If they had the production and writing quality of a Portal 2: The Final Hours and were ~$2, I may actually consider getting one.
As-is? Haaaaaaahahahahaha.
No.
I really like the idea that they're viewable through the overlay.
Anyone from here wanna add me on Steam? I'm looking for more GAF friends. I don't really play multiplayer games that much I just like to keep up with what people are playing and such.

that's not me in the prof pic
Most of them are either $10 or $15, which isn't too bad, but some are grossly overpriced -- e.g. Saint's Row 3 ($40) and The Witcher 2 ($35).
That's neat. I've bought a few but haven't actually used one.
It's a fix for the game as a non-Steam shortcut.

In case anyone missed it in the Indie Bundle thread post today, Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space is the IndieGameStand game du next few jours; the bigger news for this thread is that it has an imminent Steam release and the above promo gives you a key already.
Also worth noting that this was part of an IndieRoyale bundle back in May and they might give out keys there too (Towns gave 'em out when it made it to Steam, but not sure what other similar cases there were.)

Just PM'ed you robobro.
I finished it. Doesn't that prove I got better at it ? ;P
So... like I said; it's short.
I've been trying out some of those Genesis games and Shining Force caught me off guard a bit. For whatever reason I was under the impression it was just a traditional old school RPG. I was pretty confused when I was thrown into the first battle and it was a strategy game hahah
I think the games I'm most interested in from glancing through the list are the Shining Force games and the Phantasy Star ones. Are there any other ones I should definitely try and play?

Alien Soldier - One of the best action games on any console.
Beyond Oasis - I think it's one of the best games ever made. A great action-adventure title.
Bonzanza Bros. - Neat Arcade-stealth game.
Dynamite Headdy - One of the better Genesis platformers
Fatal Labyrinth - Basically a Rogue game. Still holds up rather well
Gain Ground - Arcade-action/strategy game. Slow-paced but it's interesting.
Gunstar Heroes - Pretty much a required play. Great shooter
Landstalker - One of the best action-adventure games around.
Light Crusader - Shoddy mechanics but it has some good puzzles.
You may want to pass on Phantasy Star 3. It's rather poor. Definitely play IV and then II(If you don't mind brutal pacing and long dungeons)
Ristar - Another great platformer
Shadow Dancer - Solid action game.
Shining in the Darkness - Good Legend of Grimrock styled tile-based dungeon crawler.
(Oops let me take that back. Aside from being tile-based and taking place in a dungeon SiTD and LoG have nothing in common. SiTD has standard turn-based battles, LoG is real-time.)
Shinobi 3 - Another one of the best action games on the Genesis
Streets of Rage 2 - Excellent beatemup
The Revenge of Shinobi - Just as good if not better than Shinobi 3. Required play.
Wonderboy in Monster World - Starts off SLOOOOWWWWW but it's a decent adventure-platformer.
Also if you're gonna play Shining Force just play part 2. It's pretty much better in every way.

Did someone say Shinobi 3?

Transcripted £0.63 after NOV20OFFUK. http://www.gamefly.co.uk/Download-Transcripted/5004481/
The reviews I found were pretty positive but after the demo I couldn't say if I liked it or not and nobody ever talked about it here.

Motionjoy probably? That's what I use on the pc.
oh dammit steam skin
That's my only one concern with the Metro skin, he's missing things here and there. I had this issue a while back, had to revert to normal skin to resolve it and then go back to Metro.

I think the latest Steam update sorta broke my symlinks? Suddenly it thinks DE:HR isn't installed even though I didn't move anything after playing last night. Steam insisted on a cache integration for Portal 2.
Probably due to Steam adding it's own support for multiple install locations, which I assume uses symbolic links as well.

Okay now you're just working on increasing your game count.

It stopped being about the games a long time ago. It's all about the +1's.

Oh wow, never noticed this. Dark Souls has a password protected beta D: Prepare to Durante update coming?
People buy those things?

I'm pretty sure only JaseC buys them.
Watch out, whenever you chose an open beta, steam just instantly deletes the game and starts re-downloading it.

Oh my god, you have got to be f'ing KIDDING me.
Steam broke. I tried several games. Most of them are okay and required verification of cache.
Killing Floor needed to get its content converted or something. Guess what, it tried to recreate the same files on my main drive (an SSD with 1GB left). It failed. Now I don't know WHERE the files are so I can delete them.
DE:HR broke. Completely got uninstalled.
I can't install the games to the symlink destination folders because Steam WANTS empty folders.
You have got to be freaking kidding me Gaben. I was just spending the past week or so downloading my games.
edit: The conversion thing for Killing Floor was in the downloading folder. Still, trying to find a way to salvage my files.

Why didn't you just buy the games anyway? I didn't have a pc, and that is what I did. Now, I'm knee deep in games.

I wish I could have like 500 steam friends
That's not even technically possible. (friend limits)

Don't you have an iOS or Android device? If so, install the app and start shopping from your smartphone!
Edit: or you could just use the web site...

There's a THQ Humble Bundle bro!
https://www.humblebundle.com/
because he has been the past 6 weeks without a pc and he lives in a fucking coal mine where there's no other PC or Smartphones or internet access or fucking electricity.
That's what I like to think when people complain about missing sales anyway.

That's how I imagine everything south of the usa, so yeah that's probably exactly what happened.
I know. I'm at the cap of 300 for a while now

One day you'll have bought every possible game and you'll be glad they exist
I live in South America and I have the worst cell phone coverage. In other words, most of the time I don't have 3G at all.
I've been on another city and I haven't missed Steam deals. I had friends SMS me the deals and ask me if I want anything. I even managed to get into some pricing errors that way.
I also do that frequently with friends that are working or traveling, specially during Christmas.
There's really no excuse.
I've seen it cheaper than that a couple weeks ago at gmg
