Hah, I'm too cheap to get a wheel for racing games. Always been using keyboard for racing, and it's relatively fun.

I also play NFS World off and on (cars are insanely expensive in the higher classes, if you have no skill mods/don't do treasure hunts daily). It's essentially taking both worlds from NFS Most Wanted and Carbon, merging Most Wanted into Carbon, and then making it a racing MMO. Granted, some cars will have awesome gripping power and others will be boats (the Audi R8s are boaty unfortunately), and it's more an arcade than a sim anyways. Still, free to play, and fun to play with (considering most players tend to have a C class car if they've been playing for a while).

If you ever get the game/have it and want to play it again, look me up on there sometime. I'm not on there now (Warframe is so much fun), but if you ever feel like it just hit me up and I'l go a few rounds with ya.

I definitely need to try it. Stupid internet is keeping me from it though, or even seeing videos of it. What is this, the 90s?

Autosport is on sale again. That game keeps going on sale, like every month it goes on like a 70% sale.

EDIT: A game I should have mentioned is NASCAR Heat. Whilst you probably aren't a fan of driving cars in circles for hours, it has plenty of non-NASCAR mods for it. I know you use windows 8 or 8.1, and my 8.1 machine does not run it more then 3FPS. My issue is also shared by another person, and to my knowledge he never got around it. But, there appears to be a demo so you could try that and see how it runs. http://www.fileplanet.com/48531/40000/fileinfo/NASCAR-Heat-Demo-v1.1

Happy birthday man!

I know it's not necessarily a racing sim, but I'l give credit, TrackMania United is awesome. The gameplay is incredible, physics are very realistic surprisngly (even though most tracks are built like a stunt course), and you can't ram into other players. I still hop into it every now and then (the Carpark site has loads of Car skins for the game, and some even have custom engine sounds as well), and I always get a good kick out of it.

If you aren't willing to shell out $30 for it, Trackmania Nations offers the same experience, with the only difference being no other environments (literally, just the Stadium environment, which is fine since nobody really plays the others online).

I actually do have Nations, I've just been to lazy to play it. And it doesn't really seem to want me to use a controller or a wheel.  And I dislike keyboards for driving games.

Yeah, that's thing I hated about the 2 Shift games. Great graphics and stuff, but the boat-like handling is a nightmare. Spent a solid hour trying to perfect the tutorial on Shift 2 due to the crappy grip of the tires. At least Shift 1 didn't have as far boat-like handling in it.

Really just looking for a simcade without the boaty handling. Is GRID like that? Or boaty as well?

I thought the original Shift was, well, slightly like a boat. But I also haven't played it for a while due to it's...      unique handling. Any way you describe it, it left a lot to be desired.

And, I also heard there was a handling mod that corrects the grip levels and such for Shift 2. I don't own Shift 2, so I haven't an idea if it's any good or not. Tell me if it's any good, if it is I may try it.

I believe this to be it.  http://www.virtualr.net/need-for-speed-shift-2-handling-minimod-released/
Mods are so nice.

Grid, it has it, but nothing awful. It's just a hint that it's there, and can be a pain. I feel like I'm cornering and not knowing where the car will end up until I exit the corner or hit a wall. That annoys me. Though the F3 and F2 cars lack it, and are reason enough to buy Autosport. You probably missed the deal when it was Dirt cheap, didn't you?

Speaking of Dirt...             it's pretty good. While I only have the third one working, the one that's most hated, I like it. It has the same issues as Grid but it's twice as fun.

While writing this I remembered that CD codes on physical versions work with steam often, the first one had some security issue with my PC. But the steam version should work. I added a satellite ISP a while back so I can now download things like a normal human being. But, alas it went over the data limit (Though it didn't... they just like saying that) so I cannot DL the original Dirt. I did hear it is pretty good at not being floaty, so if it isn't floaty I'll let you know.

Maybe Driver: San Francisco? Test Drive Unlimited 1-2? (I have no experience with this one, but I hear it's good)

The Project Gotham Racing series was extremely fun, but only on Xbox. If you have an Xbox or Xbox 360, get a copy. It's one great game.

Ugh...     I really need to play the Jk series, but I haven't had the time. 

Lately I've been playing a lot of flight sims.
The flight sims I have been playing are IL-2 1946 and IL-2 Cliffs of Dover. Great fun. Lucky me Microsoft Flight Sim is 80% off, so I'll have to try that one out.

Had NFS Shift and Shift 2: Unleashed a few weeks ago. Not something I play regularly though (both games have boat-like handling I've found), but it's always fun to play whenever I feel like racing Nurburgring Nordschleife (so long...so challenging....but sooooo fun).

Nurburgring is fun, but it's annoying to drive for ten minutes if you only want to do the carousel.    And sadly all simcades seem to have boat-ish handling it seems. TOCA was even like that. 

BF1942 is quite possibly the best FPS of all time (If you consider SWBF to be TPS). Nothing is quite as rewarding as nailing a Loopzook. Nothing is more disappointing when you realize it didn't record it. You should try BF Vietnam. I like it a bit better, but it's all a matter of opinion.

Welcome to the community.

Hello! 

With Starfighter being included, I couldn't help myself from buying this.  I have most of the games on a physical disk, but a couple (Expansion(s) of EaW don't work, for example) have problems running. Here are the games I have no use for.

KotOR 1/2

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Dark Forces 1

Battlefront 2

Message me if you want one, but, only one with the exception of the KotOR games. I will bundle those unless you would rather just have one.

If it has been a couple days and one has not been taken but you have already gotten one, feel free to ask for another game.









I may add more games if I can fix my physical versions.

I cannot guarantee the codes after March 5th.

Hey!

Yarg, everytime I try to grab an SWRC key Steam says its a duplicate (meaning it's already been activated).

Don't worry, I plan on getting the pack. (can't guarantee it though) I have SWRC, you can have my key if I get it.

Ok, so I have it downloaded, I extracted the file, and when I try to run it, it get a message saying "You cant run this file because binkw32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program and try again" I have done this, and I continue to get the same message. Any advice?

I'm in a bit of a rush so this post will be a bit uninformative. I have 4 EXEs in my SWBF folder. Look around for some, 1 of my EXEs gives the same error report you get.

EDIT: Now that I am no longer in a hurry...


Just make sure you look around all the folders and click all the EXEs. The binkw32 issue is very common and for me usually just means I am pushing the wrong button.

Looks absolutely amazing Sereja!
If making maps was your campaign goal in running for U.S. presidency, I'd vote for you

You inspired me 


Looks epic, Sereja.  Your work is amazing.

I already have these from a package I got on Steam a while back, PM me if you want the Steam code for one or both.
(Both are good fun.)



-edit
Better yet, there are the codes. Please post if they work or don't work.
(Steam >> Games >> Activate a Product on Steam... )

Thanks, DF was the only one I really needed. That's been a game I have wanted to play for like 2-3 years now.  :)Dark Forces worked. I am not going to use the Jedi Academy one, I had a problem with a physical copy (Not compatible with a graphics card or something) on my current and old PC. It could have been that one from the series or another JK, but I'm not digging it out to check.

I'm pretty sure he is referring to Star Wars: Battlefront. I mean after all that is why we are all here.

Yeah, I was referring to SWBF1. Though it couldn't really have been on the Humble Bumble since it isn't on steam. Ugh...     that needs to change one day. 

EDIT: Went to a thrift store not to long ago and found Dark Forces 2 and Jedi Academy at a thrift shop. Heh, what luck.

KOTOR 1/2

Jedi Knight Jedi Academy

Dark Forces

BFII

Republic Commando

SW: EaW Gold Pack

TFU 1/2

3 new games where released and I'm too lazy to put them on here. LOL!

Lots of cool SW games, but they didn't include the best one.
