I got this when it was on sale over the Thanksgiving holiday and I just completed it for the first time. I have to say, it is not often you see a video game tackling such mature subject matter. The game play itself is fairly simple and easy, a mix of platforming and puzzle solving. The soundtrack for the game is quite good, I found myself really enjoying it and it added nicely to the game play. The game isn't very long as it only takes a few hours to beat it, and after you have beaten it there is an option to replay it to gather hats for the main character. If you have it I'd recommend a play through. I'm going to spoiler this next part in case someone isn't familiar with the themes present in the game and wishes to go in blind.
The game deals with an abusive father whose drug of choice is alcohol. As the game progresses the monster becomes more and more of a burden. This game had a rather profound affect on me as I too had to deal with an abusive alcoholic parent. One other thing, I let my sons play through the game as well. After they had finished I sat down with them and explained my personal experiences with this and I feel it was a good way for me to approach the subject matter with them. Sorry for all the personal crap here, sometimes things just need to be said.

I grabbed it when it was a dollar on indiegamestand and am looking forward to playing it.
Mainly because of the theme's in which you presented. While I was never affected by such it, that sort of subject matter is interesting to handle especially in a game.
I think it's good you were able to get something out of the game and in return use it as a bit of a learning tool for your children.

Closure --MB-873EFD08ED69241B- Taken by Fuu
It is one of my favorite genres.
well, that sucks. Guess I shouldn't install TS2014 that I bought for $10 and was all hot and bothered to ride the CHOO-CHOOs for.

If you were all hot for it, give it a try, no harm done there, try to get your money's worth of fun out of it.

There is a bit of charm to it. Since for the most part when playing them you can feel they were trying their best.
I'm slightly angry that the one rail-line I wanted to ride (San Diego) isn't included in the based/"Steam edition" game. Add in that apparently the Steam edition WANTS you to buy DLC for scenarios included in the base game, and eep.
I wish I had known when it was on the flash sale and I bought it then. Otherwise I would've skipped over it.
Low price, but not low enough for me yet XCOM Declassified.
Thanks, Hesemonni. Closure looks pretty creative, I had it wishlisted since I missed the HB that included it.
That's a great story. You should pass your experience with the game back to the developer.
here's a question
We know that the % off on the sales will be the same in both the autumn and winter sales
but do we know if
a) some games that didn't go on a daily/flash in autumn may go on sale during winter?
b) games that came out between the two, such as starbound, would have a possibility of going on sale?

Pretty sure all we know is from that leaked email so your interpretation is about as good as the next person.

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.
So bought.

Basic Steam question:
Is there a way to determine which game in your library will be the Steam Client's default highlighted selection each time it opens?

We don't know anything, but since the winter sale lasts a lot longer, it makes sense more games will go on daily/flash.
What is High Moon up to these days?
Why would it matter that he did those challenge maps? So he can prove he has big cajones?
This is why I just can't comprehend why a developer/publisher would completely half-ass their backgrounds.
You could make some serious money. The good backgrounds sell for $5-$10 a pop and you make a cut off of each sale.
I guess for a huge publisher this would be a drop in the bucket. See: Sleeping Dogs backgrounds and badges, probably one of the worst examples.
Oh my god, they added a feature to make drawing spells less of a hassle.
New giveaway for a new page. Still have the showdown effect available from a previous giveaway.... http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=92510554&postcount=7554
This will finish all the keys I have left. I'd love to give away system shock 2, but I accidentally bought it for myself from the humble store and can only redeem directly to a steam account. Oh well.

Final Fantasy VIII - no mention of needing a Square Enix account. I wonder if it's required like 7 was, or if it's purely Steam DRM?
Also really excited about the achievements. Totally going to 100% this one.

Awesome grabbed Superbrothers.
That's the second game I have gotten from you.
I'll be throwing up some keys in a bit to make up for that.
You think they learned their lesson? I don't know...

I'm skeptical. But either way, I'll play it.

Anyway hahaha at the achievements.

You know, I never would have thought of that. Thanks, I think I will.
I tried taking it a while ago, but no dice. Maybe something's up?
Of all FF games, this needs cards.Beautiful.
EDIT: Damn, no cards.

Thanks for Crayon Physics, looking forward to playing this with my 5 year old son
Sales mean a lot to developers, but I would wager that hearing how their game touched someone and helped spread that kind of message would mean a lot more.
I hope it happens as well, but Square has only been doing Final Fantasy games that previously had PC ports.
Because of the way the nuked code works, it actually edited the original posting of the code instead of the repost. The code was taken already.
Cool. Share the wealth.
After many attempts, I finally got the Low Scorer achievement in Spelunky so now that I got that out of the way I can enjoy the game again and start my hell and back playthrough.
Spelunky is already my 3rd most played game on steam, it will probably get to 2nd place, but it's going to be tough fight between Spelunky and Killing Floor. Binding of Isaac still on top.

So I upped over the average for that WB bundle a while ago partially because I was interested in that Guardians of Middle Earth MOBA game. I've not played any MOBAs before, but I was interested because it sounded simplified (don't really have the time to learn DOTA), designed for a gamepad as my PC is hooked up in my living room, and I like the Lord of the Rings setting. After tooling around with it for a little while it does honestly seem like a game that I could enjoy, it's crazy dead online, which is a bit of a bummer for me. I'd hoped that the Humble Bundle might have brought in a new wave of players, but I've still never had a match yet with more than two other humans. Not feeling too bad since I still had an hour or two of fun messing around with bot matches, but a bit disappointed that I never actually was able to give it a shot with a full human match or two.
Thanks friend. Seriously late to the party on this one!
Green Man Gaming has Final Fantasy VIII as a Steam key and it works with the 20% off voucher GMG20-CV2W4-DSYBT bringing the game to $9.60.
