Also, the reason why I posted so soon (I do try to avoid posting 2/3).
Acknowledgement of the new engine, Source 2. That makes me very happy to hear.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Since my google-fu has failed me, I'll ask. How does the bug work?

I currently have 5 Planetside 2 beta keys, message me if you are interested in one.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
I recently downloaded Assassin's Creed 1, and I've encountered a glitch where the sound doesn't match up with the mouth movements of the person speaking. At first I thought my graphics settings were too high, but lowering them doesn't seem to have helped. Anybody have ideas on how to fix this?

This isn't a glitch; lip-synching just wasn't a common thing in 2007.
You've been spoiled by modern gaming. :smalltongue:

I understand that prospective.
Reminds me of a conversation I had with my Dad a few months ago (ok maby half a year ago). I was talking about that 1998 was the best if not one of the best years in Video game history and I mentioned Half-life come out. He was convinced it was more around 2000, and HL2 came out around 2005. I ended up googling it for him.
He felt old. Doesn't help me any either, I remember it coming out and getting him to install it (Didn't quite trust me with that back then :P).

I figured out what was going on--turns out that Folding@Home was interfering with AC1 for graphics card power.

I remember booting up Assassin's Creed when I got my Xbox a couple years back, and thought, "holy cow, this looks amazing!"
I reinstalled Assassin's Creed II, and I realized that while the game itself is still stellar, the graphics do not hold up.
Plus, 2007 was five years ago. Let the paranoia sink in.

See, for me, I see it as "2007 was only five years ago". Slightly different emphasis, but it completely changes the meaning of that line.

Oh how I miss the days of LAN-parties. Yes lugging around however many computers/tvs/x-boxes was a pain, but it was always pretty great getting 10-20 people in a house to do an all nighter playing one game or another.
Some friends and I tried to do some LAN a few years back, only to learn that most modern x-box games restricted LAN use to one player per unit, which is like the designers waving a giant middle finger at the concept of the LAN-party.

That's a thing you run when you aren't using the computer. Set it up as a screensaver or something.

Well I'm 16, and seeing how much my life has changed since then, and how far technology has advanced since then, 5 years is a very long time.

Ironically, pushing it more often than not made PC slower http://i.imgur.com/N2nfK.png
But these were the days where 3D accelerator cards caused drop in FPS, so... :E
Also, this.

It's been ages. My first computer was a Mac (and I hated it for being so basic), my second was a Windows '98 desktop (with a kickass Voodoo3 2000 AGP, maaaaaan), and then there was a gap of HP (ugh) laptops my mom bought (dammit, mom), and finally, my laptop for my 15th birthday (now I'm building a desktop).

Everything except for the speakers and the headphones is older than 2007.

We should totally play some 2142 sometime.

That's one sturdy keyboard, then. Mine is not even a year old and I already broke the A key's little spring-things. Damn shooters and their useful strafing.

Well it should be, considering it is a hulking beast that does not fit in a normal keyboard tray. Oh, and I don't have the armrest attached to it. That would make it even bigger.
Good thing it has 18 configurable keys with three tabs for a total of 54 keys for every profile. Makes playing Dota so much easier.

Re: [Steam]-y Thread 30: Throwing titles out the window!
Apparently the new Call of Duty game isn't that bad.
*Laugh track*
I'm serious! It's innovating the genre really well!
*Laugh track*
Maybe you should try playing it first?
*Audience gasp*
Don't be so quick to judge! It might be decent!
