I have heard both terrible and great things about it, and I wanted to give it a chance (I really enjoyed some games considered "not-games"), but I totally forgot about it in the Sale.
You have dodged that bullet twice. I think it's about time you stop playing Russian roulette.This is the second time I have won Bad Rats, and the second time the message had no code in it. Thanks anyway!
Edit: Whoops, didn't realize this was the same person I won it from the first time
Congrats! Glad it went to someone who will enjoy it.
I have Jamestown, and it's fun, but I'm not a fan of having to beat each level on increasing difficulties to unlock the next ones. Last time I tried, I couldn't proceed any further because of that.
That's it, I played one of the Touhou games. Hard as fuck, just like you said. How can you survive patterns like the ones on your pic? That looks close to impossible. I'll never be able to beat those stages, lol
no problem! it still seems to be active. i'm kind of tempted to alert daedelic to it just because they are a small company and i don't want them to be burned too bad.

Oh my.
Not sure if still active now but people who have the main game were able to see an upgrade to premium option for $5. However, the premium upgrade included the main game and therefore they could not buy for themselves but could still gift it to others meaning others could get the premium edition for $5.
All this Shadowrun stuff got me checking the OST for the SNES game, it has some great music.

I know, I was more saying 'oh my' to the xp it now gives me
Oh my.
Mine is still 517 XP =/
Oh, I was wondering why I leveled up all of a sudden.
You use the focus button (Shift on default settings) and pray for the first 100 times, after that you start to clear them.
Seriously though, I'm not that good at danmaku games, with few weeks of practice I've been able to clear them on Normal difficulty (2nd of four). But they look so mesmerizing and I love the music, so I can't fault them for being what they are.
Shoot the Bullet is a bit different. Still difficult in the latter stages (you see the pattern and go 'how the eff am I supposed to survive that'), but since dying here is pretty much penalty free (you restart the stage literally two seconds later, and like I said, the stages are few dozen seconds short), you tend to try and try until you succeed.
And funnily enough, it's a great trainer for the things you need to play good in other games like that, hence my recommendation. Do give it a whirl, it's... dunno, 200 MB.
Was the volume turned way up? Like, after playing that part you have always had Tinnitus since then? That really sucks to be permanently injured by a game.
On another note, Red Alert 3 says "INTERNET CONNECTION, ONLINE AUTHENTICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED TO PLAY". This is different wording from Tiberium Twilight, which says a "PERSISTENT" connection is required. Is Red Alert 3 always-online?

No
Managed to snag the two TWD cards I was missing with a couple of lucky below the average purchases. The Long Road Ahead is a nice background and I got a discount coupon for the first time while crafting too (-66% coupon for Serious Sam 2. Not really interested in it though!).
It wasn't quite like that for everyone though, and there is significant diminishing returns. Which is why its about 1 xp to game ratio to you.
For me, it was 2.1 XP per game, and now it is about 2.6 XP per game. I have 191 games.
woo and indeed hoo

Which reminds me, is there an easier way to organize games in your library now days? Manually clicking individual games and putting them in various categories is such a pain.
No
but our friendly Enhanced Steam God fellow GAFer has promised to correct this when Valve have the good sense to employ him .Crafting badges.
Ah, that's odd. I was keeping an eye on the badge XP count and had assumed that 1 = 1 was the case across the board.

Hmm. How are the games in Puppygames Ultra Bundle? The art style is adorable.

I'd like to hit level 10, but kind of having a hard time justifying crafting stuff that could make me a few bucks. Not only that, but realistically the only way you can complete a set of cards is by buying the rest.
I might cave and craft a badge for Kerbal, just because the game is sublime and I'd almost feel bad selling the cards. On that note, if you're on the fence about KSP just buy it. Buy two copies and give one away. It's amazing.

I've been trying.Craft a few more unique badges and it'll be pushed off your profile.
I already crafted 4 unique ones after I got it but it didn't budge from that position.This is only true if you plan to level up every badge. If you pick and choose, you can trade your unwanted cards to complete a desired set.
I've been trying.
How odd. Maybe try setting it as your featured badge and then replace it with another?
Wha!!
I totally overlooked that!
But anyway, it makes sense, as last badge I crafted was before Summer Sale, and now mystery cards would be meaningless.

For someone like me who doesn't buy games just for cards, I pretty much need to pay for a set. I only have like a couple of duplicates that no one probably wants to trade for, so I'm left with buying if I want to complete a set, which I kind of want to do for some odd reason.
Just tried that and no dice. I'm doing the rest of the requirements to level it up to see if it makes any difference. It's haunting me!
Woo! Finally beat Antichamber. I was somewhat underwhelmed with it, I can't say what I was expecting but I got something different.
Anyway, another game crossed of the list. Which one should I go with next, GAF?
Options:
Dishonored
Tomb Raider (already around 2 hours into this)
Dark Souls
Kentucky Route Zero
System Shock 2
Mark of the Ninja
FLY'N
Also, how would you order from shorter to longer?

seriously? Hm...I always thought it was a 1:1. Guess that is confusing.
If they are going to be adding cards daily...they seriously need to consider overhauling the badge page. It is just a damn mess and only getting worse. I feel bad for Jase and Xelios when they try and go to the page

You never played Dark Souls? Play Dark Souls.
I say since you've started Tomb Raider, go with that. Plus it's not a bad game, not brilliant but I enjoyed playing it
I'm hesitant because I fear it's the longest one of the list by far, and I kind of want to take care of as many as possible before I embark in Dark Souls.
Yes, I'm leaning towards continuing TR as well as KR0 which I guess isn't very long. I like having a "big" game and a "small" game to play at all times.
Could anyone else confirm this? Google brings up nothing for me. About to buy Red Alert 3 but im not going to if this is the case.

I think Mark of the Ninja might be the shortest one
Play Dark Souls + something else at the same time. I'd say Dishonored, but if you want the shortest, that would be KR0.
Cool, thanks. Though eww at 30 fps cap. I think I will pass even though it's just an RTS.
HOORAY, I have been looking forwards to Guacamelee forever!

Awesome. I was close to buying it on PS3 the other day.
Please by Dark Souls for BOTH of us fellow GAFfer since I no longer have the game and console for it.
Go go! You can also play Mark of the Ninja at the same time since it's a 6-8 hours game but a great game!
Did they announce it? They have been updating the drinkbox app the past couple of days.
prepare to die friend
also in length
kr0 < mark of the ninja < dishonored == system shock 2 < dark souls

Kentucky Route Zero will only take you about 3 hours, so I'd start with that.
It's also pretty damn fantastic.
