75% off the CoH franchise is THQ's Daily Deal; it ends in a little under 16.5 hours, at which point another THQ franchise will take its place.

i see. thought it was thq week but read wrong.
So does anyone have any impressions on Aquaria? I've noticed it while reading up about the Humble Indie Bundles and I watched the trailer on Steam. It looks pretty cool and interesting but I have never really heard much about it from others so I dunno if I want to take the plunge.
I don't think this is true. Have you tried it? I can't pay for things with my prepaid card from the web. I can only use that freebie cash when I pay with NFC at retail stores.

I upgraded to an android phone back in like, february, but have no such prepaid card. Might be for specific phones.
For me, Orcs Must Die, Super Meat Boy, Super Crate Box, The Binding of Isaac, and I haven't put any time into it but Dungeons of Dredmor seems good for that.
This was on Steam?! I love the iPad version, wish I'd known about it on Steam before it got taken down
Yep. Actually, Pkeod (from the development team) gave a ton of copies out on Reddit and Steamgifts.
Did you try it from the web? You may be right, I hope not.
I can't personally try it because I lost my phone so they are sending me a check.
Try to access the site from your phone.
Guess it's too late tonight, but would love if any UK'er could purchase the game for me
Having trouble accessing my steam account;
Asus G73sw Laptop, Win 7 64bit, had steam for two years no problem.
I opted in to the big picture mode beta, when windows restarted it said "could not connect to steam network etc.".
So I contacted steam support, they suggested removing all files except steamapps and steam.exe, restarting, and running steam.exe from the folder I installed to.
This did not work. Same error message after steam updated.
I googled, so tried removing/uninstalling steam altogether (after backing up steamapps folder), restarting windows, installing steam again from the steam website.
This worked: I bought torchlight 2 (a week or so ago), played it once, switched off. Next time I logged in "could not connect to steam network" again.
Now, I tried both methods, completely uninstalling steam and reinstalling, tried administrator on the executable from the steam folder, tried win 7 compatibility mode and every suggestion I can find. Steam support keep sending me the copied and pasted methods mentioned above and its been weeks now.
Anyone on GAF help me out with any other options I have not tried? My last resort is a fresh win 7 install / format. Xcom comes out soon so Im panicking.
PS. My password and account details work fine (checked steampowered.com), I have steam guard installed and thats not an issue. Its after I enter the steam guard code it craps out.........

I tried both. Doing it from the phone doesn't bring up the wallet app. It's more or less the same web google wallet flow.

I played it and I personally liked it.
The game never really held your hand on where to go next which I kind of had a problem with at first, but it's actually a breath of fresh air.
There was plenty of side quest type of stuff to do, collecting treasures to add to your house, getting new abilities, etc.
The music was absolutely breath taking, I have no problems with it but there are 1-3 tracks that to some people sound like it's repeating (just in a form of a remix), but I had no problems with it.
Each track really sets the atmosphere of where you are, whether a boss fight or a specific area.
Story line is pretty nice (not too elaborate, but it gets you thinking) and there were twists I didn't see coming.
There wasn't many voice acting opportunities in the game (besides the narrator talking most of the time, but it's not too frequent where it annoys you) but it never felt out of place or out of character. It was well done.
Graphics and art design was beautiful, never found something that didn't look right. Everything was stunning down to a piece of coral.
My only problems with it is the map system can be a tad annoying and you have to travel very long distances to get to a teleport point. Some controls can be annoying if you're using a touch pad (customize of course).
However, I highly recommend you get it in my opinion. It's worth the ten dollars (or if you want to get it in a future bundle).

The controls take some time to learn. Honestly, it took me a few hours to even like the game, and a few more to even get the concept of the scoring system. Have you tried switching up your control method? Some people like the keyboard or arcade stick. I like using the 360 analog stick.
I had this problem and then it magically got fixed. All I did was sign into an offline account for a few minutes. Now it's super fast and I have no idea why.
I'm ok with that after 2. The way they handled that was just plain disrespectful to their fans.

Stick with it, it's one of those games that once you master the controls and move-set, you will feel unstoppable.
I was the same way, I started it up and dropped it like three times because it wouldn't click, then all of a sudden it did and it really gets better at that point.
I will say that it really helps to be pounding on some cherry switches in this game, (mechanical keyboard), and if I didn't have one I would probably use a pad.

I played it for an hour and then just got distracted and bored. The production values are great, but it just didn't grab me.

King's Bounty The Legend, a game I don't own, is stuck in my downloading list paused. There is nothing that I can figure out to get rid of it. It's not listed in my games library to delete. I can't unpause the download and I can't cancel it. Anybody else have this issue? It's been like this for a while now.
Damn, I was so excited about that too, always like hooking people up with free stuff. Oh well. Thanks for the tip.
If you update the app at this point, your pre-paid card will disappear, or if you uninstall/reinstall. If you call that number I listed earlier Google will send you a check.
Honestly takes about 10 minutes, that line is really fast and they know what they are doing. Can't argue with free money.
As much as I enjoyed the game despite its faults (namely a sloppy port -- e.g. prior to patches, it would frequently freeze/crash when returning to the game from a menu) and my wanting to see what would eventuate after the ending of the original, the likelihood of a third instalment -- or rather, the lack thereof -- makes Vigil's decision to make Darksiders 2 a parallel sequel all the more frustrating.
And then play a good third-person action game.
Like Heretic II.

Retro City Rampage is coming out on October 9th to PSN, Steam and GOG. It sounds like he's tired of waiting for Microsoft.

GMG does region blocking?

Which is odd seeing how you can download the Mac version off the official site.
Publishers have caught on and, for some, GMG is no longer the safe haven it once was:
- Region-specific pricing (e.g. THQ's games carry the Aussie Tax)
- Region-specific availability (e.g. Assassin's Creed 3 is available for pre-order in Europe but nowhere else)
- Region restrictions put on voucher codes due to "contractual obligations" (e.g. US customers cannot use such codes when purchasing X-COM)
I'm going to be pissed if that catches on. It was annoying enough that I had to get Xcom at full price. Don't make this a habit if you want my money at all publishers.

Handsome Jack has struck New Haven.
Yeah I was wondering that same thing earlier today. I checked for updates cause of some reason I forget, and it said there was a new one from September 7th. I've definitely done that update at least 5 times.
I'm surprised it's taken this long for a test case, and that 2K chose the US rather than Australia.
Are you using the beta? It doesn't update the information box.

Retro City Rampage - fucking finally.

Yeah, no kidding. I hate how the waiting has dulled my enthusiasm for the game.
Any word on the PC version having support for kb&m or is this going to need a controller?
Same, unfortunately. Still buying, though.

I don't think you'll have to worry about that. It's a game that probably uses 2 or 3 buttons and arrow keys for controls.
edit: "Supports Keyboard and/or Game Controllers/Joysticks, including Xbox 360, Logitech, etc. You can calibrate any other controller as well."

Thank you very much.
Spec Ops: The line £5 at Gamefly: http://www.gamefly.co.uk/Download-Spec-Ops-The-Line/5004057/. No idea about US prices as I can't access the .com site. Registers on Steam.
Now to decide if I want to invest time into that game. I can't tolerate average shooters anymore regardless of other factors (story in this case). Just the other day I had to uninstall Future Soldier, it just felt like a waste of time when there are better games out there.
edit: Just noticed the other topic about the deal. Oh well

Also really slow to load (UK at least) and allegedly they call you to confirm your credit card...

Don't know if it's been posted yet but Carrier Command: Gaea Mission has a demo on the official page. It'll appear on Steam as well, if you want to wait.
