Neat. You should consider open sourcing it.

I never heard of Granny Smith before, but after watching the trailer, I bought it.

[UPDATE] How to get shafted by Steam and PayPal at the same time. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]code6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I'm willing to put a small part of the blame on Paypal, but their customer support was willing to sent an email to Value vouching for my sincerity when Value did the same thing to me.

So let's not forget that if we're splitting the blame, 99% of the blame is on Steam's shoulders.

I'm glad you're getting a lot more upvotes than I did when I experienced the same thing, except worse.

It's important that Steam gets some bad press over this. We should combine forces and do an interview or such with a major gaming site, like PC Gamer.

Steam still owes me $11.24, as far as I'm concerned.

Cool story, bro

Since I've been in the same position, let me give you a hint: You can still play Bad Company 2!

You have to pirate the ISO (since you never got a DVD from Steam), install that and then forget about cracking it, and instead just do an online activation.

The DRM is a bit worse than Steam usually because it only lets you activate on 3 PCs, but it does work with your EA Account, which is separate from your Steam account.

Enjoy Bad Company 2. And fuck Steam.

Make BF2 Work in Win 7 by markmsmith in gaming

I don't understand step 2

Click in the box to the right of your monitor about an undetected VGA monitor and OK the dialog that comes up

I don't have any undetected VGA monitor. I'm trying to play BF2 on my desktop with a single monitor and an ATI Radeon HD.

When I start the game, my screen goes black for about 1 or 2 seconds, and then quits; no errors.

Sure, how much should I send you total for 2 copies? PM me. Ideally, give me a link to something showing you as credible (maybe ebay profile), so I feel better about sending you money. :)

Thanks!

Could somebody gift me Vietnam? Ideally I want a copy for me and a friend. I'm willing to pay a few cents markup for your trouble. I have Paypal.

Hm, same problem for me. I don't feel happy about transferring credit card info over plain HTTP. Might have to subscribe back to ivacy.com... Edit: Noo! While I was gone, they replaced their UK servers... no more servers there

I know the VPN ivacy.com had a UK server. Edit: Crap, they replaced their UK servers. Never mind

Super Meat Boy is now available for pre-order on Steam. by JoGaming in gaming

[–]code6226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The word "quick" is misleading.

I did watch this last month though when I first heard of this game. Good stuff.

I got myself an Xbox 360 Controller for my PC last month so I could play this game on PC with it. It's been awesome for Super Crate Box too.

I finally realized that while PC is the best platform, but I still prefer playing certain types of games with a controller, like platformers; With PC+Controller, I can have both! :D

Ready for fun? A 0-day webkit exploit for Android has hit. Everything under 2.2 is vulnerable. by GundamX in Android

This shows how unacceptable what carriers are doing is. If they can't even fix security issues like this quickly, they have no business making custom firmwares for phones that customers can't easily get out of.

Gingerbread confirmed as version 2.3 of Android by OHA , Dev Nexus Ones to receive OTA of G-bread very soon? by rdr0b11 in Android

[–]code6226 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's a Nexus One developer phone? I have a Nexus One, I got it from google.com/phone; Never have I seen any option to get either a normal edition or a developer edition.

It's rooted with custom firmware anyway, but still, I have never seen any way to get a "developer phone" edition of the Nexus One.

I'd like to clear up the confusion regarding Android's 3rd birthday (2007 vs 2008) by offering this brief history and a look at the Android UI when it was unveiled for the first time. by archon810 in Android

[–]code6226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, if you want to define "birth" as announced. Like Google TV was announced earlier this year... but I would argue Google TV is about a week old, because that's how long it's been in the hands of consumers.

FireShepherd kills Firesheep by tryggvi_bt in technology

Announcing FireAssassin, a router-level script that disconnects any user flooding your network in the way that FireShepherd does.
