Played the steelbook version of Jade Empire last year, ran fine after one got past the installer hassle. Still one of my favourite Bioware games.
 
Have a question guys. Bought the WB Humble Bundle about a week ago (I BTA). Checked into it this week and I see that they've added some games to the BTA collection. Since I BTA when I originally bought the bundle, will I have access to the new games they've added?

This is from Widescreen Gaming

Looks like the game renders everything normally at whatever input you select, but menus, UI, and some cutscenes will be stretched.

Native widescreen support available.
For manual entry, enter your resolution in the "JadeEmpire.ini" located in the game folder.

--------------------
[Render]
ScrW=1920
ScrH=1080
RefreshRate=29
--------------------

There is a minigame included, a vertically scrolling shooter. Its Hor+ as well but in widescreen resolutions there is a graphical glitch at the edges. The HUD, menus and all texts stretch horizontally. There are some FMV's available throughout the game, all of them stretch horizontally. Ingame-rendered cut-scenes are Hor+.

I played the retail version of Jade Empire in 2005 and it worked just fine. That was... 8.5 years ago. Oh god, now I feel sad.

I played it just yesterday. You have to edit .ini file to get everything good (FSAA, soft whadows, 60 fps, etc) and the pad may give problems, but beside that nothing that google can solve. I like the fact also that you can take your directory and back up it, put it on another computer and it works.

Oh, bloody hell. I've been wondering why I wasn't getting any cards from Prime World: Defenders despite idling for the past ~90 minutes; turns out I used the app id for the original Prime World by accident.

Here's to hoping that uPlay puts through my $2 order of AC4. If yes, that means $2 Watch Dogs could be coming as well :eek:

I actually posted about contacting Ubisoft yesterday. They said that my order "appeared as valid on the system". It's a bit ambiguous, but I think it's not very likely that they will cancel the order if they haven't done it already.

There was a pricing error on the Uplay store which effectively made ACIV and Watch Dogs 50 roubles ($1.5 actually) apiece

damn, that's incredible.

I gave in and crafted badges till lvl 30. I'm so done with cards, buying games if they have cards and all this fuss about badges, soooo done.
this will be my last one, as always, if you want any of those coupons (not copons, mind you) contact me on steam when you see me on.

If you ever see me offering coupons here (not copons, offering copons is another matter), please, kindly remind me that enough is enough. Thanks in advance.

Speaking about Jade Empire, I'd like to buy it, but it's not available here. Would someone from the US help me? (I also posted here, but it didn't produce any results yet).

I'd also like to remind you that I still have that 40% Company of Heroes 2 coupon. It stacks with the current 33% off deal making it 60% off, a pretty decent deal.

But, for a fair price, I'd be totally up to. :D
 
Why is the Steam community suddenly in Italian for me? It's still .com, I'm getting there from the front page of the store, nothing's changed. I'm looking around for language options without much success.

I've sent you a trade offer for a Nihilumbra coupon.

STEAM 2013 Announcements & Updates VIII : where we uncover secret that steam machine is in fact corporeal modbot

some irrelevant statistics: I've bought about 20 booster packs (of various games), my idea was that it will be faster and I, may be, can get some money back if foils would happen.
With my legitimately acquired 5 booster packs before, it's ~25 booster packs with no foil.
Folks, foils in booster packs are most likely as rare as in drops. Someone posted 1 foil for every 100 cards probability, I believe it's so.

Wouldn't surprise me if it's less.
The whole reason for Boosters to be higher price for a chance of a foil is so bad that it's not worth buying them for that reason.

Cheers. Knowing my luck it'll have expired by then. :p

No worries, it won't be. :)

Yup, not worth, I got a lot of doubles too, I thought that booster packs are less ridden with this problem, but in fact it's exactly the same. So in the end, it's not exactly faster, because of randomness factor and doubles, and no foils. That means booster packs are more or less useless, unless you get them as drops, then it's free cards.

Valve must be making lots of money with people like you and me trying to speculate for foils in boosters, trying to find very rare objects in TF2/Dota2 chests, or just trying to speculate on prices of very rare dota 2 items on the Steam Market. So far, every time I have been speculating, I have lost against the market. Recently, it was due to the market crash which happened with the last dota 2 patch which enabled crafting/socketing. Basically, Valve gets a cut out of every transaction, and there are many incentives to buy/sell on the Steam market for mere speculation purposes.

The new Steam thread should be made once the Autumn Sale starts, let's stick in this one a little longer guys and gals.

Well, that's the point of market, to make more money for Valve.
I'm kinda ashamed I got so addicted to this meta game. But I'm cured now, I hope! I wish you the same. Let's play some real games for once (><)
 
So I played through the first mission of CoH2 on Captain difficulty and here are the achievements I got for it:

Something's definitely broken here.

EDIT:

lol, during the beta they added mission 7 for people to demo and finishing it on the highest difficulty gave the achievements for completing the campaign on every difficulty.

I just finished MARLOW BIRGGS. That game is so much fun! it really doesn't fuck around, the action is pretty much constant and is pretty hilarious at times.

I was so hooked on Lord of The Rings: War in the North. Did 2 playthroughs in a row and now doing Skullgirls Story modes. Bless steam and humble bundle.

Did you have a problem with your CPU going directly 100% usage while you were playing? Steam community keeps saying the game is poorly optimized and uses 100% cpu on any rig and some overheat or something like that.
