PAYDAY: The Heist is currently downloading the update with the new L4D-mission. Can't wait, hope it will get a few more people playing again.
GAF sole me on getting Divine Divinity during the sale, and the few minutes I played I could tell it would be something I'd love. Should I interested in Divinity 2 in the same way?
Stupid endless waves of bullshit.
On the subject of badges, my wild guess is that a rewards system will be announced alongside that of badges being awarded for playing Steamworks achievement-enabled games.
The image is from Byzantium! It was announced yesterday that the film is to premiere at TIFF, in a couple of months. I was actually going to fly over to attend -- you know, make a holiday of it -- but a while ago I realised I won't have the money. Salt, meet wound.

Ah, I hope a system like that comes in too, it would make Steam a little more interesting.
Ohh that's Saoirse also? I only found out about her from your other avatar but she's awesome. Sorry to hear you couldn't go.
I prefer Oath of Felghana. Much is up to preference though.
Cheers. As i'm super indecisive though. Would you recommend one being a better place to start? Or should i just flip a coin really?

It's a pretty big party school. Have fun!

Oath has towns that lead into several dungeons and plays more like a traditional RPG. Origin takes place in a single dungeon.
Oath is cheaper if that's an issue for you.
It'd greatly encourage people to play otherwise-neglected games, which, well, isn't an issue, but something that could be solved nonetheless.

There's always next year.

I haven't play divine divinity, and divinity 2 is not really the same game, but I think it's pretty fun.

What kind of reward system? I myself wouldn't mind them just adding Badge "milestones" like they did with the sale with games. Get a number of achievements in a game and unlock the first badge and so on. It's probably shallow of me but I would go back and check out games I haven't played in a while with a better achievement system.

Ultimately, Oath is a "proper" Ys experience, in that there's some adventuring and a town etc while Origin is basically one big linear dunegon and without Adol, instead having multiple characters and subsequently multiple ways of playing the game and changes in the plot relevant to that character. When all is said and done, when compairing the two as an introduction to the Ys series I'd probably say "whatever is cheaper right now", which in this case is Oath. You'll get your money's worth in either case.
That's the million-badge question. Free games? Discount coupons? Earn 1000 badges, receive Half-Life 3?
I guess if they wanted to, Valve could talk with devs on integrating company/game specific coupons. So like "100% Skyrim Badge"(earned from getting every Steam achievement) get 10% off Dawnguard, or maybe some other Bethesda game. Has Valve done a lot to people who use those achievement unlocker programs?That's the million-badge question. Free games? Discount coupons? Earn 1000 badges, receive Half-Life 3?
Not really, but it goes without saying that would have to change should a reward system be announced. Since it's obvious when an edited/someone else's save is used, as it unlocks achievements at exactly the same time (I confess that I made use of a third-party save file to work my way through the Portal 2 ARG, namely Cogs), it'd even be possible to retroactively set them as unattained.
Think i'll start with Oath then. Grabbed the both during the steam sale. Just didn't know which to start with.
Cheers guys.

Choice well taken sir
(Btw I keep saying Oath of Felghana, sigh lol).I originally began with Origin because I bought it first. Then I started Felghana a little later and I'm sticking through with it. I really appreciated the town, I'm kind of a homeboy.
I'm tempted to bite at $10 (though I'd need an existing owner to help with that), but I don't doubt this means it'll be on sale within the next month, so I'll wait.

New Release - Resonance 10% off at $8.99
http://store.steampowered.com/app/212050/
Looks pretty neat to me. I've never heard of it.

It's been out for weeks so you shouldn't have any problems searching for reviews.
I'm about 3 hours in and it's interesting. There are multiple characters to control, interesting mechanics like short/long term memories that you can use to talk to people about events and the environment, and it seems like there might even be some reasons to replay it beyond just seeing the story again, which is rare in an adventure game. If you like the genre it's worth playing at some point for sure.

When in doubt, GiantBomb. Here's a quick lets play.

Looks like it's from the Gemini Rue guys. GR was quite good.
It's been out for a while via GOG and the developers website. Here's the OT Same folks who
I loved Gemini Rue, but found the ui a bit clunky at times.
Resonance has been on my radar for a while, but right now, sigh.... i'll wait for a bigger discount, or the eventual indie bundle it appears in.
edit: well aren't I slow.
2nd edit: Speaking of adventure games, I didn't realize there was a Steamstore page for Deponia, neat!
Any preorder? Steam Key? I am an american citizen living outside the country can I purchase?
Are there any...awkward...combat sequences in this game like there was in Gemini Rue :\ ?
I'm only a few hours in, but I haven't seen any. There was a sequence where I had to move quickly and click on the appropriate things in a short amount of time and I found it to be frustrating on my laptop with a touchpad. Other than that it's just puzzles so far.

Oh, that No Mercy map for Payday is out. No fanfare like last time, Overkill? guess it bit you in the bottom
what is it with L4D not having any fanfare at all? All other Valve games make huge deals about DLC, with trailers, hype building promo pages, and lots of advertising.
L4D2 gets a new DLC and a new crossover and it's a quiet little patch on a tuesday with a small blog post and a really boring promo page that lists a bunch of generic non-DLC related news.
I should also point out that Resonance, Gemini Rue, the Blackwell series, Ben There, Dan that, etc. are Adventure Game Studios games. I've successfully launched AGS games without Steam running, so they're essentially DRM free.
There's also a version of the engine for Android. I've taken a couple of my AGS games from Steam and played them on an Android tablet. I have not tried it with Resonance or Gemini Rue yet. The interface wasn't great, but my last attempt was months ago and a few updates have been released since then. Just a heads up for anyone who is interested in adventure games on the go.

I don't know, but I was casually scroll down the L4D blog, before I did a double take when I saw this messed up looking picture:
Wtf...
There's nothing really new in it, Cold Stream was already playable for months, and all the mutations have been rotating for months (years?)
It's only really new for 360, but who cares about that..
