Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I like Google Translate. Google Translate doesn't like me.
The downside is that often the game can be somewhat frustrating fuck you so-called "rage quitter".

Haha, holy shit. :p Either my personal Norwegian writing skills are shit or Google Translate is shit. :p
It's Google. :p

In other news; I'm not really a MP kinda guy but great Scott, Awesomenauts is awesome!
I've played and loved the game on PS3, but the PC version is clearly superior. It feels like a sequel, so much more content. :/
Another big thanks to Pandemic, whom gifted me the game. :)

Bought a second Indie Gala Summertide bundle during Happy Hour to see how it worked (don't laugh XD), with the intention of giving the keys away, so have fun.
Oh, and I put the two Trainz Simulator 12 DLCs together with the main game (so those should be 3 keys), hopefully I did it right and it works OK.

Thanks for Trainz 2012, Lain! I've been really curious about that game for a long while. :D
Really liked Microsoft Train Simulator.

Huge list of games, looks pwetty!
 
Thanks Lain (is that name inspired by Serial Experiments Lain by any chance?)

I always wanted to try a bullet hell game, I'm sure I'll suck as much as I imagined.

Also I've heard decent things about Hydrophobia if anyone is interested.

Thanks for Hydrophobia Lain.

The game has always interested me but I've never been bothered to spend the cash on it.

Now I can decide if it's awful for myself, lol.

Honestly, who cares? No offense but that price is more than reasonable for Reus. It's like whoever said "Dunder sells it for cheaper" when Salsa had copies left from a Skullgilrs 4-pack. It's a great game and a great price, if you care more about paying the absolute minimum amount than actually playing the game and supporting the devs, you can just pirate it.

(again this isn't against you personally wilflare, it's not directed at anyone in particular)
If he's asking, I think he does care. It's not like people who say "Dunder sells it for cheaper" out of the blue at all, because that's uncalled for. But when someone asks what's the cheapest price for a certain game, then it is completely correct that they are directed to Dunder.

Your comment about piracy is also completely stupid, and I won't get into that argument (unless you want me too, but I believe it to be male cow poop).

Thanks for the free Steam cards eXceed: Gun Children!

Thanks a lot man, that's a great giveaway! I picked up eXceed 3, after being told that it was a good game to get into the bullet hell genre.

I still haven't downloaded Touhou: Shoot the Bullet (which is free), but I should do it too. And I managed to get to the final stage in Jamestown a couple of days ago, but it's too hard for me.
 
I was kinda disappointed by Reus. The gameplay is rather samey and the fucking desert tribes keep waging war on other tribes, which gets old really quickly...
The fact that every session is time limited didn't help either.

That's really the only part that bothers me, although its a little better now that I unlocked 90 min mode.

It's a run little game IMO

My Cloudberry Kingdom review: http://fantomena.wordpress.com/2013/08/05/anmeldelse-cloudberry-kingdom/

Since I bet many here don't speak or read Norwegian, here is a Google Translate in action: LINK!

I see many words are translated shitty, and you won't understand, but I gave it 6.5/10.

your review said:

your review said:
Cloudberry Kingdom is essentially a difficult and entertaining game, but it's bad to be repetitive, monotonous and have a bad sound and music.

This is great

Jag är svensk men valde ändå att läsa på Google Translate (roligare)

If he's asking, I think he does care. It's not like people who say "Dunder sells it for cheaper" out of the blue at all, because that's uncalled for. But when someone asks what's the cheapest price for a certain game, then it is completely correct that they are directed to Dunder.

What I mean is, if someone is pointing out that Game X is $5 on a site (instead of, say, $20), and everyone seems to agree that it's a good enough game that if you're interested in the concept you should get it, and it being on sale is out of the ordinary (ie not Borderlands 2), then imo either you can afford it and you go for it, or you can't - and if you can't then of course, saying "aw man, does anyone know if it's selling for $2 anywhere, I can't afford spending more than that" if totally fair, but what I see is "I want the game, I can afford it, I want to pay for it BUT I definitely want to pay the absolute minimum amount."

I often get the impression that when someone talks about a price reduction for a game, that causes sudden interest in that game and people start to look for ways to get it even cheaper, as if the value of the game was how much you saved when buying it instead of the game itself.

My comment re. piracy was obviously stupid yes, it's a complicated matter, but what I'm saying is if Game X is at 75% off, it's already selling at a way lower price than what the developer thinks it's worth, so if even that is too much for you and you have to seek better discounts for the heck of it, then getting a pirated copy isn't too far off. I mean people buy the games thinking 'well I'm helping the developers, I didn't pirate it' but if you went out of your way to get it for 10% of its normal price, then you aren't helping much more than if you'd just pirated it, there's a bit of self-delusion going on.
