I found it but it seemed not to change anything... I'll try it again.

It was originally an issue with AMD processors. I got free retail NWN2 with my. 8800 GT and it was all janky on my AMD cpu. Same thing with my NWN diamond edition. Built an intel system and nwn2 worked ok. I tried to play nwn diamond with my intel/ati sysyem and the main character would be missing, but his shadow not. I didnt bother trying to fix it and uninstalled. Now i will reinstall diamond and turn shadows off. I always wantes to run all the expansions.

Played NWN2 on my amd/ati rig and I saw no issues in the first 15 min of the first act after the tutorial.

Seems to run fine for me.

Steam Sales damaged the ol' bank account, lol.

Quake Pack
DOOM Pack
Amnesia
Assassin's Creed 1+2
Batman: Arkham Asylum
BioShock 1+2
F.E.A.R. 1+2
Grand Theft Auto Complete
Mirror's Edge
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
RUSH
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
Mafia 1+2
Plants .vs. Zombies

I think the totals ~$100 US. I have 2 accounts so I can buy European and Australian games. I did buy many Valve packs for guys at OCAU so I did spend like 400$ but I got the money for the Valve packs.

They currently have that Penny arcade game on sale for 2.99. Anybody have any positive thoughts on it and also I'm not 1000% sure but I think I read that it's an unfinished story. There should have been another episode but never came out?

The game is too slow for me, I couldn't get into it.

There are 2 games out and there was meant to be another but it never happened. Rather than just leaving the story hanging, Tycho actually published the story in written form on Penny-Arcade.com.

I personally really enjoyed the humor and the old school style adventure/RPG elements. I'll agree it's a bit slower than something like Costume Quest, which it generally has a similar vibe to.

*Edit: If I'm not being clear. I'm all for purchasing the games if you don't have them. $2.99 is definitely worth it in my mind.

King Arthur is 2.99 (85% off). I played the demo and it is a pretty fun game. Seems like a Fantasy version of Empire Total War. I'd say it is worth a go.

I was thinking about this last week as I am rereading The Lord of the Rings books for the umpteenth time. Tolkien took all the good names. I sure would not want to have to come up with new Fantasy names. Many of them just seem absurdly fake to me these days:

I have enjoyed it. The fantasy side is cool with some neat spells/skills

While that's often true, generally the crappier games have crappier names. And that game is a prime example.

I always found the names in BioWare and The Elder Scrolls games to be very good. Sometimes a touch generic, but that's going to happen eventually at times.

You saying it was fun was enough to make me order it...

Good point, that was where I was going with it. Many of the really good names have been used up.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition is on sale today on Steam at 75% off, making it a steal at $7.50.

I'm going to have to finally pull the trigger I believe, I've wanted the game for awhile ever since I played the demo, but my back log of games has always been too long to justify the purchase (actually my back log is still huge lol), but at this price I think it is a steal.
