    Hello,

    I really just wanted D&D + DLC's since D&D is one of those indie games that cost a fortune, more than AAA games with the countless idiotic DLCs.

    So here are a list of games to give away. Just express your hate for PhysX.

    Offspring Fling - bubzers
    Snapshot - bubzers
    Closure - splinter22prime
    Legend of Grimrock - silverfern
    The Basement Collection - ronnieb
    Shank 2 - moviemarketing
    Indie Movie - Deagleson

    Someone take these free indie games off me! Unlike Games Meant to be Bribed games, these actually go to the developers, and not the grubby execs who would just laugh and urinate on your notebook.

    Shank 2

    "NVIDIA: The way it's meant to be bribed"

    BTW, Grimrock is a great game, highly recommend it. (Already have it, so requesting Shank 2 instead.)

    He is just jealous because he have to use the CPU to do the PhysX work.

    While Nvidia owners get better FPS because we can use our GPU to do the PhysX since its much better with that sort of work.

    :p

    Oh you can do better than that.

    There are more games, that are rejected by me. I won't be activating them, so might as well pick em up. It's FREE, unlike Nvidia, I actually like being nice to other gamers. All it takes is to humor me a little, tell me how much you hate PhysX. Hell lie, I don't care.

    And at least you know these games went to the developers and maybe a charity. Yes I donated more than the minimum, at least this isn't going into the dirty pockets of stinky PhysX jerks who wanted to all over your beautiful gaming notebook machine.

    Thanks for doing this giveaway hula, it was fun! Looking forward to trying Shank 2.

    And "Indie Game: The Movie" is a great film, I saw this one at Sundance.

    Well im not posting to win any games but i do own one of the "almighty" GTX 680m and i find using PhysX on Borderlands with it a total waste.
    It cuts my FPS so hard compared to having it set to low that it should be illegal and im using the latest WHQL driver release for Nvidia.
    Only other negative thing i can think of is that i gotta mod my drivers to install but thats not a big problem since im on a unsupported notebook anyways but i dont regret upgrading from my old HD 6970m.

    Aww, c'mon, take a game. Maybe just do a 30 minute stream or video of one. They aren't going to be played by me.

    Offspring Fling or Snapshot

    PhysX is still around? Why? Or more importantly...Why?

    true gamers have to be on board for low quality hardware-proprietary physics engines, and are forbidden from using specific cell phones?

    interesting.

    I'm supposed to be in the same bucket with my T61. But I'm about to get me an advanced dock and put 7750 'low profile' in there, as I'm hearing only good things about it and that's the fastest card I can find that runs on PCI power only and is small thus can fit, or at least I hope so.

    many thanks to hulawafu77 for giving away games :D
