RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - BATTLE ROYALE


Recommended Posts

They have two teams right? The Dis2 and the Prey one? Unfortunately I think Harvey Smith is taking an extended sabbatical, much like Josh Sawyer, last I heard. Hopefully it comes back to direct something new.

Maybe they should do a temporary job swap. Have some cameras follow them around in their new jobs too and sell it as a reality TV show.

Steams Friends had a big revamp. It has some problems, and there are some things I like about it, and some things I don't. Hope they fix the stuff that I don't (e.g. auto-rendering on images, videos, gifs - that should definitely be an option...and no offline mode for friends is a big oversight - there's invisible mode, but you can't stop people from messaging you short of exiting out of Steam, blocking people, or going into the *real* offline mode...which prevents you from playing any online games).

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Ahhh so that's what the big update was. I was notified ot downloaded bit haven't restarted it so it hasn't installed. People message me when I'm offline so that's a bummer if I go invisible and messages still pop up if I'm in the kiddle of a game I mean, it's not a huge deal but....

Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?

 

What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.

 

Begone! Lest I draw my nail...

Apparently I can't sign out of the friendslist anymore. Now I'll have to go invisible... and in the options I have to disable that I get notifications for whenever anyone starts a game. This is annoying.

That last part - getting notifications for anyone starting a game - was always standard (and annoying) behavior, though. At least you still have the option to disable it.

 

@Sonic: Yeah, that's how offline/invisible mode works. I'd been asking for invisible mode for like a decade, but not at the expense of not being able to go offline...

You don't get notifications if you are offline. I don't mind the notifications when I mark myself as online, though. With the new version I'll have to choose.

Ah, I see. Yes, since there is no offline mode anymore, that is true.

Ravnica is Meadow in Croatian, but can be used as place name.

 

You mean Serbian?

 

Anyways how does that make Ravnica more interesting that Kamigawa lore wise?

Steam Friends will minimize your game if it goes down while you're online. No problem, I'll just set myself to...oh, wait, no, offline status doesn't exist anymore. Thanks, Valve, :ban: .

Wait, for real?

 

The culture around Valve that I grew up with seems totally gone now. I don't want to act like the earlier PC consumers were more informed than the "general masses," but now that custom rigs and PC gaming are increasingly mainstream it seems like not enough of consumer base even cares. Or maybe it's a case that Valve has cornered the market enough that they are no longer in the careful tiptoeing stages of building credit with consumers.

Okay, I think it's once per install or something - when it went first down, it wanted me to hit "OK" on something, which I rapidly did because I was in the middle of a game, because now I'm actually properly testing it, and that prompt no longer appears. That's not nearly as bad, but still kind of dumb.

You can also use a "-nochatui -nofriendsui" command line switch for the time being to revert back to the old UI. I'll be doing that until at least - at least! - I have the option to disable auto-loading images/videos - that crap is soooooooooo annoying.

It's just your imaginagion! Just wait until some Steam evangelist here makes you clear, that this is the function, you always wanted from GabeN, but were always afraid to ask and enjoy :p

 

Valve couldn't be wrong wrong :p

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

 

Kamigawa and Ravnica are different editions of a card game called Magic the Gathering.
