Good evening, let's celebrate my return from the terribly stinky depths of ban-hell with a few (more or less) fine pieces of gaming software:

But I just realized something.... by using 'No winners daily' in my raffle and 'free for all' doesn't the first one prevent anyone from winning more than one game? Or does that get ignored by ModBot in this case?

Lego is promoting an unrealistic body style to our children. I once had to forcibly extract my daughter from a jar that she was using to reshape her head.

Weird. All my categories are gone except for one, and the only games in it are Origin shortcuts. I think EA is mad at me.

could you not just use a 3rd party program to map mouse onto the left/right keys?

You can but that wouldn't give analog movement.

In this case, though, analog movement would probably screw you over more than it would help. The game is tightly designed around your static movement speed.

Oh okay, so nothing major on the Steam front, thanks all, you saved me reading about 50 pages :)

Sad news about Grief, super sad news about Classy Penguin.

One more thing that happened: the latest Steam client beta disables Family Sharing when in offline mode.

Thanks for Love.

Thanks for Hero Siege!

Enjoy the games, and let me know if you have trouble redeeming the codes.

Seems like nobody cared for Aqua Kitty - Milk Mine Defender? It's nothing special, just Defender with cute kitties and at the end the difficulty spikes a little too much on 'normal' but damn those kitties are cute. Just look at them and the wonderfully animated 16Bit graphics in general. Plus the soundtrack is lovely so for the price I highly recommend the game if you want a not too complex 2D shooter, got about 5 hours out of it. Only thing missing in online coop but there are leaderboards.

Yeah thought so too. But are you sure he/she is permabanned ? Because I can still see the avatar, or is it always like that ?

That's a glitch and doesn't mean anything, you couldn't see my avatar for example.

Yeah I haven't heard on if Classy was perma'd or not. I know he fucked with the bossman and all but that seemed like a very weird post to get mafia'd on.
 
Here is a 1953 key from the bundle apparently I won one from toddhunter's without knowing that I too have it with this bundle.

Just seen that Risk of Rain is getting an update to add game-modifying artifacts, looks pretty interesting! I love that game so I'm looking forward to new content. Sorry if that's old news.

Was news to me, thanks. Not sure how that all works but I look forward to trying it out.

Love+ isn't the worst game and does what it is trying to do. The thing is, I'd rather be playing "I wanna be the ..." because it just doesn't have much to it.

Finally got the last achievement on Limbo after trying to de-stress from taking 3 exams in a 24 hour time-frame. Time to pick a new game to play.

Ya I see how it works after trying it, but watching the trailers before I got it I thought it would be fully mouse driven. The game is probably great, just not what I expected and wanted.
 
The steam release prompted me to finish Love+, which ironically I was like one screen away from doing the last time but didn't know it.

Overall it took about 12 minutes to run through all the content. If you are not into speed running and getting a better time, the game doesn't have a lot to offer.

Other than that everything is well enough done.

There's an obvious joke to be made here, so I'm not going to be the one to make it =p

Why should anyone pretend that we're a genderless species? Sexual equality != absence of gender. And depicting women with curves is fundamentally "sexist" and "harmful" (since different hair, unlike curves, are "relatively harmless")? Even young kids are capable of seeing that women have breasts and curves and men don't. :p
But you already said Lego doesn't represent people, we can make lego a genderless species if we want. And let's not pretend that there isn't a wider issue of portraying women in mainstream culture. But that's probably not manifested in lego too much.
What I really find odd is that lego actually creates more work for themselves just to fit a dumb stereotype that is bad in lots of other cases.
And yes let's stop derailing, sorry. Here steamgaf, have one of the best games of the last decade.

The boys and girls are bored so are debating the merits of the sexualisation of Lego.

Yes, really.
I'm only happy when arguing about identity politics. That's what a majority of my posts on GAF are :p

Damn I'm disappointed with Transformers: War for Cybertron. Almost fell asleep during the first mission, so lengthy that I didn't have the patience to finish it. The combat is just boring and the environments are even less creative than UT3's. Guess I'll give multiplayer a try before I'm done with it.

I'm giving away a copy of DMC4.

God damn New Vegas is awesome. I'm glad I played it before I played Fallout 3 because the difference really is night and day.

I mean what other game lets you go inside the mouth of a giant dinosaur statue?

before:

after:

Sorry for the non modded graphics
 
Couple of new drops:





Can't say either of them look particularly exciting. Reaper looked ok in screens but the movie kind of put me off.
