| I've been noticing problems with YouTube videos pausing even when there is more than enough buffer to keep playing. For example, I'm watching a 10 min video, and I'm about 3 minutes in. The buffer shows a little over half way, but then the buffer bar stops moving or slows down. The video pauses anyway even though I should have a a few minutes buffered before it needs to stop. It's like it stops downloading or slows down, but even though there is video buffered, it pauses anyway just because of the slow down rather than playing whats in the buffer. |

| I haven't played it or really kept up with anything on it after playing the demo. I was almost about to buy it, but then I figured it would probably go on sale for $5 during the holiday sales. I've got plenty of stuff to keep me busy until then. |

I just saw my first ad on the loading screen. I'd heard people here mention them but so far hadn't seen any myself. I still haven't seen any, but I blocked the game from connecting to the internet when my firewall prompted me the first time it tried to connect. I don't see why a SP game needs to connect, so I set it to block it. |

They said they were including all the previous patches into this one (which probably includes the vietnam content) because it was easier and less time consuming. Not sure if the steam patch is the full size or not. The Steam patch is 2GB. |

It's too bad they fucked up the MP. I played the 1.8 in single player for a day and liked the updates. Then I updated my server and tried to play with a couple of friends. The endermen don't react to you at all in MP, until you attack them. The lag is unbearable, I even get lag though the server is on my LAN. My friends connected to it sometimes can whack a block and not see it disappear for 20 seconds. The game gets out of sync. I saw a friend get killed by a creeper, and I commented on our voice chat that I didn't know if I had enough room to hold his crap. He said he didn't die and was standing in front of me. There have been instances where I was following one of them and they couldn't see me, and times when they said they were with me and I couldn't see them. We finally just quit, maybe the next update will fix the shit they broke.
We started a new map with 1.8 too, so it's not caused by using an old map. |

| Amazon has Dead Island digital download for $39.99. Is it worth it at this price, or wait for it to go lower? |

I was OK with that because I was surprised when they began offering streaming and threw it in for free. I didn't cancel either service although I rarely watch streaming myself. There are a couple of TV shows I'm catching up on, and I though I would cancel after I caught up and didn't have anything else to stream.
First they piss off half of their customers by splitting the DVD and streaming into two separate services causing prices to rise. Now they're trying to piss off the rest of their customer base by completely separating their shit into two different sites, making it an inconvenience to use. Now I've got my finger on the cancel button. What I liked about the streaming and DVD queues is that if one of your DVD's became available on streaming, it automatically showed up in your streaming queue. Now with the two on separate sites it's not.
I can do without Netflix streaming. I have Amazon prime, and I've found Netflix's streaming quality to be crappy compared to Amazon's. Amazon continues to add more titles, although browsing through them is worse than Netflix. Who do I go to now for DVD rental. Blockbuster made it clear they didn't want my money years ago, not Netflix is joining them. I don't like those DVD vending machines, it's not convenient for me to drive into town to find one and have to drive back to return it. |

| Hopefully they'll offer an upgrade to the GOTY or at least a DLC bundle at a decent price for people with just the base game. Especially since it was recently on sale for $12.50 last weekend. I finally caved and picked it up on a GamersGate sale for $11.37 a couple of weeks ago. I don't care for map packs and scenarios, but I would like the extra civ packs |

NewEgg has Battlefield 3 pre-order for $47.99 with code EMCKAJG96 until midnight (Pacific Time) tomorrow (Sept. 14).
I'm still on the fence with this one due to my lack of time for MP lately and this Origin crap. I bought BFBC2 on sale for $7.50, but I've only had time to play MP a few times. Those few times were a blast, but I just find I don't have time to get into MP games as much these days. Well, they don't charge until it ships, so I guess I can always cancel later. |

I really cant get over how long DX:HR has been. With so many games today being short 6-10 hour SP games that was what I was expecting. I've got 23 hours clocked so far & I think I'm close to the end. What an amazing ride it has been with a story line that is actually interesting & GOOD. Really loving this game alot & I cant wait for my second play through when the DLC drops. 
I have 28 hours of play time so far, and I've just finished the first boss fight. I've done a lot of exploring and every side quest I've come across. I like to save before talking to someone and after, so I can go back and see the outcome of the other options. I stick to my initial choice though.
I'm not too crazy about the boss fights. I'm not going for a pacifist play right now, but I'm doing stealth which tends to be easier if you use non-lethal take-downs, stun gun and tranq. darts.
After I finished the boss fight, I reloaded a save from right before to see if I could use the take-down move on him. I stunned him with an EMP grenade, ran around behind him and pressed the take-down key. It went to a cut scene where he picks me up and punches me, then goes back to real time and I'm still standing behind him. WTF??? |

Just glad I didn't buy Oblivion or Fallout 3 on Steam, since I'm using literately 100s of mods.
Those games aren't MP and don't use VAC. |

Until they can do 3D without fucking glasses that doesn't give people massive eye-strains and headaches, let it remain buried forever in the vault of "We Tried It Twice, And It Still Sucks."
I would love for 3D to be done right and take off. I tried the NVIDIA 3D thing at QuakeCon last year. The 3D was awesome for the short time I could stand it. After 10 minutes or so I started feeling cross eyed and turned it off. What I didn't like was that you could see a noticeable difference in quality with it on and off. When you switch it on, the image darkens and looks washed out. |

OH darn...they finally put Civ V on sale. Now I'm compelled to buy it for $12.50
It's been on sale before at Steam for this price. I missed it the last two times, and then GMG had it on sale a few weeks ago. I missed that one too, thinking it was a weekend deal when it was only a daily deal. It paid off because GamersGate had it on sale last week for $16, but if you went to the UK site, it was £6.78 GBP, which came to $11.37 USD. I went ahead and nabbed it this time, but I've been busy and my game time has all gone to playing DX:HR. |

| This is the second time I've seen mention of a patch for Nuclear Dawn, but it hasn't been released yet. Steam still has it up for pre-order, and there is no news of it launching on the official site either. |
