[GMG] THQ 5-pack. Metro 2033, DoW2, CoH, Saints Row 2, Red Faction: Guerilla. £19.94 (all Steam) by tastes_of_vanillain GameDeals

Saints Row 2 may have been a great console game but it was a horrendous port on the PC.

Question About Specs by TylerJaden24in Torchlight

I'm concerned about your video card. Geforce 9100 is low end according to the linked site. T2 isn't a demanding game but that card may be too slow for it.

What is a "fumble attack"? by that_mn_kidin Torchlight

[–]thinkforaminute 0 points1 point ago

I had the opposite experience. I'm playing an embermage and wasn't putting any points in dexterity. I was getting pink numbers all the time until I started adding to dexterity.

What is your most favorite level in a video game? by DryAsphaltin truegaming

[–]thinkforaminute 2 points3 points ago

The final level of Command and Conquer - GDI side. The level design was so perfect and so tough that I knew I had to prepare for it and set aside an entire evening to be able to finish it. Still showed up bleary eyed at work the next day.

Really looking forward to trying out Dark Souls when it's released for the PC.

No doubt. My greatest swindle was convincing my parents I needed one to help with my homework.

Torchlight II beta thoughts. (x post /r/games) by ZoomyRamenin Torchlight

[–]thinkforaminute 0 points1 point ago

I played on veteran as an embermage and found myself really squishy for the first 10 levels or so. Part of the reason was playing suboptimally because I was testing out different skills. I died a few times in dungeons for stupid reasons. I find I have to keep feeding my pet health a LOT more than I was in Torchlight 1. Z for my health, Shift-Z for pet health really helps a lot - were these key commands in T1?

Poor Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning, didn't even make the list.

This looks interesting. Has anyone played this?

Truegaming: What games have you always dreamed of being made? by lappy482in truegaming

[–]thinkforaminute 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I figure it would take a Bethesda sized budget to make it first person. Not familiar with Legend of Grimrock, sorry.

Truegaming: What games have you always dreamed of being made? by lappy482in truegaming

A remake of Seven Cities of Gold.

For those who aren't old it was an exploration game where you are Christopher Columbus and are discovering the New World for the first time. The game was innovative in that it was able to create random maps so you really were discovering new islands and continents every time you played. It would keep track of the percentage of the New World you found, any landmarks such as hidden treasure, different tribes you discover (aka Aztecs, Mayans, etc.) and allow you to establish trade or conquer them.

To my knowledge it was the first truly "open world" exploration game and the random map generator gave it infinite replayability. At the time it was viewed with a top-down perspective but technology has made a first person perspective (i.e. Skyrim) possible. Could be interesting and, if done well, incredibly immersive.

That is a giant ball of fluff!

I noticed someone on a recent trip through the prison by yyZigguratin pathofexile

[–]thinkforaminute 6 points7 points ago

Yeah, I've seen that too. Runs off when you approach and doesn't seem to turn up anywhere else in the prison.

What is your "never again" brand, item, store, or restaurant ? by radbrad7in AskReddit

[–]thinkforaminute 2 points3 points ago

I haven't been to an Exxon since they destroyed the Alaskan coastline. Had to stop Mobil since they bought them too. Now I have to stop buying gas at BP. Someone better invent a solar car quick because I'm running out of gas stations.

Also, parmesan cheese. Can't eat it. To me it tastes just like vomit.

I assumed the first character slot was free but we would have to pay for the second and up since they're for sale for $3 a pop.

Is there a website that tracks what manufactures are doing in terms of reducing package sizes while keeping prices the same? Latest example: I bought Natures Valley Granola bars and they have reduced the package from 8 bars to 6 - a substantial price increase. by z_impalerin AskReddit

[–]thinkforaminute 1 point2 points ago

Better yet, it wasn't long ago that the two-liter bottles were $.99. Now they've started putting 1 liter bottles on the shelves and conspicuously advertise that they're "only $.99."

38 Studios having financial difficulties? by Nyblingin kingdomsofamalur

Looks like 38 Studios may have defaulted on a loan payment. (source)

So I barely missed the open beta weekend, is it worth the 10$ risk or shall I wait for the next weekend? by Novobangin pathofexile

[–]thinkforaminute 0 points1 point ago

Silly me, I purchased a character slot for my 2nd character. I guess I should have checked first.

[Let's Play] Solo Ranger Gameplay [videos 1-4] by izzalionin pathofexile

[–]thinkforaminute 1 point2 points ago

Just one suggestion - don't read quest text out loud verbatim as you (and most people) talk slower than viewers can read. Nice vids, though. What was the issue with the last video? Does FRAPS start having problems after recording an hour?
