Today's deal is Audiosurf at 75% off ($2.49)

Hrm, still haven't played this one.. good price.

I've been thinking about getting 1..2..3.. Drop That Beat as well.. anyone who's played both have any preferences?

 

[More_Badass]

To idle in a game, I can just have the game in the main menu right? Or do I have to start playing and then minimize?

Audiosurf needs to get some cards. It's fine, but still not buying it. Back to FTL i guess...

Drop the Beat is pretty meh. Audiosurf rules.

I like the art of that game but from what I gather it's about you having to guess japanese folklore creatures' names based on their habits and other clues before you can kill them. Sort of like in the Mononoke anime. Doesn't sound much fun given that I don't know shit about those creatures.

The creatures are just common items, the point is they come alive and you have to kill them. That part is mostly a naming game, where you find the name of the item you kill, like a fork or a pot.

Here is my earlier post about it:

Another new game I tried is 99 Spirits. There is already a thread about it.

Here is me getting beaten by some teapot or something:

Hoping for $13.50 on Guacamelee and Spelunky. Papers, Please seems interesting but it will be the casualty, especially with DuckTales in less than a week.

Cool, thanks. Got six games open in my taskbar right now

Awesome daily Valve, awesome daily.

Time to make some card money

Don't do that. It takes significantly more time for cards to drop if your idling in multiple games, so much so that it's faster to idle in games individually.

Should be noted that the more you have open, the slower the rate goes. I usually try to do 2-3 games at a time so it doesn't slow down toooo much.

I haven't played Audiosurf in years, but I remember it being great fun. One of the games the opened the indie game floodgates on Steam, IMO.

 

[fantomena]

Installing DOTA 2 now. Tried it a while ago when it was in beta, was waaaaaay to difficulty and died just a couple of seconds after I attacked something.

Yeah, Audiosurf was the second game I ever owned on Steam, if we count Orange Box as a single entity.

Just looking at CDDiski, Remember Me is marked as requiring VPN activation.

But looking at SteamDB, it's just a standard worldwide release so surely it would redeem fine without needing VPN?

Thanks for the advice. So now I have only two. Hopefully I sell enough cards today to reach 9.99 in my wallet, Only need a $1.22 to go

 

[fantomena]

Super House of Dead Ninjas cards are selling good. Sold 2 cards for 0,19€ each.

Got 41,44€ from cards now. Will use it on Spelunky tommorrow and maybe Ducktales if the reviews and impressions are good. Kinda reminds me of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams. Spelunky is still a must-buy.

Yeah...

Activating a game and playing it are two different things. You might need VPN for one but not the other.

And Remember Me has a Russian version, you're not looking at the right place. Click on the game, then 'Packages'. http://steamdb.info/sub/27500/

I would've much rather had a remake of The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse. Great game, way better than Ducktales.

So looking at that section, it doesn't mention only allowing to run in specific countries, just purchase. So VPN needed to activate, but will load without VPN afterwards ... right?

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about some alternate version of Fantasia.

My excuse is that I only owned Sega systems as a kid.

It is still like that.

I started with Dota 2 one month ago and for starters, Purges Guide (Welcome to Dota, You Suck) as well as the Dota 2 Alt-Tab Guides were quite helpful.
If it's still too hard, try LoL.

I vote for a remake of the MegaDrive version of TailSpin.

Correct.

 

[Gbraga]

I've played a bit of it. it was pretty much keyboard only from what I could see. It does have gamepad options if you hit F1.
Fun game, bringing back lots of mamaemories.

Thanks!

I want this so hard, best Donald Duck game I have ever played:

Any GAF feedback on Inquisitor?

 

[DagsJT]

Correct.

Cheers!

Nah, it's not that obscure. The "creatures' names" are basically just common English words—I think the plot explanation is that the creatures are haunting these mundane objects and you have to name the object in order to drive them out.

I have a peripheral interest in it, but it seems like the difficulty could be way too low for anyone who is a native English speaker over the age of ten or so.

 

[Cheddahz]

Audiosurf is pretty great, probably one of my favorite games to play when I download a new album and I want to listen to it for the first time

 

[Tenrius]

Inquisitor is now on Steam? Didn't see that coming. Impressions I heard were mixed, but it still looks worth checking out.

Seems it is. I remember them saying GOG owners would be able to get a Steam key, so I suppose it's time for me to figure out how.

With that look on its face I certainly hope so.

If Donald Duck = Darkwing Duck than its Darkwing Duck (MegaMan Batman Clone)

Seems RU copies are around half price (using the base prices as reference). I'm tempted.

 

[Cth]

Drop the Beat is pretty meh. Audiosurf rules.

Can you "fail" at Audiosurf?

Meaning, will the game stop if you miss too many notes?

The reason I'm asking is that my daughter will likely want to play and I was thinking of something that wouldn't be frustrating as a result.

Also, I suck at music note games (ala Guitar Hero).

How are you buying from the Russian store?

Yeah...

Kairo is (was?) selling decent.. I got .40-.60 for singles.. booster is at 6.00.

Not bad if you picked it up cheap during the Summer Sale. I think it's back up to 9.99.

 

[r3n4ud]

Gifting from Russian neogaffers perhaps?

 

[JaseC]

How are you buying from the Russian store?

Oh, I'm not doing so directly: there's GAF's favourite middle man (Dunder) or trading sites such as TF2 Outpost and Steam Trades. Purchasing through Dunder, though, tends to be a little cheaper for me than dealing with traders myself.

It's $6 currently, so only $3 less than the current US price.

Kangaroos are the rats of Australia, aren't they.

I saw a video of that once and it was fucking ridiculous looking.

Kangaroos are the rats of Australia, aren't they.

Thankfully the only toilets they can squirm their way up through are in America.

 

[JaseC]

Oh, I meant using the base prices on Steam US and elsewhere as reference but comparing to the RU store's discounted prices. 179 rubles is ~USD$5.40.

I live in a coastal town and haven't seen one hopping about in yonks. They tend to stick to the bush.
