[woo and indeed hoo]

At least you can try to reason an actual meaning from it. The noir should only be taken at face value, one of the characters is only putting on a face, etc.

Titles such as Infinite Undiscovery? They mean nothing!

Well if you're going to completely make up a word that doesn't exist [hint: it's not infinite] then you might as well jam another word in there to come up with something completely stupid. Both words have more than one syllable in them so the gaem must be really deep and meaningful rite

How do you fund this if you don't mind me asking?

Prostitution is legal and quite socially acceptable in Aussieland if the podcast I listened to yesterday is to be believed.

Jase no doubt has a chain of prostitution houses and they all adore him and stay with him because he's so charming.

My friend designed a game called EMPIRE on iOS, and now the studio he worked with is porting it to PC and it's on Greenlight. If anyone's interested: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=192125306

Uh, you're friend with Keith Burgun ? Fuck it I'm changing friends !
More seriously, not sure how Empire would translate on PC, but the iOS version seemed tempting and well received. Will buy, on which platform and when, that's the question.

 

[JaseC]

How do you fund this if you don't mind me asking?

Budgeting. My income isn't anything special: I work crappy hours at a local shop (though I've been looking elsewhere) and I also get a fortnightly student allowance from the government, an additional component of that being an ~$1,100 bonus at the beginning of each semester for books, though I've never paid more than ~$400, so the extra pocket money is nice. It also helps that most of the games I've bought over the past ~9 months have been through traders and I don't really have any hobbies with ongoing costs aside from gaming -- I did amass a bit of a BD collection back when Amazon UK was offering free shipping to Australia, but I haven't bought a single one since the promotion ended almost two years ago in hope of it returning (meaning, yes, my BD library has gaps in Saoirse Ronan's filmography, but I've been meaning to fix that).

I'm tweaking the continuous scrolling so that the number of results actually de-increments to show exactly how many results are there.

Ah, fantastic!

 

[sprinkles]

It's manageable, I had less trouble with it than with SMB. The checkpoints are frequent enough but of course you need some patience. Great game imo.

Yes, it has maybe three or four really hard passages, the rest is still challenging but not on the level of SMB or They Bleed Pixels. Still around four hours of good platforming with great music

That is seriously impressive budgeting.

 

[SonicXtreme]

so walmart.com was selling monitors for $10 and nobody cross posted that info here <_<? man, i really need to get out of the habit of just reading my subscribed threads lol!

 

[Chance Hale]

Ugh, don't bring that silliness into this thread. I'm trying to forget my poor luck.

 

[JaseC]

That is seriously impressive budgeting.

I'll have to slow down quite a bit if I end up moving next year and haven't found a better part-time job. The Winter Sale might be my last hurrah for a while, which is why I intend to focus on picking up licensed stuff.

I went to bed before the monitor/TV explosion, but I did order the new Pokemon. I'm getting worried since they haven't notified me to come pick it up yet.

 

[MMBosstones86]

that's probably good, you own damn near 80% of the steam catalog anyway...

I doubt they'll honor these goof ups. Too widespread.

Shelter is a fantastic experience by the way.

No wonder there's a hairdresser shortage. Well it seams like it due to it's a guaranteed ticket to get a visa.

Let's see...

Couple of freebies - enjoy!

Thanks!

Haha, I doubt I'll have the spare cash to go as nuts as I did during the Summer Sale, but we'll see. On the plus side, Christmas is going to be small this year, which is good because it was bloody expensive last year -- I didn't buy much on Steam for the last few months and even had to skip a bunch of bundles.

 

[okayfrog]

Hey jshackles, makeusof.com did an article on Enhanced Steam http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/6-ways-enhanced-steam-makes-valves-steam-store-even-better/

Half of those I really like and could see Valve using: Game and DLC Color-Coding, HowLongToBeat Info, and No More Age Verification Prompts

The rest I really like as well, but I can't see Valve implementing them due to the fact that they benefit the consumer without really benefiting Valve in any way.

 

[louiedog]

So Anomaly Warzone Earth Mobile Campaign and Korea are now on Steam. I wonder if we'll get keys from Humble.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Time to idle in all of those games to get and sell cards to fund the push to 2500 then.

Valve is legally required to age-gate store pages with mature content, IIRC.

Good idea! I've saved all my cards up until now because I had intended to max out a badge every week or so, but needless to say that didn't happen.

Edit: Well, I sold my foils, of course, though I haven't earned one since the Summer Sale. I'd intended to pay for Thi4f using foil money but that's panned out horribly so far.

 

[Reckoner]

Has anyone here already played Chivalry's DLC, Deadliest Warrior? What are the impressions?

 

[louiedog]

Valve is legally required to age-gate store pages with mature content, IIRC.

I don't believe they're legally required to, at least not in the US, but it's more of a compliance issue with the ESRB.

 

[Freezard]

Somehow I have 2£ on my GMG balance and I have no clue how it got there. Sure I've bought some games but that was with PayPal. Maybe I should get Darksiders II.

 

[honorless]

Looks insanely boring. Either the game is just clicking falling pills over and over or they need to cut a better trailer.

No, that's really all there is to it.
...Well, I guess there's a mode that changes it into some kind of scrolling shooter instead of Pill Ninjas, but outside of that...

Did you review a few games? They compensate you for that.

 

[Copons]

Probably LTTP but

 

[wetflame]

Thanks for Hydrophobia, Faux!

Ah, I was close!

 

[Echoplx]

New Sins Rebellion DLC incoming

http://steamdb.info/app/255910/

 

[Sendou]

I really like the Steam OS logo font.

 

[Grief.exe]

Probably LTTP but

I did not know Project Cars was coming out on all those consoles, I thought it was just going to be a PC-only game.

The WiiU seems like a strange choice.

 

[Freezard]

Did you review a few games? They compensate you for that.

I have not (only on Steam). I just logged in and saw I've only bought two games there, and I got an e-mail recently where they said my balance was 2£. Well, not complaining

 

[JaseC]

I really like the Steam OS logo font.

The space is weird, though. It'd look better as "SteamOS".

 

[NingenJanai]

I did not know Project Cars was coming out on all those consoles, I thought it was just going to be a PC-only game.

The WiiU seems like a strange choice.

Wasn't wii u a kickstarter bonus goal? Might be wrong.

 

[Seanspeed]

Probably LTTP but

They were asking people about it, trying to get some feedback and I guess they've decided to go ahead with it.

I really, really hope this doesn't delay the release of the PC version, though. Feels like this game has been in development forever. I'm dying for a good sim racer with some eye candy.

 

[Tagyhag]

I did not know Project Cars was coming out on all those consoles, I thought it was just going to be a PC-only game.

The WiiU seems like a strange choice.

It used to be PC and Wii-U only (Yeah) but the PS4/X1 are new.

 

[Copons]

I really like the Steam OS logo font.

I was talking about that just like 10 seconds ago, because nice or not, it seemed a bit off to me.

And in fact...

It's totally not the same!

 

[morningbus]

The space is weird, though. It'd look better as "SteamOS".

Yeah, but then you might as well just put up this graphic instead:

 

[okayfrog]

Probably LTTP but

That Steam OS logo is too long. Gotta be a way to shorten it.

 

[Sendou]

I thought it was supposed to come to PS3 and 360 at one point but obviously there's not much point when you're releasing Fall 2014.

 

[Dynoro]

I did not know Project Cars was coming out on all those consoles, I thought it was just going to be a PC-only game.

The WiiU seems like a strange choice.

WiiU was always there but the next gen consoles are due to a recent vote on the site. As an aside; Project Cars has been on Steam for the last few months but for backers only.

 

[Copons]

That Steam OS logo is too long. Gotta be a way to shorten it.

Yup!

They used another random sans-serif font (probably because Valve still hasn't sent an official design kit to devs?).



EDIT: btw my itshappening.gif was for the probably first official use of the SteamOS logo, who gives a shit about WiiU?

 

[The_Monk]

I really, really hope this doesn't delay the release of the PC version, though. Feels like this game has been in development forever. I'm dying for a good sim racer with some eye candy.

You and me fellow GAFfer, but this game seems to be quite demanding so I'm not sure how well can it run on weaker hardware but let's hope for the best. A PS4 version is a nice fit, Wii U in this game? No way in my honest opinion.

 

[Leon Belmont]

That Steam OS logo is too long. Gotta be a way to shorten it.

What about SOS lol

I even went for all the stars which was a nice challenge, took me 8hrs and it's funny how easy some once super difficult parts become. The rest of the achievements though? Madness.
