Daily Deal - Alien Breed Trilogy, 75% off. I just found out if you go to the news section the daily deals will be there.

I got the sequel as a summer prize in 2011. I have played it for three hours. Graphics are okay, but the game is too hard.
 
Shooting down rockets with a pistol while Max is drunk, hanging from a helicopter is just ugh...
People seem to love it, though. More power to them - but it's not my Max without Remedy.

You shouldn't judge that much without playing at least a bit. I was expecting something that really wasnt max payne at all, like you guys are saying, but after the "ITS NOT MAX PAYNE" feedback I was actually surprised to see there was plenty of stuff there. The dialogue, the tone, max as a character.. it feels like a Max Payne game. If anything it feels as if this was a feature film and the previous game were comic books. It doesnt have the same amount of snarky humor and other stuff going for it, but its far from "not being a max payne game"
 
Alien Breed seemed interesting, but now I have GREED: Black Border and it seems more interesting.

Still... can you turn off the bloom in Alien Breed?

Where is the Impulse dirigible?
 
Really, really tempted to buy Saints Row 3 + seasons pass. But we are only a month away from the Summer Sale. What should I do GAF?

If it's even a question to debate, you know you're better of waiting. The difference might be slim to none, but if you can wait, you might as well wait.
 
You know you know too much about Valve when your first thought upon hearing that Quantum Conundrum is up on Steam is "Kim Swift... she no longer works at Valve... and her Steam name is Tactical Socks."

I'm like a sponge.

She has bought HIB V. And she has received an invite to CS:GO but not to DOTA2.
 
Wasn't sure where to ask this, so I figured I'd ask here first. I'm playing through Batman: AC, and for some reason, now the game won't load. I deleted, and reinstalled, and am getting the same issue. Launcher comes up, go to load the game, and it just hangs.

I have Steam installed on a separate drive, so I'm not sure where to start.
 
Is this her?

Looks like Valve removed all the games she didn't own lol.

I'm surprised she's still in the [Valve] group!

Edit: 160 hours in the past fortnight? She must be playtesting QC something fierce.

Edit 2: And the group is some ~70 members shy of Valve's actual employee count.
 
Unless she had a different Steam account while working at Valve. But if not, I'm surprised. I would've thought that if you're a Valve employee, you're able to keep your Valve account even after leaving.

she's still in the Valve group, that's quite an ultimatum to leave valve and losing your games, this must be Gabe:

quit your job at Valve? LOSE ALL YOUR GAMES!

The other 70 are on Origin.


What's this about Kim Swift? Did she part with Valve on bad terms?

there are rumors... nothing confirmed though.
 
if I remember the rumors right it had something to do with Portal 2

I think that rumour was born from the timing; she left not long after Valve did its first "do what you want" experimental period, during which her time manipulation mechanic failed to gain traction. The notion that she felt insulted enough to leave seems too petulant.
