One thing i'm not liking about going over to the PC "master race" is that we seem to get less special editions. Really want to buy the LE of Lords of Shadows 2 but there is no PC version, may as well just get the STEAM pre-order in now :/

I'm still surprised that there's a market for getting cheap tchotchkes and flimsy artbooks.

It's a 100 page hard cover artbook, but second glances make it look like there is a seperate artbook for LoS2 anyway which is closer to 200 pages so i'll just go for that and a digital version of the game.

Huh, Cortex Command and Cthulhu Saves the World got cards. Guess that's another 80p or so added to my account!

I'm so tempted by that Alien Isolation on Nuuvem...

Definitely. The art style of what I've seen so far looks great, but I'm still a little wary. May wait until there's a few more previews around.

But I have to link my Steam account to Playfire. Mhhh. No.

Thanks but I think I'll pass as I remember playing a demo, or was it a free weekend? Wasn't impressed to say the least. ;)

Is there something fishy about playfire I don't know about? I've got around $7-8 of GMG credits for their play rewards thing so far, so they're cool in my book :D

Not that I know of but I use GMG once in a blue moon these days and can't really be bothered doing time limited achievements for a few cents. Even though.... can't you just use SAM?

I'm pretty sure I'll grab this on day one. I think it has potential to beat my beloved Rogue Legacy in the "randomly generated metroidvania" genre.

EDIT: Also, it looks like Dead State is going to hit Early Access today. It's a shame derrick is banned, it would have been cool to hear his impressions. Did we ever figure out if it was a perma ban?

derrick is banned again?

I enjoyed Derrick's counterpoints and valid criticisms, will miss his dismantling a game while everyone else is fawning over it.

By the way, there they gave a lot of very cool swag (I wasn't there sadly)

Is that a T-shirt? It's glorious. The beer is obviously for bribing the immigration officer if they notice the dodgy paperwork missing a stamp.

I didn't try using it since they said they'll be banning GMG accounts for it and also reporting it to Valve.

I see the rewards as a reason to play my backlog and get some free cents, that is of course if the achievements for it are easy enough to do.

Yeah... good luck to them with that. Besides VAC bans through Steam itself, I don't think there's any way to track usage of S.A.M. I use it to idle for cards every now and then.

Besides, I've been using the program to get the achievements for nearly two months and haven't had a problem.

The Dollar-Reais exchange rate is so off the rails that, even with the 20% discount GMG is giving out for Strider/LoS2/RE4, it's still more expensive than the price it's being sold for on the Brazilian Steam Store.

That's crazy.

Shion's design gets worst every game and also covers less every game.



This is my reaction everytime I see Shion's progression (add head shaking):

Is that fan art or something? Because, if zkylon's screenshots are anything to go by, Shion wears a bikini pretty much 24/7.

That's the swimsuit armor. They affect the character's look.
The stats on them are pretty awesome in all 3 games, so yeah, most people keep those on after getting them.

The Yogscast 25% off voucher (YOGCST-BESTYT-EVERRR) is still active on GMG and works of Resident Evil 4/Castlevania if anyones interested

They are only advertising the 20% off one so it may be a mistake.

as expected they won't exchange my monitor unless it has 5 dead pixels

I'm stuck learning to live with this guy, and I'm not buying anything from that shitty store again

ugh

Thanks for reminding me to use that voucher before it disappeared (though for Thief).
