Yeah never looked into it at all. I don't have any PC games to grab textures from, was just wondering if anyone puts them up anywhere.
Are you kidding? Come on now.. think about it for a second...
Anyway you can download some of the Max Payne textures for free, they maybe old but there's still some good examples in there, just imagine them higher res.
Screenshots are your friends also btw, if you can't get data from the games you want to grab from. There's also 3D Ripper which will save all assets in a scene at the touch of button provided it's DX9 or above but not every title is supported.

You can't cut through metal with a hacksaw, I bet this where SAW got the idea from

Wow, episode 3 was like watching paint dry.. I found myself almost falling asleep! I think it's massively obvious that
Quotemeryl cut his hand off in order to get out of the handcuffes and will reappear later in the series
More zombies next time plz.

Wow... amazing level design and so much custom content.. just beautiful! The Russian map doesn't look very.. well Russian really. Usually there would be cyrillic markings around the area and signs warning people not to go into certain areas (Стоп! вход запрещен!/Stop! No admittance!), also the flags are weird... like some kind of mix of Nazi swastika with the soviet Hammer and Sickle, you'd be better off just using the flag of the USSR (CCCP). Nice Hind models btw, did you make them yourself?

Replaying Metro 2033 for the second time, I enjoyed it on the first playthrough but I found it tough at times so I played on easy this time and though it's still challenging it's a lot less hastle and I'm really enjoying a lot more. It's such a beautiful game as well, the art direction is fantastic and the engine really brings the game to life... can't wait for the sequel!

...that's from the Steam forums.

Quote from Chimeray
Call me old fashioned but I don't like the whole download craze... Same for DLC.I just want to go to the store, look at the shelves, see what's new. Pick up a box, read the manual, insert disk and there you have it...
A download is just... well, not physical

Ditto, I used to love buying a game in the store, the feeling of good anticipation as I couldn't wait to get home and install the game and play it straight away... no DRM or online-log-in registrations like Gay For Windows Live. Pity how it's changed and like deciever says.. it's just one shelve of PC games vs aisles for the consoles.
Quote from SteppenwolfIt makes sense. I'm also not a fan that games that i bought retail only work with Steam. For example when i bought Civ 5 i couldn't play it for two days because it wasn't officialy launched on Steam at this point.Steam should only be an option that retail games give for people who like the socialising and the achievements, DLC etc. It shouldn't be integral part of a retail game. That indeed is creating a monopoly situation.
This... all the way. I've been pretty anti-Steam for a lot of the time and whilst I don't find it as bad as it once was I'd like to have the option to have it rather than be forced to have it, it's pointless as a DRM as we all know full well people crack Steam games on pretty much day one of release.

The world's biggest digital distribution platform for games is under attack.MCV understands that key retailers will drop titles that integrate the popular Steam service as fears mount that the service has a ‘monopoly’ on the download market.
Insiders say Steam, run by US studio Valve, serves a massive 80 per cent of the PC download sector. And retailers preparing their own rival platforms don’t want that share to grow any more.
Some of the biggest PC games – such as Call of Duty and Fallout – use Steam. But retailers are concerned that selling games with the tech built-in pushes users towards only buying games via Valve going forward.
At least two major retailers will demand that publishers remove Steam from their games – or they will not sell them in any form.
“If we have a digital service, then I don’t want to start selling a rival in-store,” said the digital boss at one of the biggest UK games retailers.
“Publishers are creating a monster – we are telling suppliers to stop using Steam in their games.”
The head of sales at a big-name digital service provider agreed: “At the moment the big digital distributors need to stock games with Steam. But the power resides with bricks and mortar retailers, they can refuse to stock these titles. Publishers are hesitant, but retail must put pressure on them.”
Gaikai CEO David Perry told MCV Steam could become the games-equivilent of iTunes, where it dictates the terms of the market, not the other way around: “Steam has made it so easy for everyone and they have lots of users. But how long do you wait before you take control of your own digital strategy? Like with iTunes, at some point it’s going to be too late.”

Quake V is in development?!

I just checked the Steam forums, it's out already apparently.. but it's ambiguous as to whether it fixes both SP and MP or just MP.

These performance issues are unforgivable for such a big release, there's literally about 30 pages of complaints about the PC version on the Steam forums each day and the official Black Ops forums are closed for "maintenance", 90% CPU usage is a travesty! It doesn't effect everyone though, so it's all pot luck as to whether it runs ok for you or not. I'm going to pick this up on Sunday, I haven't bought a new PC game in months and hopefully if the issue is present, Treyarch will have a patch sorted sooner rather than later (unless they want letterbombs in the mail..)
