Yeah, I've cross-referenced some deals on his store to offers on TF2 Outpost/Steam Trades and his are slightly better, but PayPal's crummy exchange rate might render that moot. If he can get extra copies I'll compare the two options.
Yeah, Dunder doesn't give himself [as] much of a profit margin when selling to GAF because he's just a nice guy.

I think that makes 4, if someone is from the US that can host.
Set aside $50 in Paypal funds for Deadly Premonition in under 3 months, but I am tempted to spend it for Divinity: Dragon Commander... and HammerWatch... and Spelunky... and Saints Row IV... and a Racing Wheel...
And there is still Autumn, Halloween and Winter Sales too...

Nice giveaway. I've entered, good luck everyone else who does
This is great of you, thanks! I'm not entering because I didn't like what little I played of the game during a free weekend, but good luck to everyone who does.Purchased a Chivalry 4 pack...so:

Didn't win. Oh well, Warband is superior anyways.
I'm now in Anor Londo in Dark Souls. I never thought I'd enjoy it that much. Impressions c/ced from somewhere else:
I love the way it ceaselessly challenges your intelligence. It's not 'dumb skill', it's careful appreciation of each situation. It constantly presents new things to apprehend. Enemies of course, but also environmental challenges and bits of lore. The pace is crafted masterfully - there is no downtime, even in calmer moments (of which there's a perfect dose) you are still super careful and/or attentive. The moment-to-moment experience is always one of evaluating/assimilating new variables, approaching the unknown. That's pretty amazing.
I feel like everyone's been focusing on "OMG IT'S SO HARDCORE" but it's not actually hard... if it really required superhuman reflexes, like Super Meat Boy for inst., I'd have given up after 10 mins; but a functioning brain is enough. It just requires constant attention. Why don't all games do? We're so used to games doing stuff for us or having sections where you just power through or play somewhat 'dumbly', that when something like Dark Souls happens, where nothing is superficial, it's feels like a marathon.

A few days ago, someone mentioned using a map viewer with Just Cause 2. Now I can't find the post and the JC2 mod site is down. Anyone have a mirror link to one?
I'm curious at which point in Anor Londo you're at, to give that opinion
I didn't have any difficulty with the game at all, until a certain point in Anor Londo...

I'll update my opinion after I completed this area!I'm curious at which point in Anor Londo you're at, to give that opinion

I ran into problems in Anor Londo too. Found it to be one of the most irritating parts of the game

Meanwhile all of the "revenge of the titan" type games from Puppygames just got their cards
Ultratron - 3
Droid Assault - 3
Titan attacks - 3
revenge of titans - 3
Ultratron - 3
Droid Assault - 3
Titan attacks - 3
revenge of titans - 3
it really boils down to having enough patience and play carefully, the difficulty mainly comes from traps and carelessly falling off the maps, etc, it's not comparable to action games because the combat is a lot slower. Unless you messed up your character stats or playing as lvl1, it's not too bad. You will die here and there but the bonfire system is pretty forgiving for the most part, but I guess compared to some modern games, that's enough to turn some people off who "has no time to replay a section if he dies".
Oh, I was going to finish Ultraton. Seems like I got another reason to finish it today

Thank you both!
Only 3 cards each for these? Could be the easiest badges to get!
You can get 3 Cards out of 5 fellow GAFfer.
Bah I know I have those, but I think they're from a bundle that didn't have steam keys
Revenge of the Titans was in either Humble 1 or 2. Grab your key from there
Ahhh, thank you for the clarification! I have Revenge of the Titans so will be firing that up when I get home. The art style of these games has always been good so hopefully the cards reflect that.

im loving rogue legacy!
Have a pre-purchase copy sitting in my inventory that I never got round to installing and playing. For a fellow GAF'fer am happy to swop it for a regular edition.
Now watch the DDE return the store when it updates in a few hours.
Dunder sent me a copy just now. I appreciate the offer, though.
Hi folks, I'm new around here. Been a lurker for quite a while but after seeing how great the community in here is (not to mention the sheer generosity throughout the sale which appears to be continuing) I figured I'd finally get around to registering and join in the fun. Feel free to add me on Steam - can someone invite me to the Gaf group too please?
I have some spare gifts that I'll be giving away as soon as I can and I've also got the following coupons that I won't be using so if any of you want them, shout up:
75% off Hamilton's Great Adventure
50% off Sequence
50% off Strike Suit Infinity (x2)
50% off Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie Army
10% off Toki Tori 2+ (x2)

Thank you toddhunter for Chivalry! I played it during one the free weekends and liked what I saw but was a little intimidated due to the constant losing of my head. Will try to be more successful tonight! (Will have to giveaway a few games myself now but the August budget is really tight, next month then)
