Started and finished Gone Home today. Not a long game by any means, around 2-3 hours, if you don't rush through things. It was an interesting game to play, can't say I've played one quite like it. It is like looking in to the lives of a family, from an outside perspective. Glad I bought this game in the last sale.

The main difference is that both Minecraft and Don't Starve were considerably less expensive
I bought Don't Starve in the Autumn Sale for five bucks and some change. Between myself, my kids and the wife we've spent about 50 hours with it. I can't believe how much enjoyment we've been able to get out of it so far.
Anyone have any idea what's going on with my downloads? I start 'em, they start at about half what they normally do, then taper off to 0 bytes/s.
I started one of the games in question and hit play, forcing it to download, so it's doing more than that--right now, it's about a third of its normal speed.

think imma make some coffee and play this right now
other reason I aint playing much is cause im probably getting a 40 inch TV around christmas on a p.good deal and I wanna finish Batman Arkham Origins and other stuff in big picture goodness
Well, that's not very smart thing to do. (><)
That came out on Steam this year, didn't it?

Just Cause 2: Multiplayer Mod http://store.steampowered.com/news/12112/
Definitely, Don't Starve's fantastic. It was $12 for two copies in early access, too. I have the feeling I'll be playing a lot more of it than DayZ in the foreseeable future
Yup but steam doesn't count apparently. Meanwhile you're actually allowed to put ports from other years on the list.
Even if it's a game of 2012, I think it should be eligible seeing as hardly anybody played it until 2013, when it was released on steam.

The date a game was released on Steam is all that counts.

He's back! Get him!
I was going to tempt fate and wait for my trader guy to come online, but I just realised I have $1.50 sitting in my Wallet, so I'll buy a copy for myself now. Thanks for the heads-up!
Well, that is just dumb to be honest. If I can include a Steam release of a 1999 PS1 game, I think Euro Truck 2 should be eligible
He always talks out of his ass. Just ignore him.
The reviews are actually a bit mixed on Steam. I can kind of get why, since there isn't much gameplay to speak of. It plays more like an interactive story. I wont go into too much detail, since it's probably better going in blind. But if you enjoy some good story/narrative, you shouldn't be disappointed.

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.
Exactly this. Even Final Fantasy VII is eligible for the SteamGAF GotY voting, despite being released originally in 1997.
yeah but we aint crazy
can I pick it for genre-ruining disaster of the year even tho it was also that in 97

GAF GOTY or SteamGAF GOTY? There's a difference.
Ya, I understand that steamgaf goty might be the one that matters most, it depends if FF7 wins or not!

That's the wrong goty list
But every list that is not that one is the wrong list!
I bought Santa's Rampage the moment I saw it was on Steam, not knowing that my preorder from back in September had provided me with a key for it. Also had a key for the Shadow Warrior mission on there.
I use the community blacklist in hopes that it'll weed out the scummy people that resell Humble Bundle keys in the B/S/T thread. It'd be nice to know exactly who I'm blocking, but it would also take a lot of time to manually put them all on there. Hopefully it doesn't block any of the fine regulars here.
ModBot said:Instructions for participants:

I despise early access games, its gives no accountability what so ever, the dev can take the money and run and you're left with nothing.
Mixing fiances and game development together is very fucking stupid.
Nice giveaway Jbourne, VC is quite an amusing commentary on traditional titles

There is a Community Block list?
It's a bite-size version of VCD featuring Shadow Warrior-themed content.

Anyone thinks Viscera Cleanup are fun? I played the Shadow Warrior for like 40 minutes and "finished" it with both achievements, but seriously...
... I didnt really have fun cleaning. Its nice for a few laughs in the first 5 minutes but after that it gets tedious, like RL-cleaning.

You clean up all the blood and guts you left behind from killing everything in Shadow Warrior. Basically.

I had some fun at the beginning with the cleaning. Some lines were good.
Picking up a torso "I think you have a split personality" was a good one.
Near the finish line it was fucking annoying finding the last nearly invisible blood stain.
Santas Rampage is like 100 times better than VC:Shadow Warrior edition.
Exactly. Can't wait for the full version of VCD. I'm going to pretend it's a sequel to Dead Space.
Yep. Just type BLACKLIST in your list of rules. You have to put your faith in the community, though.

Viscera Cleanup Detail is a simulator game where you play as a person (or persons as the original game had a multiplayer version) who clean-up the aftermath of gory scenes; battles, killings, monster attacks, etc. The game picked up some attention, and it had a episode released for the game Shadow Warrior, who did a collab with the guys who made Viscera Cleanup Detail to make a Shadow Warrior version.
It's not for everyone, but it can be some fun. Its about what it sounds like, a game where you clean-up gory scenes. If you're a fan of weird simulator games, you may like it (I do, but I could definitely understand why some people may find it tedious or boring, as the gameplay is... Well, cleaning).

Yes. There are still people selling keys from the Origin bundle.

Apparently it was supposed to be free too, judging by this video that bills it as "the free remake of the cult game!"

But at least they did deliver on their other promise of "coming this year!"

That's just disappointing. Sad to hear that people do that.
