Well look who's making an appearance in everyone's favorite F2P Steam game
what does this mean for Minecraft on Steam?
Here is the Description:
If the "One of a kind" isn't flavor text, it is likely being given to just a single person.
Given that the face is designed to look like Notch and not Steve, and that it has a black fedora (like Notch), it suggests that yes, this is a Notch-only item.

I wonder how much those extra suits will be considering the Nightwing and Robin packs are $7 each on GFWL.

L.A. Noire 50% off, are you freaking kidding me? I bought it at release, two weeks ago, and now they're cutting the price in half?
I haven't touched the game yet, is there a way to get a refund? Talk about pissing on your loyal customers who buy new games at full price.

you should have waited knowing holidays are around. and especially during December. don't buy shit until christmas sale starts.
You should be pissed at yourself for buying a game full price and not playing it for weeks. What were you thinking??
Yeah, it's pretty much how Steam has always worked.
For VVVVVV, I don't like hard platformers and I didn't care for the demo TOO much, but I really like the music. Does the game come with soundtrack files you can listen to or do you need to buy the soundtrack separately?
You only have yourself to blame.

Separately
Thanks. Is it appropriate for me to point out here that there are two songs in the game that are NOT on that soundtrack, and they are included in the sound file package in the Steam install? I just installed VVVVVV on Steam and it appears simple to extract the OGG files (including those two missing songs) from the data files. Does anyone know any EULA etc. issues with doing that?
I did but I have no regrets.
If it's any comfort for people who paid full price, presumably you paid full price to support the developer since you felt the game was worth it. If it was say, buying a game on sale at a store, I assume the dev gets the same money from it. If you buy a game on sale on Steam, however, devs get LESS money for each game, I'm pretty sure, so you helped the dev out! Or...something. =P

I'm so tempted to get LA Noire but I think I'd rather wait for it to be even cheaper. Other than that, another day of not wanting anything. Feels good.
Yeah, that occurred to me partway through writing the post, but I guess it applies in general.

It's the thought that counts!
By bad port they pretty much just mean "not better then the console version".
It's not worse then the console versions so... *shrug*
I emailed Terry Cavanagh, and almost immediately got a response, which was pretty cool. I asked if it was okay to extract the VVVVVV soundtrack files since I had bought it on Steam, and he said:
He also said that he'd never done the global game jam but that he preferred individual game jams like Ludum Dare.
Terry Cavanagh said:For your own personal use, it's totally fineSouleye is planning a
new release of the soundtrack with those songs in a while, though, so
please don't share them!
He also said that he'd never done the global game jam but that he preferred individual game jams like Ludum Dare.
The game just isn't worth that much. It has a nice concept, but the execution is dull. After a few cases, it starts to become repetitive and the cutscenes/story add very little.

I already bought the Souleye soundtrack. I wonder if I'd have to buy it again for the new stuff?

Did what no addict should do and looked through the $5 and under games. Now I'm doing what no friend should do and I am showing you what I found. Any thoughts on these?
Helldorado $2 - Great art style
Capsized $2.50 - Graphics and physics seem a bit to much like a flash game to me.
Robin Hood $5 - Looks cool, but then again I am addicted to isometric games. I have a category for them.
Gatling Gears $5 - Looks cool.
Syberia II $5 - Love the style
Railroad Tycoon II Platinum $3.34 - More interesting to me than the polygonal 3rd entry.
Legend of Fae $5 - Panel de Pon adventure game?
Star Wars Jedi Starfighter $3 - Old. I'd be concerned of 1080p support.
Delve Deeper $1.24 - I have no idea what is going on in the video.
Faerie Solitaire $1 - Fancy solitaire for $1
Eversion $1.25 - Could be really good.
Children of the Nile Pack $3.12 - See previous statement about isometric addiction.
Majesty 2 $4 - I heard it was really unique and interesting.
Westward Collection $3.74 - You could add Westward IV and it'd be about $5.50. They look like cute fun. Sim + Harvest Moon + Western.
Magnetis $2 - Not even on sale, it's just hella cheap.
I personally recommend:
Critical Mass $1.25
Helldorado $2 - Great art style
Capsized $2.50 - Graphics and physics seem a bit to much like a flash game to me.
Robin Hood $5 - Looks cool, but then again I am addicted to isometric games. I have a category for them.

Syberia 2 is a pretty good adventure game. Legend of Fae is a fun puzzle RPG. I really enjoyed Capsized but a lot of people here didn't seem to. It has a beautiful art style and the gameplay is physics-based and I thought it was fun.
I own Syberia 1 and 2 but haven't played them. Presumably good. High Metacritic. *edit* Make sure you get the bundle that has BOTH games if you want to save $2.50!
Eversion is still free if you want to try it. I think the Steam version may have something extra but I don't know the details. I never even finished the free version since it was too difficult for me. http://zarat.us/tra/offline-games/eversion.html
Eversion is great. If you're going to get Syberia II you should play Syberia I first.

Syberia pack really interests me. I'll wait to see if it drops further. Ideally Alice and Sonic will both drop to 75% off but I think it's unlikely. If it doesn't happen, I'll have money for Syberia games. Might nab Robin Hood if anyone can confirm the possibility of non-ancient resolutions or at least 1280x960 windowed mode.
Syberia I and II are both amazing, play both, Syberia II is a direct continuation of Syberia I's story. Both comprise one whole story.
Children of the Nile is sort of 'eh', I'd pass on it.

This talk of Syberia is making me wish for Syberia 3 even more.

listen to the mad man
Eversion lasts about an hour. On the other hand, during that hour, and especially if you play to get every ending, you will have several moments where your jaw drops. Don't Youtube anything, don't read about the game, just play it. If the surprise is ruined, your experience will be greatly impacted.

So damn good. I fondly remember playing it in my childhood. Plays like the Desperado games for those of you who've played those.
Sold.

Syberia, Faerie Solitaire, and Eversion are all good.

What's Helldorado? Is it similar to Desperado? Worse? Better? Totally different?
Can I have yours?
Unofficial sequel to Desperado 2.
