Hrmm..Replacing the music in FF8 looks to be slightly more work than I expected.
I've played through the game three times already, so hearing the different music is kinda putting me off.
Eh well. I'll look into it after finishing FFX/X-2.

Yeah, I saw that, but I passed on that price on Amazon a couple weeks ago. I'm not in a hurry to get it, so I'll just wait. I'm sure by Summer sale at the latest it will be 67-75% off.
Really? I downloaded the Roses and Wine mod and it replaced (mostly) all of the music for me without any hassle. Just gotta make sure not to verify the game cache afterwards.

Yes. Graphics dated but plot is still awesome.

If you liek a good story in your video games, then yes.
Could be, I stopped buying bundles for a long while when there was a new named bundle every other day and just recently got back to it (damn this thread!). Only knew Humble, Indieroyale, Indie Gala and Groupees and just discovered Bundlestars (which let to +90 games...).

Anybody else notice Batman and zombie fighting dude wiping blood off of their mouths on the store page?
Kinda funny.
Well I was just expecting to drag and replace. Thanks though I'll get to it after clearing a lot of dormant crap from my PC.

Blink Bundle has only had a few (3?) bundles so far, but they have been pretty great. Generally games which are on Steam, and haven't been featured in other bundles. So far no Simulator games either

I think it is easy to understand in this age of digital credit.
Imagine a foreign currency, that has no government issuing it, is sitting on your bank account. That, is bitcoin.
Btw, I really liked the new design of Groupees. It looks well organized and practical.

Goat Simulator is coming to headbutt you.
So it's currency without an issuer, really.
But why -- I mean, I don't understand the point... what's the benefit of using bitcoin exactly? Better exchange rates?
You forgot the wild fluctuations in value.
Hiding all your drug/paedophilia/weapon dealing money.
The mirage of earning cash with zero efforts?
I guess... I don't really get it too

There are 2 sonic all-stars kart racers on steam.
Which is the good one? The newer one? Transformed?

Nothing can possibly top this for a game title.

Transformed is the better of the two. The original isn't bad but has flaws, and no online mode on PC. Transformed is much improved in many ways, and is a way better PC version too.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is part of what is recognized as the holy trinity of kart racers, whose other two corners go to Mario Kart DS and Crash Tag Team Racing.
Transformed!

The only people who actually currently benefit from using bitcoin are
1) People who got in way early and are sitting on (hundreds of) thousands of dollars worth
2) People who invest because they believe that the value will increase
bubble
3) People who want to do shady deals, because it's somewhat difficult to find out who is behind a bitcoin transaction
It's unregulated and the future of money and so on, but it's still too difficult to use and too cryptic (hah) for any mainstream adaption
Finished Ku: Shroud of the Morrigan, while trying to get the Paylfire rewards. Fortunately I bought it for $1 from IndieGameStand.
The game is quite bad and very buggy, your character can sometimes go off screen with no way to return, controls are slow and unresponsive, audio is horrible (never heard footsteps as bad as the ones in this game), visuals are a hit and miss, etc.
From the screenshots it looked like it could be similar to Bastion but besides the camera perspective there isn't much in common.
In Ku you get only 1 weapon, a sword, and something that shoots bubbles that stuns enemies for a little while and that's it, so the combat comes down to stunning enemy, attacking and rolling back, rinse and repeat.
I have no problem with simplistic combat but when the controls work half the time you press a button then we have a problem. Also the enemy AI (or should I say lack of) is quite bad
The Arena mode is super tedious unlike Bastion challenges. Since there aren't many types of monsters, it introduces enemies with different colors which are basically the same but they just take longer to kill. :/
Last but not least, the Arena mode menu does not work with a controller and you have to use a mouse or you'll get stuck in a loading screen forever.
I wouldn't recommend this game even if it's later patched and fixed.
On the good side, it was short and I got GMG credit for getting some achievements so not everything was in vain.

People use it for multiple reasons.
One of the more common ones is people with libertarian views who see the lack of government regulation as a thing in it's favor, or techno-libertarians who view the lawless nature of the internet as ideal.
Some people just like the idea of being able to make money for nothing through mining, although I don't even think mining is profitable anymore if you don't have a huge setup.
Finally there are people who want to use money in some illegal manner, since bitcoin is untraceable it's kinda ideal for this. This is also the only thing bitcoin is actually good at, since it's price fluctuates too much for it to be a safe investment and you can't really use it to buy anything you'd need.

How long did it take you to finish the game? Also can you post how to get the cheevos that the playfire rewards mention so I can get those out of the way without missing them if any? I should start this tomorrow and finish it up.

Haha, I usually try to 100% games but there is 1 that requires to get to wave 40 in arena mode and the furthest I got to was wave 23.
I don't remember how much time it took but it felt like forever.

I've played maybe 4 or 5 games of this. It was fun, but every game was a complete stomp. Title is very accurate though.

Welp, looks like I was doubly wrong then, since I previously posted exactly that but retracted it because I saw that tweet from 10 days ago. I really am stupid today.

Privacy. This might sound silly but imagine that I have a students' loan left ~3k which turned into tax debt meaning the government can seize any of my bank accounts if they see anything above 500. So I buy bitcoins, can still spend it online, can convert it with high granularity.
P.S.: This example may or may not represent the truth.
Sure, it took me 3 hours with some idling in the middle, but you can finish it in less if you don't explore every inch of the map, like I always do
The 3 achievements are Plucky Patch Kid, Jack Be Nimble and Hyaah! Kyah! Hyeaaagh!
Plucky Patch Kid: When you get to the village in the 1st chapter there is a character (I believe in the 2nd screen) that asks you to move the watermelons to the path in front of her. Very easy.
Jack Be Nimble: Avoid damage during one of the bosses
the giant afer the spider
Hyaah! Kyah! Hyeaaagh!: Get to wave 11 in all 4 arenas. Not hard but tediuos as I mentioned before.
No CSGO

I really want this game to get released on Steam. One step closer to the eventual VN renaissance in the West.
Gimme gimme gimme!
Also, that pic looks SO much like No More Heroes. I have no idea what this one is about, but just knowing it was made by Suda51 is enough to grab my attention.
There was a thread here on GAF about this, but I totally forgot until now.
EDIT: sorry for the double post!
