Is there any trouble redeeming games? I bought a bundle from bundlestars.com and none of the keys are working.

Seems to be a lot of issues with Steam right now. Can't list anything on the Marketplace and my TF2 tab is missing from my inventory.

edit: looks like I can see my TF2 tab now.

All of these recent RPG Maker games. As a fan of them, I'm happy, though I think more should move away from the default tiles, but whatever. Maybe I should make that one RPG Maker Horror game I've been wanting too for a while and see how it does on Greenlight.

I'm kind of interested in the game as well... Maybe further down the line. Looks to be a pretty much professional product.

So I purchased the SEGA Humble Bundle and when I went into my library I saw two versions of Company of Heroes (one says New Steam Version). What's the difference between them?

F1 2013 worth the free weekend? If I remember right there was complaining about '12 or '13 or '11 being a buggy mess, yeah?

I don't know why people feel the need to have three pages worth of "is Steam down" "is Steam back up"? It's clearly down, all you had to was check the website for that purpose.

Go do something else -- you're just encouraging kiddies who get their jollies DDoSing servers.

An easy way to get D3 to work is to use this as the shortcut target in Steam

"D:\Battle.net\Games\Diablo III\Diablo III.exe" -launch

with your own path, obviously.
Well that's even easier. Just checked and worked perfectly as well. Thanks a lot!

What? Steam is down!?!?

Everyone, panic!!!

The Gaben is angry. I'll be the first human sacrifice to get Steam back.

The first 1000 buyers can get it for $9 on their site, kickstarter-style, but it seems to have problems right now.

Thanks for the heads-up; bought myself a key. I'm starting to close in on 2500 games.

JaseC, if I remember right: You 100% Ass Creed 3: How the fuck are you supposed to play Fanorona? It's total bullshit that Achilles is able to combo all my shit from a corner because he's able to approach/retreat in lines while I have no means to take his shit on approach. WTF!?

I just cheated. There's a guide somewhere that involves mirroring his moves in an external version of the game, which works most of the time (occasionally you can find yourself in a stalemate).

JASSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEC!

Haha, a mere coincidence, I swear. ;)

JaseC alert
The review for this game mentions Chocobos as ways for transportation. You might want to get the game before Squeenix lawyers take it down.

Hmm. Hmm.

Edit: The game's been on Desura since November. I'll buy myself a copy since it's half off but I don't think I'll bother with spares.

Something else? What's this something else you're blabbering about?

You do art/have an artist? I do love me some horror pixel art. Something unsettling about it.

Something I've practiced over the years. Pixel art is something I definitely have down at this point, but not much skill on the drawn art. However, I have a few artists I've worked with on another project of mine that did some fantastic quick concept sketches when I asked them too. I asked for a few specific things, and they managed to output some fantastic concept sketches in just a few hours.


I thought they did good for the few hours I asked them to quickly complete these.

I wouldn't mind asking them about this and getting money involved if needed, I have some savings and now the idea to work on this is growing on me. Especially as I can handle most of it, I even have practice on sound design and a close childhood friend is a composer currently in college who's basically made it clear if I want to do something he's in.

Great, now my mind is scheming.

Noooooooooooooooo!

Bought the Sega bundle via VPN because of Typing of the Dead, which is not available in Germany. But once I redeemed I just got Sonic Transformed! I wanted it so bad! :-(

When I'm working, my company's network is connected to germany. Good thing I haven't pulled the trigger on that bundle yet!
 
Just finished Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, though it feels more like I finished Ninja Gaiden 2. I feel like they were originally making a Ninja Gaiden sequel, lost the license, then got the Lords of Shadow license and repurposed what they had. Man that last boss was terrible. I liked the game for the most part, though parts of it made me want to punch whoever was responsible. At least now I can go finish Tropical Freeze.
 
I wonder if I should support the Sega Humble in the interest of showing them that I want more of their games on PC (*cough*Bayonetta and Vanquish*cough*)...

Hah, they actually did put them in! They're in the store page trailer at 1:20. That's impressively cocky but stupid.

That's some really interesting concept art. Plague doctor inspired imagery is almost always fascinating and the hangman image looks really great.

It's really annoying how I get a server error everytime I try to redeem my copy of Assassin's Creed IV on Ubisofts site. Supposed to get the game for buying a GTX 780.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
man I wanted my 1500th game to be special but with all these bundles thats not gonna happen is it. Could be Dark Souls 2 except GMG doesnt hand out keys before hand :(
 
So I dropped $9 bucks earlier this morning on that new Pixel Junk Early Access game nom nom Galaxy. So unlike me. The more time I have had to think about it the more I wonder if that was a mistake. Anyone play it or have impressions yet?

I've only played for, like, a half an hour but I'm already enjoying it more than I did Terraria and Starbound. Visually, it's more appealing and it (so far) seems a bit more simplistic than those two games.

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.

My 1,500th game was 007 Legends.
What the hell is wrong with me?

If you really want DS2 to be your 1500th game you could save your keys in a text file for later use and store any purchases on Steam itself in your inventory. Barbie's Dreamhouse Party is going to my 3000th game but I'm still waiting for it to go on sale.

My 1,000th was like... Arma 2... coupled with the Day Z mode from the weekly Bohemia bundle. I wanted it to be Prey, but my copy arrived at an inopportune time.

I had wanted DS2 to be a milestone game... but now that I see that abomination that was released on consoles and I'm not even sad it's not going to be in my library at all (unless some major changes occur).

Agreed. I didn't have much faith in greenlight back then, as games were very rarely getting the go ahead so I started skipping those bundles. :\

This is an interesting sentiment I've seen a lot lately. Is this all related to the graphics changes/false advertising or is there something more to it than that?

I cant speak for corrosive but yes, from what ive seen, its about the graphics. to each its own, but from the videos ive seen it looks like more dark souls, which is what I want. I dont care that its not the game that it could have been, but then again, I never do with any game (or movie, or whatever). I wont stop playing a game that exists because it doesnt look like a game that could / should have existed

I just wish RPG Maker didn't suck quite so much, what with having a maximum resolution of a graphing calculator.

Have you played The Witch's House? It's a (free) RPG Maker horror game that does some really interesting things.
