There was a World War 1??

Well, seeing as there are almost no video games for it, it does seem very unlikely that World War 1 did in fact exist ...

 

[morningbus]

The English Education System makes sure we're aware, Franz Ferdinand.

I have no idea what a Scottish Pop-Rock band has to do with this conversation.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

This is the first I'm hearing about it.

It was DLC.

Is the search bar broken for anyone else on the main Steam interface page? It used to be that when you click into it the text disappears, now it STAYS and you gotta manually erase everything before typing... ?

But really, the event you're referencing happened during World War I.

We can joke around and that's cool, but I just need to make sure you know this.

Which is the war where they used dolphins to blow up submarines?

They're Scottish. edit: God damn you, I didn't even notice the edit.

It never occurred to me before that this Steam character looks like a big thumb.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Doubt I'll buy anything this time. Last few sales I've only been buying 1 or 2 things.

Maybe Castle Crashers if it's 75% off.

I once asked a history teacher why this was the case and his answer was that WWI was incredibly boring (trench warfare), everyone was a loser and there wasn't a super villain at the end to be able to topple.

He said WWII was just set up perfect for a narrative. A set "bad guy," a set win situation, fighting that was exciting and varied and interesting and memorable leaders. He said the "story" of WWII was just a better fit and that's why most game focus on it.

Just got a check for $100 in the mail as a Christmas gift from my aunt. If that isn't good timing, I don't know what is.

A big toe thumb.

Not seeing anything on the store?

edit: is this supposed to be a joke because they're always on sale? Right over my head.

 

[DiscoShark]

FTL is currently $5 on the dev site - comes with Steam Key. (And they get to keep a higher percentage)

Unfortunately my funds are all in my Steam wallet so ... ^^;

what's so awesome about Awesomenauts again? (serious question) I for one hope for Sleeping Dogs 75% but my hope might be in vein since it's rather new still

I guess Ronimo (developer) specializes in taking what would otherwise be complicated genre types and simplifying them in a way that makes them much easier to pick up and play while still maintaining a fair amount of depth. In the case of Awesomenauts they took the MOBA genre (LoL, DOTA2) made it 2D and gave players direct control of their 'Hero' while adding some platforming elements as well. It is ridiculously enjoyable and a VERY refreshing take on a type of game I honestly had next to no interest in playing before Awesomenauts. You could liken it to what Smash did to traditional fighting games in removing the execution limitations that had come with the genre before that point.

 

[Mavromatis]

Don't forget to click it for the song.

 

[scorpscarx]

Everyone here should just buy that new software release on the store, "You need a Budget 4."

Nice timing Valve lol.

Ahhh. That is my response.

 

[Dr Dogg]

Gah another sale already! Some more stuff to add to an increasingly expanding backlog I'll never finish coz I'm a sucker for discounts. I wonder what gimmick they'll have this year? Hopefully not something as exploitable as the Gift Pile from last year (really liked the Summer Camp one as I actually ended up playing stuff I'd have never tried before and liking a few too).

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Don't forget to click it for the song.

hahaha nice.

 

[kennah]

This is pure magic.

 

[morningbus]

All wars.

But ask fucking Obama and he'll deny the whole thing.

They're Scottish. edit: God damn you, I didn't even notice the edit.

I always confuse them with the Hives, either because they became popular around the same or because Franz Ferdinand really gets under my skin!

 

[UnblessedSoul]

How long till sale starts?

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Don't play 2 then, it's the definition of repetitive. 25 hours of fetch quests within fetch quests, garbage loot, piss easy dungeons, and no story at all. It's a trash game on all fronts.

I loved the original. One of my favorites. The dropoff between DS1 and DS2 is similar to the decline between Homeland S1 and S2.

Massive disappointment.

Edit: And I put 13 hours into DS2. No idea where in the "story" I am, but I can confirm that the fetch quest aspect is derp as fuck.

 

[Toki767]

35 minutes

 

[brokenbeans]

Finally on the way home.

I'm coming Gabe.

 

[Interfectum]

Probably should get home first...

 

[dave is ok]

Oh you!

 

[Cosmic Schwung]

So, Dead Rising 2's base price has gone down £5 but they put the price of Off the Record up £3, which seems a bit random. At least the new DR2 complete pack offers a decent saving.

 

[brokenbeans]

Probably should get home first...

I'm just that excited.

There may be not that many but one of the best turn based strategy games is set in WW1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_Line:_1914-1918

YES. This has been annoying to no end while filling my wishlist.

 

[Mavromatis]

Half an hour remains.

 

[Buttonbasher]

I'm bummed I have to go do some deliveries. The time leading up to, through until like 35 minutes in, where the store is just completely busted, and everyone yells about it is one of my favorite traditions!

"I'M SEEING THE REGULAR STOREFRONT AGAIN! DID THEY CANCEL THE SALE GABE?!"

 

[Stallion Free]

Gabe watch out! He's excited and he says he's cumming!

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

I can't wait for nothing to happen for the first half hour and everyone start freaking out about there being no sale until it finally shows up late. #valvetime

 

[Addnan]

Scribblenauts unlimited pre purchase is up for EU. So tempted, but that will mean -£22.99 for sale..

Want hat :/

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

HOLD ON TO YAR BUTTS

 

[Kinky John]

Let us sale!

 

[derExperte]

I'm bummed I have to go do some deliveries.

That's like having to do the dishes while your first child is being born. Say 'NO MORE' and celebrate with us.

 

[Interfectum]

I'm ready for a miracle.

 

[brokenbeans]

I have a challenge for you Gabe I have £50 in my wallet make me top it up before Christmas day.

I dares ya.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

25 minutes until Steam pretty much crashes

Hype Hype Hype

 

[J-Tier]

Delicious. I can almost taste it. Those 75% off+

Time to impulse buy.
