Does anyone know of a mass pic file type converter?
FRAPS/ENB spitting out 6-8 MB files gets a bit of out control. My Sleeping Dogs screens folder is nearly 3 gigs. Converting 423 pics one by one isn't going to happen.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Irfanview will do batch conversions

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

That's convient. Was already using it for other stuff,didn't even know it could do that.

The still maybe sorta questionable but at least it looks legit now Gamingdragons has a pack of: Blacklist,Last Light,Remember Me,Condemned and Dead Space for $60

That Haunted Memories game I mentioned the other week is now up on Steam and episode 1 is free.

These games are moving from GFWL to Steam:

Bioshock 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition
F1 2010
F1 2011
Fallout 3
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

...though it should be noted you can already (and should've) remove GFWL from Fallout 3.

Bioshock 2 has already done so and if you had the GFWL version you'll get the DLC for free and it added Steam achievements,controller support and a new matchmaking process for multiplayer. Just re-enter your key into Steam. (I think. I don't have it but that seems to be how it works.)

Looks like HL3 trademark is a hoax https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/...as-a-hoax.aspx

Well that's disappointing considering every major gaming site took that and ran with it (by which I mean saying that Valve themselves filed the trademark). Was hard to not believe it when you saw it all over the place.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Not that I'm an expert on it or anything but wouldn't it already be covered under the general Half-Life trademark? Like they already own Half-Life and all they need to do is slap a 3 on the end of it?

Gods & Kings is a MUST if you buy the base game. You can wait on Brave New World, but like I said, G&K is an absolute must.

I didn't know that, but I bought the Gold version that comes with Gods and Kings.

I was surprised that it had never been trademarked in the past. I figured it would have already been about a decade ago.
