Blinding Lights

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I don't watch over-the-air TV except the nightly news. My TV viewing is restricted to my local Plex content and typical stuff like Netfix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, etc.

Impressive. I dream of upping my hermit game to that level, but I'm not there yet.
I watch way too much TV, and this song is all over TV. He even sang it live on SNL back when they still did that, in March I think.

I see that. I just tried to stream videos from my Amazon prime account, but failed, since I'm in China. Can't use Netflix either.

I generally don't care about sound quality up to a point.>> ^ChaosEngine:

I'm curious; as far as music goes, I thought Amazon and iTunes were OK. What practical restrictions are there to use in those two? I haven't seen any and I use both services. In the beginning iTunes had restrictions, but not know as far as I see.

"We could not process your order. The sale of MP3 Downloads is currently available only to US customers located in the United States. "
Fuck. That. Shit.
I genuinely believe in protecting IP. And I'm absolutely willing to pay for the content I want, but the content providers are actively pushing me towards piracy. It's even worse where movies and tv are concerned. The new season of Sherlock just finished in the UK. I have money sitting here and I will happily give it to the people who made the show to let me watch it (for a reasonable price), but there is currently no legal means for me to acquire that content.
Now the standard internet response here is that I should go pirate it, but I do not believe that is moral. But really content peoples, you're not making it easy.
It's actually ridiculous. Can you imagine a bricks and mortar shop telling people they don't want their money?

Alien Swarm : New, kick ass free game from Valve

westy says...

The price of AAA games on steam that are not vlave are a total joke , i dont see how you can defend it.

last game i bought bad company 2 , steam price £29.99 amazon with free 3 day delivery £15 , play.com allso had it for free 3 day delivery for £15 , games satay at full retail price for longer on steam , and u dont have the advantage of trading it in if you stop playing the game + as you say no manual.

If you preorder on amazon its poasted out so it arives on relase day , and often arives day before.

It only anoys me because i would rather use steam , i allso know its largely due to publishers forcing that price on steam. another thing thats shit is that you buy a game on steam thinking steam will auto update it and all the bullshit coppy protection will be handled by steam but often thats not the case and u still have to manual patch or sign up to exsternal websites and make acvcounts for games. the New IL2 game was a compleat farce and arma 2 took a good 4 months before you could patch it with steam.

I think Valve are now in a positoin to say to publishers , "u need to have it at x price or we wont host it " and allso force them to acomidate the steam network if they want there game on it.

I have used steam since first beta came out and its gr8 for all the valve and hl stuff , patching HL1 to play dod and cs1.4 was a total ball pain and steam fixed that (lol patch 501015-50102 then patch 50192-2304).

evan if this game is good ,
steem is still flawed
Im the typ of person that would buy all my games on steam , I have maby 20 steam games as it is , mostly valve games but maby 5 non valve games. The big problem with steam are the prices for this reasoin i have bought my last 4 games from amazon , play.com game and game station. There is something realy wrong if you can pick up a game cheeper from bricks and morter . (steam prices r only good for old games or valve games when they promote them)
Another seperate issue i have with steem and valve is that the games seem to be more and more like console games , in game play and design , I have nothing against console games but i have a 360 to play console games on , with my pc i prefer games that are more saphisticated.
In some ways steem is gr8 id much rather have a company like valve do Digital distrabutoin than say EA or some random allso there promoting and pushing indi games is nice. I just think with some small changes it could be super amazing rather than just another way to get games.

Steam is not really flawed. Just because you might be able to get a slightly better price on Amazon does not take into account the full situation. With Amazon, you have to pay for the shipping. Not to mention waiting. It isn't so bad if you have an Amazon Prime account, but then you are paying more anyway so it doesn't matter. Plus, you can pre-load most games on Steam when they are first released, meaning the day before you can have it installed and ready to go, then the next morning just start up Steam and have at it.
Plus, with game stores like Gamestop and such, you have to drive their, find the game, check out, and drive back, probably for the same price as it was on Steam.

The only thing I don't like about the Steam digital distribution is lack of manuals are other box content that comes with retail store purchases.
As for games becoming more "consolized", that is the developer's fault, not Steam's. Besides, there are plenty of sophisticated PC games on Steam, you just have to weed out the bad ones.
In fact, the deals Steam hosts almost 24/7/365 are incredible. They gave out Portal for free, this for free. 600 games under $10. 180 under $5. I mean, the THQ pack alone is about 5 years worth of games for like $20.

Edit: Unfortunately the THQ pack is no longer on sale, it is back to $99. That was a steal while it was cheap, though.
