Last October had a similar thing in Japan going on... and as far as I know nothing changed significantly. It's hilarious to see the US trying to pass such stupid-ass legislations... but hey, we had some fun with SOPA, PIPA, ACTA and whatnot. I doubt it's going to make a dent.

Man, ubisoft is the worst of the worst. When a cracked version performs better and has higher stability than the real "legit" product, you know something's got to be wrong. As for steam, it's understandable that games that rely on mainly online elements don't give a shit about offline mode - but there are games that screw you up anyway even when it makes no sense, being a single player experience. Even then, offline mode is mostly useless - if I have no internet handy (network problems fffffff) I wouldn't be able to authenticate, meaning no games. (At least it was like this before, correct

Sounds like a rather bad network issue. Does the same thing happen if DLing something like, say, mp3 files or something?

@iLT: Kickstarter is indeed an interesting and useful tool, but not only for games. There are projects like BioCurious and Kirby Ferguson's documentary "This is not a conspiracy theory", which gathered quite a lot of support. This deal with games started with Double Fine's kickstarter, which grew ridiculously and absurdly fast (the only thing that comes to mind that managed to be faster, but not bigger is Oatmeal's two indiegogo projects). I'm hyped as fuck for DF's upcoming new game. I recently backed up the Pier Solar ports project, which is quite interesting. I do like KS, but there's also

The whole cloud thing is a load of bull. Even though I do enjoy having games on Steam, I hope we don't head to a future like the one Ivan posted. The whole always online thing sucks hard anyway - also go check the internet speeds thread. Look at the horrible speeds some people have. Not everyone has grade A internet, and that would be the first problem. Online gaming connections makes sense (hell, it's "online" after all) - a server has to control the main data flow and prevent cheating. But having to authenticate (and sometimes keep a connection alive) in order to play a single player ga

About the save files: Some games keep a database file (unlocked CGs, etc) and separate game progress files (usually named in increasing fashion such as .s01, .s02 and so on). Make sure you back up any and all small files residing in the game data directory... I've had the same thing happen to me with several titles. I enjoyed DC2, we'll see about this one.

3, definitely (subsistence edition to be precise). Excellent story, several improvements (3D free camera mainly), and nothing unnerving like in the previous title (although that one has I NEED SCISSORS! 61!) Also SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE EAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTEEEEEEERRRRRRRR- (you should check the mgs3 comic dubs in youtube if you haven't yet).

Holy crap that's bad - reminds of the 0.3 Mb DL / 0.2 Mb UL usb modem I used a loooooong time ago... FUCK YEAH *high fives*

Holy shit Avenger, that's an amazing DL speed. Most cases I've seen sadly have really crappy UL speeds, which doesn't help when wanting to seed things :\ Flash is fucking up on my installation, so I'll just wing it: My DL is ~3 Mbits and UL is 1.5 Mbits generally. @Ryu: Any noticeable differences in your connection since TIGO bought Cablevision?

I find it hard to decide between Period and Quartett as my fav Littlewitch VN. Period switches to a more standard ADV style losing some points, but has more characters. Quartett on the other hand has outstanding presentation and dynamism, not to mention the amazing music... This title definitely shows how Littlewitch's Floating Frame Director engine can heavily enrich the experience. It's also pretty damn stable and smooth, even inside a virtual machine - another plus. I'm sure you were wanting to put in your list of music examples, this one is the best track IMO - the first time I hear

No recuerdo bien quién es... creo que era (spoilers) En fin, es así - solo un .nsa debes copiar. Ahora, cuando salga MGQ parte 3, probablemente sean dos los archivos a copiar: arc.nsa de parte 1, y arc1.nsa de parte 2 (creo que así era el nombre del segundo nsa). Siguiendo este patrón, probablemente "arc2.nsa" sería el nsa principal de la parte 3.

Shino: Probablemente el problema sea con la integración de la parte 1. El error que tienes dice que no encuentra un archivo bmp en un .nsa (archivo que contiene los recursos del juego). La parte 2 viene con un arc.nsa "dummy" que es más pequeño que el verdadero. Debes reemplazarlo: Copia el "arc.nsa" de la carpeta de la Parte 1 a tu carpeta de la Parte 2 (te pedirá reemplazar, dale sí). Luego, desde el menú de extras de la parte 2 selecciona "Part 1 conversion". Asegúrate de sólo reemplazar este .nsa, no toques los otros. Es buena idea que hagas esto con una copia limpia de la carpeta de l

Rumor? I don't think that we need to label it as such, this is confirmed just like the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow. Sadly, CoD rehashes will keep coming until the shooter genre dies out only to be replaced by something possibly worse. Remember that time when early MW3 PC versions would mention "Modern Warfare 2" in system dialogs? Well, that pretty much already shows what we're going to see whenever this "new" $60 expansion pack-- er, game comes out. :] I enjoyed MW1 because it was a breath of fresh air after WW2 WW2 WW2 WW2 WW2 WW2 WW2 *futuristic space age shooter here* WW2 WW

om nom nom You're welcome. :]

Normally, these messages that ask for disc 2 have two buttons, "Retry" and "Abort installation" or similar. When Daemon Tools mounts the second disc, go back to the installer window and try hitting the retry button - the installer should recognize the new disc and continue. Otherwise, you could try emulating a disc tray cycle (daemon should have the option to "open" and "close" the virtual disc tray), this should wake up the installer, in case there are no buttons to click.

Yeah, having linux will pretty much mean hit-or-miss when it comes to games. Then again, as a compatibility layer Wine can in rare cases improve performance. Locale is a lot easier to work with in wine, luckily - simply setting the variable before running the command will switch the whole locale, so you can run a program in JP locale while running another in US locale. A virtual machine can come in handy - some games work perfect on it but not Wine, some viceversa, and a few work on both. Valve is currently working on getting its flagship games ported, starting with L4D2. They achieved be

Well, first of all you need to run the program with JP locale so it can properly install. I know the game works if you install the game on windows (it can be a virtual machine), and copy directly the folder to your linux system. To run a wine program with japanese locale, run in terminal: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine game.exe However, you must have this locale enabled in your system - Here's how to add locales in ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ The specific locale you want to add is ja_JP.UTF-8.

Indeed - Happy Friendship day Ryu. And happy international friendship day, community! :]

@Ryu: Whoa, dengue you say? Shit sucks hard - When I had it last year, I was left pinned on the bed for almost a month... Hope the Period patch is done for the 15th. also lol jast

Now onto playing the additional "The Answer" chapter, Breakthrough. Oh, and it's permanently locked on hard. Have fun. :]

In Persona, you can only have ONE status effect at a time. So for example, if you have poison, you're basically immune to anything else. But yeah, it's all down to pure luck - if your healer gets Charmed, you'd better heal it ASAP: You have a last resort: Use Rush. If you hit triangle, everyone will attack, charmed or not. So wait until the charmed character attacks, then switch off Rush during its turn. Then, simply heal the charmed character on your next turn. And you can't save yourself from Night Queen - it's a guaranteed use in the 13th arcana of the boss.

Hm, Kud Wafter is progressing pretty smoothly. And the finished Period patch is just around the corner now...

If you lose personas due to fusion and whatnot, you can always "revive" them by paying ALL YO YENS at the velvet room.

Academics is a bitch to level up - it's like 3x compared to Charm and Courage. Just keep at it. Also, free extra courage if you're in Tired status at school: Head to infirmary, get courage+ without using up your time.

Er, yeah - there are social links with romantic aspects in them. They don't affect the storyline, though. The main girls' links can be started around at half of the game due to some requirements - careful when SL'ing with them because they can get jealous, and hinder SL progress. There are five SLs of that type, IIRC.
