Speaking of Spelunky -- those shopkeepers... holy fuck. I watched one the other day get eaten by a man eating plant, bust out of it and destroy it and STILL take 3 shotgun blasts to drop. They're ridiculous.
They're the embodiment of the wise old martial artist.

Thought I'd ask here as well as having a thread, but has anyone got good recommendations for mice and keyboards?

Don't get a steelseries 7G, the build quality is kinda shockingly bad for the space bar.

Woah, Amazon gifted me some game codes. I might be passing them on here after I check to make sure my friends have 'em.

Last week it was like "how can I afford to replace my failing shoes?" and "oh my god life is so bad I want to kill myself" and now... well, this the best day of my life since that time I qualified for food stamps! :D

My life is so bad, but I'm genuinely happy for the first time in a very long while. Really humbled by how good people can be at times.

Man, playing Lords Of Shadow at 60fps is so fucking nice. I'm still not used to it, even though it was a few years ago since I last played I'm not used to the combat feeling this responsive.

Yeah, it's really nice to have the combat feel so fluid. Plus the game is gorgeous so downsampling adds to that. Although I will say I don't remember the 360 version running quite as bad as many say it is. Mirror of Fate (3DS) on the other hand was vomit inducing, and was 15 FPS most of the time in combat.

Lol, the reviews on The Walking Dead™: Survival Instinct are pretty bad. Not sure I want to spend $4 on it just to increase the game count by 1.

Yep, the art is beautiful and it just looks so nice. Slaying monsters in those environments is a joy on the PC :) I'll probably play through this on easy just to get through it and the DLC (i rinsed it on 360) and then play Mirror Of Fate on PS3 and then Lords Of Shadow 2 on PC. I'd prefer Mirror Of Fate on PC but I don't think that's happening anytime soon. Saying that, I say I'll play all these and then I'll get distracted by something else all shiny :p

I'd still give it a go, some of my most hated games were reviewed well by critics so it doesn't necessarily mean you'll hate it. Saying that £6 is taking the piss in the UK, don't fancy spending that.

Oh gosh this is my typical scenario "BANG -> impaled" of whenever I find a shotgun. :'(

You can hold forward while you shoot to negate most of the recoil, or shoot from a rope. The recoil also adds one tile to your jump height if you jump + shoot simultaneously.

Like Mirror's Edge doesnt show controller support but I have it on Origin and it does work with a 360 controller

There are lots and lots of them, actually.
That icon isn't really about vanilla controller support it is about 'does it support controller well enough for Steam BPM'.
In my experience that primarily means being able to get from BPM into and out of the game without ever having to touch the keyboard or mouse.
 

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

I just want to try it, just because I'm really curious as to how bad it must play.
 
The delay the new Spelunky-patch introduced is pretty nasty. Luckily, there's no delay in windowed mode but problem is windowed mode is not borderless window mode :/

Stump, if you are reading this I would like a review from you from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct after you finish it in the same style as your Aliens: Colonial Marines review.

I hate techlands shitty engine and how it automatically has microstuttering if you're playing with a mouse, but none if you play with a controller

how is that a thing that happens

ie: I started playing Gunslinger (but I remember the same issue from Dead Island)

There programs that can make games in windowed mode borderless, I think its called Borderless Gaming.
