Cozen: Unfortunately the GMA 950 video you have is just below the cut-off for Mac Torchlight requirements, though it does support it in Windows. Also, there are supposedly issues with the card drivers if you're not using 10.6 on it.

Age of Empires III $0.10

Beyond Good and Evil for $5, is that worth grabbing?

AoE 3 for 10 cents is ridiculous, that's the amazing side of DLC no doubt

you can also get it for 10MS points on GFWL

if the point was to get me to download the games for windows client, it worked.

oh, i see, there's also an updated terms of use that probably reflects evil shit alterations to how they can fuck you over with MS points and XBox Lilve and waives kinect spying so that microsoft can watch you jerk off in front of the tv. Fair trade!

JimD it's actually $6.99 to buy just one game.

o yeh.

I'm not even an RTS fan but for 10 cents, why not

well cuz it's not installing would be my answer
microsoft customer service not being real helpful

The last thing I needed was another game, but I am not passing up AoE3 for 10 cents. Absurd.

If the point of putting a game on sale is to sell your service, GoD is doing a very, very bad job of that today! No product keys for almost everyone who tried to download AoE3 today.

Games for Windows, rather. No idea what GoD is. lol

There is no GoD.

while trying to set up age of empires i followed through a series of microsoft suggestions to make the dl/install work
then i restarted my computer
computer is now totally bricked BSOD and cannot even start in safe mode
writing from gf computer
totally pissed right now
fuck these guys i am totally trading them off madden when i get home

wow. good thing i put off installing it!

(sorry to hear that forks)

yeah i'm fuming
was planning on a new computer shortly, backed up bookmarks and all media's on an external but even so this is a kick in the nuts

Wow that sucks. Sorry forks that you gotta deal with that late on a Sunday. Hope you can fix it.

think i'm gonna have to just buy a new pc; can't even get this open in safe mode.
prolly gonna have to see if I can pay work IT guy to salvage C/D drives and hit up dell to have something delivered in the first week of December. Not a good time for it but i suppose it never is.

That fucking blows. So sorry.

forks can't you boot it up from a Windows disk?

Computer shipped without a physical disk. Trying to see if i can get my IT guy at work to help me get it booted after the holidays but i just started there and he's not on site, so...

the steam thing they're doing right now is every day they pick 30 people and give them the top 5 games on their wishlist for free

so start loading up your wishlists

done

Indie Story Pack http://store.steampowered.com/sub/6790/

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
And Yet It Moves
Puzzle Agent
Jolly Roger
Gish

$4.99

Jolly Rover, rather

Is Recettear worth playing? Note that i usually quite enjoy the JRPG mechanic despite myself.

so bought,thats a ridiculous price
other indie packs still to come
Indie Air Pack: Altitude, DogFighter, Flotilla, Gratuitous Space Battles, Plain Sight
Indie Clever Pack: Doc Clock: The Toasted Sandwich of Time, Eufloria, Iron Grip: Warlord, VVVVVV, World of Goo
Indie Pulse Pack: Audiosurf, Beat Hazard, Bit Trip Beat, The Polynomial, Rhythm Zone
Indie Puzzle Pack: Cogs, Droplitz, Puzzle Dimension, Shatter, Tidalis

holy shit, $5? i was planning to get in on a (rumored) group gift pack for Recettear along for more than $5, getting Puzzle Agent and AYIM are awesome bonuses

recettear's gotten great reviews.
would buy it if i had a working computer (Sadface)

feel like I'm always asking stupid questions like this, but: will a current gen 13" MBP run most modern PC games under boot camp at an OK pace (medium details eg)?

gonna use this thread here also to gripe about how the console deals look pretty weak this year, unless you're looking for a PSP or DS

i think i'll pass on today's pack (see zappi's post)

Torchlight AND Tropico 3 on sale today, biting on both

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/6253/

Yeah, go for Tropico 3 Gold. the game & the expansion for $seven fiddy american.

done my wishlist. would be cool if any ilxors get a freebie

Indie pulse pack is up - gettin' it pretty much just for Bit Trip Beat, as I already have Audiosurf, and I'm curious enough about Beat Hazard and The Polynomial to make it a regretless purchase.

lfd2 £3.75

really tempted to get the King's Bounty bundle and the Lara Croft game...

Orange Box $7.50 on steam

Picked up the Pulse Pack today- I was hoping for a steeper discount on Bit.Trip Beat alone, but its discounted price is the same as the pack. Who knows, some of the other titles could be decent (though I'm pissed I can't give away the extra copy of Audiosurf).

At amazon I picked up AC:Brotherhood ($40, not the best deal but December is going to be HELL at work and I need a nice pile of completist open-worldy video games to keep myslef sane), Just Cause 2 ($26) and Resonance of Fate ($20).

you're going to LOVE Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2 down to £9.95 on Zavvi Mega Monday tomorrow + Dead Rising 2 at £17.95.

ditto JC2, a welcome break of an open world where the aim is purely to just have FUN!
