You know I played both Half-Life and Half-Life 2 so long ago that I don't even remember what the hell those games are about. I just have vague recollections.
 
Anyone else see the vanishing of ethan carter screens that have made it to the net? This game looks so promising, screens are easily just as good as the concept art from last year. Excited about this one:

"...It's less about pure terror and more about clammy unease."

I don't know what that means but, sure, I'm down. I just hope they don't mean eleven months when they say, "it's a question of months, however, not years."

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.
About La-Mulana: is it normal to get lost a lot and don't know what to do?
Yes, it is. It was pretty much designed to be that kind of game.

If you start getting frustrated, don't feel bad about consulting a walkthrough.
 
Tried to play La Mulana earlier, checked the controls before I started, then immediately forgot them. Kept getting emails from the guy and couldn't remember how to check them. I'll have to give it another shot later.

Their first game is a tale of survival in a modern academic environment. The second game examines the survival of academics taken from said environment.

Hahah I know, I would love to see this by spring, but we'll see. I think they're working as a fairly small team (8 people last time I saw it quoted), so to get it up to that quality, I guess will take awhile. I read this interview awhile back that was good, too, and includes the prequel comic strip they did. I love Mike Mignola's work in comics, who cribs heavily from lovecraft, and I love some stephen king, so it's exciting to see a game like thing coming out.

I recommend Jamestown for shmup lovers. It's a great game, I have clocked around 50 hours in this game

This. Even I'm not being a fan of shumps, something in this game makes me addicted (despite some brutally hard bonus stages xD)

Thanks. I was a little worried thinking I could be missing something, I think I'm playing it right searching and scanning everything looking for secret passages.

Jamestown is the real deal. Walks a really nice balance between bullet hell and reaction-based shmups. I dig it.

edit: YAY a foil. If I manage to sell it then La Mulana paid for itself.

The Don't Starve offer was only valid for people who ordered while the game was still in alpha/beta. Incognita's is the same. The situations aren't comparable, and if you wanted DS now you'd pay $15 for it.

Valdis Story is complete, much like Spelunky, Ironclad Tactics and Foul Play which are the same price. I get that you're a trader so you're used to paying like $5 for the Russian versions of games, but $15 is not a crazy unusually high price point for a game with a lot of hand-animated non-pixel 2D.

It's not only those two, what about games like terraria, papers please, volgarr, etc (all of them 10$). There are numerous examples of wonderful games that came out at reasonable price (and by companies who have made quality games before). 15$ for a game by two people sitting at home who have never made a game before in their life seems a little bit ridiculous.

Thanks, I'll read the entire interview later. The first few questions lead me to believe it's a Dear Esther kind of game, though with more control. Interesting stuff.

I've gotten well over 200 cards now and STILL NOT ONE FOIL. This is so unfair. I demand more free money than I've gotten.

This is my third but I have no idea how many cards I've gotten so far. I think over 200 because I had to register with Steam for taxes.

edit: did anyone mention that the Ms.Splosion Man Pinball FX table is now on sale too?
