Yeah, I also finished this episode today. Like my friend said - an emotional rollercoaster. I can't wait what will happen in the next 2 episodes.

Dr Dogg is the main dog, dawg.
We're not fond of the traffic rules here either.

This choice has little impact on how the story ends, but I think it still matter because
you grow fond of the person you saved, only to be taken away in a brutal way. It wouldn't have worked so well if they hadn't focused on that particular relation during EP2. In TWD the important thing is not how the choices affect the story but the emotional ties you develop as a result of them.
Good or bad news.
Yeah, but the fact that
in the end, none of the choices really branch the story
When you will have finally removed from the streets every single speed radar north of Prague, please PM me, that I've got a cargo lying around waiting to be delivered in Czech Republic.

Yeah it was around that part, but from what I understand guns remain an option compared to melee weapons for the rest of the game exept for the few human enemies, but than again I haven't got past Act 2. I agree with you though, gunplay was pure garbage. Besides, Sam B+Brass knuckles is so damn fun I'd never use a gun instead of that. Uppercuting a zombie, watch his head blow off as his body flies back 10 meters, feels good man.

Thanks for Luxor, JaseC!
That's true.
A friend of mine showed me this chart and, well, you basically see everything on the first playthrough. You change who is going to be the main character of the scene, but not what's going to happen http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/the-walking-dead-graph-by-gamesbeat.jpg
No worries.
[plain]http://www.blahblahblah.com/[/plain]
It will, trust me. Just get through it. I really struggled through the start, but the rest of the game is really great.
Hahaha. Hope this doesn't spark another cats v dogs debate.
No probs. Enjoy!
The Witcher 1 struggled during the start as well, I hope they have learned from their previous games and TW3 will be properly paced.
Yeah, I redid that episode yesterday and
the Computer nerd is a red shirt no matter what
Even if you (future episode spoiler!)
get Ben to actually admit he is the one that did it

Thanks for the game JaseC.
The swamp area in witcher 1 was far more painful (and it certainly didn't help that I'd installed (and forgotten about)a combat rebalance mod for the game which made it far more difficult... W2's swamp-like area was like a summer vacation by comparison.

Is 6.5 million a new Steam record?
Yay I'm an idiot.
Managed to block my Credit Card for real (actually, I cancelled it for security reasons) one week before the big Steam Autumn Sale.
Good thing I can use an alternate payment method on Steam if I really want to buy something (Boleto, in Brazil), which takes like 3 days to fulfill the purchase, but it keeps the value of the sale, so I have a way out...
But I'm an idiot... oh well! Let's hope my new CC arrives before next Friday (which I doubt).

I have been yapping about the game all around this forum but quite similar to Dark Souls, while the game has some issues that most of which Durante fixes, it's still easily my game of the year: Deadly Premonition. I played it for 3,5 hours in a row today, I can't remember last time I did that, maybe with Civ5, but certainly not with any non-mp action game.
Also it was the first time the game didn't crash within 30 minutes, so that's something too! Awesome awesome awesome game, despite all the technical problems.

Oh, and Archeblade isn't bad, from the hour or so I played of it. I don't think it's as deep or involved as the developers' comments made it out to be (to read their description, you'd be forgiven for expecting "DMC Online" when the reality's closer to Power Stone), but for a F2P, team-based melee combat game, it's pretty entertaining. Didn't like the fact that the game starts you with only enough in-game currency to purchase two characters out of the roster to play as, and the amount you get for playing each match means that it'll take ages to unlock more. Will (probably) update with more detailed impressions once I spend some more time with it.
Are the achievements missable, might start on this one.
I should play it someday
< 10 hours in FTL? woo am cry
XCOM @ 0 hours played?! :O Rectify that nao! >:[
Seriously though, they are my top, top games from those I have played so far on Steam so either [or even better, both] would be my recommendation.
I have played 10 hours in FTL, yet I still have no idea what I was doing.
I should start playing XCOM, but there are so many other great games to play.
Anyway, I ended up continue with Botanicula. I probably will finish it soon. I am in level 5 now. So far I like the atmosphere in it

I once tried Civ 5 and suddenly 12 hours gone. Be careful.

Well you came to a decision on what to play so job done
.I faced the same dilemma myself earlier. Steam says I've played FTL for about 80 hours in the last 2 weeks so I think the desire to play something else is forgiveable
. I tried Shelter but that got on my nerves quite a bit. I got to a new area

Started Fortix and once I got into the game really enjoyed it. The tutorial irritated me; I guess I've been spoilt by so many Nintendo games over the years where one is taught the game by playing it. Going back to it soon, just having a break.the first section at night
If tutorials bother you, then you'd love AssCreed 3.

It depends on the tutorial but tacked on tutorials are likely to irritate me. I was in a grumpy mood anyway after stuffing up an FTL run which was looking promising so that didn't help.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
LOL. How much free time do you have? Not because it takes a lot of time to learn how to play, but because the game has this feature called "Infinite Time Sucking Away Mode", and this feature works very well.
Just one more turn...
Half Life 2
Finally played - and finished Half Life 2 (without episodes, waiting for the next sale of course) .
It is a great game. Today it has a handful of flaws, but mostly I can overlook them quite easily. The gravity/physics-game can be in the way of fluid play and feel a bit clunky at times and in later parts of the game, the KI is kinda in my way, which leds to a similar problem.
Still, the game offers a great variety of gameplay with fun level design that balances the linearity&freedom perfectly in my mind for such a shooter. Puzzles were fun, felt just... natural. This is almost my biggest plus for Half Life 2 - the whole game felt natural in its environment.
And lol@the last mission. For one - so now I know where Mass Effect 3 got its final mission from, oh my... And second - dat final gravity-Gun. HOLY SHIT! Speaking about "fun" =)

AssCreed 3 has an 800 hour tutorial that you spend in zones the sizes of shoe boxes with a character that isn't even the main character.
The jokes that AssCreed 3's first several hours are just one big tutorial aren't far from the truth. Black Flag is better in this regard as while it still drip-feeds information, you're given leisure to explore and do your own thing almost from the off, so there isn't a sense that you're being artificially forced to abide by a guiding, overbearing hand. I'm ~20 hours into the game but have only just passed the mission that teaches you how to use the spy glass and plunder ships.
