I have a hankering to shoot out of a huey will shouting "GET SOME. GET SOME".

Anna is a puzzler like it with point and click esque puzzles but the movement is full 3D FPS style. It's not entirely horror though it can be unsettling at times, I guess it depends on what scares you.
I will say that Extended Edition is very, very improved from the janky flaccid original which was plagued with so many bad decisions and unpolished assets it felt like a sick joke. It's now a far more complete game with several new rooms and entirely reworked puzzles and story save a few voice clips heard. You'd not even know it was the same game if it didn't share the 3 base hub rooms. If you can get it for a fiver I can recommend it. It's not the best but, where it is now is worth playing I feel.
And if by some reason you do that, don't be silly and come tell us. You'll probably be skipped next time there's a non-lurkers giveaway.
I think I missed a deal last year in the Winter Sale with Scratches so I can't really tell fellow GAFfer.
It is indeed a Point & Click game but I'm not too sure about Horror. I mean, you can find some horror elements in the game but do not expect a scary adventure, at all. Some Puzzles are interesting and you have up to 3 different ways of finishing the game so it's always good to come back for more in case you liked the game.
Regarding what they added with "Extended Edition" I'm not sure what they added, I think I have an idea but it's kinda a spoiler and I'm not really sure so I'm not saying nothing about that.
Wow, SteamGAF has its own sitcom now. I'd like to appear on some episode, can I?

I know you're joking fighter etc etc, but why continue that bs line lol, being able to change the FOV is extremely important so I'm glad he says that even on 3rd person games.

Ok, thanks. Total Biscuit.
Considering it is a fighter where you expect a decent standard of fps by default it looks ok judging by these options:
You couldn't pay me to play MK9 for any period of time, but I'll still probably get it to support fighting games on steam. I'd expect some pretty funny mods to show up at some stage too.

Yea cause who cares about that? AMIRITE?
Mortal Kombat is to fighting games skill what Sarah Palin is to smart people. He should complain about the bland gameplay first.
Ok, thanks. Total Biscuit.

Oh wow, the port actually doesn't suck? Let's hope the netcode is good.
Definitely double dipping on this in the near future.

So is the Baldur's Gate HD version worth getting on Steam? The issues were cleared up for the most part, no?

Btw anybody having trouble with card drops? I've had defender's quest open for a few hours now and there is nothing doing. My badges screen still shows 3 drops available.
It seems that they patched it up to be equal to their Beamdog version. They did say that Atari was in charge of future patching though.
Beamdog is currently having a dispute with the new licence holder so future patches, BGII:EE, and BGIII are on hold for now.
Restart Steam, restart the game. Usually the latter is all you need.

Are the 2 classic Duke Nukem platformers using DOSbox or something?
Tosser Biscuit.
Unrelated, but does the Steam version come with the soundtrack?
I can honestly say that i don't care.
I didn't even know about the POV stuff until i started watching TB and found it completely ridiculous how he played Gunslinger with that POV, the standard POV looked better then what he had it on his WTF video.

Defender's Quest was one of the game that took forever to get cards.

Looks like it. At least the key I activated today from the humble store has a 18 song soundtrack included in the directory.
Thanks, will give it a go.
The soundtrack is bundled free with the Steam version, and is in a zip file in the game's steamapps folder.
Yeah, I can understand why people want to have that setting but it never mattered for me. Actually I always thought it looked weird when you increase the FOV.
Its because you don't get physically sick at low FOVs.
I personally do and it causes motion sickness for many people. That is why having an FOV slider or an ini option is so important.
It's cool that you don't care, but narrow FOV is a legitimate issue to a lot of people. So good on TB for bringing that up.

Would I enjoy this game if I loved Dragon Age Origins?
Sure, like I said, I know it's important for some people. Dunno why, guess I'm immune to that.

Sort of depends on why you like DAO.
If you liked the combat and customisation options you'll love BG1 more especially if you wanted even more depth. On the other hand, if you loved the story and characters? You'll find BG1 a very hard slog...but will later go nuts over BG2 if you push through.
Dust came out recently on Steam, so I'd say it's highly unlikely. If you really want to play it, you should buy it now, I think.
Don't get me wrong i am glad it has options for people who want it or need it.
It just personally doesn't really effect me but you have to understand i come from like 25 years old console gaming and not PC gaming, although i did play diablo 1 and 2 back in the day i was never a PC gamer, not until now. I don't even understand 99% of the advanced settings in games i just either auto-set it or max it out and go. Long as i can play the game and enjoy it everything else doesn't really matter to me but i totally get why people need it because they get sick. I remember my friend being super bummed that he couldn't get into Dead Island when it first came out because it gave him motion sickness.
Totally understand where you are coming from.
I am completely ignorant when it comes to what any of the settings do. I didn't know what FOV even meant till like 2 months ago and i still don't understand the difference between MSAA/CSAA/QCSAA(?) I kind of understand what anti-aliasing is but i just install and go.
I laughed more than I should have. I'm afraid something may be very wrong with me.
EDIT: read it once more and laughed again. If only there wasn't another post between them, it would have been perfect.

Comic works for so many things. Especially the people that come in and say they had nothing wrong happen to them with GFWL.
I thought the [weird thing #1] was wearing a [weird thing #2] costume and had taken off the hoodie/mask.

I see what sm00 is getting at, even if FOV bothers me like crazy I have had a long history with the PC. Though there was a period where I primarily console game'd and was able to play Borderlands even at its sickeningly low FOV on my 360 without noticing how bad it was.
If you ask morningbus, he'd say it was because I was in a boredom-induced coma. Once I went back to PC gaming primarily again I couldn't bear to play anymore because I couldn't unsee how fucked it was.
