It's been out for about 6 months I think maybe longer. It's alright if you like the original Eight Pages game.

It's not a great game, but it's has it's moments. Here's one of my favorite parts:
The Tale of Nuckelavee (Spoilerish)

Thanks for capsized, modbot sent me six replies. Really wanted me to get some of dat sex.

I was in the same boat. I got Skullgirls and the learning curve is definitely there, but there's a very comprehensive tutorial and I did manage to squeeze some enjoyment out of the single player... once I dropped the difficulty down to Sleepwalk. (I was fine fighting all the battles on Normal until I hit the final boss, and then OMGWTFBBQ dead.) If you work through some of the more difficult tutorials, you start to get a handle on what it is you need to do to win at higher difficulties.
So basically, fun to play, and it does about as much as any fighting game can to bring you into the fold, but maybe wait for a sale before you jump in. If you're willing to put in the work, Skullgirls offers you quite a bit of help to get better. Oh, one other major caveat: you're going to need a controller. Preferably one with six face buttons, I tried using a Dualshock and it just wasn't the same.

Maybe they'll have an upgrade path. Maybe not because WB sucks.
<-stuck on the non-GOTY AC.
*tips fedora*
Got an email saying that Slender The Arrival is coming to steam on Halloween.
you snitch lol
Probably do what 2K did with Bioshock 2. People are upgraded to the GOTY versions of AC and AA if they have owned them previously.
There is no way for Warner to prove whether you have purchased that DLC through the GFWL store or not. This would also rationalize why the vanilla AA/AC apps haven't been touched at all, while both GOTY editions are seeing massive amounts of updates.
I found the bards tale to be a bit of a drag about half way through, the humor sort of gives way to general gameplay which itself starts to suffer a few problems. Mostly it feels like they could never decide who should be more powerful, the player or the summons, which ends up leaving both feeling a bit underpowered. As the player you spend your time running around trying not to take hits and resummoning your creatures, many of which by the end game tend to die pretty fast themselves.
On the positive side it's certainly unique enough to give a chance.

It kind of is. I've been slacking on writing out my whole thoughts on it but to sum it up: Game starts off promising and then for the remainder it becomes an unfun slog where you fight against an RNG that would much rather have you waste time getting caught unfairly then actually providing any sense of challenge to overcome.
The secret level + ending they added in the second patch was far better than the entire game.

lol, so Valve have abandoned Dota now?

What makes you say that?

It is one of those games that just manages to rise above the sum of its parts.
The comedy isn't quite funny enough to sustain the game, but it has its moments. The action gets repetitive and offers nothing really new (for the platform, different matter on steam).
But together? It drives you through to the end and it a decent enough game. I'd recommend the Bard's Tale, especially since the superior Baldur's Gate (the ARPG) never seems likely to make its way to PC.

Just been reading comments on Cyborgmatts' blog and other Dota related news recently and all I see is "dead game", "fucking hats, where are our heroes?", "I'm switching to LoL", "in be4 Valve defense force" etc ... lol
I remember one gaffer also kept saying this in a recent thread, they weren't so extreme though

Every week techies is not a hero, valve is digging dota's grave
dead game is a meme, the last update was a whole two weeks ago

That's because the latest updates have been >300mb with just cosmetics, and few minors fixes.
There's no gonna be anything new until Halloween.

I take it Techies is the most popular hero?
I really should jump into Dota for real. Was spectating lots of games during summer, have yet to play a normal game :/
so it's all fans fooling around?

I though it was a pretty impressive improvement over the original Slender game. The ending sucks though.

Still no news on a DOTA 2 mapeditor? I want mah old WC3-maps
didn't know those were on pc
that's the one
for some reason I always forget its name, this has been like the fourth time this year I reminisced about that game
That's not a prediction, that's a fact.
Also, Robin Hood for Cary Elwes? As you wish, I guess...
They were. I hacked the hell out of them back then.
Fun times.

All I know is I was pretty shocked when my brother said the Kevin Costner version is the best Robin Hood movie of all time.
Resident Evil 6 Wallpaper DLC just added to the registry...
Free with base game as far as I can tell.

C'mon Valve, both Origin and Uplay have twitch integration
Stump did say the other day that the timing might be off some.
Something to do with where the server is located.
It's not the first one that does that today.

ModBot is testing his new time machine.
I thought I'd post my Leviathan: The Last Day of the Decade impressions here, but decided to make a new thread instead: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=86174767. I dunno, it just feels like this game doesn't get the attention it probably deserves.
What I dislike in all these programs is that I'm an organized person. This means I like to get everything regarding one thing (Books, games, etc) in one place.
Steam is my main place to go for the Digital version of my games but I can't help but wonder that some people in order to play all their games, they need a Steam account, Origin account, GFWL account, Uplay account (perhaps others).
And this is what I dislike the most, it feels great to open one program and there you go, everything you want to play is there. All my clothes are in my wardrobe, if I'm not sure what to wear I might open it up and browse the selection I have and then choose. I would really dislike if I had to go check my bathroom, behind the bed and in the Living room because that's too, where my clothes are (disregard any bad grammar, I tend to write poorly when I make longer posts fellow GAFfers).

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but Gamefly has Resident Evil Revelations for $9.99 after 20% code GFDOCT20
http://digital.gamefly.com/#!/download-resident-evil-revelations/5005700
Activates on Steam.

Uh, I'm having a weird issue with Dark Souls.
I can't take Steam's screenshots with F12 anymore (until yesterday everything worked fine), just nothing happens when I press it.
I've already tried:
- to change the key in Steam settings;
- to change both resolutions in DSfix (as suggested somewhere);
- to change screenshot folder in DSfix;
- to change some key binding screenshot-related in DSfixKeys.ini;
- to reinstall DSfix;
- to restart Steam;
- turning PC off and on again.
Reading around, I believe the problem may be a regedit change I made yesterday to fix the "Steam is running in compatibility mode bla bla bla" popup that showed when I launched Big Picture.
Basically, I deleted registry keys of steam.exe with "elevatecreateprocess" flag somewhere in regedit, as suggested by a Valve guy in Steam forum.
Then, a couple of minutes ago I discovered that in some cases, if the game has a "higher level" than Steam.exe (and consequently GameOverlayUI.exe) it may happen that Steam isn't able to take screenshots of the game.
I tried a couple of other games and there it works no problem.
Then I tried running Steam as admin: nothing. I even tried to recreate the registry key with "elevatecreateprocess", but still nothing.
Someone knows what's going on?
Considering the beautifulness of DS, it would be a pity playing it without being able to always take pictures.
(Also I'ma social bitch so I like sharing them as soon as I take them )

Thanks for Worms, Parsnip - I will try to do just that (haven't played a Worms title in... years!). Thanks mate.
Single entry for everything? I think modbot is broken.

Yeah, but twitch has Steam Intergration!
