If anybody has $2.50 laying around, it is a great "fuck around" game.

Meanwhile I just jumped in to get Don't Starve after resisting so long. Grief.exe's reputation on the line with this one.
well that was fun
wish there was anything more challening to look forward to in the game but bleh
first one is still way harder
Nice work, Salsa. How is the game compared to the first game in terms of difficulty? Easier, harder or same?

So I posted most of the crap in my TF2 inventory that I could sell, and it's actually selling really nicely. Got Poker Night 2 out of item sales already, and I'm up to £2.12 credit with the big-ticket item (a Pyro's Beanie for £2.50) still not sold. Not bad, not bad at all.

EDIT: Gdamnt!
Doh, did I even read that? I bet Salsa ninja-edited his post

That's amazing. I should play it at some point.

Dark Messiah had such an amazing demo. It was a perfect vertical slice and they left cheats in so you could try every power maxed.

Man that is pretty bad.

And yeah Dont' starve is pretty great. Just a question of how long it'll last now until I get bored of it, but I'm sure that will be long past the point of getting my money's worth.

And done with Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. The achievement list was simple enough to complete due to how broken some of them were. The last quarter is garbage due to a severe lack of playtesting or people wanting shit for finales. Chain stun-locks? Got it. Unavoidable damage from snipers? Check. Shitty timed segment? Done and done. Way too many fucking enemies? You bet.
The first half is okay. It has a weird gameplay loop built around the idea of kiting enemies. It could have been interesting, but it feels pretty awkward due to how they implemented 1st and 3rd person. I would have been fine if it ended at the barge part though.

Using the ice magic to send orcs to their doom seems like something that would never get old.
I received the achievement for jumping the bridge when I reached the other side using the rocks next to it.

The same happened to me. I had to do the 250 captures in a single sitting so I just quicksaved right before capping a dude and quickloaded 250 times since it didn't unlock like it should have over the course of the game lol.

Was Stranger's Wrath problem with AMD ever fixed?
I may buy the game next time it goes on sale, but only if it runs well now :/

250 in a single sitting? I thought it was just 250 all up and an additional achievement if you snag them alive.

Any achievement with a counter is broken and has to be done in a single sitting. This can be bypassed by using a save to repeat the action the number of times for the achievement. The barrel, treasure chest, and capture achievements can only be achieved this way or by beating the game in one sitting.
I got 60 on a 7850 without having to turn off any settings other than the SSAA. The only technical issue I had was that the final area crashed the game every time when reloading a save. It only happened on reloads and in no other area of the game. Still, I would recommend the game to no one.

I just got to that spot, it doesn't seem like a LOD issue so much as the papers being overlapped by the ash texturing when viewed at a distance.My three copies of Football Manager are now on their way. Also, I stumbled upon the small area in BioInf that perfectly demonstrates how ridiculously short the LOD cut-off point is even at max settings:
Oh, JAW, you bunch of rascals.
It applies also to shadows in the game. Next time you're below a skyline, have a look.
Hey does anyone have an extra copy of Torchlight 2 for sale or trade?
It turns out the game actually runs on my friends old crappy PC (which I did not expect), so now I'm trying to hunt down a copy for him so we can co-op the game this weekend. I'd be willing to pay a decent (sale) price for it or trade a game. I have a gift copy of Sleeping Dogs left in my inventory for example.

Thanks Stallion. Looks like I'll stick with the other 50 games I haven't finished.
Hey guys, little question that has buggered me yesterday.
I bought and "completed" Terraria around the time of release. I know, well I hope that the dev continued to had a shit ton of things since then but... have all the new elements from the console port been added too ?
Not really dreaming of getting back into the game yet, because backlog, because addictive as all hell game, but I could see me changing my tune if the PC version is up to date.

I noticed the rather sharp shadow LOD right at the beginning of the game after the first shooting section. It was so distracting that I thought something must be wrong with my new rig or I had the AF disabled but I could not find anything.

No 3rd party drm listed...
Bah, figures.

Yeah, that's what I just noticed as well. Probably still does just the 15 second rule with new listings where they forget to preview their posts
.It's a trap.
Well it will be available on UPlay obviously but will it be UPlay required?
Of course it will

Hmm I'm not a fan of FPS style games, even though I loved Deus Ex HR. mY PLAYTHROUGh in Dishonored was a stealth run, so does this game have stealth options?
Unless it lets you launch crazy attacks at just about everything.
Hey. If EA doesn't consider Origin DRM, maybe UBI no longer considers Uplay DRM. It's not a lie if you believe it.
If anybody has $2.50 laying around, it is a great "fuck around" game.
Well I have $2.50 and I like to fuck around. For that price it's worth a try.
Just makes me wish Condemned would go on sale again! That's one I'm looking forward to playing through once more.

I wonder if Dishonored will be getting its first decent Steam sale with that dlc being close to release? I stillll need to play this game.

I played the PS3 ver. and managed to get the 250 enemies trophy in my first playthrough. I didn't even know I caught that many lol.

The Blood Dragon talk reminds me that I was sad about no PC version of Flashback HD but since it's published by Ubi it wouldn't change a thing for me anyway.
It sounds rather awful, so I don't think you'll be missing much.
The best part of believe if the "lie"
New bundle at Indie Royale: The Spring Bundle. Only two Steam games, but this gave me a good reason to upvote Knytt and Texas.

Its over...I'm finished.
I think Don't Starve is one of those games where you are either going to love it, or not.
If you don't like the Terraria/Minecraft gather, survive, build gameplay than you probably wont like this. The only difference is, Don't Starve has more emphasis on surviving and less on building.
I think I'm dine with the game for now. Maybe Ill come back in a month after release and another content patch.
I don't have many options right now besides ducking through the portals.
The console port is done by a different company and that content is owned by them.
The creator said that he wouldn't be releasing anymore content, but he was recently inspired and should be releasing some new content soon.
If it requires UPLAY and Steam, I'm out.
If it is just Steam with Achievements I'm in.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
You know, even at $9, I'm having a hard time recommending it. The game becomes a job after the first 2 hours.
Wait for it to go less than $5 and stop playing it once you feel fatigued.

Stop it bra! The game looks cute!
Cuteness has a 2 hour lifespan.
