No point in buying the DLC: the start of Joe's seems promising, but in the end, it is just like Jimmy's: no cut-scene, just boring missions.

Why was there a Train Simulator add-on about men's fragrance recently added?

Good god, Hector Badge of Carnage looks really funny. Why hadn't I heard of this game before, I even have most other telltale point-and-click games.

I can help anyone who needs to buy from the U.S. store. Send a friend request through Steam to Renix. I'm the Renix with the same avatar as here and you can also find me in the gaf steam group.

It's not developed by Telltale, only published. Started out on iOS.

Hey is anyone here from Russia? For some bizarre reason the piece of Mafia 2 DLC "Betrayal of Jimmy" is only available on the Russian store and I want to get it. PM if me if you can help.
Joe's Adventure has some of the best story missions in the game so yeah, it's worth 2.49$.

Is that not the same as Jimmy's Vendetta?
No, I bought it when the game came out.

Something just hit me:
After I took the final test for the semester today, which was to some extent about graph theory, I finally had time to play some games again.
Played some Hamilton's Great Adventure. Then I noticed. It's a game about solving graph problems! Even the name makes sense now.

Was that widely known and am I just a slowpoke?

Ahaha holy shit!
My computer science education failed me! This is pretty clever and I feel bad for not having noticed it myself.

I did not get the joke in the title, although I knew about the theory behind. Most of the paths aren't Hamiltonian in the game, since Hamilton can walk twice on some vertices.
If you like this kind of games, try English Country Tune (there is a demo), which brings the game a bit further.
Thank you both. I just saved myself a few bucks
Joe's adventure has a bunch of generic missions, but I think I remember 5 full story missions that are pretty great and worth the 2.50. Would have preferred the DLC been shorter and been cut down on the filler, but if you don't mind grinding a bit, they're worth playing.
Still haven't finished Mafia 2. I liked it for the most part, but I got hit with a nasty bug in one of the final chapters. It's the part where you have to acquire a bunch of money to proceed...apparently if you make money by robbing stores, rather than stealing cars, you get stuck on an eternal loading screen between chapters 14 and 15. This bug is in the PS3, 360 and PC versions of the game and has not been fixed (unless a fix has come out within the past six months, which is unlikely). I would have to restart the entire chapter to do it right, but I don't feel like doing all that fuckin' driving again.

It's really bad and not funny at all unless East London accents inherently amuse you.

Can you just buy it, or is it for subscribers only?
'This title is available for purchase in the United States and Canada'
so pretty much a origin sale offer.
also not steamworks, might register on origin.
You can buy it without being a subscriber. It's basically a reskinned Direct2Drive.
I don't really care for their set up. I don't think you can even view your owned games without downloading the Gamefly client.
They usually use Webmoney.
So, I just bought Mafia 2 from Amazon.com because that would be much cheaper than just buying it on Steam here in Europe. I have done this three times before without any issues. But now, Steam says that the game is not available in my country when I try to activate the CD-key. So I guess it only activates in US.
As I am too lazy to try and get a refund from Amazon I just figured I could give this code to someone here in exchange for this game http://store.steampowered.com/app/901741/
You will get Mafia 2 for $5 then, a pretty good deal if you ask me.

is it possible nba 2k12 sells for cheaper by the 12th?

I say get it. Damn good deal.
It's possible that it could receive a daily sale (probably 75% off), only MLB2K12 is officially excluded. Kind of wish I didn't buy NBA2K11 from Amazon just a few weeks back, but it was only seven bucks.

There both great games, stacking being an adventure game and costume quest being like paper mario.
You'll save $2.50 by buying them separately.
What bundle is this? Nothing showing up on Steam search...

As much as I love Double Fine, that's frankly insulting to Paper Mario.

I only said it was like Paper Mario cause the battle system was inspired by it. But yeah Paper Mario and it's sequel are much better games.
So played Rayman 2 this week on Steam and it's still great.
Pro's
- Steam version of the game supports widescreen
- Can use a 360 pad, cannot map buttons however
- it's a exact port of the pc version from 1999 so that's great
Con's
- 16bit pallet? I was using a lcd, so that might be the issue (it's a very old game)
- no steam overlay for some reason
so yeah plays amazingly well for a 13 year old game, took me a few hours to complete it, I recall it took me MONTHS to try and finish the game, especially the second to last level with the flying rocket in the spaceship... that was painful.
Man I forgot how much I loved the Robo pirates and Razorbeard.
Bought the Hector games, but what sort of weird resolution do they run at in windowed mode? Seemed that whatever resolution I chose from the list, the window would have black bars either at the top and bottom, or at the sides, depending on the resolution. There didn't seem to be a setting that would just show the window without bars.
