Wow. IF you are a fan of Threewave CTF that video in the article is a great watch and listen. Has a cool history of the project and dude in the middle of it.
Holy crap I still recognize those maps. We used to have weekly LAN parties back then and played the shit out of Threewave CTF and later Thunder Walker. |

| I've been very interested in this since it was announced. The funny thing is, if they went to Kickstarter for this, I probably would have thrown money at my screen, but considering my fucking backlog (and the amount of patches to get POE finished), this will have to wait for a sale. Also with it being a Paradox title, who loves their DLC, is another reason to wait. |

Having never played very far into Bioshock, this is a good time for me to play it from start to finish. (maybe once the bugs have been looked at)
People recommend Bioshock? (I played and enjoyed Infinate)
I never finished the original Bioshock. I got far enough for the big reveal of the shocking secret, but I had already figured it out long before then. I think I was close to the end, but I just lost interest in continuing.
I got Bioshock Infinite for free (or it might have been $1) from one of those GMG/Playfire promotions. I actually finished it, and like the first one, it was totally predictable. I had already figured out what was going on about half way through, so it was no surprise when I got to the end.
I went ahead and bought Bioshock 2 and its DLC during the summer sale after they announced the free upgrade, so I'll give them a try again after they've had time to fix it. |

In my case, exclusives I'll never play. My PS4 (and 3) are expensive Blu-Ray players. But by god, some day I will finish The Last of Us.
Just watch it on YouTube, it's basically just a semi-interactive movie. I watched a little bit of it to see what the hype was about, and I didn't see much game going on. There was a little bit of simplistic platforming and some shooting. You could see the shooty parts coming when the level opened up with conveniently placed cover blocks. It also looked like if a player died during one of these and reloaded from the auto save, the game toned it down to make it easier to get through. |

That's some fucking bullshit on the reviews.
That's pretty much exactly what I said when I saw that. The only time I buy directly from Steam anymore is during their sales. I don't write many reviews, but I've been thinking about going through and writing reviews for the games I enjoy, but fuck it, there's no point now if it isn't going to count for anything. Of the reviews I have written, only one I actually bought from Steam, the rest were keys.
They can do better than this. They should weigh reviews with more play time higher than those with the minimum of 0.2 hours, or not even count the review in the overall score if the reviewer played it less than 2 hours.
Hell GOG doesn't even require you to have bought the game from them to write a review. |

| I haven't even played it yet and I'm somewhat regretting buying it. I knew they were going to release story DLC later, and that's usually a "buy it when complete" purchase for me. I only bought it because I built a new PC and wanted a new game to play on it, and I was able to pre-order it for $40. I can't refund it since I didn't buy it from Steam. |

Hey Blue. There's this new dinosaur ad in the comments and it's constantly crashing. It's a flash crash. It freezes my whole browser. It keeps crashing even if I stop the flash process.
You shouldn't have flash enabled all the time. There are very few sites where flash is needed, so I it set to ask to activate (Firefox). |

Windows 10 Annoyances |
Aug 24, 2016, 13:58 |

Just when I thought I had sorted out all of Win10's annoyances that I could fix, it sprung a new one on me last night. I always put my system to sleep and reboot it every couple of weeks. I put the system to sleep, crawl into bed, turn off the light and just as I get comfortable I hear the system turn on. It was doing this right after I installed Win10 and it was the network adapter waking it, so disabled it from being able to wake the system. I got up, checked to see what woke it and it didn't show anything. I go to the network adapter's advanced settings and disable the WOL setting in the driver, put it back to sleep and go to bed.
This morning I wake up to find my system on again, and it has also rebooted, closing down everything I had open.  I looked in the event viewer and it woke up at 3:45am, then Windows update installed updates and rebooted just after 5am.
I did some searching to find out how to stop this, and found this. Running that powershell command in Step 3 to list all tasks allowed to wake the system showed that the UpdateOrchestrator task was the only task allowed to wake the system that was enabled. I'm still not sure it caused it since the system woke up at 3:45am and that task is scheduled for 5:12am.
I did Step 2 and disabled the task from waking the system and set the permissions on it. Everything else except Step 1 I had already done. I don't want to completely disable wake timers because I do occasionally use task scheduler to wake my system to do something while I'm away. |

I preordered from GMG and already have a key and have the game loaded on steam. Not that it answers your question at all, just sayin.
I got my key today and it is indeed a pre-order key. I was a bit worried for a while. I've never used this store before, but it was a good deal. They're owned by 11-bit Studios, which developed This War of Mine and others, so I figured they could be trusted. They even gave me a 10% off code for anything, even already discounted games, to apologize for the delay. |

IIRC they said that they did away with the silly pre-order shit that they had going for awhile, and everyone who bought it would just get all the typical stuff such as the extra mission. Obviously the Limited edition etc still gets more, but all the basic pre-order stuff should be included.
Even if you miss it, it probably won't really amount to anything. The extra mission for DE:HR (rescuing Tong's kid) was pathetic. Literally a single room added onto a sewer with four guards and a cell in it.
The store page for DX:MD shows the following bonuses for pre-ordering:
“Desperate Measures” extra in-game mission
Covert Agent Pack (Intruder Gear, Enforcer Gear and Classic Gear + 1 Praxis Kit + 1000 Credits)
Digital Novella
Digital Comic Book
Digital Artbook
Digital OST Sampler
I thought the pre-order content for DX:HR varied depending on where you bought it. I thought you got some starting money, some of those hacking devices and different starting weapon depending on the retailer. I thought these were later released as DLC. I didn't pre-order so I didn't get any of that. I thought it was kind of weird how you're this big-shot security guy and you start out broke and the only money you ever get is what you loot from your enemies, and your boss at the start only gives you the choice between a revolver or a stun gun and a tiny bit of ammo for that first mission. |

Does anyone know if the pre-order mission with DX:MD is going to be released later? I remember there being some backlash about some of the pre-order stuff a while back and they changed it. For some reason I remember reading that the pre-order mission would be a timed exclusive and be released for everyone later, but I can't seem to find any recent info about it.
I'm asking because I pre-ordered DX:MD a couple of weeks ago from Games Republic, but there is still no Steam key in my games list on the site. I then saw comments on their store page from other people saying that it's not a pre-order like you get in other places with the stupid bonus stuff, but just a pre-order of the final retail game.
I only pre-order stuff if I find a good deal on it, and I got it from Games Republic for $39.99 which is a good deal. GMG has the real pre-order for only $5 more. I'm tempted to request a refund and buy it from GMG. |

What the god damn fuck! I'm not creating a fucking Microsoft account just to disable shit I don't want and didn't ask for.
The article also tells how to do it without making the account:
Open Registry Editor (Run > regedit)
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore
Set the value of DWORD "GameDVR_Enabled" to 0
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
Create key "GameDVR"
Create DWORD 32bit called "AllowgameDVR" and set to 0
Hope that helps.
I know. My point is that to do it the normal way requires an account. A lot of people aren't comfortable editing the registry. |

I finished my new PC build weeks ago, but I haven't played a game on it yet because I've been fighting with Windows 10. It's like Windows 10 is bipolar. There are has good things that I really like about it, then there are things that just piss me off. MS needs to stop trying to make a universal desktop that works for everything. You can probably make something that works OK on all devices, or create a separate interface for each one that works better.
I did get Steam installed this past weekend and copied over the games from my old drive. I made sure my Steam controller worked, then I tried to launch Steam in big picture using my XBOX 360 controller and kept getting that game bar popup instead. I searched on the Steam forums and saw people saying you had to go into the XBOX app and turn off the DVR shit, but I didn't get around to that yet. Those forum posts didn't mention anything about requiring a Microsoft account.
What is the process for going back to Windows 7 if I "upgraded" during a clean install? I never actually had Windows 7 on my new machine. I'm considering staying on Windows 10 for the new machine just because I'll probably eventually have to "upgrade" when DX12 games start coming out. I also "upgraded" my old machine to Windows 10 with a clean install, but I'm considering going back to Windows 7 on it because it won't be upgraded any farther and it will save me the hassle of not having to fix two machines every time MS pulls some bullshit like this. |
