Ownership Check, World of Zoo, Metro 2033. Shatter Broken Sword 2 Broken Sword 3 Ben There, Den That / Time Gentleman Please! Double Pack Day of Defeat: Source Freedom Force / Freedom Force vs The Third Reich Was very tempted by Civ IV, but I don't think the gameplay is one that appeals to me - it didn't look like it anyway. I LOVE the concept, but eh... So yeah, if you want to add me to play any of the above + more http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197976897691 To be completely honest, I mainly bought the THQ pack after Chris and Nick's lovings of Dawn of War II on the podcast. I only just started listening to IT a couple months ago, so it's all still fresh in my mind.
  2. Red Dead Redemption

    A friend of mine sold this to me the other day for £25, and although I'd usually avoid threads like this like the plague, it's brilliant how all fo you understand the workings of the spoiler button - it's great! So yeah, RDR. Wow. What an absolutely phenomenal game. I particularly liked one side-mission where I also highly recommend turning off the minimap when not doing highly scripted YOU MUST BE HERE RIGHT NOW missions. It makes the game feel so much more immersive - I love this game.
  3. Life

    A better book is 'The Myth of... Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus". Written by a linguist (I believe), it takes a much more analytical approach to the things discussed, and is apparently a very good read. I haven't read it myself, but this year's English Language course dictates I shall - so I'll let you know then!
  4. Other podcasts

    Thanks for this man. I started listening to it earlier today and although the rim-licking was a little off-putting at times, it soon settled down and became a really fascinating, very well done show. /approved
  5. Summer Steam Sale

    I thought about picking it up, but I've already bought a fair few other games, and I think L4D/2 will have to satisfy my Zombie multiplayer needs.
  6. Summer Steam Sale

    Flames before games man. Always.
  7. Summer Steam Sale

    Because Civ III doesn't have one at all and I basically wanted to cry when I played that game.
  8. Summer Steam Sale

    Right Thumbs, to any of you who own Civ IV - is there a tutorial mode of any kind? I'll buy it if there is, and I won't if there isn't. Thanks guys.
  9. Summer Steam Sale

    As usual with the STEAM sales, I'm waiting for the last day to tick around, and then buy everything I want to then. Just in case. You never know. Either way, I'm definetely buying the THQ pack and Broken Sword 2/3 later today.
  10. Tales of Monkey Island

    *Jakes reads that post* "B-b-but, I designed that boxart /cry"
  11. Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

    I'm actually very proud of myself, in that... Damnit. I was going to say that I haven't referred to a guide at all, but then I realised I did for the boss battle at the end of 302. Apart from that though, I'm proud of myself.
  12. What is the Mystery of Scoggins?

    I'll definetely pick it up as soon as it hits Steam. Love me some Layton, love me some TTG... What's not to love?
  13. iPhone 4

    Haha, that letter did make me laugh. Admittedly, I very rarely (if ever) put my phone to my ear anymore. I'm one of those douches who has his earphones in all the time, and uses the voice recognition built into the earphones to call people. Much easier for me, as I tend to be on the move when talking to people.
  14. Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

    I don't know, I thought that one was pretty obvious, but I guess I got stuck on some other incredibly simple puzzles earlier, so I know exactly what you mean.
  15. Futurama returns in 2008

    I actually enjoyed both a fair amount, although I began to get bored of "NYYYYYYYYYYYYYYGH" in the second episode.
  16. Summer Steam Sale

    That's the thing I found difficult about Civ III. It's just like; Choose your Civ Go.
  17. Summer Steam Sale

    Essentially, I want some sort of mode where it says "Ok. Step 1: Click this button and then this happens. Step 2: Now you've done that, you should do this" Plus, honestly, I'm tight. £6odd for Civ IV is better than £30 for Civ V. I don't mind intricacy, but I'm stupid and need handholding
  18. Summer Steam Sale

    Civ IV is now on sale - would people recommend it? Is it easy to get into? I bought Civ III recently and although I've tried playing it, without any form of apparent tutorial I'm just too confused - is Civ IV a little more user friendly?
  19. It kinda sounds like... Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidle Thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuumbs. Games, video games, video games, video games, Videogaaaames, video games, video games, etc etc. It's pretty good.
  20. PSN ID exchange

    SpeedyDesiato. Haven't played my PS3 in a while, but add me and we can play Burnout Paradise. Best game on PSN by a long shout.
  21. Exams are shit. Discuss

    My wrist hurts. What's wrong with me? GOOGO. Seriously though, congratulations. A good friend of mine is looking to become a doctor, and I have absolutely no idea why. The amount of work seems an impossible task. Well done buddy.
  22. Summer Steam Sale

    Don't forget Dawn of War II.

  24. A Life Well Wasted: Big Ideas

    I have to say, the last segment made me squirm a little. Still a fantastic show though.
  25. Summer Steam Sale

    Yeah, I pretty much cried when I saw Chris's tweet. Or rather, my wallet did.
