I kind of wonder why valve don't make their client/big picture mode more mod friendly, at least I assume it's not since we don't see more different skins available.

Killing monsters is fun. The appeal with loot hunting games is the quest for perfection... you're always looking for that perfect item or the perfect build to maximize the efficiency of your character.
Another reason I enjoy these games is because it's low intensity gaming as compared to something like Battlefield for example. In Battlefield, you need to be focused at all times. It demands situational awareness about your own character, your squad mates, enemy positioning, vehicular threats, map control, strategy and of course you're on guard at all times for combat engagements. In contrast, with a game like Diablo, in most cases you can sit back and listen to a podcast or music while you massacre monsters by the hundreds. Different experiences for different moods and all that.

Every time, you would need a VPN to start the game, or going into offline mode until the game is officially released in your country.
Really agree with oipic (as usual!), we are here for you Doc, don't forget that.

In other related news, decided to check some streams and there's so many Dark Souls II and Titanfall broadcasts right now. While I'm ready (kinda) to skip Titanfall since I need to focus my savings on other things it's going to be hard to wait until the first week of May for me to play Dark Souls. At least there's always the backlog and I might get a little surprise along this month but we'll see.

Thanks Doc,
Your story sounds pretty rough and by no means would I expect you to suddenly feel better because of something i said but I think what you're doing is on the right track. Despite being faced with numerous negative circumstances, you're still finding ways to lure out some happiness.
Hope things clear up soon and you can continue enjoying the wonders around you.

The Fountain of Youth isn't a literal thing, my friends...
It's in there.
I think I'll treat it like an Arkham game and wait for the Complete Edition. I recall people being burned on the DLC for the first game.
Thanks, and thanks to Jase as well. I don't remember things being this complicated in the past.
I will do the same thing. I haven't even tried the first game yet...
Same. I've been meaning to pick it up, but I keep thinking, "what if there's another DLC?"
I'm waiting for the pre-order to pop up on Steam. I don't want to pay extra for one of the DDEs only to find that I'm not getting additional Steam DLC.

A game a day keeps old age away!
It's a consequence of Ubi being rather paranoid about those in censored regions playing the uncensored version and Germany being stuck waiting for a new release date thanks to the disc pressing faux pas. I'd just buy a key from Nuuvem.
Best way to know that there won't be any new DLCs is a GOTY version. Oh, wait, maybe GOLD version. Hmmm... maybe Complete Edition?

But then you would go Benjamin Button on yourself.
They should just release one version and ask people to indicate their region and appropriate level of censorship using the honor system.
Yeah, Civ V was another one that screwed with early adopters (but I didn't feel cheated since I got in at the GOTY edition), but at least they always have the "upgrade to whatever edition" packages.

Steam keys for Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae are now available in the Indie Royale Debut Bundle 7.
I love how South America is getting region locked despite us being charged full price. I mean, is there any reason to lock us when you're asking me 60 freaking bucks for South Park?

I feel the same way. I would be kinda ok with region lock if we got better prices but we haven't.
We are getting less value for the same price as everyone else.
I think the publishers are trying to say "You have hot women, why do you spend your free time playing videogames?".

Aw, seems I forgot to buy #7.
It's all Brazil's fault.

Which makes no sense at all because we don't get Brazilian prices.It's all Brazil's fault.
Basically this. You could call it a third world tax. Oh well, my fault for living in this country I guess :/

Just installed The Showdown Effect...

Had no idea the game was multiplayer only. I was under the impression it was a single player game. Must have been hazy on the details when I bought it based on an announcement trailer I saw ages ago.
Controls are far too sensitive, too. Ah well, not looking like the game I expected it would be based on initial impressions. Bought it on sale so I'm not too fussed, but not one I'd generally buy.

Been playing this with a few friends online and we all found it to be a blast, especially when you play team vs team. Tons of fun.
Well after a gazillion tries, I finally win Monaco. Thanks a lot for your generosity!

Lord Gabe awaits his throne of glory, counting the days passed since he last left his mark.
The time slowly creeps forward as it seems even valve-time runs out eventually.

Earthlock: Festival of Magic
It's a turn-based role-playing game. The game looks beautiful! It's already greenlit.
Their goals is quite low too, $150k. And if they reach it they will get additional $200k from Norwegian Film Institute
Is anyone seeing a weird barcode like image hidden within the blue download section of the steam client? Does anyone know what it is?
on linux it's even weirder

As much as I'm in support for VR, I'm not sure I'm ready for a Sony announcement
not looking forward to fanboy wars. And we all know it'll happen, whether it ends up being good or not.
Killrooms/arenas, upgrades, score attacks are not something I associate with classic FPS.

It's the background of a graph of your download speed/network usage.

Just checked my Steam and it's there, but it doesn't seem to be an actual barcode--the lines are different colours. CSI ENHANCE/ZOOM/ENHANCE:
UPC codes at least also have calibration lines on each side, which this clearly doesn't have. My guess: either this is data encoded in a weird way or (2000% more likely) this is just a glitch of some sort with the bandwidth meter background.
(The white lines are download activity.)
Already pledged myself. Sad that it's going abit slow.
Guess everyone are all burn out on kickstarter by unknown developer.
