old ... and region-locked to Hell and back
At least the Season Pass is region free, it seems
Ooooh nice. The one he's posted on Steam is quite thorough but I'll go track down the post here. Cheers. Anyone else got any thoughts on LocoCycle?
Hahaha I've long since given up being a slave to my backlog. I'll get to it when I can and it's not like it's taking up space. My problem is double and triple dipping but now that last gen is starting to wind down I'm slowly flogging off part of my collection I'm done with. Though surprisingly no one want's to buy my copy of PES 2008 on eBay, even for 1p!
I probably have but if I don't recognise the person adding me or they aren't part of a group I'm aware of I usually decline the request. I've got enough issues working out who have my 'friends' list are as it is, the 'To Be Sorted' tag group is getting rather large.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Console makets can't do monstrosities like the 32X anymore.
Ok, thanks. Now to the decision: do i buy it now or in a later 75%+ Sale in Fall or Winter.

Dunno about Salsa, but as a relatively new 3DS owner I'm a bit miffed. I hope games don't start needing the new hardware

Best trade I have done, ever
Yeah, I was bored
Out of 15 friend requests or so after I put some items to trade, 15 were these scam attempts. Not a single legitimate one.

You're not wrong, it's like every few steps there seems to be another achievement notification, maybe they realised they were gonna die soon and decided to at least let achievement hunters enjoy their game.
I think Russians are using the infamous exploit to buy ROW copies with the russian pricing.

Glad to see you back again
Going straight to VI and skipping V would be so dumb, but so good.
Another day, another (upcoming) simulator game... this time with Steam Workshop support!
Releases in November.
Ehh, RECYCLE looks much better than this.
Age of Mythology: ROW and RU/CIS-specific subs, however while the ROW four-pack and four-pack gift subs are region-locked, single ROW copies are not, so they can be bought on the cheap through traders who use the cross-region purchasing trick.
Rise of Nations: Universal subs, but as with AoM only the four-pack and four-pack gift subs are region-locked.
Here it took 4.2 hours.
So depends on your playstyle: I took my time and investigated every inch of the house.
I wouldn't call the abomination they put there a stick...
More like that clitoris some laptops have if you ask me.
I was kinda joking, but anyway there could be millions of reasons to sell to EA, but I guess to back it on something real I should know what are the terms of the buyout.
Hence I'm surrendering from this debate for lack of proper arguments...

Really? This exploit is a new thing or always existed?
Have you ever tried to use that nub on an IBM Thinkpad? It's an exercise in frustration for anything remotely requiring precision.
I disagree. The Thinkpad nub is really amazing in terms of precision for its size when you get used to it. I'm much faster with it than any touchpad I've ever tried.
Now, what are true abominations are all other attempts at similar input devices I've tried from any other manufacturer.

You traded some cards with me.... and now I get stuff like this
Actually I asked you for cards and got them for free. Thanks again.
I don't know why I even accepted him. His profile is private even after accepting his friend request!

it's probably only going to be used for camera control, and it looks a bit larger than the thinkpad clit. I guess we'll see!
Anyway, you guys wanna watch something terrible?
this is me getting my very first Ultra Street Fighter IV ranked mp win!

It's always existed. Valve knows about it, too, as following Ubi plugging the hole in South Park's ROW sub, those who'd bought copies on the cheap and traded them en masse were trade-banned.

yeah, same here ... not even scammer-bots like me ;(
Any chance that these hackers got the GAF id list and unleashed a wave of phishing bots on us? Seems that a lot of people from here that are not even trading are spammed by them. I get 5-6 phishing bot invites a day and I haven't posted on outpost or streamtrades for months
When I was little, I tried playing MechWarrior 2 with it. Can't remember of good or bad

Yo. Never feel bad about a win. Tip: piss off the other player as much as possible. Taunt more.

Could be, I haven't put my name on the list and haven't had any people spamming with requests so far.
To be honest I am offline most of the time.
Yeah that could be the case that my workflow consists mainly roundtripping between Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop and that I'm so used to using a tablet and keyboard shortcuts for donkeys years that I'm not accustomed to change.
I can remember Acer and Gateway putting them on their Laptops and Notebooks in the past but my experience with Acer products usually ends before they get to the end of their warranty period.
I refuse to comment on rumor and speculation
Popcap's troubles are their own. Like a lot of studios EA buys, they're just past the top of their form, can't handle growth, and have owners happy to cash out...

Damn... seeing that sprite makes me wish 3S was on Steam.

So I saw that GOG is having a sale because a bunch of games are going to be removed, these games aren't going to be removed from Steam too, are they?

Lol, Metro 2033 Redux gets card right after I spend my card money to buy State of Decay. It didn't have 'em yesterday. :'(

from what they've said, it seems GOG couldn't come to an agreement with certain publishers about regional pricing so they're going their separate ways, hence the sale.
