I was having problems with my Batman AA savegame so I contacted Eidos about it as there was no logical reason it shouldn't be working.
So, simply put, GFWL fucks up your save games. Fucking marvellous! Like we needed another reason to hate that shit.

No kidding - those are some of the worst fanboys I know :p especially since I neither like Macs nor Steam. I'm surprised the universe hasn't imploded by mixing the two.

Probably Steam forums mods have to work very hard to maintain trolling and flaming in normal amount.

they aren't saints either

By pouring on the petrol and throwing in a lit match?

It is. But thanks. This will come in handy in future.

got that dotp mtg game... wont load keeps crashing....tried a bunch of things to try and fix... yet has not worked thus far....
Well... it looks like on the boards others are having issues as well... a lot of issues... So... guess no more buying any of the expansion packs, nor any other WotC games...
oh well...
FUCKING STEAM!
You know what I hate more then anything in the world??? Not being able to buy shit when I wanna buy shit! Lol....

My current address is a Hotel in Pattaya, why oh why would I change my billing address to Thailand when tomorrow I will be in another country?

Bought StarCraft 1 (with Brood War) for £5 yesterday. It came in a box with the 2 CDs (that's right, Blizzard didn't bother combining it onto 1 DVD, despite demanding both to be installed in the same install) stacked on top of each other, so the only way to get at the Brood War disc is to remove the StarCraft disc. Give me one of thouse flappy disc holders in a box (like the GameCube's multiple disc games) any day of the week. Hell, I'll take the Orange Box style of multidisc management (where one disc is in the usual spot, and the other is in a plastic sleeve in the manual holder). However, the less said about Rome: TW Anthology's box, the better (3 discs stacked on top of each other, it's bloody awkward to remove them and the disc checks demand the right disc is used to run each expansion. Sheesh).

Well I guess this is off topic, because it looks to me like Gamersgate now have decent download speeds. Let's hope this isn't a passing fad.

If you've seen a sudden increase in download speeds, they've either set up new servers in Europe, or you've been connecting to the US servers (which you probably shouldn't be).
I can remember when they finally switched my region over to the US servers, the speeds literally doubled. I still connect to the Europe ones from time to time though =/

I don't know what server I was connected to as the downloader is very light on features. But we're talking about a jump from 300kbps to 1.2mbps here. Given that 1.2 is the maximum I can expect out of this connection, it might well be even higher.

gah. Steam sales available at work, but not available at home!!
I don't think i'll ever get to try mass effect...

You know that you can buy from the website now right? You don't necessarily need the client to buy a game.

yeah. But i'm not keen on shopping from work.. for reasons of security, and other things.
Plus I doubt it'd actually work as my company seems to have blocked HTTPS connections, which I'd guess steam would use.
Can't log in to many things from there...
