PSA: I wont be updating the sales OT daily on time tbh, at least I dont think so

reasons:

1) work

2) you cunts dont read it, ever.

I'll probably still put the current sales when I get home (bout 3 hours after they go live)

not that you cunts care cause you dont read it

cunts.
 
Pinball Arcade: Season Three is out http://store.steampowered.com/app/238260/ but it includes tables that will be released in 2014.
When I was a kid going to an arcade, the pinball tables were probably the least interesting thing there; getting Sonic Spinball one Christmas also didn't help my perception of pinball in general. It wasn't until I tried out Devil's Crush many years later that I actually had some fun with it, but that was purely a video game. Watching Classic Game Room lately though has had me more interested in playing pinball in general so once Pinball FX hit Steam I bought a few of those Marvel tables, because hey, I like Marvel so the appeal is already there.

I enjoyed it, but then I gave Pinball Arcade a try once that hit Steam. Man, I really don't want to touch FX again after playing it, the physics and sound design just feels so spot on. Haven't actually bought any tables yet but I've been dabbling in the trials so far, and they seemed to throw us a solid by making the bundled free table one of the better ones available. Once TF2 keys plummet on the marketplace during the sale I think I'll do some Russian dealings to get discounted table packs. Black Hole is super simple but man is it fun.

Holy shit -28! :eek:

We barely get to -3° in Rome in like the coldest winter night of the year, we're around +5° now and when I got back home today I was cursing everything for how much it was freezing out there.
How the hell do you live at -28?


Also, I'm always on the verge of sending curricula to Canada to run away from here, but I'm always blocked by the weather, as I don't think there's enough warm stuff in my wardrobe to manage that cold, even if I wear everything at once. :D

-28 is nothing. Before leaving Winnipeg, I'd experienced -40 several times, and once almost -60 with windchill. A lot of people say that after -20 or so temperature doesn't matter, but I've always felt like there's another threshold around -35. At that point, it hurts to even breathe. At -40, any exposed skin freezes and dies in about four minutes.

As for how you live, you stay inside. If you're going somewhere, you start your car half an hour before you leave so that it's warm enough to be inside. If you're lucky enough to be downtown, most places you need to get to are connected by tunnels most of the way.

The crazy thing? In the summer, the temperature is frequently in the low 30s, sometimes higher.

Hi Everyone -- thanks for the feedback, we'll begin working on this feature now!

"We need a global option for downloading while playing, then we can uncheck if we gonna play a multiplayer game"


Pretty cool that Valve listens like that. Some valve rep responded to a suggestion on the forums.

Just tell me that the banner will be all lovely and stuff. Where's the seasonal tease? Just crop me off a jpeg or something. Show some leg!

Quit your job man.

Fixed. I can see through your lies.

Return of the Steam Sale Curse is most likely going to happen :(

We read it, just not the OP.

Burn.

The reason why I don't reveal who is on the community blacklist is basically because I don't want there to be drama about it. ModBot uses an algorithm to determine who has been sufficiently blocked by others to be blocked by the community list. I don't ask questions. I will say that I've looked at the list of people being blocked, and the people who are regularly blocked are definitely people where it doesn't surprise me that someone would have moved to block them, based either on attitude or the way they use ModBot. And very few people use the blocks.

Oh, I don't blame you. It would be pointless drama. Knowing that the list of people being blocked is reasonable is all I need to know.

Been like this for a long time, I think something is wrong with the fan or heat sink (probably dust). I should clean it someday, but I'm too lazy.

Are you going to Venezuela?

Oh man, I just finished that game on the weekend. If there was ever one game I wish was made by a competent studio, that would be it. It hit all the right notes of an action game and with a stylish aesthetic. But the mechanics just couldn't carry it. Arena sections taking forever because you spend all your time in slow mo with the constant tedium of the gun sound effects. Oh and that freeway with the bikers drove me insane, the most awful part in the game.

Good music though.

Well now that you've beat it, try Golden Bullet since it's unlocked. One hit kills take out all of those issues, ESPECIALLY the bike section which on any other difficulty has to be one of the worst non-broken-technically stage I've ever played in gaming.

listen to the mad man
Kabouter contacted the publisher behind Darkest of Days to implore them to put it on sale during the Steam sale. They wrote back to him to explain that they'd love to, but it's out of their hands as their "owner has signed a new agreement". I have no idea what that means, but I'd take it as a confirmation that it won't be a daily deal but also that if it's a game you want to own and never bothered to buy, that it is a delisting risk.

The developer now sells engine tech independently, and the publisher now sells casino and gambling software. Again, red flags.

That really sucks. I wish IP's would stay on the hands of the devs.

I hope the whalelike taco cat is also going with you. And I use "whalelike" as a term of endearment, not belittlement.

Darkest of Days hasn't been on sale in almost 18 months. I think it's safe to say that the agreement was signed a long time ago and won't impact the game's presence on the store.

it's funny how ubi games just grab you with the offer of upgrades for weapons you don't use in exchange for repetitive stuff you don't want to do

I'm surprised how unless specifically avoiding it, I'm falling for it

That mario kart thread reminded me that Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed came out on PC in January! *Adds to goty list. Let's see you take that one away from me Gaf!

Are they allowing that? If I can't count PC releases I haven't played 10 2013 releases, lol.

I could include RE6...and place it near the bottom, haha

...wait, what? You actually like Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed?

Clearly the end times are upon us. Hold on while I go check to see if the earth didn't just flip off its axis or a giant meteor isn't about to make us all extinct or something.

Oh shit I forgot that came out this year too. I might put that bottom of the list, I really enjoyed most of that game surprisingly. Ada's campaign was atrocious though.

Tellaerin said:

The better question would be who in their right doesn't like that game? It's the best kart racer since MK 64 and diddy kong racing. Tougher than both of those too.

Yeah. I always play with my brother in local co-op, which probably make it as enjoyable as possible. But a lot of average or bad games can be made enjoyable in that manner.

Yeah. I'm downloading that as well. I haven't played it in forever, and not since quitting the gaming laptop. Excited to play it on an actual computer.

I wonder if my Season 1 + 400 days save is intact

it better be

also I hope there's some sort of recap

not that I need it that much but it'd be nice, to remember some of the decisions
 
Man, fuck the Abandoned Mines in Ys 1. For an action-rpg that's literally only hours long, we're talking four to five hours and you're completely maxed out at level 10, Ys 1 can be kind of obtuse and frustrating, especially the bosses. Like the one in the Abandoned Mine.

I'm fine with TWD2 not unlocking at midnight, I'm waiting until the Steam Sale in two days.

I also have no work tomorrow.

I almost waited on it but honestly half the game is playing it in real time and discussing what's gonna happen next after each episode
