I am completely with you on Dust. I had no interest until it came to PC and it ended up being one of my favorite games of the year. I would say it is definitely close to the top of my list of favorite indie games all time. As a nice bonus Noogy is a real swell guy and contributor here.

For me, Dust is one of those games that I played 5 hours of and really enjoyed. But then just stopped playing for no real good reason.

Damn, I bought Brutal Legend last week when it was $5. The only game I don't have is Fez so I think I'll wait till next week to see what the bonuses are.
Thanks Dimitri for the Showdown Effect!
I thought the worst part of Dust was getting those last few achievements. I should have done them later like you plan on doing.
Just gets monotonous.

An amazing game everyone needs.
Thanks for War of the Roses, want to see how this compares to Chivalry.
EDIT: ah it doesn't work, no matter was expected.

Totally agree. One of the best games in a long time. Beating it was a total pleasure.
Much appreciated

Hum, this one should work... It's from the recent Paradox Humble Bundle. I'll send you the key again, by PM, just to be sure.
Yup, totally agree. I only bought it because of the praise it got from fellow SteamGAFfers, and I'm glad I did. Guys, let me say you have some damn fine taste.
I was afraid this would be my case too (except I didn't enjoy much of the first 2 hours or so), when Castlevania was close to being released on Steam. But a couple of days before I decided to finish it before starting LoS. In hindsight, I can honestly say I've never been more right in my life.
Actually, I tried to do them before finishing it. Couldn't find the last friend, even though I had an idea of where it could be located thanks to one of the notes I'd collected previously. The 2 remaining challenge rooms were also impossible for me to 4-star, and I'm pretty sure one of the secret achievements requires me to restart the game. No idea about the other one, and the skill-based one (
kill 6 enemies with a single bomb
Also spent about 30 minutes or so grinding, spread across 3 or 4 sessions. That wasn't boring because the combat feels so good, and all the crazy shit going on in the screen made it appealing to look at.

The worst part of Dust is that it ends.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the Showdown Effect bonus items!

I got Mark of the Ninja relatively recently during the Steam summer sale and it was a revelation. Superlative stealth experience.
I got lucky. Thanks!!

Looks like there is a new beta client update that is being pushed out. Among other things they've apparently removed the "NEW" above your username in the default skin.
Nothing different on the website, yet. Interestingly enough this is something I implemented in the latest version of Enhanced Steam last week.

Oh god finally.
The music, art direction and writing are stellar, as is the overworld. The rts battles are kinda naff, though. Still, I had fun.
Thank you so much, arts&crafts, for FTL! I've been wanting to play this one for a long time, and I really appreciate your generosity!
Thank you, sir!Atraveller

Some people don't like the RTS part.
I guess? the only thing I mind are the retries
it's a mid-budget janky game, if there's some ambition there I'm in
well normal made it sound like it'd be easy like usual

Installed the new update and can confirm it is indeed gone.
Hallelujah, that new thing was there for far too long.
Hmm, OK. Seems like it has a nice overall package. Thanks.
Yea, but was asking to determine whether to give it away or backlog it.
Sounds like the game has a bit of variety.

Lovely dialogue and story, strong voice acting, truly great soundtrack, and a very well-designed and inventive setting, as you'd expect from a Tim Schafer game, but the gameplay mechanics have gotten a decidedly mixed reception (leaning towards the negative). The game starts off as a basic though enjoyable enough 3D action game before introducing some RTS-like elements later on, which you may or may not find appealing.
I'd say go for it if you want another Tim Schafer adventure game, as the game still resembles one in many respects. You can always turn it down to easy if you want to mostly fly through the combat stuff and just enjoy the story.
For $1 you can't really go wrong, anyway.

I've had it for a while now but haven't gotten around to playing it, but with all the praise that it's getting here I think I'll give it a shot sooner rather than later.

Thankfully I didn't buy it during the summer sale, right now it's the best time to pick it up.
it's pretty great, the gameplay's a bit hit-or-miss but all the tim schafer creative stuff is there in full spectacular form

Or better, more new mini games!

I know some of you have been enjoying what Adult Swim has been putting on Steam, so I figured I'd drop this here.
http://games.adultswim.com/pause-ahead-puzzle-online-game.html
I'm not finished with it yet, so I can't say if it would be meaty enough to make "deluxe" edition of for Steam, but I'm enjoying it so far (and that music, rich creamery butter).

So.
This Mark of the Ninja game, right?

It's one of the best stealth games of the last like, 5-10 years, and I finished it twice. Get it if you haven't played it yet, seriously.

Survivor was actually easier than my normal run, probably because I knew what I was doing.
I thought it was a great game.
So far I've mostly preferred the Adult Swim games that appear on iOS, but stuff like this generally would be nice if built up and with a controller.
Stealth done right. If only we could get a 3D geometry game to be even close as rewarding for this genre. Well, maybe without the birds.
One of the best games of 2012.
Its a mix of stealth genre with a puzzle game from a 2D perspective with Klei's amazing artwork.
Thief II and Chaos Theory?

listen to the mad man
I think I'm going to add an option to Modbot for raffles that take pity on less frequent winners. So if you do a 15 minute raffle, say, and 25 people enter--it'll choose between the 8 people who entered with no previous Modbot wins rather than the full 25. Of course if only 1 enters, he or she will get it... or if all 3 people who enter are semi-frequent winners, no problem. And once it goes first-come first-serve, then whoever gets it gets it. But at least this will get more people invested in the system when it comes to high popularity raffles.
Sounds good. Lots of people are modbotting without any nowinner options (which of course is their prerogative) and I saw quite a lot of the same names pass multiple times in the last 12 hours.
Those are both more than 10 years old, though. (Well, 9 and change for Chaos Theory, but Thief 2 is the better stealth game of the two anyway
