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...

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

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

You can play it like a button masher, but you likely wont do well. It's a bit more tactical than that. You use stealth, weapons and properly timed combos more so than just randomly hitting whatever button your thumb happens to be over at the time. If you are just doing that, you will probably...

This is just one of those bills where they want a wide scope. Essentially, they want everything to be illegal, but will only enforce what they see fit. That way they can pick and choose what they want to get taken down and not have to worry about if it qualifies because technically everything...

Get it. You won't be disappointed. Great little game. This. Fair bit of warning though, the map pack levels are quite a bit more challenging than the rest of the game. Of course, that's part of the allure.

To each their own I suppose, but I think it's safe to say that your tastes differ from most people around these parts. ;)

Only for those of us who already own the games on sale :) BC2 for $5, SMB for $7.50, Darksiders for $5, Magica for $3.39, Bioshock 2 for $5, AVP for $5, HL2 ep2 for $1.99, PvZ for $3.39... all pretty good deals on good games. Remember, just because you have something on sale in your...

Damn. Missed it. Oh well. I rarely played Civ IV, I probably wouldn't play Civ V very much either.

Like the others have said, the single player is enjoyable on it's own and easily worth the $5... but the multiplayer is definitely BC2's strong suit. Stalker is assuredly worth it if you don't already have it (and complete mod is a must). Farcry 2... meh. I've only put maybe a half hour...

Never! If we can't have the game, then bitching about it is the next best thing ;) Besides, I'm sure that some of the people in this thread are already in their 40's.

I know this is from a couple pages back, but I gotta bite. Congratulations. You get the "Missed The Point Award" for 2011. Take a bow :D Other people in this thread missed the point of that post as well, but not to the extremes of you my friend. He posted that quote sarcastically...

SimCity 4 is pretty much the gold standard. It's older, yes, but nothing that has come out since is anywhere near as good. Cities XL 2011 is pretty, but it's also incredibly buggy in my experience. If you can get it for less than $5, then it might be worth it. Anything more than that and...

Actually, you're not supposed to post entire articles without express permission from it's creator. Because copyright violations are bad. So he did the right thing. If you wan't to read the whole story and get the complete context, just follow the link. Otherwise, you're going to have to...

Yes, but that's only for games that use Steamworks for DRM (so, valve games and a few 3rd party games like Civ5) What game did you try? Sure it wasn't a Steamworks game? Here, I took a few quick screenshots of my launching some of me steam games without steam running: Alpha Protocal...

I seem to have to bring this up whenever there is a conversation like this. You don't have to have the Steam Client running in order to launch the majority of steam games. The only ones that require Steam to be running are Valve games, and 3rd party games that use Steamworks for DRM...

A bios flash is a good place to start. If it doesn't help, then I'd open up the case and look for any bulging capacitors on your motherboard. Bad caps sometimes manifest themselves with problems on cold boots, but work fine on a restart. If they look fine, then I'd move on and just run a...

Yeah, with those symptoms (and not being able to see it in person), I would put my money on PSU. Though, like the others said, you have to decide if dumping money into a 6 year old HP is really worth it (if you can afford a new computer, it's generally not).

Come on dude, it's not hard to understand. You are basically telling someone that the piece of hardware they purchased has flaws and that, at least in some circumstances, another piece of hardware that was available at the same time performs better. In most people's minds, that brings into...

For my graphics work, an Eizo ColorEdge CG303W (or 3) would be great to have. However, I'd probably be in for some ghosting if I were to game on it... so catch 22. There really is no one best monitor for me, sadly.

Yes and no. An overall theme that is geared toward young kids will generally ward me off of games, because most generally suck. However, if someone suggests I try such a game because it's well made and the game play is enjoyable, I've got no problem with it. But yes, I do tend to avoid them...

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198003918305 You can add me, but I'm not currently able to sign into my friends list due to ISP issues, so no talky lol.

All files are uploaded and waiting :)

it's been a couple years since I've been to a LAN, but they still happen. Maybe not as much as they did before the days of widespread broadband, but they still exist. Although they aren't really for casual gamers, e-sports tournaments are becoming more and more common place also. That's most...

Yeah, every now and then I get punk buster issues (maybe, twice since I started playing BC2), and this has solved the issue every time. No uninstalling needed. In my experience, PB just kinda sucks at auto updating. Of course, that doesn't mean that everyone else here isn't experiencing a...

Lol, I saw this posted on another site... a crap ton of people there got their panties in a bunch. It was kinda funny. Anyway, I haven't played it yet, but I hear it's ok. Has some balance issues, but overall not bad.

I'd be down. It'd give me an excuse to start playing again lol. This sounds good. :D

Glad everyone likes it. After I finish up another project I'm working on, I'll hash out a simplified version for us to start with.
