So I guess this means no Lost Planet day?
It says until the 14th, but that's Monday. It will end at 1pm Monday, right? Right?
Bummer :(

I picked up Deathsmiles on a whim when it released a few years ago and fell in love with Cave shooters.

Is there anything like this on Steam?

Since Papers, Please, Guacamelee and Spelunky releases the same day, I wonder if we will get a deal on Spelunky and Guacamelee very soon?

But arent these games gonna shut down when GFWL goes under in a few months? Or do they work fine with no gfwl connection?

Outside of the online, they'll be fine to play offline. The major worry is the DRM itself than the (possibly dead anyway) online.

So what is the worry with the drm shutting down? I mean if single player can be played fine without a gfwl connection then it shouldnt matter when the service shuts down right?

That's strange, it popped up for me and showed 1 of 1 plus the time when the achievement was unlocked. But now the stat page looks like yours.

Yeah, so annoying.

However, it is exactly the spirit of the Stanley Parable: "hey, look, you got an achievement for bringing this cup of coffee and pouring it in the basket, good job, get this useless achievement", and then, you get no achievement, because this game is art, it only has an achievement to play with the trope. So good.

Right. But installing it in the future is the worry.
 
I picked up Dark Void Zero, seems like the only thing worth only that Capcom has put out on Steam (other than Bionic Commando Rearmed, which I already have).

I played this when it came out on DS and it was neat, will be nice to redo it some time with achievements.

Is Dead Rising 2 worth getting?

Do you like being a cross-dressing 40-year-old man that's covered wars, ya know!? and killing zombies wearing Servbot masks with a samurai sword?

No?

Then you hate fun.

Steam client shows that I have played games many times more than I actually have.
For example games that I have played under a hour now show 6 hours, games I've played for 6 hours are now 12 hours.

What is happening?
Community still shows correct times.

There's been a glitch recently. Happening to many people. Your data is safe.

I think I might finally play this game (or Minerva's Den at least). We're playing the first Bioshock for a College seminar, but I don't really feel like going through it again since I've played it so many times. B2 should at least be a nice point of conversation.

Come on, it's only $5

I played through it twice on both the 360 and PC. Capcom's pretty good with PC ports I've ran all their games well on an older system. Except for OTR that one needs a bit of fiddling with settings and definitely needed better optimization.

A complete run through is 8 hours plus you'll likely do another run through it.
