Talking about Imgur, do any of you have accounts on there, or are you just straight uploading on there like I do?

Also, I can't figure out Flickr and how to use images on forums.

I have both Imgur and Flickr accounts. I am always logged in on both so i can have control over images i upload. I use Flickr for screenshots and Imgur for everything else.

If you want to post Flickr image on forums you have 2 options. First one is to click share button (arrow between download and edit photo) and choose BBCode. You can also can choose thumbnail size and then just copy generated link and past on forum (thumbnail will be posted and it will be clickable). Or you can click on download button and choose all sizes, choose size and when image loads you can do right click on image and copy choose copy image address, then just choose insert image on forum and paste link.

The right-click on Download is alright. I just wish it would automatically add a

But when I do Share > BBcode it does this, and I have to remove the url and my name manually every time and that's annoying:

Yeap it is annoying. And worst thing is that URL contains your real name when you are logged in and not your nick. But if you are not logged in it shows your username.

Nope. The launcher booted straight into the game. Try installing the redists; it's possible that the launcher detects you're missing something and is trying to run an installer that doesn't exist.

I found a solution

I deleted the game again and redownloaded it to drive C: instead of drive E:


I don't know why this would be a problem but the game works now :)

Yeah, and I am logged in all the time. I think I will have to go back to Imgur for sharing images. And then just use flicker for backup of avatars, wallpapers and my photos on the phone. It doesn't compress my photos from my phone right?

General rule is Flickr for uncompressed backups/host, Imgur for avatars and things that are not important even if they are compressed. Imgur compresses images after certain file size i think.

For you.
There is no best controller and if there was it would be a Frankenstein creation of about 10 different pads over the years. Even then lots of elements come down to preference.

Actually this has given me an idea on something I was planning on doing anyways but let's have a show of hands and try something simple. What is your favourite dpad ever? Hopefully we'll get a list of 10 different ones and we'll go from there.
Vita's Dpad is awesome.

I still don't understand who they were targeting with this sale. Tax refunds? People who forgot to buy something over the winter sale? China? People looking to buy valentine's presents?

I have no idea why i quoted this? ninja edit no wait they were targeting me i remember now lol

SteamGAF alert.


LiEat is a fun little game. Seems well worth the 3$ asking price.

Edit: They are also free here:

Hmm why not release all three as a bundle?

Just finished Expeditions: Conquistador. Fantastic strategy game, with so much to explore and discover. Interesting historical setting, nice difficulty, engaging story and quests with choices that actually do matter a lot.
Definitely not recommended for people who dislike reading though. There is a ton of text, but it is well written and I loved reading it.

Damn now i wish i had bought this two weeks ago when it was on sale

Please stop taunting me with mafia 2 stuff - i knew i should have picked it up

GCN's d-pad!!!! It saddens me such an amazing controller receives so little attention.

Just spent the weekend playing Hacknet, which I won from Sch1sm's giveaway.

By far my favourite hacking simulator I've played yet.

I've read the dev of Hacknet plans to implement multiplayer and an expansion, I look forward to going back into it once they add all those new stuff to it.

Its the Saturn dpad by far for me. It's sad that Microsoft looked like they where trying to rip it off with multiple circle style dpads going back to the sidewinder but they failed spectacularly every time.

Sega Saturn > PS Vita > most Nintendo d-pads > anything else

A slightly larger Vita d-pad would have been perfect for me.

Here ends my play of Darkness Within 2. The game is very bugged.


this puzzle piece is supposed to be on the table with other pieces, because you need it to


compose this. But of course in my game the piece is floating in the air and I can't interact with it.

I tried to verify the cache, loading an older save, but the game is always bugged.
 
Baldur's Gate is very difficult.

I never found it to be that bad. The first is probably tougher because (outside of some game-breaking stuff that can be found/done really early), you don't get really good armor until the late game. II is a lot more lenient in this respect.

BG1 in a nutshell:
- Play on Hard
- Start a wizard
- Roll 1 HP
- ...
- Restart the game

I can't say I've ever liked a Dpad that much. They do their job and then I kind of forget about them.

There hasn't been a dpad I liked after they introduced the psx, I've always hated the button-like dpad, we don't use dpad that much since all the games are 3d so I don't really care.
 
One thing that would push me to use Windows Store would be subscription option for Movies/TV Shows. They have good catalog for both and because you can change regions easily you would have all content. Also they are big so they could negotiate region lock removal with big movie studios.

But for games and apps nope.

What I really need is the true PC game features.
Apparently, they've addressed the issue, but I guess I'll just wait and see.

Anything I should know before getting to work dusting my PC?

Picked up a can of this on the way home, appropriate?

I can not recommend this enough.

Picked it up a couple years back for $60. Has probably paid for itself several times over considering how much canned air I used to buy to clean my computer, not to mention don't have to worry about it sometimes spritzing out liquid like canned air can if you tilt it too much to get hard to reach areas.

Have had two of these, both broke after 1 minutes use. =;(

Even after I had bought a transformer to correct how much volt it uses here in Scandinavia.

But it's great, I just wish I knew how to use it without it breaking and smoke coming out of it.

The reason film availability tends to be so scattershot when it comes to digital distribution services is that different companies have distribution rights for different territories. For instance, if Lionsgate were to put up Brooklyn, it'd be limited to the UK because Fox has the rights for the Americas and Continental Europe, Transmission for Australia and New Zealand, etc. There's nothing to negotiate -- the best MS could do to ensure worldwide availability is get in touch with each and every distributor and sell them on the platform.
