Okami or god hand should be the next one to drop onto steam, would make my year.
Screw Okami and it's gibberish that you can't turn off.
Give me God Hand. Or Asura's Wrath. Or whynotboth.gif.
I have a dream that one day a man can play Dead Rising 1 at a proper resolution and framerate.

This too. DR was a greaaaat game. It's design just don't click for a lot of people and they decide "this game sucks" without really playing it right in the first place.
I tried to get into DR1 several times and all i remember was fuck those assholes in the park with their jeep + mounted gun
And here's an example of just that!
Most everyone seems to think "I should fight these guys" or get mad when they die.
Neither is appropriate if your new to the game... the real way this works is that should you die there, you're not very far in and it doesn't take long to get back there -- so you restart the game with all your PP/levels, get a ton more when you rescue the old couple from the roof and take pictures of it (also, pictures during the intro sequence), then you try again... all the while, Frank is getting more life, getting faster, gaining special moves, etc. So even if you die the first time, you try running across again later... and then you should be fast enough to make it... and if you die... you retry again.
The genius of the game is really in its effective use of the XP/levels carrying over when you die and restart. Eventually you've learned where a lot of the great weapons spawn, you know what you like, you know the routes of things, etc. so you can start working toward your "I saved all survivors" or "I killed all psychopaths" or even the "I'm going for the true ending.
DR2 did this well too, but it reduced a bit of the need for restarting to build up your initial levels. It still works fine... and if you're far enough in the game where restarting is a drag, hopefully you found a savepoint and made a record of your stuff not too long ago.
Speaking of the DR games, if Capcom ever does bring DR to Steam, hopefully they bring the short XBLA only titles that bookend DR2 with it. I can't remember the names of them (the prequel type game that was a demo of sorts was better than the sequel type game that brought "what the fuck happened to him" Frank back) but they were definitely solid and I'd love to own them on Steam (more reasons I can get rid of my x360 finally, sitting alongside the hope that James Silva finally ports The Dishwasher to PC as he has said was the case for a few years now).
The current exchange rate has Firewatch on the Canadian store now going for $13.87 USD.
If you want it for that much, PM me. We'll work through PayPal and I'll use your money to get a gift copy for you.
I'm reputable - have positive seller feedback in BST, done plenty of giveaways, and already helped Maniac get Firewatch.
And, I repeat: This is not for profit. This is using your money to buy games cheaper for you. Canadian titles are not region locked.
This is something I'm going to do exclusively for you guys, since I trust y'all.
Lots of games are really, really cheap right now - especially thanks to the sale.
I can also do euro/gbp!
Got a question about other games? PM me!
I'll keep this post updated.
Good guy EtDP... much appreciated, man. It's refreshing to see someone who just wants to help people out and isn't in it to make profit off people.
I originally went back to find and quote this because you had listed a few prices out and I was going to note that anyone who was considering ARK for the $15 or whatever it was in CDN should just get the pre-purchase on the March Humble Monthly since $12 would get them ARK + a number of other games.
A guy I knew in college transformed one of the rooms in his house into a bitcoin farm (tons of blade servers with GPU mining nonstop). He had to install some kind of cooling system for the room. This was all in the beginning of the bitcoin saga.
Guy must be a millionaire now.
I never understood bitcoin in the first place... it always seemed like some arbitrary new "money" that reminded me of paypal for people who don't trust the governments of the world.
But this mining thing... this doesn't fit into any sort of understanding I previously had of bitcoin.
ouch, well I'm getting a pad this month at least.
(Actually is it even a good idea to get a pad from a company which might even go bankrupt?)
Unless the pad is a pile of junk and you need to make use of a warranty, I don't see why it would be a *bad* idea if you like the style/design/feel of the pad.
