Not much besides internet drama. Broken Age is looking good, some nice Witcher 3 GIFs, Borderlands + GoT from Telltale and No Man's Sky.
Joel Mchale was given shitty jokes, made that apparent on the live stream, started to go off the prompter, which created some actually funny moments and some awkward ones. Which also meant he started messing up when actually reading the prompter.
In other words, they hired a dude that doesn't care about videogames (fair enough), wrote shitty dialog and terrible rehearsed on-stage banter (this is unacceptable), dude that didn't care about videogames in the first place kinda went off the script and made both funny and kinda offensive jokes.
As far as I know, it was as bad as an Oscar presentation, except it looked worse because whoever was presenting it didn't care enough to not screw up.

They don't have to be, but in the context of that show, it was embarrassing how legit they were trying to make it.
There were brief moments when McHale obviously was impressed, such as when he learned Respawn worked on CoD 1.

Joel McHale is actually the second most trending story on Twitter right now. If you click on the Twitter link, its the whos who of gaming decimating the guy.
I dont think it would have been a problem if the whole show was set-up to be more like a comedy-show.
It was just totally strange, that Geoff was like the good cop, McHale the bad cop in the roles of serious guy/funny-sarcastic guy.
Like if Geoff would have been a bit more open or if McHale would act more serious, it wouldnt be a big problem.
But like this it was kinda surreal to see one guy just being super-serious, while the other guy acts more light-hearted.
You bring up some good points.
He was generally impressed with the No Man's Sky trailer, and by generally impressed I mean speechless.

listen to the mad man
Valve makes enough money to operate the company at its current size in perpetuity without ever releasing another game and because the only people who benefit monetarily from them releasing another game already have more money than they could ever spend, those people aren't going to force things.
I say this to mention that there is absolutely no pressure on them to announce early

So why was this... thing promoted on Steam and even got a special sale?
So I could buy The Stanley Parable for $9.

A good enough reason. Hail the VGX.
Yeah that's understandable. But with that leaked list from reddit in August I thought something was coming soon.Valve makes enough money to operate the company at its current size in perpetuity without ever releasing another game and because the only people who benefit monetarily from them releasing another game already have more money than they could ever spend, those people aren't going to force things.

Dota is keeping me busy in the meantime.

Wasn't it $10 on Steam/Amazon last week?
I'm not sure at all, But the game is fantastic and playable.
It gets extremely intense and you have to keep your wits about you or else you'll get killed like nothing. The feeling of sneaking around these dangerous bots is great.
I It'll be something that I'll be casting regularly
Haven't been following the VGX so sorry if this comes as a bit OT, but fuck the entire ending section of FEAR Perseus Mandate, seriously. From the
/end rant
stupid bullet-spongey boss that can kill you in two shots, to the never ending waves of enemies in the very last level. They don't even bother giving you too much health kits, which totally sucks because you will most likely arrive at the last level just barely alive and with not enough ammo after the stupid boss fight I mentioned previously. I was playing on Hard difficulty btw, so I probably had that coming, but really fuck the last two maps of Perseus Mandate, fuck them fuckity fuck fuck fuck

Weird that we've had games discounted lately but not their DLC. I'd be tempted to pick the Metal Sonic pack up for Sonic & All-Stars but it's full price.

So i went to play Arkham city for the first time, and I see that I have two in my Steam library, Arkham City and Arkham City GOTY, Arkham City (non-GOTY) is already installed, should I delete and install GOTY? I don't understand why I have two entries I believe I only bought 1 version.
I had the thing muted so I'm not the authority on these things...I really wished I had it remuted for this portion...
EDIT: I don't know which is worse....The above, or Bioshock Infinite winning best shooter
I can't wait for the vods of this
the whole POTATO POTATO POTATO was hilarious

Oops, must've missed it. Makes sense if vanilla was $7.50. The way it's set up, I'm not even sure how to do a price check for then
All according to keikaku.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I honestly wonder why people expect much in VGXA to begin with.
So in other words, VGA which is par for the course.
I wonder if the "dudebro" crowd eat that stuff.

I refuse to believe anyone founds vga or vgx entertaining
Stay out of the gaf threads about it, where people are saying they enjoyed the "viral" segments and found them funny.

First release: Left 4 Dead
October 17, 2008
Latest release: Left 4 Dead 2
October 17, 2009
It has been four years already.
You are a dirty liar.
Left 4 Dead 2 was like, a couple months ago... or something.
Yes.
Everyone that bought OG Arkham City With GFWL got GOTY when they removed GFWL from that. They didn't remove it from OG.
This is my dilemma with Skyrim. The base game gets discounted by quite a bit, but the DLC gets a weak discount on top of it. It's been cheaper to buy the legendary edition than to buy the DLC seperately, and that just kind of misses the point.

Hmm interesting, alright I will install GOTY.

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.
Noticed something strange in Final Fantasy VIII. It seems the in-game timer that keeps track of your play time is quite buggy. My in-game time says I've spent about 7 1/2 hours. My Steam game time (and my watch) say it's almost exactly 6 hours.
My only guess is that they put the "standard" loading time between each screen somewhere into that calculation. With my modern PC the loading times are almost non-existent.
Just weird, although I suppose not entirely unexpected of such an old game.

Is there any other publisher not on Steam that has that amount of stuff to throw on there?
I still say someone needs to start a bundle site called "Bundlefly", with Jeff Goldblum as the site mascot/frontman. >.>

I'd be content with them just putting what they do have on sale. I don't think I've ever seen any of it discounted.

gaf still up, I guess no megaton
Not even a regular ton.

GAF was down during most of the VGX.
The megaton was that it was so horrible.
I'd like to see you buy all 2500+ games at once.
Not even you have that kind of budget.

No Man's Sky was the only "megaton" thing for me.

The kickoff times will be in the middle of the night for Europeans so there's a chance GAF survives at least the first two weeks.

I'm pretty sure my husband would kill me. I'd have to sneak them in a few hundred per sale.
Plus, as mentioned above, Big Fish never puts what they already have on Steam on sale, which just makes it worse. I guess their website is so successful that they don't care.
Same here. Well, maybe not even "megaton" but it looked good.
I am so damn tired of the Banderas meme.

:lol wtf

Likewise, and it'll be fascinating to see how they handle development from here on - Kickstart it, attract a couple of million in funding, grow the team and take their time? They may have a queue of publishers forming at their door now, though, perhaps.
What we saw of Thief looked alright to me, too... but I know my expectations are tinged and heightened by nostalgia to a degree. Still a little hard to get a read on the gameplay side of things.
Even I thought that was fairly impressive but being an indie game I have serious concerns about their goals for the game. Is there a relatively deep "game" there or is it just another immersion simulator where you fly around staring at the pretty...everything I guess? Flying around will get boring fast if there's no gamey stuff there.

I definitely saw some space battles in that trailer.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
They said it was a persistent unified online world, so presumably there's going to be a PvP and PvE aspect to it as well. I saw giant worms and space battles.
They also made it sound enormous and procedural, so...Good luck with your launch day performance issues?
