Somebody had to take bin Laden's place!
Oh dear.
The disclaimer here is that I already own F1 2010 and was hoping some of that stuff might have been ironed out by now. Unless there's a worthy reason to upgrade (as I hoped there might be by now) I'll probably stick to 2010.
None of the games are perfect but 2011 is the best out of the 3.
To go you an idea, they released 13 patches in the first month of F1 2012 and it's still super buggy.

Anodyne is quite great, everybody should buy it.
I don't see how they could fix it tbh. It'd be a completely new game.

We tried that, it didn't work.
Far worse - I managed to break steam for him and have no idea how. During an installation of gfwl, steam began with some kind of hickup. Responds for a second - doesn't respond for several seconds. We did a reinstallation on a completely different partition, but the error persists. What to do?
This error plops up, every time I close steam, when it's not responding: buildbot winslave04 steam steam_rel_client_win32@winslave04
Google suggested a steam-overlay problem. Doesn't seem to be overlay connected though, I switched that off - didn't help.
I second the recommendation. I finished the game last night and I had lots of fun during the ~6 hours that it lasted.

You had the Dark Souls black screen bug where it sits loading and doesn't go into full screen, right?
It happens frequently to me. The only "solution" I found is more like a magical pass: I simply turn off the entire comp, fire it up again, make sure nothing else will open, fire Steam, open Dark Souls and don't touch anything until it boots up to the GFWL screen.
I haven't found an efficient, proper solution to this issue but the reboot/turning the comp off has worked so far...
And it should be noted they were just using those as beta patches to get the console patch ready. Once those limited console patches were used up, the patches stopped and they were done with PC patches (even though the game was still a mess).
win7 64bit - I deleted steam from one partition and installed on a new one. Same error. After that I repeated the process and rebooted in between.

I think they have to be on the new content system.

Very nice run 'n' gun! Nice music. Got it in that Groupees Retro Bundle.

Wow, my Poker Night 2 preorder is already worth it for Poker Night 1. Such a funny game.
A.R.E.S. is alright. It's not episodic by the way. They've said they wanted to do a sequel, but it's a self-contained game.
Yeah, that's what I was looking at. I'm interested in the games at the $3 level. None at the lower level. I hear Oniken is solid, too.

Hmmm, I wonder if anything came out on Steam today....

I find the game quite good, kinda Mega Man style, but the bugs breaks the game
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
Just started playing Bit.trip Runner 2. Fun game. I wanted play a few minutes but got kinda hooked. Like Salsa said, its easier than the first game

I need the Kawaii gun skins ASAP.
Is this the first time they've sold cosmetic microtransactions for CoD? First I've seen of it.

8-bit Commando is kind of a more lenient Contra, pretty damn nice overall.
Anodyne, I've been playing it, it's not clicking with me but so far looks ok. I'll give it another go.
Bleed, well, I already talked about it. Very good.
Oniken is freaking awesome. Loved it to hell.

It was a pretty enjoyable game. Although I suspect some people still have bitter tastes left from the achievehunt.

On PC yes. I think on consoles too. It's kinda bizarre it took this long.

Didn't see it mentioned in the earlier GameFly post but Sine Mora is on for $2.49 as well.
Hotline Miami and The Binding of Isaac have been on sale a bunch recently but I haven't pulled the trigger as I somehow feel that the games are trading too heavily on violence/gore as part of the experience. I know how ridiculous that seems given a large portion of the library we enjoy but does anyone else feel these games perhaps revel in it a little more than some?

what in all hell did i just watch
Pretty sure I'll be dead before that game gets released.
Yes, and some of them are quite good looking.
I bought the Kawaii skin when they came out for Xbox.

No HL3 announcement?
It's already taking forever for Valve to release Steam Pipe.
Which was supposed to come out last month.

A black screen would be a GFWL error, not a Steam error or game error, though could be a Direct X error.
Try uninstalling GFWL, cleaning the registry, then reinstalling.

It's easier, but no less fantastic.
I've yet to try the DRM-free games that I collected with these indie bundles. I never even bothered to download any of them.
Haha, that's awesome. I know there are no wrong opinions, but in Viewtiful's case I'll make an exception. His opinion on Deus Ex is wrong, completely wrong.
Hotline Miami isn't a glorification of violence, actually. From what I've understood, it's more like a critique or something like that. The story is rather convoluted, but the game as a whole is a great experience (and it has one of my favorite soundtracks in any game).
Anyway, it's such a good game that I believe everybody should play it. If you feel slightly interested in it, I'd say get it. At first I wasn't, and the gameplay videos I watched didn't do anything for me, but I finally bought it because everyone here said it was good. And what an understatement "good" was. It's way better than good. Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on it.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I am of the opinion that opinions can be wrong.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but it could still be fundamentally wrong.

Damn, I can't say you are wrong without agreeing with that opinion that opinions can be wrong.
Thanks - We took the route of a clean win install. Turns out there are quite a few other errors in his system.
Man, from now on, I'll use that phrase and avoid a shitton of fights when I say people are wrong.
man the talk about Fallout yesterday got this re-stuck in my head for more than a day now
