Did you purchase it via Steam?  I'm wondering whether I should wait until a few episodes are available.

Still £20 on Steam is tempting..

Yup. Looks nice, plays fine too. Already met Hershel on the farm. Seems good, I'm hoping it can get to the level of bleakness of the comic. 

So The Walking Dead, PC version. When you choose the control options it shows you what buttons do what. On an xbox controller. And that's it. Great. During QT style moments it shows you a d-pad on screen and you have to somehow choose the right option, without actually having a d-pad. The icons for objects that you have to point at and click on are often not actually on the object at all, often quite far above or beside it, obviously designed for a stick, not a mouse. The game seems good but this kind of unfinished bullshit is just unacceptable.

I'm sure their forums are like a prison riot over the fact. Kow is probably the ringleader.

I'm gonna try and install Anno 2070 later, I heard it's good.

I haven't spotted too many threads complaining about The Walking Dead's controls but there are some just asking what the PC controls actually are, which is quite damning in itself.

I know this may be a little redundant, but why don't you own a 360 type controller for the PC? It's bloody useful. 

I play a lot of console games on my PC because it's often cheaper, better from a graphics/mod perspective and pretty convenient thanks to Steam.

EVE Online is now £9.99 in the UK, down from not-sure-what, but I could be tempted at that price.

I played it once before for about a month and didn't really do or experience anything of real interest, apart from making a big profit hauling a load between systems, and that was only once. I think the best (most fun) way to play it is probably to quickly get yourself hired as nooby cannon fodder by a corporation out in zero-sec space, or join a crazy war, or join a pirate or mercenary corp. Then at least there's something at stake, and you get the feeling like you're a part of a larger sequence of events. And avoid the npc missions and mining as much as possible.

I'd quite like to play again, if other people here want to play as-well? Get together a little Edge/B&B crew to tool around in space. :)

I'll be playing Dust 514 when that comes out anyway, presumably there will be a B&B corp

Ooh, I have Arma 2 somewhere. It never ran very well but I'm sure it's been patched up since then, Plus I have a new supermachine.

Anno 2070 is awesome, hard to understand what I'm doing probably because I'm tired and it's 1am but I turned the graphics to Very High and my laptop is fine with it. Looks beautiful.

I might start again at the beginning of June when I have a little more free time.

There's a demo on the game's website, but not on Steam, if you want to try it.


As far as I know Steam games are locked to one account.

No way to share games between accounts unfortunately. In their eyes it's just theft.

Yeah, luckily they have these regular sales. New games cost more than they would in a shop.

They have sales?!
