Wario, I really appreciate your enthusiasm in using ModBot. At some point I'm going to be expanding it for the iOS thread--I know you manage to get your hands on a lot of promo codes, so if you have some spares you aren't planning to give out would you mind holding on to them and getting in touch with me when I'm ready to expand over there? I could go rob a bunch of Starbucks app-of-the-week cards but I'd rather not

Still looks and plays great. Forgot how much fun the combat was. Might replay it just to get to the point where I can play the DLC. You can choose to play as the Player 2 character almost from the beginning, which wasn't in the PS3 version I played.
EDIT: Steam + imgur compression = bad

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Mounties hot on the trail of the Starbucks bandit, then.
Can anybody here buy me the Humble 1C Bundle? I don't have Paypal money right now. Will give you money back after the 11th august or when I get Paypal money (should be after that time).

You can pay $1 and get Steam keys.
This got me very excited!
I played the life out of Freelancer years ago and I've always been on the lookout for a game like it since. (I'm a Star Citizen backer but that won't be out for a while yet.)
I picked up the X series bundle a while back but have yet to play any of them yet, mainly because I have no idea where to begin. Any fans of the series here that could give a newcomer some advice where to begin with these games?

What happened to your vast trading card fortune?

That would look ridiculous in Occulous Rift I bet.

Too bad I can't transfer trading card money from Steam to Paypal.
Get someone to buy it, and buy one of their cards for $1+ on steam.
But it will take many hours to become that good.

One full run if you are able to do it takes like 40/50 mins.
Learning the skills to do that takes like ages lol
What are people talking about then when they say they have played it in over 50+/100+ hours?
I've been addicted to the original Spelunky for the better part of 5 years, for what it's worth. It's one of the first things I download whenever I reformat my PC
Why don't you download the original here and give it a shot?

I'm playing it for over a year on XBLA and I never got to the last boss.
It takes you hundreds of hours to become good.
And even after that, you don't become "good". You just learn how to react in every random situation.
Then you need to do an insane 4 step secret combination through 15 levels to reach the ending. And it's fucking hard.
The point of spelunky is not reaching the end. You can finish it every run you do and keep playing. It's that good.
Just like any other Roguelike(like), it is about the journey and not necessarily the end. You can play these kind of games endlessly and always have a different experience.
Yea the levels are soft randomized so you can pick up certain themes in a layout but the specifics will not be exactly the same.

The levels are random generated every time you launch the game.
Except for the daily challenge where everyone gets the same world and one try only for the high score possible.

hence....Roguelike
Yes, it's randomly generated.
Here, just play this: http://spelunkyworld.com/original.html
It's the old version of the game, Freeware, for PC.
The XBLA (and now PSN and PC versions) is an updated version, with better graphics, tweaked gameplay and a multiplayer mode as well.

Ugh, wanted to go for the Shadow achievement in Dishonored (not getting discovered) but I must have been seen somewhere... I completed the first real mission, had no allerts but somehow the ghost box wasn't checked... I have no idea where I got detected. I'm not going to start over though...
is only 30c last time I checked, Gaben giveth and Gaben taketh away.
Yep. There's a huge amount of random situations, traps, enemies, and special scenarios you can encounter at pretty much any time during a given run. For example running into a darkened room in which you have to use a torch, or a cemetery with special enemies, or even finding the entrance to an alien ship. Those might never occur in a given run, and then they might all happen in the next.
15 minutes to go!
If you are unsure that you will like it, I would start with the last one. It's got the most features and polish.
My biggest advice would be to use autopilot a lot (Ctrl+A) so as not to crash while you do other things and to download a mod for unlimited salvage insurance (allows you to save anywhere). Both of those will save you a lot of unnecessary frustration.
