Ah, that sucks. :erg: I guess I should count myself lucky that everyone I play coop with is usually pretty mellow, and more likely to laugh away any mistakes than get worked up about them.

Yes, good point, but you knew what I meant...
I sure didn't :) I assumed you'd bought the game you said you'd bought (which I thought was a mightily strange decision, really, as my recollection was that it got fairly panned in the reviews).

If you thought that was strange, consider the fact that (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver_2) Driver 2 only ever got released on Playstation 1, so picking it up in the Steam sale would be quite the feat. Yeah scumble, I knew what you meant. :)
In other news I can't hold on to my money for the life of me. Two final purchases in the Steam Sale: Joe's Adventures DLC for Mafia 2, and Jagged Alliance: Back in Action.

I bought far more than I expected to in this sale (I don't think I bought anything at all last year).
FEAR: Complete Pack
Bioshock 2
Fallout: New Vegas
STALKER: Call of Pripyat
VTM: Bloodlines
Dear Esther
Star Wars: KOTOR
Alien Shooter 2: Conscription
Trino
Hydrophobia: Prophecy
The FEAR pack was more than $5, but in that I was getting two new games and the second expansion pack for the original, so it all worked out to my mind.

Picked up Dark Void, Ninja Blade, Blades Of Time, and Call Of Juarez. I think that's it for me.

Picked up:
* Anno 2070
* KOTOR
* Astro Tripper (it was less than a quid and looked like some oldschool R-Type style fun)
* Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY edition
More than enough for the time I have available to play games.

I refrained from buying the bioshock collection as I think I've probably got enough to play with until the next sale. Also I am being a bit more wary of system requirements with a 256 mb graphics card.
That said I am a little confused as to why far cry 2 runs so well and manages to look decent, while gta4 looks quite awful on low settings and still doesn't even run smoothly. I think this is a bit of a moot point now though as I've actually already lost interest in the game...

Ys The Oath In Felghana. And I swear to god I'm cutting myself off now.

Jagged Alliance: Back in Action.
Let me know if it's any good, please! I've been playing the good old Jagged Alliance 2 a lot lately, and I had forgotten how awesome that game is. It's already showing its age though (outdated gfx obviously, but the user interface is also pretty bad) so if the new game is even nearly as good as JA2, it's a definite purchase for me.

I've only played the tutorial and the first mission yet(and that took me about 2 hours). I've enjoyed it very much so far, though I can see how some elements of it will start getting repetitive eventually. The only other JA game I've played is Deadly Games, way back in the mid-90's. Browsing through (
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1338) the Steam forum for the game, it seems like the oppinions of JA2 fans are extremely divided. Some of them love it, while others seem unable to get over the fact that it's not turn-based and overall too different from JA2.
It should be noted that several patches have been released since release, most notably adding "Fog of War", which means you can only see enemies if they are in the field of view of one of your characters. That's how I'm playing it, and it feels right, necessitates always minding your surroundings and having your mercs cover eachother.
edit: Just did my first stealth-kill woooooooop! Had Mallice sneak up on a guy and knife him. :D
