    Looking for a website to download hi-def game trailers off of.

    You should still be able to get them. Easiest way would probably be to grab the DownloadHelper add-on for Firefox. Once it's installed, go to the video page, wait for it to start loading and you'll see the DH icon start to animate. Click on the down arrow next to it, click the active media...

    Mass Effect 3 Deluxe Edition Exclusive to Origin

    Ignore that post, I didn't realize Origin sold retail copies as well as digital. Sorry bout that.

    Mass Effect 3 Deluxe Edition Exclusive to Origin

    1) I was pointing out that while Steam doesn't address availability in it's TOS, it does have a proven track record. Origin on the other hand directly states that they do not guarantee availability and if you are not active for 24 months on either your account or a specific game, Origin will...

    Mass Effect 3 Deluxe Edition Exclusive to Origin

    Couple things: 1) While this is true (as far as I know anyway), they also don't have a stipulation that enables them to delete your account if it goes unused for a certain period of time as Origin does. Add to that the fact that every game that has been purchased on Steam since 2004 is still...

    Yes. Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead 2 Portal 2 Counter Strike Source They had their titles available on the old EAStore before the Origin re-branding too. They also have their titles available on a number of other DD services as well. Of course, in order to play them you need the Steam Client, but...

    Steam download throttling?

    These last few posts have been hilarious. One guy doesn't bother to read past the first line and leaves a snarky reply, and the other doesn't read at all. I love you so much internet. You entertain me :D

    New Uber Graphics Mod for GTA IV

    Well, it's been said that GTA V is likely coming in 2012, so graphically speaking it will probably be similar if not idendical to GTA IV considering it's primarily designed for the Consoles... and the next gen hardware isn't likely to be out by then (except maybe the Wii U). Think GTA 3 -> GTA...

    Late to the party, but wondering about Arkham Asylum

    If memory serves, yes, but just for activation. GFWL was far more of an annoyance with this game, at least for me. Even still, it was worth it (which is something I rarely say about GFWL). As for the Physx question, I guess that depends on what Nvidia card you have laying around (and...

    Steam download throttling?

    Considering he is sharing that 1mb connection with a neighbor, I'm guessing cost is an issue... so I doubt an upgrade is a viable option. Your best no cost bet is either through QoS, or a freeware bandwidth limiter like Traffic Shaper which SHOULD be able to limit Steam's download bandwidth...

    Steam Summer Sale 2011

    Wait till you start doing the Grinder challenges. Those Concussion Towers are your best friends... especially when you mix them with a few Flame and Temporal towers at key positions. Then you just sit back and watch those Walkers melt away.

    New Uber Graphics Mod for GTA IV

    Did you back up the files that the mod replaced? If not, then you are going to have to either re-install or find the stock files on the interwebz. Remember kids, always back-up when modding.

    Oblivion GOTY + Steam = no-go?

    Gamebryo games are known to have audio codec issues that can cause crashes on loading, so you might want to try updating your audio codecs. It's been known to solve issues like this. If that doesn't help, here's a thread on the steam forums that deals with Oblivion crashing...

    Late to the party, but wondering about Arkham Asylum

    That's all well and good in the hypothetical, but this is reality. Whether you like it or not, everything is labeled. We are brought up to think in generalities. Whether it's race, religion, nationality, gender, age, brand, genre, industry, political party or whatever. We have a need to fit...

    Late to the party, but wondering about Arkham Asylum

    Think of it like this. A well funded school has a graduation rate of only 25% and of those who do graduate, only 5% go on to college. Even though they were on occasion able to produce a student who positively contributed to society, the vast majority of their students wind up on welfare...

    Tropico 3 pack @ 4.99 today on Steam, anybody buying?

    Worth it. It's a nice little city builder/management game and has a decent campaign mode with specific goals and such. Graphics are very enjoyable also. If you like city builders, I'd go for it. It is much smaller scale than say Sim City or Cities XL, but that's also part of it's charm...
