This game sounds too much like real life.
The key to my last two play throughs have really been the Ponds that were near my base.
They have unlimited amounts of fish and frogs everyday.
I learned two things in my last play through, eating frogs reduces your sanity massively (I died BC I went insane on my last play through), and you need a heat stone to do anything in winter.
As for storing food, two word Drying Racks.
It keeps your meat edible for a long time and it actually restores your sanity. So those frog legs go from slowly driving me insane to actually restoring my sanity.
I got six Drying Racks right now, I'm going to expand to ten when I get back on.
That's.... actually a good idea. I didn't think of that.
I'll invest in them next playthrough. I don't like that it's hard to lay everything down on your base. At that rate, the base will be bigger than what I can see on screen.
No biggie, was just the leftover from the bundle. At least with keys it's easy to give it away.
Also, I should start playing Don't Starve again. All these stories about it makes realize how I didn't get very far at all....
I play every game except racing with a KBM because it controls better 99% of the time.

I gave up after about 2 hours because I couldn't see the font, I think I'm blind.
I'm trying to hold off on Don't Starve until the official release rolls out to keep things fresh. Had some good times with the beta, though. My last run was my longest yet - but then I somehow forgot to pause when I walked away from the PC for ten minutes and came back to the "you died dummy" screen.

That's in less than two weeks.
The patch notes from the other day said that this weeks patch was smaller in order to get ready for a massive amount of additions on release day.
You're a masochist. Or you are looking for a reason to hate humanity, I can't tell.
With the Steam forums, you're gonna suffer and become a misanthrope all at the same time.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's a lot like how people at waste water treatment facilities know a lot about the habits and diets of a town.

I got a pretty decent PC, but for whatever reason, I get horrible framerate no matter the settings.

That's weird, the game is very well optimised, and at min settings should run completely fine on any PC from the last 8 years. I know because I had no problems playing it on an Athlon XP 1800+ with a GeForce 6200 and 1GB SDRAM.
A multinational publisher not bothering to do something? You shouldn't be shocked.

It could either be my processor (Phenom II X6) or my video card (ATI 6750) that's causing it. I swear someone else in an older thread mentioned it running like crap for them too.
Edit: Ran the game under compatibility mode set at WinXP SP3, and it works great now. :/
Did it go on sale? Or do you just mean in general.
I specifically said terrible instead of bad so people wouldnt bring this up

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but it's $5 over on xbox.com. You have to buy it through their site, then install it through their marketplace program. It's a shitty situation, but the DLC ended up being worth it.
Is it possible to "beat" Don't Starve or is it one of those games that randomly generates scenarios and thus goes on forever?
Edit: Evoland has the same frustrating issue as Driver: SF in that if the controller is turned off mid-game, you have to exit the game entirely and restart for the game to pick it up again.

I'm managing to get by with one pond and two spider nests around me.
I cna kill the spiders for monster meat (I had 3 nests, but I killed one and will probably kill the other and only have one pond and one nest), I can fish/kill the frogs for regular meat, and I can make a trip to one of two pig camps that have a SHITLOAD of berries. That way, I don't need to fertilize them and I have enough for some meatballs.
I didn't get to winter yet, but I didn't die either!
But now I have to sleep.

eventually you'll need to collect 5 pieces of a machine that takes you through the next world
the next world is essentially the game starting over, but getting there is hard enough as to consider it a challenge to conquer
Funny story: I did it once. Every piece respawned in close proximity, so I did it all at once. Didn't even build a goddamn base.
I found a maxwell portal all built before this playthrough, but I forgot what it does. I also died before I could do anything with it.
Also, I don't know how you people can survive without a goddamn logsuit.
I thought I saw that an adventure mode recently got added to the beta. I've owned it for a while (someone gifted it to me) but I've never tried it. Does adventure mode work the same way?
Wow, clicking through the Update News window is much faster than it used to be.
Maybe it's one of those games you think has no end but in fact does and it'll be several years until somebody outside of the development team discovers this.

oh yeah that's right. Ive never tried adventure mode
I believe adventure mode gives you certain objectives and some story.
I've personally just played sandbox mode.
I officially got through my first winter guys. I didn't even have to harvest my vineyard, just lived off the meat I had dried and whatever I could forage.
Don't Starve is about to push Sleeping Dogs out of my top 20 Steam games played.
Isn't it like 20 days?
how much meat did you have? would you just eat the meat or would you prepare meals?
Change the thread title to Don't Starve OT
I'm on day 36 right now, so the back part of winter. The ponds have thawed and its warmer.
Basically day 18-20 the only thing i did was catch frogs and fish to turn into dried meat. I think I had about 30 going into winter.
I foraged during winter, found carets, berries, and some beefalo to get my self through.

Sounds a but FTLish. Might have to take the plunge after the various impressions here.
YES! PRAISE THE FUCKING SUN! I beat the Gargoyles! And got the shitty tail weapon as well.
...Am I wrong in constantly using the Halberd? The DMG stat on that thing is so much better than my other weapons.
Also, what factor makes me overencumbered/roll slower? I'm still below my equipment load margin but as soon as I equip certain armor, I go into the slightly slower roll mode.

Dark Messiah: Might & Magic is $2.50 over at GamersGate.
Edit: Well, what do you know, Metro: Last Light unlocks on my birthday!

if you're below 50% of your carry weight you get medium rolls, if you're bellow 25% you get light rolls. everything above 50% gets you heavy rolls.
in my experience you really want light rolls because it gives you like the most invulnerability frames and it just feels better, but you can play as a tank if you want to and that's fine as well.

Secretly the best overlooked first person melee game.
The people must know.
edit: also made by arkane studios, so it's got some dishonored vibes in it

It probably has the best kick in a game. Kicking everything was just so damn fun. Kick people off cliffs, into spikes, into fires, into other people.
The multiplayer was dynamite.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is up for pre-order.
It definitely looks like something that I would enjoy.
EDIT: Oh hell yes, they are bundling the game with the soundtrack.
