That does look pretty good. I've never purchased from Bundle Stars before. This might be the first. I've wanted Dark sector and Septura Core for awhile.

Shoot Many Robots is quite fun, extremely disposable but decent for a cheap price. Flatout Ultimate Carnage is brilliant and one of my favourite racing games this gen. It's basically an enhanced Flatout 2 but better. However, it uses GFWL so that's a minus.
The Necrovision games are fun, I have a soft spot for The Farm 51s janky shooters. It also has some of the worst voice acting in a FPS.
If you like janky shooters Necrovision is worth a few dollars. It can get really intense.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I've just spent a couple of hours on the original & I have to agree with you about the clunkiness. I suspect that there's still fun to be had, but I think that I'm going to put it back on the virtual shelf and wait until the HD remake of the sequel arrives.
Yeah, would be great, but I really can't see it happening.

Thanks for Trine 2 buddy
You're welcome. I had a horrible suspicion that I might have already given that one away, so I'm just glad that it worked.
Bugger. Sorry for posting two in a row. Mind you, with all the glitchiness right now, it's a miracle that I got either of them up.
I actually tried doing this but did it in your profile page, which gave me a neogaf-hosted version! Dang it.
I enjoyed from the first minute to the last. Just the minute until the last boss appears because I still can't defeat him. Graphically is awesome. Visually is orgasmic and difficulty (playing with gamepad) is perfect. Fluid, old school, lots of hidden secrets and riddled with hundreds of bloodthirsty enemies. 9/10
ow, something's not right - ModBot PM'd me telling me I won Trine 2 and I used the key before noticing the post was edited saying Nymphae won. Did I fuck up?
When a game like Chex Quest had more satisfying gunplay that's a pretty big problem.
If you right-click -> View Image, you'll get the image.php URL, but if you right-click -> Save Image As, you'll get the actual file name (although
Then I played another Serious Sam 3.
then I have to play another SS3. That DD3 that has a helluva gunplay.
Your image name actually works for me (Chrome on Win7).

But most FPSes have less satisfying gunplay than anything made in the Doom engine, that's just not fair.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
1) It's art style is ugly, repetitive, and at its worst is actually repulsive (thanks for the extra detail of the gaping vagina on the flying monster, Croteam).
2) It's fluid in the sense that you're a flying head weightlessly traversing bland and samey spaces.
3) Polio is old school and yet that doesn't inherently elevate it.
4) Difficulty can be hard to gauge in the game depending on the settings you roll with. If you give yourself infinite lives, it isn't very difficult. Regardless, monster closets aren't difficult: they're just tedious.
5) There is no value in finding the hidden secrets beyond traversing the same levels even more.
Hard riddle + Desura key = low demand
Yup, I'll use the same trick next time I gift a £20 Steam game to see who's paying attention.
Ah, that means it was at least solvable! good job
Anyway, now the riddle's solution has been given but no one claimed the gift still? Demand must be really low...

You... didn't see any glitches on the ship? And you enjoy being Douchebag McFuckwad (the tutorial guy)?
Also, man, the new Thiaf 'gameplay' trailer just makes me cry. I can't believe this is from the same people that brought us DX:HR...

Looks like Steam Card Exchange has a page for Steam's badges.
Nothing too interesting except that the Hardware Beta badge seems to have a hidden third level.

Believe it or not Human Revolution was pretty much just as bad coming from the first, I guess with its general kitchen sink design people are more lenient with expectations whereas Thief's expectations are laser focused.

I assume it'll be given to beta participants.

I sent Modbot a PM nearly an hr ago.
Let me check my odds so far: "You are now one out of 333,002 eligible beta candidates"

I took the Rkctr key, thanks.
Sorry for the delay am at work went to a damn 1 hour and a half meeting.
Got 20 messages from Modbot 1 to 3 with the key.

Not sure if into Volgarr or not. It just feels soooo slow after playing Rogue Legacy for 20 hours in the past few weeks. And not like Castlevania 1 slow, more like... Sega MegaDrive slow. Like slow motion Ghosts and Goblins. Still, getting hang of it and getting past most of a level easily was rather fun and rewarding and did some cool tricks too.
Absolutely not. Insect Armageddon is OK at best but I'd take Serious Sam 3 over it any fuckin day.
EDF4 on the other hand.......
Eh, I'll give you that it was a bit of a step down from the first one, but at least you could still pretty much play DX:HR how you wanted to play it (ignoring the stupid boss fights). Also, it had non-contextual jumping.
This looks like it has Uncharted level Michael Bay ohnoeseverythingisfallingapart "dramatic" scenes and guards that... recognise you (what the fuck?), both of which are just... no. Coupled with the uninspired voice acting and the matrix "shoot 3 dudes in the head with arrows at the same time!!!!111oneoneone" drek from the other trailer, I'm pretty much done.

This is what happened for me:
I logged into my GMG account, started voting, got seriously pissed off with the glitchy "whoops we have a problem with out internets because we have a shitty website with needlessly poncey voting pages that are putting too much load on our asstastic servers", decided to give up on the voting when it wouldn't accept by vote for Steam for the best platform [besides, any vote that doesn't let me vote for FTL for game of the year doesn't deserve my time and energy] only for it bork and not accept my votes. Several times. Go to email and click the link to vote only to be told that I have to sign in or join the shitty CVG site.
After a walk to burn off some of the irritation [not helped by GAF being borked also; I was soooo close to sending a stroppy email to GAF, demanding a partial refund on my NeoGAF Gold sub] I might try again now. If it doesn't work first time however then they can just fuck off. It's not worth all this hassle just for a free copy of M2 which will just sit in my backlog anyway.
Gotta be in it to win it.
Yeah, playtimes as reported within the client have been on the fritz for about two weeks now.

It's about ten times better than Rogue Legacy though. Stick with it, you'll find the groove.

listen to the mad man
ModBot ain't working.
GAF ain't working well, ModBot is fine.
Oh well they're only giving me trouble because I've only been gaming on a pc for the last four months or so
EDIT - oh and it's the very first one I'm playing. I don't think there's a demo for that on Steam [I playing from a pc disc install] but there should be for the most recent one. This one doesn't have uPlay though so there is the advantage of that
Hey, you are trying to adapt to kb+m control and I'm trying to be a good boy and finally learn wasd in place of arrow control
Not totally satisfying so far, and I wonder if I even can be really good at it : I'm getting used to wasd with far less problem than I thought, but dear god in heaven, my fucking pinky is all over the place. So in a nervous fps that means "you wanted to run here ? Klolbyeloser, enjoy your capslock/left ctrl/whatever".
In Shadow Warrior it could be super annoying during an intense fight.
I'm late to this as I don't have Chrome installed on my PC, but so it does! Must be a Firefox issue, then.
As already said, Ultimate Carnage is more of a new version of FlatOut 2, rather than the sequel. Stil, it's awesome. Funfunfun!
Also, if you haven't played FlatOut1, I strongly recommend it. Maybe it's less polished, but I remember it having a bit different driving model (IIRC kinda less "typical arcade", which I preferred. On the other hand, there are people who like the new one more) and better soundtrack (I think the smaller, even unsigned, garage bands fitted more than the big ones from the sequels).

Finally got into the Family Sharing beta, is there a GAF thread for it, and if not, how do I actually allow others to play games in my library?
Give the person your login details, allow them to log in, and authorize that machine.

Login details, meaning my username/password? Just making sure
Hey, Jase. Lemme tell you a secret: Firefox sucks!
Yes. They have to be able to sign into your account from their machine.

Did you just get the email for this?
I like Chrome in general but I simply can't stand Google's insistence on including search phrases among address bar suggestions in lieu of more history items. It's a deal-breaker as far as I'm concerned.
