I'm worried that it might start undercutting sales of Bad Rats at that price. : (

Fortix 2 and Bad Rats will begin World War III.

We will all live underground, scooping up survivors that have become unfrozen from their CryoPods and almost are killed by the death squads.

They should have a view like this for the game library:

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Obviously, the best way to have your library displayed is to view it in the browser:

Been relegated to the netbook these past few nights, so I decided to delve into the less-demanding games in my Steam library and finished up Blackwell Deception.

Really liked the writing and the interaction between Rosa and Joey, plus the puzzles were definitely an improvement compared to previous games. Nothing more fun than helping people with their spirit-related issues... by break-in-and-entry. :p Only downside of the game was the wonky character portraits - apparently Wadjet Eye were a little tight on money during development and it shows there. And for the love of god when will they find actors who can actually pull off elderly voices, it's been bad in every Blackwell game.

Still, another solid entry into the series and highly recommended to anyone interested in some point-and-click adventure gaming. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel because of the huge story developments in Deception.

Going to be playing To The Moon next...

- play online

- netcode and lag is so fucking bad I can't get out

That's why you need to save some cash for Skullgirls. You may get destroyed online, but at least you can't blame lag.

Salsa, we should try MK sometime. I want to see how bad the connection can get.

I have £2.00 left in my Steam Wallet from trading. So I need your help in deciding what to buy with it. Here are the games which within that budget that I don't already own. Which should I get?

Fortix
Guns of Icarus
BUTTON
Space Empires IV Deluxe
Critical Mass
Magnetis
Fortix 2
Still Life
Dead Pixels

Critical Mass seems like the best bet from reviews and stuff but I just wanted to know if anyone has played any of these games.
Click to expand...
Dead Pixels is in the currently active Indie Royale, if you care. It's acceptable.
I think Fortix can be safely ignored in favor of Fortix 2, which is a perfectly serviceable Qix clone.
B.U.T.T.O.N is supposed to be played with friends that are in the same room, so if that's not a regular event for you might as well skip it.
Magnetis is...okay. I dunno, found it rather slooow but maybe that's because it hasn't clicked yet.

...Some of these have demos. (Magnetis, Fortix 2, Critical Mass off the top of my head) You have tried those, right?

the thing is that I kinda just forgot that lag is even worse when you use an arcade stick because you input faster and it's like it just can't keep up

it's a real damn shame about MK man. Im much more of an SF guy but I love that game to death.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I can confirm that MK works great within a 150 mile radius.

But I bet the imaginary place you live doesn't even use miles.

It has to be open to actually launch the game. But you can browse it with your client closed. Also great for people who are at work/etc and don't have access to the client but want to browse it.

Also, if you click the "Play" button while the client is not open, it will simply launch the client, ask you to sign in, then launch the game.
