Wasn't that a 2007 game?

Never underestimate the stupidity of some publishers - they added more DRM to the Steam game than the normal one, crazy isn't it? Well, it will act like a normal version of Clear Sky until you install it five times and then, bam, you've got an error saying you have run out of activations. You can contact TAGES and request more, the information on how to do this is on the Steam forums, and they'll generally give those out - but still, I would have not recommended that version of the game (the boxed version, the one I have, has TAGES but it is only a DVD-check and not the limited installations/activations).

The second set of graphs are from a Linux-based system running open-source drivers, and I'm sure there is more information is in the original article if you want it.

****, you're in for a "good time" with that one - the Steam version has more DRM (id est installation limits) than the boxed DVD.

I'm already regretting buying Doom and Doom 2 - although they were only $0.99 each and thus not too much of a regret. Luckly I've only gone about $10 into the hole so far, maybe I'll spend more later but for now I think I'll stick with what I've got.

Let me see, off the top of my head here are some games from 2008 that were worth the money I paid for them... Fallout 3 Left 4 Dead Assassin's Creed de Blob S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky Super Smash Brothers Brawl The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Tomb Raider: Underworld

Thank you...I'm just astonished anyone remembers me. I remember you too!

Damn, damn, damn... Now I'll have to decide if my hatred of MMOs or my love of The World of Darkness is greater - unless it's a non-pay-for-play game that is...

No - it is not. I've got a 1.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo in one of my laptops and it can play anything I've thrown at it including Crysis (albeit at lower settings). EDIT: And, yeah, desktops kick laptop arse - but it's nice to have both.

I'm buying way too much - oh well, it's for a good cause (id est, my entertainment).

I've got a few of those going as well - although they're going alot better than the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ones.

"S.T.A.L.K.E.R. The Shadow of Chernobyl - Oblivion Lost: Homebrew Edition." a.k.a. Let's see how badly I can ****-up modding the game this time!

No, but you do have to open it via Steam (although there is a way around this that only require you to find the .exe and launch from that instead). Yes.

Left 4k Dead!

All of them or only Spore? I cannot find the article at the moment.

Looks like they still have the SecuROM virus. Any confirmation? Everything I've heard has said that they won't have SecuROM. Nothing from EA or Steam, but some of the forum users have noticed that the EULA agreements have not been altered from the orriginals - and those included something about the games having to be activated via an on-line connection and that they had a limited number of instalations (just like Crysis Warhead, it also had SecuROM). Still, other places have been saying Spore, and maybe more of the titles, does not have it...

Looks like they still have the SecuROM virus.

I bought a second copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. off Steam seeing as it was only $4.99 and I bought a copy of Fallout 2 off Good Old Games to gift to a friend.

I thought it got canceled, or is that misinformation?

Missing out on a great CRPG! Meh... It was good but not that good, and it was more action-RPG than CRPG.

I think that about describes women in general, if you replace "every fall" with "every end of the month". Well, life would be lesser without them...

It's not as bad as the Arkansas Unmarried Couple Adoption Ban.
