Hey noobfc, you suggested the fix above to somebody else's question before on moving the Steam directory to another drive. Any idea how to split up Steam games across drives and still work, e.g some games on C:, some games on D: ? Or is there any way to specify a different install directory when you install a new game? Tks!
*
To install separate drives for steam need some creating of links to the real drive. ITs quite erm technical so do a your own risk. Google it up. Or you can use Junction. Again make sure you're quite well verse with your system smile.gif I could prolly make a faq about it when i have time.

Also beware Steams dumb updates. Look at SWAT pack and the individual prices. Buy it individually tongue.gif

Titan quest ala hack/slash. Quite good game albeit repetitive but if you like gearing up with shiny new eq.. go for it.

Hahaha... well, you can see if 1 of the parties that reserved a spot for the 4-pack is willing to share his Steam login for you though there will be trust issue involved.

Erm that does not help too.. i mean i don't want the copy. I'm helping a bunch of frens. Now i have to own it sad.gif noooo... i want to save the money for other games smile.gif

Oh, you've purchased the 4-pack then I guess. I don't think there's anyway you can get rid of it since it has been registered into your Steam account. sad.gif
*
I haven't purchase it. That's why i want to know any way that i can buy it but not own it. So i can give away 4 copies.

I had good memories with Serious Sam series back then when it first came out. It was one of the funnest mindless FPs killing spree. Playing with a friend is a must else you'd be bored unless you like mindless killing.

The first bull charge which knock me all over the place was a blast. and encountering suicidal-headless-bombers had me running all over. And huge arse boss battle had me gawking under it.

I tried HD in CC, nothing really new with graphics just some polishing up. Buy it if yo haven't play it.. or pass if you did. Not missing anything. cept for novelty.

Compare to the old Serious Sam? There's a whole lot of difference in the graphics.

The first Serious Sam was directX7 engine, so there's no any programmable shaders or any dynamic effects. Everything is pre-rendered onto the texture, the lighting effects and shadows are all pre-rendered. If you take away a light source, the shadow and lighting effects on the wall will still remain because they are already pre-rendered on the wall texture.

In Serious Engine 3, most of the lighting are dynamic real time lighting, shadows are real time shadow. Of course there are many other effects as well, using pixel shader, advance reflection and other graphical effects.

And there's also real time physics.

The only serious sam game that is close to current engine is the 3rd one, Serious Sam 2.

I didn't make it clear, but i did say Series heh. I was refering to the latest SS as opposed to HD. Any way point made.

Well as you guys might know, NASA released a game called Moonbase Alpha for free on Steam.

Me, Prasys and ecam from KGM decided to give it a go. Surprisingly it was a fun experience being an astronaut. Really needs teamwork.

here's a picture of ecam's robot fail because it got stuck on the tubes.

Always save steamapps folder somewhere.. else you'd have to re download all. It will delete your games if uninstall.

The usual folder options does the trick. "Show hidden files"
