Happy Holidays ya filthy animals

Hated this boss.
 
As far as I'm aware, the closest EA has come to cracking down on VPN usage is retroactively cancelling select Dragon Age: Inquisition pre-orders.

They removed all of my vpn purchased games for a few weeks then they magically reappeared in my library.
 
How's the dub in Danganronpa 1&2?
Sounds as good as a game where the most intelligent thing characters say is "PUFUFUFUFU" is.

It's pitchy and annoying sound bites that summarize a reaction a character has, not the whole line of dialogue. All in all it's not the worst part of the game, but that's a lot to ask for in a game as bad as DR.

Cool, thanks. Whenever there's a post about Origin deals on reddit, there are a select few that have been banned and blame vpns but I reckon it's probably because of other more nefarious reasons.

In case anyone is interested, BF1 is:
30 usd on Mexican Origin.
25 usd on SEA Origin
22 usd on South Korean Origin.
 
I have that table. How do I make good equipment with it?

There should be a part about items in there. Go in your Equip menu or your Item menu and bring the selection cursor to the item you want to modify.

You can change:
- Which powers are on each of the 4 slots (my table has them by name and ID for ease)
- How many stacks on each slot (1, 2 or 3... well ok, you can cheat and put more than 3 which is the max in the game normally)

If you want to cheat, you can also change the stats of the item, how many times it's been fused and even what the item is (the IDs are simple and linear)
 
Just played 15 minutes of Bastion. I got to the Skyline, or whatever, right after where you are running fast to dodge enemies to the end. Does this game get better?

I finally have time to play something and took a look at this game from my backlog. I am not saying the game is bad but just not sure if my thing.
 
Is there any good way to get these guest passes out of my inventory? Do I just activate them? Or does anyone want guest passes for CS: Source and Killing Floor? lol
 
Anyone have any opinions on Forced Showdown?

I keep almost purchasing it then not. It seems like something I'd like, with the deckbuilding and different characters, but I just don't know!

I bought it yesterday and put a couple of hours into it. I really like it. It's has random rogue lite elements, cards, hack 'n slash/twin stick shooter elements and lot's of collecting, items, leveling, deckbuilding and unlocking stuff to keep it interesting. It kind of feels a little bit like a single player MOBA too... I guess. I don't know, only MOBA I played is Awesomenauts (which I think is awesome). But the game is really well designed and everything just feels so good. The deckbuilding and unlocking new cards is really well implemented. It's always enough to keep me going for another round. I can highly recommend it.

Best five bucks I spend this sale. It's a shame not a lot of people seem to be playing this game.

It gets better when more RPG elements open up. I really like the game and remember not being a huge fan of the beginning.
 
hey just tried to use the market to sell cards and apparently i cant for 15 days?? I installed the mobile app and verified my email but it still wont let me any way around this?

It's a bug or some new bullshit. I used to be able to add/remove the mobile app without problem. But since last Friday I'm blocked from using the market until 8 January.
 
I've finally decided to Idle Master all of my cards. Most of them are worth jack, but nevertheless, currently sitting at € 7,75 in card money and with over 90 cards still listed on the market. Almost got that free copy of Axiom Verge which I have been aiming for. :D

Edit: Though with a bit of luck maybe I can stretch it and get Hyper Light Drifter instead.

Torchlight 2 -- MB-10BAAB3F92AB113A - Taken by Erebus

Merry Christmas all :)
 
I got Grim Dawn and I have to say, after playing for a couple of hours, this game is fantastic. Finally a game that reminds me what it felt like to play Diablo 2. Get on it if you're thinking about it.

All's well that ends well! I'd say EA is happy to look the other way for as long as there's no pressure from its third-party partners to act.

Hmmm it won't give me the option to trade them, and when I filter my inventory they're flagged as non-tradeable. Unless I'm supposed to do it some other way?

Ah. You can ask Valve to remove them. The support ticket system was recently retired, presumably because too many people were using it as a second chance at getting a refund on No Man's Sky, but the "Contact Steam Support" option still appears in certain contexts on the Steam Help site, such as here.
 
Almost feel bad about giving this away, though I have to admit. I'm actually morbidly curious about this game myself:

Yo esteemed steamgaffers.

In Xanadu Next, in Ti
me Crevice, is there ever any reason to destroy all those punchable blocks? Like there's nothing hidden under there or anything dumb like that?
 
Should I get h1z1 KOTH gaf?

Yes. An amazing game with loads of potential. Highly addicting especially with friends. You can play solo, doubles, or fives. If you're into survival games like Minecraft, Rust, Ark, etc., Just Survive is recommended too
 
Rabi-Ribi players, is there a way to play this game with a pad using the digital pad and not the analog sticks to control the bunnygirl? I just can't stand 2d games which force analog stick controls for movement on me instead of the digital pad.

Edit: NM, after alt tabbing and stuff the digital pad works... this is weird.
