    Steam scam-mitigation plan

    I didn't see this posted elsewhere here (and I'm not sure where to post this myself, so here we are). From Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/steam-limits-users-who-haven-t-spent-5-to-prevent-/1100-6426742/). Short version straight from the article: I've only had a few scammers/bots...

    New Borderlands Pre-Sequel

    I'm fairly excited to say the least about this release (not to be confused with the next Head Hunter pack that's due shortly as well). Who's down? Official site: http://borderlandsthegame.com/index.php/news/us-announcing-borderlands-the-pre-sequel

    Wanted - a few good Menn

    I would very much like to play some Mann Up co-op with some players who know their way around these TF2 modes. It's been fun and games playing so far with random public players, but I don't think we'll be able to take on the expert levels if only two of us are playing with voice chat, the heavy...

    Odd drops as of the last TF2 update

    Banana peels? Navel lint? Goldfish? Wooden planks? What's going on here. The Internet is awash in speculation - if Valve's intention was to throw people mysterious, subtle clues about something, mission accomplished.

    Basic 'hl2.exe has crashed' errors

    I started getting these maybe two updates ago, and haven't been able to play. It just updated again today, and the game still hangs. I've tried some basic things (verifying cache integrity, deleting clientregistry.blog, deleting the bin folder, and changing the resolution in the launch options)...

    Alice Madness Returns

    I just picked this up today and have been playing it a bit. First impressions: What engine is this? I kept thinking I was in Rapture when playing, and watching textures load and glitch on occasion... must be Unreal. American McGee (like he did with the QuakeIII engine with the original game)...

    Bicycle Brake Theory

    I'm after opinions about mountain bike disk brake setup. I do three types of braking: one where I need to come to a stop fast (emergency, for example), shedding speed over a long mellow downhill (ten+ miles for a long one), and shedding speed over a steep downhill. For emergency stopping and...

    Anyone have experience using EasyBCD?

    I'm looking to try this software, and was wondering if anyone here has experience with it, and additionally, any feedback on the software. Thanks in advance.

    Outside

    What is everyone up to now that the snow has mostly melted (here anyway)? Please post here any outdoor things you're up to (camping, cycling, swimming, hiking... the like). Pictures would be great. I've been up to quite a bit myself, but to keep this brief and to seed the tip jar, here's one...

    Gears of War hangs

    I'm trying to run Gears of War and it fully locks up Windows when you go to load a campaign (the little "loading" gear turns a few degrees, then everything freezes... mouse, keyboard, etc.) I ran it in windowed mode to see if it was just the program that was stuck, but it freezes Windows...

    Going to Japan for two weeks

    I will be in Japan for two weeks in April (Kyoto), first time there. Anyone else been/live there? I'm interested in things worth seeing, things to avoid, fun things to do, etc.

    Preferred method for closing programs in Windows

    ...there's not much more to it than that, I'm wondering what the most common option used for closing a program* in Windows is (in case it's different than what I'd expect). It's probably a mix of various options, so post them in order of use in your reply. For example, here's mine: File +...

    Bioshock Audio

    I'm interested in getting Bioshock to work with the ProLogic audio setting. To date, the game has only worked with the forward speakers. I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit and the sound card is an X-Mystique (original Auzentech card). This card goes through a TOSLINK cable to a Yamaha receiver. This...

    Forum etiquette

    What is the preferred method for contributing to an 'old' topic in a new way? Replying to an existing thread gets people static for, well, replying to an old thread. Posting a new thread about the same topic gets complaints about not using the search function, although quoting the original...

    Quake II question

    In the 'secret' Sudden Death level, there's a BFG10K hidden behind the timer. Is there a way to get that legitimately?

    Help: Recent sketchy performance in TF2

    Just today I started getting bad performance in TF2, but only when there were a lot of people on the screen. Has anyone else seen this? I don't think it's a hardware limitation, because until today my computer played this game just fine (and will play Crysis, for example, with all settings maxed...

    Soldier or Demo

    ...can't believe this isn't up somewhere else (if it is, please kill this thread). Would you rather have the Demo or the Soldier awarded the 7th weapon?

    Hilarious TF2 Achievements

    Note! These are from early 2008, and may have been posted here somewhere (a cursory search didn't turn anything up though - if so, close this thread). Anyway, Somethingawful.com has some custom achievements that are super funny...

    Unlockable Weapon Trading Post

    So Valve has apparently indicated that we'd be able to trade unlocked (found) weapons in the future. I propose that someone (maybe a moderator or in a pinch, I'll do it) start a thread, where each user will have a single, main post containing 'wanted' and 'for sale' items, kind of like an online...

    Poll - Should Natascha be able to slow ubers?

    Should fire from Natascha be able to slow (but obviously not damage) an ubered medic and his patient? I've been debating this in my head and am torn either way.
