Bummer, man. I had been looking forward to checking Redshirt out - that's why I had picked up the bundle. :s

What is with NPCs in Skyrim walking around and randomly giving me their life's story? And if another random guard feeds me the same exact line about joining up with the Dawnguard as another guard halfway across the map, I'm burning this mother down.
Thanks for IL-2 spindoctor.
Some spares of my own:
Beware! Winners of this are DQ'd from the Octodad sweepstakes it looks like!
Thanks Seanspeed for Interstellar Marines.

Yeah, I've just seen that update pop up.
Not happy about it but I guess it makes sense from their perspective.

what sort of game is octodad
A perfectly normal human dad simulator.
Tentacle Espionage Action.

Got into the music beta. Client is updating, but I don't see anything related in the patch notes...

it's the greatest story since the renaissance
Man, I'd like to vote for 8 games in the Double Fine Amnesia Fortnight. Why am I limited to only 3? 
Fine, I'll go with Ether, Mnemonic and Great Spirits. But I'd also be happy with either Headlander, Derelict, Gone Astray, Astro Helmet or Eras of Adventure winning.
Oh, and Child of Light looks amazing. I'd buy it day one if I didn't already have many games to play... Hell, I may end up doing it anyway. Stupid me.

Ha, I want to vote for like 10 games, but alas, I cannot.
What Could Go Wrong, Gone Astray, Mega Rad Karate Troopers, The White Witch's Gnome War, Fathomless, Timagotchi, and maybe Cat in a Box were all interesting to me but didn't make the cut.

Borderlands 2 is showing up on my Cards page, and says I have 3 drop remaining even though I only have access through the free weekend...
Did they start giving you card access with free weekend games??

I don't understand why it's called Octodad, it just seems like a game about a man in a suit raising a family and going about his life.

all according to keikaku
When you are a dad and have to juggle work, two children, the lawn, shopping, being a romantic husband, bills, raising awareness about cruelty to sea creatures at aquariums, and more it feels like you are pulled in eight different directions.
It's a very realistic simulator game.
keikaku means plan

Wow, very generous giveaways in here tonight :]
After taking 7 hours to defeat the first boss on Rogue Legacy (okay, more like 4 because I kept restarting), I'm feeling like taking a little break.
Game is hard as fuck, and I know that the next area I venture to is going to be even harder. Thankful that the game has a teleportation thing for the separate environments.

I think you just un-sold me on this game. Hard-core simulators always make me feel like a fish out of water.

Wuh-oh. Steam's beta just had an update.
I don't know much about family sharing, but that seems like it might be a bad thing.

Probably to stop people sharing their libraries with friends, and then all playing everything they want in Offline mode to avoid the one-person-per-library restriction.
I don't really see the problem to be honest - this feature was always designed for multiple people sharing the same PC/Mac/Steambox.

Pretty surprised that worked in the first place.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Here's a query. Nuuvem is having a Bioshock Sale. Bioshock 2 is 6.99 real, which works out to about $2.94 USD. What are the chances you get Minerva's Den with that?
If it's a retail key, the chances are good, right?

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is such a beautiful game, ok adorning is pretty relaxing.

There is some mission DLC (a series of packs called Headhunters) not included in the GOTY, because most of it came out after the GOTY edition, but most of it is character customization options. The Borderlands 2 co-op experience is basically the same as the first game.

The Humble Sid Meier Bundle convinced me to load up Civ V again.

I should have not played Civ5 today. I started this around 10pm last night and now its 9:30am.
The "One more turn" syndrome played me well. Played me good.

I tried to bite, but got a "this product is not available for purchase in your region" message. I'm guessing a VPN would solve that, but I also don't read Spanish

Try and look through that page (including watching the trailer with sound) without laughing.
2 friends already own this game:
Also I'd buy it.

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.
That just looks... bad.
It looks like they only made the change for the English language store. My guess is that too many other translations didn't have room to add the Linux + SteamOS button, or they just haven't gotten around to it yet.
They've got to do something about that top bar...
It's honestly bad design asthetic to have an empty space on that bar that is less wide than any of the other buttons. Psychologically it causes the mind to interpret this as a break in the cohesion of the overall design. In other words, it now psychologically separates the content on the left (the buttons) from the content on the right (the search).

Oh wow, now I don't feel so bad. It's 1.30am here and I started playing at about 9pm. Though I have done that the past few nights.
