Unless the game was rewritten and is no longer GameMaker-based, this probably hasn't changed. (I know this happened for the Vita version, but I don't know if any of that work made it back to PC.)
...The DLC doesn't appear to be discounted. :/
Indeed. If anyone was eyeing Ittle Dew for $5, I'll note that you've still got about three hours to pick it up for $3.50 in the Flying Bundle.
...I can see Turfster off in the corner, quietly fuming.
(People yelled at him last week for reserving lines in his daily deal post for the weekly deals when they weren't entirely up yet, hence him just posting the link this time.)
Thanks for the heads up, picked it up from there!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Nothing personal intended, I assure you.
The death of GFWL is the most buzz there has ever been around the service, so there is good reason for people to have questions and concerns.

Anyone know what the unused app 200269 thing is when you try to download Batman Arkham City?

Your new items: 50% OFF Foul Play 50% OFF Omerta
Anyone interested? I bought FP for -33% and played through with a friend, it gets a little repetitive as there aren't enough special moves and you don't need different tactis for different enemies but it wasn't bad. Certainly worth it for half off (or more, voucher works with the 2pack).

Has anyone here played Monaco? It looks pretty cool
It's amazing, and it's even more fun with 4 players.
Monaco: got a 4-pack a few months ago and played it with some friends, it was pretty fun. It's not very difficult, but there are some tricky parts and having to bail out your whole squad by yourself does require some clutch play, which is always exciting and funny. Nothing especially brilliant, though, and it's mainly memorable because we played it together while voice chatting.
I wasn't entirely sold on Monaco when I played it a little earlier in the year.
Not that's it's particularly bad or anything, and I should mention that I was soloing it and that might explain that.
But while the early levels are easy-normal and offered me some stealth joy, the game take a turns for the 'what the fuck will I do if not shoot everybody like a madman and lose any hope for stealth' mid-point.
So maybe I'm bad, maybe the game is really to be played multi, but that 'how the hell can I stealth this thing ?' burned me out on the game.
Should retry it.

Monaco is really a game that begs for you to have a full 4 player party. VOIP or same-couch is a must. Things happen way too quickly for it to be anywhere near as fun without hearing the screams of your pickpocket who turned the wrong corner and just alerted the entire building.
Single player really misses out on this aspect. While the levels are able to be approached different ways for different classes, its almost too mechanical compared to multi to really be enjoyable. Looking forward to checking out the new update later this week.

I disappear for a week and all the fun happens while I'm gone. I'm never leaving you guys again, I swear!
until I'm done with Poke Y and Ace Attorney Investigations so I can buy -and play- AA5, that is

you must be stopped.
2K just gets me.
Edit: Come to think of it, I haven't done much double-dipping: just Dishonored and Football Manager 2012.

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.
Thanks! I can't believe I won Chaos on Deponia. Paying it forward:

Monaco is also discounted on the Humble Store, which makes it a lot cheaper for non-US people. (6$/4.4 vs 5.59) You also get a DRM-free copy.

It would mean clicking 600 times for 20. I am not doing this. Maybe one day if I need the money.
Sorry if old, but Tetrobot and Co. had a bad first week.
The comparison might be unfair because Tetrobot was released directly on Steam while Blocks That Matter was first released on Xbox.

Now I know what I'm playing this Halloween, thanks jshackles!
Yes and no, respectively. You can try looking for giftable copies of Outrun on trading sites like TF2 Outpost and Steam Trades, but expect to pay through the nose.
Thanks for Garshasp! Now to see if it is indeed better than God of War.

Thx, I hope I don't need to have played the first Garshasp to understand the "Mythology based story". [...] Oh it's a prequel. Perfect.
Argh, same here.. sucks that I only have $20 until next month
Gonna suck missing out on the Halloween sale too!

Looks like the Killing Floor Halloween update is coming very soon due to the new achievements.

And it'll get a new map. Good old and always reliable KF. Installing again...
The new release is a remake and the developer is a two-man team, so the Mac version trailing behind is understandable.
Great to see another halloween event for KF Tripwire Interactive never disappoints, although they do charge big money for their non-free DLC. It's annoying to never get that 100% achievements though since there's always new coming lol, I'm currently missing three-four, one that was only obtainable during an event.
EDIT: 929 hours played, doubt I'll ever reach 1000 though since I'm only playing the game during the events nowadays, not all day and night like I used to. It's just not the same game anymore with all the new stuff unfortunately.

It's also worth noting that Blocks that Matter was not released on XBLA, it was release on Xbox Live Indies which basically does not exist anymore, so any cross-game comparison that gets multiple platforms involved is going to be weird.
