Some of those Endless Space profile backgrounds are really nice looking. I hope they drop in price soon.
Just ignore them.
as much as I love buying as many new games as I dig -
I can't buy anything from steam knowing that the sale is so close.
- I missed out on rogue legacy pre-order - kicking myself now seeing how neat it looks,
serious will buy it - but knowing the summer steam sale is this close (insert hands kinda close) - I just cant pull the trigger..
(edit: seriously people think there wont be a summer sale?)
(edit - really???)

I wouldn't be surprised if Toki Tori 2 were delayed until the 11th simply so it releases at the start of the Summer Sale and therefore people won't expect it to be discounted. We'll know in few days, in any case.
If I was releasing a game, I wouldn't want it to be released anywhere near the summer sale.
Release it during the sale and its going to get passed over for deep discounts.
Release it after the sale and people are flush with a pile of new games they just purchased, reducing consumer interest in your project.

Nobody actually thinks there won't be a sale. It's just a joke carried over from last year, when some people did actually think there wouldn't be a sale as it was ultimately ~two weeks later than usual.

Haha, love the new thread title 
In TT2's case, though, it's a sequel, so by and large the people it's targeted towards are fans of the original who'll know its release on the horizon.
Incidentally, there's an 11-day gap between TT2 and the next release, Raven.
I'll have you know that owning a Player's Handbook has done nothing to increase my movement speed.
But no, you're right. I've only seen one positive trait in the game (eidetic memory), four neutral traits (bald, gay, lesbian, nostalgic), and everything else is negative (even/especially if it has positive effects in the game). Only three traits don't actually do anything: bald, gay, lesbian. While these traits aren't bad, per se, at least one of them is considered undesirable enough in real life that people spend lots and lots of money trying to cure it.
So, traits: one superpower (eidetic memory), one joke trait (nostalgic), and a whole lot of negatives. It's statistically unlikely that the developer is implying bald, gay, and lesbian are superpowers, so, until they add more positive and neutral traits, it's going to seem like they're implying that bald, gay, lesbian, and irritable bowels are in the same category.
When does the summer sale start? Cause uh, I'm flat broke until at least the 11th
that's when it ends :/
Where do you see them? I didn't see Endless Space on the site that listed profile backgrounds.
I hope that someday valve decides to make you choose which level of badge you want to showcase on a game
For example, in binding of isaac, my favorite one is the level 1 badge, with just isaac, problem is that I can't level it up since I will lose that face
A menor grip, but well, options are always welcomed

This really sucks for MK9 PC
It's hard enough to get fighting games legitimately ported to PC and poor sales would discourage even more devs from making the jump.
Maybe someone'll be so nice to front me money at some point. My new job starts this sunday and pays bi-weekly

Is MK9 using GFWL?

Just go into the market and search for Endless Space.
Doubtful, since GFWL is unofficially dead.
But GMG has been selling Steam keys
It has Steam Achievements http://devinwatson.com/SteamSchema/230800.html
Most likely, Steamworks.

guys, is it possible to buy from Nuuvem outside Brazil??
I'd considered buying MK9 to do my part in showing developers there's demand for fighters on the PC, but I think I'll level up some badges instead.
Absolutely. I've purchased from Nuuvem once or twice just fine using PayPal.
Edit: Actually, if memory serves, Nuuvem placed a moratorium on international purchases via PayPal, but that was some time ago so perhaps it's no longer in effect.
Edit edit: I'm in Australia.

I've never managed to get it to work from the UK. I get someone from USA to buy it for me :/

Anyone knows what's the plan with the Arkham Asylum Steam achievements even though there aren't any?
Don't know what you are asking.
Depending on how much money I have left over, I might see what Dunder can do for me once the Summer Sale is over.
A reminder for those who didn't see my post yesterday
I bet he will under pressure during the Sale. Too many requests to handle

Arkham Asylum now shows that it has Steam achievements on its profile but when you click on it there is no list.
IIRC it didn't have that before so i'm wondering what's the deal/reason
Nobody really know the deal with the achievements. Bioshock 2 also got achievements and also not active.
Ah, awesome!
I think he's asking why the Steam achievements aren't live despite them being present for several weeks now.
Edit: I'm slow. But also right!
This is all speculation, but GFWL might be getting shut down sometime in the near future. Companies are beginning to update their games to the more modern standard of Steamworks.
Bioshock 2 and Arkham City have been receiving updates on a daily basis, hopefully they are removing Securom and GFWL, while adding in Steamworks features.
Steam achievements have already been confirmed for Arkham Asylum and Bioshock 2.
We might also see a Steam version of Halo 2 as a result of this as well. No word on games like Dark Souls, Dead Rising 2, Resident Evil 5, Stormrise, etc.

I get paid Monday, so I'm prepared this time for the Summer Sale. Looking not to really spend much this time compared to last year.
I can help you out. If its anything like last year, Amazon and GMG will have better deals than Steam this year too.
Summer Sale hasn't started yet, unless it starts this Monday, then you're kinda screwed.Maybe someone'll be so nice to front me money at some point. My new job starts this sunday and pays bi-weekly

They seem to be updating the Digital Extremes depot quite a lot.

Digital Extremes was the original developers of the multiplayer.

Pretty much, sorry for spazzing out.
Interesting.
When I was playing Arkham City I started to wonder why it was pushing both GFWL and Steam achievements since IIRC it was usually one or the other, so Steam acheivements being a recent addition for that game also makes sense lol
Yeah, I occasionally poke about the registry. (Stop sitting on Tintin and King Kong, Ubi!) My cynicism won't allow me to believe it until I see it, though.
This week's Flavour of the Week is Rebel Saoirse.
Edit: I think I need to take a refresher course in tab switching.
