[quote who="Replicators" reply="31" id="3433536"] Quoting Azmodean77, reply 29 I thought steam has linux games now, and the list is growing. 480 games available for Linux. A tiny number compared to the rest.[/quote] even if every single title from here on now work under linux, it'll still take years before people ditch their back catalogue. practically guaranteed the devs won't back port their old games to linux. most of them

..... saga of candy friends? lawsuit bait?

[quote who="uberlicker" reply="35" id="3435408"] Yah, never seen or heard of any grappling hook bug.[/quote] you use grappling hook to go somewhere, but the game sometimes decides to send your man somewhere else. in my case, there was that map with the dams... and my sniper kept getting sent to the bottom of the towers where the locks are with no way out. xD (something similar also happened on another map) a google search will tell you someone else had their man sent bac

bought it (within), played it for a bit and got seriously fed up with the grappling hook bug sending my men all over the map. so giving up for now. they are seriously slack with the patching and bug fixing. i imagine it's understandable for the console versions, but pc? pfft

here's the thing.. whose network are those appliances using?

the idea is that they don't like windows 8+ with its own store built in... and possibility of ms going down the apple route.. and getting locked out...

just make the rts thing with your oxide engine

what amd/intel cpu doesn't support 64bit nowadays? i don't think that'll be a worry.

bit scary if you moved and the new occupants found a jar of honey in the post.... cue... dea. homeland security...

... there's always x'mas sales XD forgot to say.. 75% off for civ on steam..

did they patch the vanilla with fixes now that the expansion is out?? i read the 4 gig update is mostly if not all just vids...

yet amd has been browbeaten into saying mantle isn't for the consoles.....

as mentioned. simple fix. don't buy things that requires steam. or go down the unmentionable route.

you read about the fact that steam offline mode as it stand is totally bugged (though functional some/most of the time) and they are still working on a proper fix? XD http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-04-valve-working-to-make-offline-mode-indefinite

... just wait till you see the spherical stuff and the barges getting sunk.

it depends on what the dev/publisher did to the game or what they want to use steam for. if a game's exe tells it to run steam, it'll run steam. even playing games with steam offline would still require steam loading 1st.. for games that loads steam upon execution.

... doesn't work if it's steamworks game (like lh) surely. i mean, i would imagine the ones that don't require steam client to be loaded are simply using steam as the shop and not the other stuff.

[quote who="Kantok" reply="2" id="3414714"] You can't ship it overseas because??? Is it a license thing?[/quote] most countries have strict rules against transport of .. food/plants/animals/etc

so.. given the multi core focus, how would the extra cores on amd compare to the intel quads?

if cisco employees can sort of ddos their own company via email reply-to-alls .. what do you expect would happen to any gov site? technical difficulties or disaster is par for the course of any IT project. especially public sector ones.

the 280x is just old stuff rebadged and tweaked. hate it when they all keep doing that

yes... but did you meet the god of gamblers?
