Crap, I played the FFXIV beta too. They shouldn't count that though, it was literally a completely different game back then. I guess I could go the temp account as well.
Still trying to decide if I should risk getting sucked in though.

If your using chrome it saves your extensions to the cloud, I only use chrome on my laptop and when I logged in on my PC with a new OS installed it had Conduit
I hit that point the other day. I'd been manually idling games & playing the weird random indie games from bundles for a couple of months before.I don't really miss it & now have $13 in my Steam Wallet (and 9 pages of cards remaining to sell/use in the next Steam Sale...).
Still a little sad to see that "0 cards remaining".

Try a combination of Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, the latter is a really good tool.
Also this: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/nextcoup-virus-removal/
Try running HijackThis and paste the log into an analysis webpage.
It will point out pretty quickly any processes that might be suspect. Just be very careful what you 'fix' using the program, you can break things with it easily.

Yo, i just got back from seeing DBZ in a real movie theater, my childhood is pretty pumped with that.
On-topic, i've been debating on getting Dark Scavenger since its cheap and looks like it could be fun. Anyone play it? I may just get it and stream it anyways, but if anyone wants to steer me away from it, now would be the time.

I would add CCLeaner as well. Great tool for removing useless or unneeded files on the computer that just pile up from use, especially cookies or redundant registries that aren't used at all.
For major issues, or when one wants to be certain something is removed, HiJack This is the way to go. If one is not confident in their knowledge of computer files, registrations, and computer paths, use Help2Go website to tell you plainly what you can remove safely and nothing else.

Thanks jshackles and iDLEM@STER!
OT: Just watched Oblivion with Tom Cruise. Great movie. The tech, the setting, perfect for a video game. Just like District 9. Why don't we get video game adaptions from suitable movies more often? Direct adaption wouldn't work most of the time. Spin-off/same universe would be fitting for so many movies.
Had some scientology vibes though. Is After Earth with Will Smith any good?
I know what I'm doing wrong, I'm expecting a non-bullshit 'fight'.
The stupid wait for counter this time you can hit him 3 times after you succeeded! wait for counter oh you succeeded goo - HA HA THIS TIME YOU ONLY GOT THE ONE HIT AND YOU GOT YOUR ASS BEAT DOWN DURING THE EXACT SAME FUCKING ANIMATION FUCK YOU PLAYER shit is getting really old, especially since I've already done two fucking "stages" of this crap and broken his stupid little stick.

I found it pretty anticlimactic. Given all the promo trailers and shit, I was expecting a pretty sweet fight (or at least memorable). I found it pretty easy once you figure out it a QTE-fest.
But yeah, it went pretty long.

I think it may have solved the issue.

Hugs I would personally go with what's on sale. When you want a trio of games that's the easiest way to go about it in my book. Since everything will get cheaper sooner or later.
As for KiD from what I played on 360 its a fun game. Especially if you've ever dabbled in Suda game since this continues his style and is more akin to NMH than Lollipop Chainsaw.
The dating mode you don't HAVE to dabble in but you do get some unlocks from it. If you can find frosts impressions hell have the best overall view on it.

Now that we know Steam has this capability, it should be available for all games for a brief period of time (30 or 60 minutes) IMO for those games that just flat out won't run, are buggy messes, etc.
It probably wouldn't be doable for games you get outside of the Steam store though.

I play the same way every time in games anyway. I sure wouldn't try playing through this in any different way.
There's no way I'd choose different augs than what I did. There was a choice, but one was so ridiculously more useful than the other. The game flooded me with tech tools and lockpicks so the levels I invested into them seemed wasted. Swimming and environmental resistance are jokes. You don't need the weapon skills to be effective with them, etc. You can easily play a jack of all trades character like I did, so replaying it with a different and exclusive set-up would feel to me like I'm gimping myself super hard. I just don't do that in games.
Really if they wanted to make it more replay-able, Stealth should have been an upgrade slot. An expensive one too. As it is, any character build can just sneak through everything no problem. Largely due to the enemies' 2 degree wide vision cone. I mean, I played on realistic and stealth made it seem like a game made for babies.
I was also disappointed after trying so hard to not kill anyone at the start, Navarre going on her shooting spree in Fort Clinton made everyone think I was a maniac. And then no one mentioned or cared how I killed probably every enemy from then on. Especially once I got the Red Dragon sword, which is definitely the coolest weapon in the game, and made me wish Human Revolution had melee weapons rather than "sit and wait for my melee juice to recharge".
I can see how it was revolutionary at the time, it's just the action of the game is far too rough for me to enjoy it. If they took Human Revolution, added melee weapons, and re-made Deus Ex's levels with some interesting architecture and acceptable AI, I could see myself enjoying it like I did Human Revolution. The NPC responses to my actions and the choice for a frontal assault or going through the sewers was not enough for me to enjoy it, and did not represent the freedom of choice I envisioned as so many hyped this game up to have.
Also I no question preferred Human Revolution's hacking minigame to me pressing the hack button.
And thanks to you, Rickenslacker. Without that .exe you linked me, the game would have been played with this weird slowdown and mis-sized UI that I guarantee dissuaded me from continuing as far as this many times before. I wonder what causes that slowdown bug.
Ah well. At least I played it, and appreciate it for what it did for the genre. And that main menu music is still killer. Next stop on my list of games to give a second chance, Morrowind, with similarly killer main menu music.
Anyone wanna start a 2nd CGSO group?

Lol you can do an absurd amount of damage if you know how to attack him outside the QTEs. Going for the no hit achievement taught me a lot about the fight and how small a role the QTE stuff plays and also that most people are scrubs at these games.
How is that sad? That's literally the best thing about PC gaming.
But it's the sequel brah
Wait until the disappointment when they find out there was no sequel to The Last Remnant!
Edit: Dammit Kirosia. Stealing my jokes.

It's not a QTE-fest if you use your equipment correctly. It can also be incredibly short.

It amazes me how much mileage people are still getting out of Skyrim.
I know a lot of it is thanks to mods but it's still pretty crazy. People play it by themselves like it's an MMO. Considering ESO isn't all that hot I wonder if perhaps Bethesda would put coop in the next game. Not even story coop. Just perhaps the world with it's own sort of missions and objectives for when you play with friends.

I think part of it is that modding a game like that almost turns into a game by itself. I know a few people who will spend hours and hours arranging mods and graphic enhancements only to tear it all apart and do it again after playing for a while.

I've been playing it recently, and it's okay. It's a weird RPG-adventure novel/choose your own adventure novel hybrid. For every interesting thing it does, there's also part of it that feels kind of bland, or at least in the first hour and a half of it that I've played.

It is indeed amazing. What I've always couldn't understand is why did Bethesda stop releasing DLC for it? That is a game that will easily be played well into the next decade (imo). Has a lot of longevity. They should have continued supporting it.

It's because they're busy working on Fallout 4 or the next singleplayer ES.

I'd be surprised if the next Elder Scrolls doesn't have a season pass with at least double the DLC packs.

The most fun I had with FF14 was making my character. I just can't do MMOs very long before I feel like I should play something else.
Yeah I just noticed that as well, I don't think everyone else has gotten in yet though so we all have to choose a server that's not full.

It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in my madness.
I vaguely remember guardian deities being a thing from the original beta, but I have no idea what they are for.
