People still look at me funny when I write dates "yyyy-mm-dd", even after I've explained how it's the most logical representation and we'll all be doing it after the Machines take over. People are weird.
But that's the best way. It sorts!
I'm European working for a California company from home during US work hours. I also communicate with clients based on other time zones. I often end up having no idea what date and time I'm running on.Originally Posted by ColOfNature
Everybody buy this!
Agreed, I got it last time it was cheap on Steam and enjoyed every minute. The main campaign took me about 8 hours which is admittedly a bit short, but for sheer spectacle and nuts-on-the-road lunacy it's hard to beat.
Not possible from the UK?
Amazon US requires an US IP and mailing address for DDs.
It requires the address, but not the IP, and the address is easily faked.
On amazon.com
Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition - $7.49
Dragon Age 2 - $4.99
Both register on Origin.
Sorry to be off topic but is there any word on a Dragon Age 2 Ultimate edition? I cant see myself every playing it other wise.
Have the new Indie Gala http://www.indiegala.com/
That site is terrible on my android phone. What's in the bundle?
Edit: got a list here http://www.indiegamemag.com/bunk-bed...-indie-gala-2/ seems rude to copy pasta

Nothing special. The market is saturated; there's nothing good left to bundle. People who've bought the previous bundles will already be looking for the next big indie game, so they'll probably jump on games like Dustforce and The Witness right away, and frankly I haven't seen much of interest in any of the smaller titles. I think the bubble needs to collapse and lay dormant for a few months for us to see a great bundle again.
Mass Effect 2 has been out nearly two years and hasn't had one, so when you consider that DA2 hasn't even been out for a year and has had just a few DLC releases, it doesn't seem particularly likely.
Roboblitz is ace, it's portal esq but with some physics / melee combat, actually a delicious combination. It's boss battles are stupid, but you have infinite respawns to whittle them down which completely takes the annoyance away.
Best of all it's actually got multiple solutions to some of the puzzles, 'the right one' and some bodged together solutions.

I can see Bioware not bothering with Ultimate Editions again because it loses them all the money they get from selling the DLC themselves. Adding together all the non-Feastday DLC for DA:O comes to 4080 magic Bioware points which I think is something like £25 in real money most of which must go to Bioware/EA. For <£15 a person can pick up DA:O Ultimate and get all that + Awakenings + Feastday crap + the game itself, but I imagine very little has gone to Bioware. So why do something like that with ME2 or DA2?
They may be bastards but they're clever bastards (even if only because their DLC system sucks).
It'd be EA, not BioWare, but still.
But the thing is, the Ultimate editions exist to just fill in the market and resell the game. They're not about reclaiming development costs, because they should already be in profit (and if not, Ultimate editions would bring them closer). There's absolutely no reason why ME2 (and DA2, despite its lack of DLC) should not have a complete/Ultimate edition, especially this close to ME3. It makes absolutely no sense at all.
On US Amazon Risen for digital download is $5.99. It also appears that the Amazon version is DRM free with the tages getting patched about back in December. Based on a email from Deep silver it seems Steam will also be getting a non tages version soon.
Dirt 2 is $5 on Steam. Any good? I'm currently reading the RPS WIT for Dirt 3 for comparison, because they never did one for Dirt 2 (lazy somethingsomething...).
Edit: Nevermind, I bought it anyway. Haven't really played a decent racing game since I made PC my primary platform. Plus this is one of those rare times where I want to play a game I bought RIGHT NOW.

I guarantee I'll never pay for any Bioware DLC as long as it's only available on their site. I don't like converting to monopoly money just to see characters that should've been in the game in the first place.
Is DOW2 Retribution worth the tenner? I did enjoy DOW2 vanilla so is it just more of the same?
