I am quite confident that I will end up buying Talos DLC (I wanted it after I finished the main game, and then The Witness was released) and Firewatch (even though the game is only 5-8 hours long), but I am more skeptical about the other two because I have never played games of similar genres. So I am looking for some opinions on these. Has anyone played Castaway Paradise or Aviary Attorney? I read Aviary is only 3 hours long so the price asked looks really steep, but the visuals and music look and sound great. Castaway is made by the people who made Ichi and seems to have tons of contents.
I also have to keep in mind that Michonne should be released next week.

Runestone Keeper great roguelite / minesweeper game. Looks simple at first, but theres a surprisingly deep gameplay in it. 60+ hours and counting for me. Cant have enough.
Desktop Dungeons coffee brake roguelike with puzzle elements and huge replayability.
Tales of Maj'Eyal the best roguelike on the market. Simple graphics, but almost limitless potential for hours to spend in it. Theres also an ingame chat with friendly community always willing to help.
Battle Brothers medieval fantasy turn-based RPG / RTS with surprisingly deep gameplay, fantastic atmosphere, and promises of it being even better game after EA is over. The best turn based game I played in 10 years.
The Talos Principle first person puzzle made by Serious Sam devs. Smart and interesting challenges, with surprisingly deep story and beautiful world.
Antichamber first-person puzzle that doesn't play like Portal 2 at all. It's a mind-bending game, that makes you throw away preconceptions and prior experience playing video games and think differently.
Lovely Planet Super Meat Boy from first person perspective with colorful world and VERY challenging levels. A speed run game.
Snakebird surprisingly hard but neat puzzle game. Easy buy for those who want both challenging and clever experience.
Eldritch first person action inspired by roguelikes and Lovecraft.
Teleglitch Quake II-esque world with top-down perspective and one life per run.
The Fall platformer / puzzle / adventure with good story and dialogs. Rather short.
Hexcells neat little variation on minesweeper. Relaxing music and enough levels to keep you busy for a few evenings.
Infested Planet take control of a squad responsible of purging huge amount of xenos in a top-down realtime strategy. Has that Aliens / WH40k vibe.
Jets'n'Guns absolutely fantastic and rad SHMUP with ridiculous number of levels, enemies, Jets and GUNS. GORGEOUS soundtrack by cult power-metal group Machinae Supremacy.
Shadowgate very well done remake of an old NES adventure game. Just the game to spend dull winter evenings in almost pen-n-paper atmosphere. Good experience for those who love the genre.
Silent Storm still relevant RPG / TBS made by Russians, set in the WWII / post-WWII world. More than solid, has the best turn based system I've ever seen in any game. Full and total destruction of almost anything you can find on levels. Rare game to have Axis story arc in it.
Pix The Cat a VERY good variation on a classic snake formula. Huge replayability, addictive soundtrack, and co-op designed for parties.
Duck Game it's a game. About Ducks. Imagine Smash bros. with ducks and huge variety of different weapons, destructible environment, and dedicated QUACK button. Must have for parties.
Hammerwatch probably the best Gauntlet inspired game that ever came out.
Space Beast Terror Fright addictive FPS / dungeon crawler set in sci-fi world that reminds of Warhammer 40k Space Hulk and Aliens. Has co-op for up to 4 players on the same screen. Epileptics beware.

I have an issue with Larian's reporting tool during its system testing process.
Under the DirectX Version it lists as 0 and failed.
Using dxdiag to check, I get asked dxdiag has detected a problem accessing direct3d and system information and I have to press yes to bypass it otherwise it crashes :|
Anyways, under dxdiag it shows my directx version as blank. Any help? I can run any game i've installed just fine, so i'm not sure why this issue is even happening. Windows version is 10, and I use a laptop.
EDIT: Got it resolved!

As someone who have never given a damn about profile comments I have to ask, does anyone? I saw some +rep fishing going on along the lines of:
If you people want Tea Party Simulator 2015™ for free* (minus your dignity of doing simon says and actually having it in your library but given I have Bad Rats, Angels of Fasaria and plenty of other pieces of shit I think my dignity is long lost) and why wouldn't you after Jim Sterling (TEA PARTY SIMULATOR 2015 - Oh For Christ's Shitting Sake) here you go:
https://gleam.io/WXF3Q/teapartysim
*-...it has trading cards...I swear one of these days a game that displays nothing more than a black screen (or just crash completely) is going to get greenlit and have 100k users just because it has trading cards.
And other slight variants which suggests people do care about profile comments.

Get a laptop cooler/fan for it? Also, do you clean the dust regularly?
I don't have those
and it's my gaming weekend, dammit, can Universe give me some slack for once?
Or there are the hella lot od faulty HDDs in the wild, or my luck is having a field year, it's second new HDD that dies in a six months.
I had 4 hardware failures in one year, two on a new PC. Somebody, tell me that PC gaming is cheap, again.
OK, done with complaining now.
So, there is nothing to be done about mob. radeons overheating like crazy?
you mean those external ones? Do they even work? I never tried

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't have much of a selection choice and am stuck wit ha cheap chinese copy :|
I would love to know a better alternative for myself.
I just checked, they aren't exactly cheap and I would have to wait till Tuesday for delivery anyway, *sigh
apparently Deepcool ones are good, if I can believe what I was told.
I have two questions:
1. Which is the better game, Endless Legend or Endless Space?
2. Recommend me some soundtracks on Steam. I want to grow that library now.
I'm just curious now, what was your nickname before?
Yeah, I felt the same way. The atmosphere is what sold me on it, but the writing really left something to be desired.

I stayed up an hour later than usual paying Paint It Back.
I think that's a good sign.
I think that's a good sign.
PS4 is best for 2D games, anything that uses DPad basically.
XBO might be best for FPS shooters, but if you play them on PC with a pad, you're doing things wrong (tm)
Steam is divisive to say the least, some people love it, some hate it with a vengeance.

I have no way of buying from that brand lol
So, I need help. I'm trying to fix the laptop of a friend because start button totally stopped working.
I tried scannow from Powershell, no errors at all.
Now I'm doing DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, even if probably won't solve nothing since there are no errors.
I hope I won't need to reinstall, after this I only have the recover backup option, is there anything else I can try?

Huh interesting list, thanks. Wishlisted a whole bunch of them
While re-playing Shantae I noticed that the seams of my DS4 around the handles don't fit snug anymore giving the cheap top plastic a little room to flex and creak when applying moderate force with my palms. I carefully applied some scotch tape to the seam and snapped the controller back together. It fixed the issue but for a controller that got so little use in only 4 month this is very disappointing and I hate to ghetto-fix my hardware. I really like the design of this thing but its build quality is poor. I personally still think the 360 one is superior to both the DS4 and XO controller ... except for the dpad.
If it's Windows 10 just restart it, it's a common problem that used to happen to me a lot - though has since disappeared after removing Avira anti-virus.
Restarted didn't work, sadly, but turning off and on fast boot did the trick.

I actually am considering a purchase myself- I was on final deployment in 2007 and played catch-up when I got home. This slipped through. ForgetAmnesia sold me on the game in one trailer-How is World in Conflict?
Forgot the reason I wishlisted it, but someone convince me to pull the trigger on it ;P
Hotline Miami 1 and 2, Transistor, Bastion, Shovel Knight, Undertale are the ones that I can think off the top of my head.

It's not getting cheaper, not with Valve's new sale policy and Ubisoft forgetting this game exists.How is World in Conflict?
Forgot the reason I wishlisted it, but someone convince me to pull the trigger on it ;P
Also is this the cheapest that Alan Wake Collection has been?
