#32That'd be "Skyrim"
Sorry for that...

#33what's trippy to me is how smooth and recognizable that cosine wave is
I find it amazing how so much chaotic data can be represented by simple abstractions.

#34I was surprised to find people still go for the single player RPG genre. I've been playing Skyrim after its midnight release here in New Zealand.
On another note, I've also noticed the Mac App Store is selling the new Batman Game. Is the Mac App Store a viable competitor to Steam?

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
It has been developed and revamped over time. Counter-Strike today has not much to do with the original HL mod.
The original Counter-Strike is no longer actively developed is it? Yet, surprisingly, it seems to be ahead of Counter-Strike Source, the newest addition.
CS:S has higher requirements, and the gameplay changes pissed off a lot of the hardcore CS crowd. I know people who still kvetch about Valve nerfing deagle-hopping.

That doesn't sound right, Batman: Arkham City isn't out on PC yet. Do you mean the old one, Arkham Asylum?

Use Entropay to pay. Use store.steampowered.com/?cc=us and a browser and a VPN and a US steam account to buy, then gift it to your actual account. Works like a charm.

My apologies, you're right. It's Arkham Asylum.

#39Wow, Counter-Strike is still number three, over ELEVEN years after release?!
The two games also combined today for more players than MW3 Multiplayer (likely the long term predominant portion of it), and since I'm assuming Skyrim numbers will eventually die down, it's often still the most played game on Steam.

#40I didn't know what skyrim was, beyond a vague awareness that it was a game, so I went to elderscrolls.com, only to encounter a flash-wrapped video with no volume control . I see this particular usability faux pas way too often. If you roll your own flash video player rather than host videos elsewhere or use one of the mainstream well-designed open/commercial flash video player apps, let viewers control the volume . B…
Anyone that picky about a Flash video would know perfectly well that an "official website" is the last, least useful place to look for information on a topic.
