hey guys thought I'd see who uses steam on here in case a few of you might like a bash at CS:S, TF2 L4D or anything else I have (if only to call SAU ppl faggots on mic looolz), given that the gaming nights were a bit of a letdown.

I already have Ash on there, my username funnily enough is bozodos.

or if you CBF come looking for me on the Surf Infamous CS:S Gungame server, I usually play on there :P

I use Steam. I'm actually a fan of it! It appeals to my laziness with buying games, and the prices are actually less then in-store!

I just downloaded Mass Effect 2 last night, haven't played it yet, didn't even play the first one but figured I would give this a go.

woot

I used to play TF2 but it got repetative and stale... and all those upgraded weapons that I didn't know f**ked me over... I bought Dragon Age:Origins but that got pretty boring pretty quickly.

I played Borderlands pretty thoroughly, never got into the multiplayer though...

I have been thinking about getting L4D2 for some time now, I miss multiplayer games, but I just don't really have the time.

I used to call it steaming pile of shit. Because for those who don't remember, back when Half Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.X was all the rage we had a simple existing process for installing and playing games. You just installed Half Life 1 with a CD and downloaded/installed CS on top of that. Then you downloaded whatever updates were available. You could activate any mod easily through the Half Life menu. But then the Steam dependant CS:Source came along, forcing you to download Steam (combination of good and bad marketing IMO...it forced people to try out Steam but also made many reluctant to take on CS:S for this reason - we hate third party / unnecessary software!).

Trying it out after converting to CS:S changed my opinion of it though...now that it's been refined into a user friendly package it's a great tool. Buying games online...and being able to play them on any PC just by logging into your account and downloading the game is a big advantage. At the same time you don't own the physical product which sucks, and if your account gets hacked/banned then you're in a good mess. Automatic game updates are handy. Searching for half-life based game servers too. It simplifies the hell out of things if you have alot of different computer games. And games like Left 4 Dead, which have very poor in game user interfaces/menus pretty much depend on it for player/clan interaction.

You can actually back your shit up Birds. When I built my computer, I was moving those files every which way, and the games still worked.

I had to re-download borderlands, at least, Steam thought I did... I had all the files necessary, started the download, paused it, moved all the files into the Borderlands directory, resumed the download and it went from 1% to 99%... Pretty sure it was just verifying files.

So you can just backup the game directories if you want. I've been thinking about it, cause my steam folder is something like 60gbs...

I didn't like it at first either cause it felt like some crap software was being forced on me, but it's definately a bonus now. Kinda like if iTunes worked with MP3s and didn't sync and delete shit when it felt like it...

Oh yeah everyone hated Steam back in the days when a lot of people had dialup still, TF2 is only really annoying when they bring out new weapons which everyone who plays 24/7 gets straight away due to achievement farming or sheer time spent in game, then having to spend another 2 - 3 weeks getting pwnd until you get them at random.

There is an SAU group on steam btw

lol I had someone in CS ask me the other day if i was the same person as here :banana:

you should Ash, then if a few people wanna have a game they can just use public servers and do it informally

I was going to get L4D2 but is it really worth 50 bucks over L4D?

I don't have L4D so I'll probably buy L4D2 when my frickin audio starts working again!

I was playing Mass Effect 2 last night, I'm not an instant fan. I think the game pretty heavily assumes you played the first one and know wtf you're doing... I was racking up points for all this shit and had no idea wtf to do with them... I think I have like $50000 and have nfi what they do...

Can you jump in this game?

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
