Speaking of 7000 B/P, last night I crossed 27,000 of them. Less than 3,000 remaining to Supreme Commander.

The sound quality isn't that great, but I guess this is because the camera doesn't have such a good microphone. But as far as I can tell, the guitar playing is excellent. I love the look on his face at the end of the video. "Oh, what just happened?" :)

Well, she did just meet me and give me the number. It does happen.

But not too often. And I still don't know why Mrs. Rae wants to be called "Maybe".

Then get another account and check this one periodically.

I already have 6 e-mail adresses that I use every now and then. No need to get another one. :P

6?! Wow, I survive with three.

I had 7 mail accounts at one time, but I had to abandon one, because it was flooded with spam-mails. I don't even know why that happened. Maybe I should try creating that account again to see if it's still on the spammers radar.

A good spam filter is always a bonus.

Yeah, I blocked many adresses and keywords, but it didn't help. My other e-mail-adresses recieve the occasional spam every now and then, but nothing that I can't handle. Maybe it did pay off that I use services like guerillamail.org when I sign up for websites that I don't trust too much or that I just know I won't use too often.

That's plenty to see, though.

One of my colleagues showed me some "turkish Gangnam Style" a few days ago. So, that's two videos I've seen a few seconds of.

Since my recent experiences of the Turks is in Assassin's Creed Revelations, I've now got the Constantinople Assassin's Guild dancing to Gangnam Style in my head. Weird.

I just got reminded of "Dschingis Kahn", some german Disco-Combo...
Gangman Style, Disco Version.

Saw the guys from F1 dance it yesterday. Now I think there is little hope for the world.

I heard the song today on some internet stream. "Top 40" or whatever it was called. If my colleagues turn on the same stream tomorrow, I'll ask them if they can change it. I can tolerate different tastes in music, but not for 8 hours straight...

Activity has been very low for quite some time now. I sure hope that it does pick up again. Because if it doesn't... well, then this place IS going to die out sooner or later. :/

Same can be said for the BBS as a whole.

Well, you could always switch to console gaming. All of the Half-Life games, even the first, have come out on consoles.

One bullshit to another is what's keeping me away from Steam games. I did buy two games from GOG the other day and although I had problems running Duke Nukem 3D, all it took was to run it on admin mode and it worked like a charm. However, controls are a different story as I have a hard time adapting to arrow keys for movement.

GOG is amazing. It'll probably never be as popular as steam is though, unfortunately. They actually make old games compatible with newer operating systems.

I'm a bit supportive of Origin because of stuff like this.. Since Origin came along Steam has released a lot of new features. (e.g. Big picture and the community redesign) Hopefully they'll eventually get to the point where they make sure games work on a wide variety of computers.

I wouldn't have much hope in them at this point. I don't even want to know what Origin can do to me if I have problems with Steam.

Origin is alright. The Origin client feels a lot smoother than Steams, but I'm not sure if they release buggy games or not. I've only gotten one game on Origin, and I only have it because they gave anybody that used a promotional code $20 to buy any game they want.

It sucks for me to do it right now but I've had enough grief from them. I only wish someone could do a deal with me so that they take my account and I'll get something in return. It would be bad to let this account rot away when someone else would have a lot more use with it.

I don't go there often so I'm not sure how people would respond.. but you could try /v/. You could probably find somebody willing to buy it there.

I only speak to a maximum of two people right now. For Coop, I may just PM him from now on but my friend who uses Steam a lot, half the time he doesn't even respond to my messages so I wonder if there's any point in even using Steam for IM now. There's still Facebook for him to use the chat feature to talk to me.

I speak to 20+ people on Steam on a regular basis.. Only about 4 of which I have added on something else. I'd have to stop talking to a lot of people if I stopped using steam.

I honestly want to slap the face of whoever thought of the idea of GFWL. This really is the bane of PC gaming and if shit like this continues, then I can see PC gaming dying out fast.

Microsoft makes so much money off each Xbox game sale and from Xbox live subscriptions.. I think Microsoft gets a cut of every GFWL game sold, but none from non-GFWL games. They just want more money.

There could be reasons why it is broken, but I haven't looked. I will continue to use Steam though because I simply love it.

Ever game you buy on consoles will be at least somewhat playable. That's a guarantee. (Unless it gets scratched up or something, of course)

There are some games that are buggy as hell, but you'll always be able to at least play some of them. PC gaming unfortunately has some flaws, like that games some times might not work at all.

That's good but you should try hitting the '0' and '1' buttons a little more frequently. Your Save to Blam ratio is appalling.

Blams 664

That's 13.65 Saves (approximately) for every 1 Blam. Surely you can do better than that?

The thing is, how often do you hear console games just being broken from the start? It seems to happen more with Steam than anywhere else but none of them are excused in this case. Consumers shouldn't buy the games and be beta testers for developers.

I actually have one game that is almost completely unplayable without a patch, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
It's really buggy without the patch, and even with it you can't use the Steam community features.. so you can't talk to friends while you're playing it. I've never gotten into the game because of that.

It is worth joining though for the free games you get for just signing up.

It's definitely the best for buying old games because they make it so they work better for newer operating systems. I'll probably buy any older games from GOG from now on.

Oh right. Almost every other language gets rid of distinguishing between a married and an unmarried woman, but in the english language, it still maters. :P

I thought the French still had Madame / Madamoiselle and Spanish Senora / Senorita? Doesn't that count for about half of the language in the world? Maybe a third, considering Mandarin and Hindi.

Why is a man always called "Mr.", but for a woman it matters wether she's married or not?

Because it's a contraction of Mister for a man over the age of either 21 or 18, as is more common these days, with "Master" being the prefix until then.

Despite what I've learned about the English Language since, where a Master is higher up the food chain, professionally speaking, than a mere Mister.

So we call her Carly Rae Maybe, now?

She says "Call me 'Maybe'" not "Call me 'Carly Rae Maybe'".

Ah, right.

So if Maybe wants to change her name, she has to release a single called "(No, fuckwit) I really want you to call me Carly Rae Jephsen"?

6?! Wow, I survive with three.

I had 7 mail accounts at one time, but I had to abandon one, because it was flooded with spam-mails. I don't even know why that happened. Maybe I should try creating that account again to see if it's still on the spammers radar.

A good spam filter is always a bonus.

Yeah, I blocked many adresses and keywords, but it didn't help. My other e-mail-adresses recieve the occasional spam every now and then, but nothing that I can't handle. Maybe it did pay off that I use services like guerillamail.org when I sign up for websites that I don't trust too much or that I just know I won't use too often.

It's not as bad as going through the works email and filtering out their spam, because the woman before me never bothered to uncheck the boxes for stuff she booked online.

Even worse when there's no "unsubscribe" option.

I managed to get quite a few sorted.

I heard those rumors about Toocool being an alt account.

But I could never make out a single user where I would think: "Oh, THIS is the main user!"

For me, Toocool100 always has been a "legit" main account.

Yeah, you just can't beat mouse and keyboard for FPS games.

So should I get The Orange Box on PS3 and play TF2 on that? :P Yeah, horrifying thought but this is where the 360 has an advantage for me if I had one.

If you like completely vanilla TF2 and you get that thing that lets you play console games with a mouse and keyboard it might not be to bad.

This is why a 360 is so tempting. I would happily go back to vanilla TF2. Hell, Valve should actually offer that option to provide vanilla mode for the game.

Yeah, I've been thinking I might have to bite the bullet on that. I know a friend of mine who frequents 4chan so I'll ask him if he sees any Steam accounts being sold.

I'm pretty sure people do occasionally sell steam accounts on /v/. I'm not really sure how it would work though.

I know it's a dodgy place but maybe, just maybe I can get what I want.

I'm clean from having an Xbox Live subscription. :P My problem with their online services is the monthly fee which I feel I won't ever be committed to make the money justified.

The monthly fee is awful. It cost $60 per year and the dashboard is absolutely full of ads? I don't know how they get away with that when PSN is is free, besides the optional PSN+.

Maybe I've not seen Xbox Live in full action but I feel a subscription for extras like PSN is doing is more reasonable. Hell, I don't even recall any ads on PSN so yeah, what is Microsoft's reason? I would have accepted ads on PSN seeing as the online services are free for me.

Or it's Silent Hill HD...

What was wrong with it? I've actually never even played a Silent Hill game.

The Silent Hill games themselves (well, the first three anyway) are masterpieces but the HD remaster was a joke. If the purpose of HD remasters is to play the game in better frame rate, graphics, etc but it failed at doing both of these, what am I really getting from them? I'm good enough with firing up my PS2 for SH2 and 3.

It's definitely the best for buying old games because they make it so they work better for newer operating systems. I'll probably buy any older games from GOG from now on.

Yeah, I still appreciate GOG for getting me able to play Duke Nukem 3D. Hell, I'll start praising them if they get Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and any other LucasArts games from the 90s on there.

It's really buggy without the patch, and even with it you can't use the Steam community features.. so you can't talk to friends while you're playing it. I've never gotten into the game because of that.

This has to change I think, this is one thing I don't like about playing really old games on steam.

Yeah, it does. As far as I know Vampires has always been a pretty buggy game.. It was probably only released as it is because of the fact that it was made on the source engine. Valve seems to give source games special treatment. Even if they're awful. (Revelations 2012)

By the way, if you ever have a problem with any game, this site is really helpful:

I get the same thing from steam, too many games to pick from, I don't even get games on impulse that much.

I buy way too many games at once on Steam and it usually takes me ages to get to them. There's a lot of games I bought during the summer sales that I haven't played for more than 10 mins yet.

That will have to be some other time. I'll see when my budget becomes more stable but right now is not the case.

I'd say anything that's so buggy that it's nearly unplayable. I guess something like big rigs could be considered not working.

Now that's a bribing plan. :P "Front page dragon porn and I'll give all my alts supporter."

Nope, no trouble for me. Running smooth as silk as always.

Sweet, I saw this, pulled it out from between Maiden Japan and Seventh Son OASS and I put it straight on my Record Player, and rocked out . I have the Album on ye olde Vinyl grooved record. And virtually everything else they have ever done. A couple of Cassettes of theirs around here somewhere too.

If he started B/Ping recently then it isn't that bad. I mean as of recently I've been regularly getting between a 1:20 to a 1:40 Save to blam ratio.. A lot of days I don't even get a single blam. If this continues, a year from now a 1:20 save to blam ratio will be considered okay for a new user.

Phew that's pretty high. I guess I'm just a touch harsher than you when I vote. I get somewhere around 1:10 to 1:15 P/B a day (which is disgusting, I was once 2:1 B/P not P/B) but there are the good days when you might get 5 to 8 blams and then you get 0 and 1 for the next 2 days. It's just so up and down. Very unpredictable.

But everyone that votes and especially heavy voters should be able to get at least 1 to 4 blams a day, you just need to be tougher on shitty submissions.

More people need to be educated on spotting shovelware and stolen games and Voting '0' on them. If the Portal Mods had the ability to see a submissions score and see if it was going to pass judgement, they could delete it, but if they could see it was not passing judgement because people were actually voting sensibly with '0' or '1' they could leave it be and then we don't miss out on our blam points.

You can only hope people grow up, smarten up and get with the program.

passed 22000 B/P!

Halfway through the season and there's hardly anything to complain about. I'd say this is the best since VI but it could top that.

I have very little on vinyl. Infact, I've only got the one album on vinyl and it just so happened to have an artwork that mixes necrophilia and zoophilia... I only wanted it for the music. As for Iron Maiden, I have all their studio albums and the majority of live albums. I feel they've done too many live albums so I've only kept to the remasters and Rock in Rio. It's very rare I'd actually listen to live albums anyway. It just doesn't beat the real experience.
