Wow, I'm a little surprised that I can't run Magicka. It doesn't look like the type of game that I would't be able to run, especially when I can run Mass Effect and Half Life 2 on High Specs. Oh well, I really would have probably purchased it had it ran, but I couldn't boot the demo.

Yeah, I saw minimum specs as the 8800 and was like, what? It looks like a pretty game, but not that pretty...?

Anyway, thought I would mention that Sega's recent batch of classics is looking pretty awesome.

Magicka is pretty badly coded so it needs high requirements to play. This is probably because it's an XNA game.

@Aviator We should try playing again some time. I'll try chatting (with the enter key) one more time and if it doesn't work we'll just play silently I guess. D:

@HM I need to download Hamachi (or something) google will help me.

I shall do that now.

Bought Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II Gold edition. I have only tried it a little so I don't know really that much. It also included beta test for Retribution.

Damn it, I wanna Beta Test Retribution, too.

Portal 2 pre-order is up!

Portal 2 preorder?! Should... should I get it? Or wait a year or two for a sale? Decisions, decisions...

Looks like Steam is having daily deals now. Check the bar on the right side of the Steam front page. Today it's Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition for only $7.50. (That's 75% off.) Great deal for a great game!

I'll be buying Portal 2 as soon as possible o.o

I will also being taking this action.

I'm gonna wait for the week of SE sales to end before I pre-order P2.

Who wants my 3 DAY PASS to Monday Night Combat?

raises hand ^{As in yes, I want it.}

EDIT: Wait a second; do you have to buy MNC before you can use the pass?

Nope, it lets you play the game for 3 days for free.
Sent, my friend

@Irken Awesome. Thanks again. =3

EDIT: Does anyone know if guest passes can be activated at a later time? I currently won't have much time due to it being the middle of the week, so I won't be able to really get too deep into the game.

EDIT 2: It appears that it is possible to redeem the pass at another time. Ignore my previous question.

Just Cause 1 and 2 are on sale. Downloading the first game's demo now.

I'm thinking of buying Just Cause 2 but I think it would be better for me to wait. I'll buy it in summer when I'll buy a new supermegaüber-PC. My computer is nowadays a little powerless compared to my friends' PC.

Front Mission Evolved and the DLC is on sale.

Is Front Mission Evolved any good though? I'm a little tempted, but IIRC almost all of the reviews said it wasn't very good...

Oh wait, it's not even a tactical RPG? Just a shooter? So much for that.

It's an ok game, haven't played much of it yet. I got it even cheaper through Amazon awhile back
