Question. Where does Impulse store/install the games?

You can edit the locations where Impulse downloads under Impulse Settings (the farthest left blue tab). This will also show the default location, if you are having trouble locating stuff.

Make sure you have 10 games in your wishlist to have a chance. I can see a lot of people not reading the fine print.... :laugh:

Exactly.

As soon as i heard i had to have 10 games i scrambled all over the steam store trying to find games i actually want, and there isn't much to go crazy about really.

It's damn good, but it's also damn hard. Not sure about the multiplayer as I am unsocial.

Friggin EA and their limits.
EA games are limited to NA only on Impulse, due to fact that Impulse sells all of their games for the same price for everyone

If anyone's asking what does all that have to do with this - it means I can't buy the extra cheap Dragon Age Ultimate :cry:

sapetto said:

I very much enjoyed Borderlands, but once I finished it, I didn't play it again.
As for multi, not sure about online, but I played it a lot with RL friends in LAN and it was epic fun

(4-player co-op, enemies up-scale in difficulty with number of players)

ummm, where did the number 10 come from? :confused:

All it says in event page is that we need to make a list, and winners will get top 5 games from their wishlist.

Or am I reading it wrong? :laugh:

i thought i saw that you needed 10 games, and you'd win your top 5

1Kurgan1 · Nov 25, 2010

Got my list made, it's kinda confusing having this thread here though, I look in the Hot Deals for this kind of stuff everyday, but I don't usually bother to cheap this post everyday as it's in another section.
