Of course Infinite, Scratches I need to beat sometime, but from the hour I've played and the impressions I've heard, it is a very atmospheric title that is a sort of slow at first story but gets immensely more creepy as it goes along. Point & Click Adventure game often recommended for those looking for scary point'n'click adventure games.

Oh my god Dusk, you haven't finished Scratches yet?!

Despite my somewhat frustrated steam review, I've come to appreciate almost everything it brought and is one of my favorite point and clicks around. Very surprised you haven't topped it off. Do iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
 
I wonder if Rovio will ever release Angry Birds Seasons on Steam? It's been in the database since Space was added and released, but nothing has been updated since.

Oh good, they fixed the cookies thing.
Didn't fix the tabs thing yet tho, so sorry jshackles, you'll probably get more bug reports about that ;)

I put Scratches into my Halloween category. I'm planning to do the monthly backlog challenges this year, so I figure I should save some stuff for October.

Screw it, I bought Consortium. I'm going to hate myself in six months when the game shows up in a one dollar bundle, but the game really looks like something special.

Please post some impressions when you get around to playing it. The game's on my wishlist, and I'm very interested in hearing what it's like.

I just found out I somehow have some bundle I have several copies of I never seemed to have redeemed any Steam codes from. However, while most codes, if not all, should work, there are a few keys here that may not work, so I apologize if they don't, but here we go:

Thanks for Tanks!

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.
I have a doubt, if amazon says that I've got 35$ for software/videogames, it means that I have 7 5$ coupons? Or is it an error? I was tempted to buy Marlow Briggs but if I've got only a coupon I'll wait
Did you receive any emails from them with the subject "Your Amazon.com Promotional Credit" on January 3rd or thereabouts?

You can always click "Buy and download" to see what the final price ends up being before actually completing the purchase.

Thanks for the mutilated tactics!
 
Between Paper Sorcerer and the Banner Saga, January is going to be an awesome month for weird indie RPG's. Both games remind me of twisted D&D fever dreams.

Has anyone played either yet, or looking forward to them? Swear I heard some podcast talking about Banner Saga, but can't remember which one now.

Also, couldn't beat the Queen in Hammerwatch with only 1 life, so started over. Made it to her in an hour with 12 lives, and then beat her without losing one. Heh. Tomorrow I have off from work and plan to marathon it. Maybe I should start streaming....

I've played some of Paper Sorcerer (I was in on the Kickstarter), though I haven't had time to finish it. Its pretty good, it was a really nice difficulty curve for a Wizardry style game. I personally really dig the ascetic of the game, and the music is also pretty decent. Dude is still working on tweaking the balance and adding some options and effects. If you like dungeon crawlers, you could do a lot worse then this game (I probably like it better then Legend of Grimrock, and I have nothing but praise for Grimrock).

I started playing Dead Space 3, is another anticipated sequel with a unnecessary system, like almost every game with EA( PvZ, Sim City, Dragon Age, etc.),

The game is not bad, but is not Dead Space, it would be better to be a new franchise or spin off. I know the stagnate and not change, ends up killing a franchise, but what makes this a disappointing, is to remove what makes the franchise special. The second one was more action but still keep the magic.

The character not interest me at all, the tension, the gore and even the cheap scare disappears. The game reminded me in some ways to Fear 3 but worst because the gameplay not change enough to fully adapt to the action coop and also to Max Payne 3 because the story feels like a portable/Mobile Spin Off.

I will continue playing because I'm playing with a friend and always is cool playing in coop even a shitty game.

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.

Pretty much what everyone says.

IsThereAnyDeal now tracks coupon codes used by various sites such as GMG and Gamefly.

I'm working on getting this set up with them so that they can pass this information on to Enhanced Steam users, which should be really cool.

So if something is on sale at Gamefly for $9.99 but has a 20% off coupon, it'll show something like "Lowest price: $7.99 at Gamefly after coupon GFDJAN20 (Activates on Steam)"

That's a great addition :)

Is it safe for my laptop cpu (i7) to reach 70c when playing demanding games (runs fluently though)?

I know that it's normal for laptops to get warm due to size but that's not over the danger limit is it?

...and I finished Brothers today! What a game, beautiful. I need more like that!

70c is fine if its only happening demanding games.
 
Did you receive any emails from them with the subject "Your Amazon.com Promotional Credit" on January 3rd or thereabouts?

You can always click "Buy and download" to see what the final price ends up being before actually completing the purchase.

I'm pretty sure to have a 5$ credit since I received the email, but I don't know about the other 30$

Marlow Briggs is so worth $3 or whatever it is post-coupon. That like... one half cent per explosion. In the first level alone.

110% Castlevania Lord of Shadows, now my body is ready for MGR

Yeah I'm just trying to get Enslaved off my plate for the main course of Rising. Saying that I've been really digging Enslaved. Despite having it on the shelf for about 3 years I'm soooo glad I waited for the pc port.

Maybe Valve should officially release Spacewar but call it Half-Life 3.

What is Steam Gaf's thoughts on the Indie Royal bundle? I've never tried A Valley Without Wind.
I recall Cognition burning a lot of people in a previous bundle because it's only two episodes and there's no loyalty discount for getting the rest of it (maybe that's changed?). I also remember Xelios saying A Valley Without Wind 2 was "definitely up there," which sounds great if you take it out of the context that he was responding to the question "What is the worst game in your library?"
