This is the first real problem I've actually had with the game. I tried to defrag the game files and checked the integrity of the game cache (Steam functions) but that did nothing. Gonna run a fresh reinstall now.

I played Skate 2 a fair bit at a friend's house a year or two ago, really good fun. The last skating game I've completed was Tony Hawk's Underground, which was awesome fun.

Also, just bought:

Valkyria Chronicles (already played this once but have been dying to play it again) Vanquish

Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

Last one was kind of an impulse buy but it was only 5$ extra on top of AC: Brotherhood (hell yeah, holiday sales). Those 4 were a grand total of 60$ which is pretty amazing for Australia.

I haven't installed it on mine, so cannot say if it's his copy or his machine.  I'm running my machine at its limit as it is.  So I may have to forego installing it for a while.

Valkyria Chronicles didn't show up on the email reciept I got, and then the store said it was out of stock Ended up grabbing Vanquish for the same price anyway.

It's possible to play alone, but harder, especially if you're stupid like me and put your character on mediumcore. Also kinda lonely. Generally preferable to play with friends. World and characters are independent, so you don't have to worry about porting this way or that.

Speaking of which, anyone keen on running a persistent Terraria server?

Just started playing Magicka today with a friend...that game is a TON of fun, and full of funny references and such.  

Having never played Minecraft or even had a chance to download Terraria yet, what's the general idea of the game?  Is it a fast learning curve?

Yet people still seem to be obsessed by Minecraft... I've seen screenshots of it... it's really quite blocky!  I'm not sure I could cope with all those straight lines.

Which enemy was that?  The only thing that's ever instagibbed me was Skeletron, and only because of a multiplayer glitch
