably write his review of the game without playing it.

You guys who know more about Call of Duty, is 35,000 concurrent on launch day really low? I was in a thread the other day where someone said BOII launched at 100k concurrent players.

I think he had his settings completely screwed up in that video.

I saw that, I will watch the correction video next.

I did see Sethos' and Dennis' pictures of Ghosts and it did not look good to say the least.

I think Blops 2 launched at around 70k. I blame MW3/2 and the shitty PC support it received.

Unsure if this was already posted, but those of you that use PixelVision and are having UI trouble with Steam, go update to the newest release which I think was 11/1. Fixed all my issues. Cheers.

It's fine, relatively speaking. BO2 MP peaked at 32k on launch day (see here).

Edit: That 100k concurrent number is bollocks as far as Steam is concerned: even including the Zombies and SP apps, the game as whole peaked at ~58k on launch day.


Edit edit: Christ, it's a pain in the arse to change the dates on that site. Here are the peak figures for each BO2 app as reported within the window of November 12th to November 13th:

- Black Ops 2 MP: 31,098
- Black Ops 2 Zombies: 3,872
- Black Ops 2 SP: 12,983
= 47,953

Ghosts MP's 35k is fine.

Total Biscuit talked about what Infinity Ward did when MW2 was released, makes me worried for Titanfall.
Yeah they really killed PC support with MW2. People blame Activision but Infinity Ward wasnt really PC friendly when all that console money came in.

Ugh, was excited to see the cloud icon on SMB but it doesn't appear to work.

How am I suppose to play smb between my notebook and desktop? :(

37,000 is MP only, higher then B02 31,000.

Also Ghosts looks good visually to me

Apparently there were some issues with the Mac port that he finally got around to, Linux is new though.



You are supposed to use an Xinput wrapper I believe, there is a guide on GAF. I don't have a DS3 controller so not 100% knowledgeable.

Or just fuck it, and trade the controller for a copy of FEAR 2.

Tried this?

EDIT: beaten


Ha hey! It worked!


Ahhhhh never gets old
