I think that was always a false positive. Ive never had a problem with their software or games, but i know back in the day, whenever i did have it installed my anti-virus would say it was a virus, i just ignored it.

Aren't these the guys who would install free mouse pointers when it was cool, and then also install a crap-o-la of software behind the back of the user? LOL, yeah I remember them. Away from me you beast!

They also included some sort of plugin with Winamp and Netscape Navigator way back in the early 2000s. Away, I say!

It looks like a nice exposure to WWII shooters :D

Screw you, EA.

If it's all harmless marketing research ware I don't mind. The only thing that's bugging me as I install this is that it didn't let me choose which drive I wanted to put it on and I don't think I'm going to be able to back up to disk so the next time I format, bye bye Fate.

Hi, sorry, but i just want to ask a quick question:

I pre-ordered Shogun 2 from D2D and i was wondering if anybody has any idea or qualified guess as to when i will recieve my SteamCode. Steam JUST opened up for download now, but i haven't heard anything from D2D. I not being impatient (I hadn't expected the game to be available tonight). But as steam is going for it i would just like to know. It'd be nice if i could set it to download before i go to bed (as my line is slow).

how are the new odd world games anyone played them?

Difficult to say. I'm surprised you haven't had an e-mail from them already as I got mine from GetGames about 9pm.

Just wondering, if you don't want those TF2 items... ;)

I've only seen a Let's Play of Stranger's Wrath. Seemed pretty strange, being one of the (well, duh) oddest third person shooters I've seen.

It seems that if you get them on steam, eventually it will be upgraded to the HD remake that is being made for the PS3 when that is released. On the PC, of course.

He pre-ordered from D2D, so he doesn't get them.

They're great. Not too much like the Abe games, but good stuff. I liked Stranger's Wrath more than Munch's Oddysee, but they're both worth playing.

I bought the pack when they released it on Steam during the holidays, and it's currently at a good price once again. Back when it was released, the XBox ports had a lot of problems. Some people are still having issues, if you're wary, but personally I think they fixed things up fairly quickly, and the games run pretty fine now, at least for me.

Of course, the original two games run just as flawlessly as they always have. I run XP Pro SP3 if that matters to you (and being XBox games, the latter two run fine on a Pentium 4 3.2GHz, 2GB of DDR ram, and a 512MB AGP GeForce 7600 GS).

I don't know how it does on Vista or 7, I'm the wrong guy to ask about that sort of thing, but I wouldn't mind getting a new computer sometime. It's been upgraded well since 2001 but it's been a decade and I could benefit from, say, multiple cores, sata drives, and PCI-e, among other things, but I'm just not sure there's a lot of options in the $300-$400 price range! Wouldn't mind a proper computer desk, an optical mouse, some speakers that don't have to be hit to work right, and a monitor that exceeds 1280x1024 (Though I only got a new monitor a few months ago, I've been enjoying having a flatscreen with auto adjust and no dials. I found it in a thrift store for $75 and it works fine). Also, headphones that don't make my ears feel bruised after 30 minutes would be swell, though I've spent good money on a good number of them, I just have poor luck with finding good ones I can afford.

...maybe if I didn't buy so many damn GOGs, but my machine runs every last one of them just fine on max settings and it was totally worth it! ;_;


Well, I've digressed terribly. I tend to do that. Point is, Oddboxx is great. Just be wary that you may have some issues, but other than that, it's a fine choice, especially if you've never played any of them before (and even if you've played both the Abe games, which I'm assuming you have from your post).



I hadn't been keeping up with this news in a while. That's very cool to hear. So yeah, there you go. That's another incentive.

The minimum sys reqs for Stranger's Wrath is pretty high. Would you say that they're overexaggerating?

If you've missed it on Steam

GamersGate has Red Alert 3 for $7

But for some reason the stand alone expansion is not on sale.
Not many new ones though and they all expire in 6 days.

Maybe the ones they release on Friday will be the new one for this week?
