I agree, 400 days was a scam in my opinion, should have been free.

Serious question: has Rocket Knight ever been discounted?

For how many keys could I get Fable Anniversary right now?
Indeed, it could have been a nice little offer since I didn't find that much important even for the Second season. I was just wondering if I should delete it from my Steam installed games Library or not. I know I can always install it back if they release something, I just like to have a clean installed tab on Steam without too many games in there.

It's been 50% off before, yes. Last time was during the most recent winter sale.
I believe the current theory is Sony has fixed the durability issues for the second iteration of the sticks. I bought mine a few months ago and after 150 hours of Dark Souls II, DMC, Wolf Among Us, and various platformers, the sticks are still holding up just fine.
Others with the newer design seem to be having a similar experience.
I'm using the J2K branch as well per your recommendation. Running very smooth.
I haven't tooled around in the settings too much, are other features that I should be aware of?

I prefer the Xbox One controller although it's hard to go wrong with either one. XB1 controller has a bit more heft to it and I prefer the way you lay your hands over the buttons. The sticks are great as as well and I really like the side grips. Some people don't like the bumpers but I am of the opinion that you have to go purposely out of your way to encounter the lock. Dualshock 4 has some neat features in regards to the motion controls/mic/touchpad(great for adding 4 extra buttons) but none of those features will ever be used on the PC in games.
The biggest advantage of the XB1 controller when used for consoles is that it uses AA batteries and lasts around 30 hours as compared to the 5 of the DS4. Just switch in some changed enloops and I'm back to gaming within a minute. Although it should be mentioned most people seem to have much higher times for the DS4 so I probably got unlucky with mine. This is irrelevant for my PC usage though as I use both with a USB cable, and that is the only way you can currently use an XB1 controller on the PC.

Ok, thought it was going for less. Still a good price I guess.

Funny enough I really dislike the sticks on the Xone they're too small and the concave with the raise I really don't like. Doesn't help that gets dirty pretty quick if you have clammy hands during some gaming like I do so i'm constantly cleaning it. Plus the 2 controllers I have much like the PS4 had build quality issues. The left side on both is loose. The first time I had to open one of them up to move a screw that got loose in the board and got wedged inbetween that and the trigger. Which was just crazy.
Still with that said I do like what the Xone controller is going for but I feel the change was pretty unnecessary when they had the 360 controller.
I hope Microsoft releases a wireless dongle for the xbone controller at some point. Wireless or bust.
Good thing I have 3 360 controllers now, if something breaks from one I can always use another one and cannibalize the broken one for spare parts.

It's a bummer that you got unlucky with the screws but that seems like a rare occurrence whereas every dualshock 4's analogue sticks will peel if you shake them too hard.

Really enjoy that game. It's basically a Mini-Golf game in a Bioshock world

The first season of the TC show was good, a bit too slow but almost exactly like my imaginary perfect zombie show. The second season though... Good Lord was that bad and horribly paced with boring characters and laughable character development. I stopped caring midway the third season, so I don't know, maybe they got back on track?

You are me from yesterday evening, ha. Tektonic gave me great tip. You just have to pay attention to their FB-page. There they announce new key-batches shortly before. Here the links for the FB-page and the actual keys-page.BAH, tried like 15 of them from different sections and they're all taken. I don't care that much to keep attempting. Thanks though

Hope you can snatch one next time because they said they're still gonna give 5000 keys away!

Auto-profile switching is a game changer for me. The program will switch depending on what's in focus, so you can alt-tab between games and switch profiles with no problem. I've gotten to the point where I'll make a profile just to have custom colors.
The "Slide" check button under profiles will disable the touchpad for that profile. It's useful when creating profiles for games where you don't want the pad to interfere with your touchpad shortcuts. I use the touchpad to reset my run in OlliOlli for instance.
Depending on your needs, the shift modifier could be another big feature. You get to set a button that will open up the entire controller to new shortcuts. I use the one where you place a finger on the touchpad (not clicked in), and have the face button for things like Shadowplay and screenshots.
Right now I have profiles for Need For Speed MW (music playback, screenshots/shadowplay), Binding of Isaac (full controller support), Dolphin, and OlliOlli (reset, music playback).

Ah, what the... There was a free CoD Ghosts MP weekend? I just realized now in my library... with two hours remaining.... damn.
EDIT: Oh snap, 30GB. And it looks like it's frozen at allocating disk space. Guess it's not a smart idea to install on a laptop with a SMART HDD error just because it's a bit more powerful :/

Just received this email from Steam Support. Does anyone have any idea what this is? I assume it's someone trying to find accounts through a specific CD Key obviously but what would be the reasoning?
I saw wireless XBOne controllers at GameStop this weekend for $60 with big "now works on PC" stickers on them, is that not what you're looking for?
The third season was dramatically better than the absolutely horrible second season. Can't speak to the 4th season though, haven't bothered to watch it yet.
Edit: actually now that I think about it, I watched the first half of the 4th season but didn't bother with the second half. I wouldn't say it's bad but it wasn't good enough to care about.

Vertiginous Golf is a great game. Although I'm wondering if anyone here has play "The Golf Club" game on Steam, and if it's any good?
The dongle, not the controller. You have to plug it into the pc for it to work.

Don't the new packages come with a dongle? How else does the wireless work? Bluetooth?
There ok but I would wait for a steam sale to buy it and if i'm correct there will be a fall sale then halloween sale.
No they don't. The wireless communication is built into the xbox one. There is no similar device for the pc since its proprietary.
Jawmuncher
Member
I know the feeling.
DS3 was pure pain to set up and I gave up on it.
DS4 has been nice and easy though with no issues so long as I was using it wired.
Bluetooth seems to not work for me.
Oh that's weird. Glad I didn't buy one then, I thought it was like the 360 model with a dongle. Guess their definition of "works on PC" is highly relative then
GameStop and Microsoft, always a winning combination of misinformation.The "fall sale" is Thanksgiving weekend and is basically a preview of the winter sale. Did the Halloween sale materialize last year? I was thinking it didn't. It's much more themed anyway.
Motionjoy?

i will wait then , thanks
Both, Motionjoy (before Better DS3 existed) and Better DS3. Though obviously the latter was a great improvement.
Yeah I could never get the bluetooth wireless stuff for me to work at all. Setting up a DS4 via the XINupt Method has been pretty great though while wired.
Is there a way to get my Wii U Pro Controller working wired? What drivers like XInput would I need for that?
You need XInput Wrapper in your life. Motionjoy is horrible!
It is excellent, everyone has the same gear so it comes down to skill with the controls. The course creation tools are incredible and the ghosts of other players shots visible while you play is very cool.

I really want to get it. How's the optimization? It looks like the kind of game that hasn't been through the ringer when it comes to optimizing on mid-range GPU's yet.

Lowest is 50% off.
I'd appreciate it if someone can get it for me since it is not in my region ^^;
Certainly needs optimization, can't run well with maxed out settings, supposedly this is mostly due to the object detail setting. http://steamcommunity.com/app/269730/discussions/1/35222218682563948/#c35222218697187739

So I bought COD4 and while it is fun, I am having a technical issue.
I like to customize my keys a specific way in FPS games and for some reason, COD4 is not letting me. It is forcing me to use all the default settings.
After some Google searches I have not found a solution.
Anyone have any ideas?
