Wow that must have gone up today.
I thought I checked yesterday and it still said 2013.
And Dust isn't even up in Steam yet.
Plus Zeno Clash 2 the day before. Get in.
I'm interested in both Sacred Citadel and God Mode which are out next week. God Mode reminds me a lot of The Haunted Hells Reach which I quite enjoyed, hopefully the netcodes better in God Mode though.

I still haven't played the original and have enough games on the go as it is. I'll have to pick it up during the Summer Sale.

I'm doing some HDD clean-up, does anyone know how heavy Blood Dragon is going to be? 10gb? Just wondering.
edit: and any news about those Mortal Kombat on Steam rumors? I'm a bit out of the loop.

The game's sysreqs mention a free space requirement of 3GB.
First Steam, now Amazon... Where are my good sales? C'mon guys, I DEMAND them!

Ah, thanks. Hopefully it shouldn't be much more than that download size wise. I shudder thinking about 10gb+ games due to my slow network!

There was a list of Steam games folder sizes on the web somewhere but I can't find it now. Maybe someone who has all the games can create such a list.

I beat Spec Ops yesterday, debating if I should play The Darkness 2 or just get back Killing Floor like I always do lol.
One possible downside to allowing preorders is that it front-loads purchases and the game won't chart as high on release day as a result, hurting visibility.
Darkness II lasts about as long as Spec Ops, so you can breeze through it fairly quickly.

That would be quite useful indeed because some stuff looks interesting but then I see the file size is like 20gb and I immediately feel discouraged. 20gb is essentially 2-3 days of downloading. Sometimes even more if I'm working.

I have a couple games to get around to, not to mention some essays for BCOM to finish up
but I'm still on GAF/playing TF2 >_>
Nah, it was there from the very beginning. Still 2 more weeks to go, I'm tired of waiting.
Nothing, I'll be ruining music's good name with my band this afternoon.
Maybe tonight I'll play some more Duke3D. It's funny: I have so many unplayed games that I want to try, yet I resort to one I've played countless times before.
Oh wow I just found out that somebody made a proper widescreen fix for all three GTA games last month! I'm in San Andreas right now with proper 1080p with no stretched hud.
Now I just need to fix the controls.

I wanted to get some Defiance played but I've spent a lot of the day being my 2 and half year old nephews punching bag/climbing frame
That and we've been watching a lot of Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam. Still, I love being an uncle so I'm having a blast anyway. Hopefully get some Defiance played tonight, if not that then some Guardian Heroes coop on XBLA as a friend of mine very recently bought it.Nowt wrong with that, my familiars are Streets Of Rage 2, Chivalry, FEAR and Half Life 2. I can put them on and play a bit anytime
Well not so much HL2 for a quick go, when I start playing that I always without fail end up playing the whole thing (played it through about 10 times now at least)

I asked the devs on twitter but they told me "i can't say when".
I'm totally hyped for monaco, can't wait.
How? I get no bites and I put it under the listed average price. Even my "rare" stuff that sells for $8 doesn't sell when I put it cheaper

Got Divinity 2 working after switching to Win XP3 compatibility. Now to figure out why Two Worlds 2 won't start up. Oh well...
Hmm I dunno, I did nothing special. I was checking the average price for every items and undercut everything by a couple of cents. It was mostly Tomb Raider and Deus Ex pre-order items.
Really excited for Monaco. This has been on my radar for years now.

Playing New Vegas, hoping to get to Freeside soon so I can experience the modded version that brings everything back together and allows npcs to roam throughout it.
Does the pc version of Lu-Mulana add anything on the Wiiware version or is it an exact port? At the very least does it have proper resolution support? I'll be getting it on the PC either way, but my friend was wondering about the difference. He wants to buy it on the wii for whatever reason.
Edit: What the hell, why is the anime girl talking over the steam trailer so annoying? What is this random babble?

where do you even go to buy TF2 items
I'd pay money for some of those pre-order items

Wait, some people liked the first Assassin's Creed? No way.

Some BioInf and maybe a little Evoland.

Well, I don't know if this helps but I put together a list of the games I have installed at this moment with their sizes.
Here it is.
You can add the ones you have on that list. It'll probably survive until someone vandalizes it.
There's the Steam Market, but only vintage and genuine items are tradeable (that's 99% of pre-order items, though).
Unless the Season Pass page on Steam is wrong, it actually doesn't add all the DLC. It only includes:
- Abyssal Forge
- Demon Lord Belial

Thanks! Pretty damn cool. I don't suppose we have a thread for the frugal/bandwidth limited PC users around, right? This could be very useful for them so they know what they get into if they actually happen to want to play a game, on top of adding it to the backlog/game count, heh.
When the Season Pass was announced it was supposed to also include Argul's Tomb (i.e. the "Day 30" content pack), but instead
First Mass Effect. Already played through the main story a year ago, but apparently you can't return to complete side missions or Bring Down the Sky after the final mission. Now one year later I decided to start it again with a different class (picked Vanguard this time, playing as a Biotic is so much fun) and higher difficulty level (Veteran I guess).
It seems it was wrong decision to start playing this again just for the missing side missions since almost all of them are really boring and repetitive, they even use basically the same locations over and over again. Just started Bring Down the Sky and it seems more promising but I'm not sure if this still was worth it lol. At least main story missions are fun to play and I have finally a reason to play through Mass Effect 2-3 as well.
What do you mean by average? Some of these items have a gazzilion sellers. Undercutting the average price could still mean hundreds/thousands of items that are cheaper. If you want to sell something quickly, undercut the lowest listed price by one cent. You'll sell everything you list in hours.
I've been playing Super House of Dead Ninjas, it is incredible. It was only around £3 (it's £4.99 now) during the pre-purchase period and I've already put 18 hours into it.
I've finally unlocked the Light Saber and I feel ready to tackle Trans-Dimensional Leakage.

Did they fix the framerate issues with Vice City? When I was playing it, if you weren't playing at (a fucked-up) 23FPS, the controls got screwed up because the framerate was so high. I tried to lock it at 60, but nothing seemed to work :S.

Hopefully finishing up Anna: Extended Edition (hit a nasty bug last night that prevented me from going any further. That sure soured things!) so I can wrap up my review for it and then a brief break before tearing into Monaco.
Maybe a bit of New Vegas if time permits.

I am pretty sure that Fez has been listed for May 1st since it went up on the 'Coming Soon' list.
Wow, has Dust really been confirmed for an April release?
April is already jam-packed with great releases and May is shaping up to be no different.
Hmm I don't know, only tried San Andreas.
I have SA working in 1080p smoothly and I even managed to get SAAC 1.2 running on Windows 7 with all the proper controls working fine on the 360 pad. The only thing that I can't get to work is the rumble, not sure why it won't work.
