I have had no problem with UPlay so far. and they have now scratch always-online requirements for all games (I think)

You have a good point.

Not really. In realize his comment was likely tongue in cheek, but much of the weight in that expression is because people don't want to eat horse. i.e. they're so hungry that they're willing to eat something they've no desire to ever eat.

Similarly, I've often heard the expression "I'm so hungry I could eat the south end of a north bound skunk". I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean people actually want to find skunk ass in their food (or that they shouldn't complain about it if they do). :P

I want to eat horse. All I've heard about horse meat is that it is delicious and lean. Sounds good to me!

It is. We have this very nice sausage made from sheep and horsemeat. It is very nice on fresh bread with a little bit of mayonnaise.

WHats it taste like?..... seen Llama sausages advertised here recently.. those poor furry animals....;)

all animals are furry? (except those strange cats....) anyway, the taste is very unique, but very nice.

I have no problem with horse meat on my table. I do have a problem with horse meat labeled and sold as beef.
Anyway, can we get back to, you know, gaming deals and similar stuff?

Reptiles are not furry as far as I know and neither are birds!
Some bugs are though. Some.

This is the gaming deals thread...right?

It is supposed to be............

Gaming deals are made of horse meat.

I do, one time I purchased from their shop they had a glitch (big sale) the game didn't show up at first and I got refunded by price. Eventually the game was added to my account, I don't think I ever got charged, but it was like a buck really close to right after the service launched so I didn't worry about checking or "fixing it" if they failed to charge me the dollar.

Since then I've used it for a couple of games, it works fine, the client is better looking than Steam and works like you'd expect a game client to work. Their rewards system for completing the equivalent of uPlay achievements can either be redeemed for bits of free DLC (like costumes or an extra weapon skin or something) or something like a console theme or desktop wallpaper download. The criteria for their rewards aren't very brutal for most games, not compared to even middle of the road achievements on other platforms. You can use points from one game to buy a reward in another if you want.

That's about it, I'm wracking my brain, I think uPlay might allow social integration into XBox Live and maybe PSN as well, but I can't recall (Origin has this for sure). It seems to me that only Steam is adamant about only playing "with themselves" on social.

Windows 7 Home Premium, up to date pacthes, if that matters.

Afterfall: Insanity Extended Edition $10 -50% on Steam
like a melee version of Dead Space 1. There are some guns to help you out but are never enough to survive.
A bit short, a bit linear but man this one has some psycho whacked stuff to show off.
