excellent.

just finished Shadow Warrior, thoroughly enjoyed it. a surprisingly poignant end though for a game in which you spend your time slicing body parts off daemons. rather nice end theme too

Ahhh, Resident Evil.

Loooong time since I last played (the superb GameCube version) and it's still great fun. Save system is taking a bit of getting used to of course - I think we've been horribly spoiled by auto save games!

Right. Off to take down that sodding shark.

Bioware fashion show, excellent

continuing my mission of adding games to my library for a few pounds each, I picked up Ryse. Unfortunately just a bit bland. looks nice, but every single enemy is killed essentially the same way, and with a quick time event execution. there isn't much variation, and by the end of the first mission you are already sick of seeing them. it was going to be a kinect game, and they ditched that at the last minute and just went with standard controls. whilst waving your arms about stabbing people would have been fun, with a control pad it just lacks depth.

Also bought Spec Ops the line, one of last gen's finest shooters. but the Steam code I ordered on ebay wont work over here, and the seller is wanting me to jump through a ridiculous number of hoops for a £2.99 key. screenshot of the error message, screenshot of my steam library, of my list of licenses, of my IP address, all to confirm I really haven't used it.

Its all BS to avoid paying out, there was a thread on r/pcmr not long back about someone having same problem with a much higher priced game. Is there not a cheap copy on GOG?

[Kirsten]

should be getting a refund soon, I think they were genuinely trying to find a solution, but it was rather misguided as I had already shown it didn't work over here. there is no way round that basic point. picked it up for £3.20 from another seller.

I do have a sexy new mouse though

[Psychosplodge]

how does that mouse even work?

[Kirsten]

Same as a normal mouse, just your hand is in a more natural position without twisting your bones

hmmm
