It's not MGR but I need to get this out of my way.

I own the game myself, just got the last achievements earlier today and gotta say it was an absolute delight. Gave well over 50 hours to it and loved it so much more than I thought I would. If you don't own the game definitely check out this giveaway :D

managed to get on an IndieMeadow bundle.
any idea if the Fullbore keys are out yet?

Not yet. This is the latest post on the game's Greenlight page, dated a month ago:

Its happened, and now we're working on getting Full Bore: The First Dig onto steam early access so that everyone who has bought the game can play it on steam as soon as possible. We will be releasing the full game to steam proper as soon as we can, though we aren't ready just yet to give a release date. Thank you all so much for your support and help in promoting the game. We literally couldn't have done it without you. Keep an eye on this space for updates, or check out our twitter feed for the dumb stuff that pops into our heads: https://twitter.com/WholeHogGames

Selfies suck to take really.

It's for this reason many of us use studio photographers instead.

Finding that happy GAF/work time balance is difficult enough for an actress, as Jenna, Olivia, Saoirse et al will all testify, I'm sure. Joss somehow found the time for a selfie, however, but life is altogether very different from the director's chair.

With Double Dragon Neon recently being announced and not 'found' through the recent registry searching/checking, makes me hopeful for some more surprise announcements
SEGA+Steam partnership, DO IT GABEN!

I figured out the issue with Magic 2014. Apparently difficulty change doesn't'to happen until you restart the game.
Kind of weird you have to close out the game and renter but it works.

Also any news on cards for MGR yet?
 
My PC died yesterday, luckily it was just the power supply and not the motherboard.

I had another power supply around and could swap them and it works.

The old one was 450W and this one is 680W, so I might buy another lower wattage because I don't need so much power, PC is only an i3 using the integrated graphics ( I use it only to browse the internet and watch videos ).

Well I mean true but you know how that goes.
At one point I confused the steam thread for a 3DS thread.

Yeah, I understand you. There are some people who don't understand that this is a Steam thread, where we only talk steamy Sarsa stuff... I mean Steam stuff

papers please is pretty badass

I feel like my general goty list will be really different from the one that I made for the steam goty. it's very hard to pick a single winner game because there wasn't anything as easy like dark souls last year.

this year for me at least I enjoyed a lot of the indie stuff that came up but nothing got me as hard as to be a clear winner.

I guess 2013 was the price to pay for a ridiculously promising 2014.

Is that the real you? I think I'm in love.

nah it's just that girl from the office

remember what thread you're in

There needs to be a way to stop myself from playing dota 2 (ppfft self-control, who has that shit?). I should be clearing my years long backlog instead of this -_-'.

Im sitting at 145 (and 163 more if i'd just finish idling the games) steam trading cards in my inventory (10 or so foils). Now I guess its time to decide if I buy cards to complete more badges or sell the cards =(.

I figured out the issue with Magic 2014.

I've seen your post about Magic 2014 earlier. Campaign is not easy and sometimes very unforgiving, it took me 6 tries to beat Volcano and that's not unusual for this game. You need right set of cards to beat certain bosses, and as your hand is more or less random, it takes many tries to get a hand you can use effectively. What I wanted to say, it's not supposed to be easy. Sometimes you lose with your enemy having 1 or 2 HP left. There is certain beauty in it, and it makes victory so much sweeter, like you did something great!
 
You shouldn't idle 99 spirits, it an interesting game, playing might be a good idea! just pointing out ;)

99 spirits is on Steam now? And it has cards?

I remember the day the day indigo thing ended and my friend was getting the "gift box" for the donators ready.

25 keys for Motor Rock? I wish I bought it when it was available

How much did the game cost?

I paid $11 for three spare copies ($3.66 each, basically). The second is pending to someone else so this'll be the easiest ~$100 I've ever made. ;)

Time to update my lltQueen status. I made great progress, managed to die in 8 ways and I'm pretty sure about a way to one more, last two are total mystery to me though :(
What's most impressive, I'm still getting unexpected results sometimes, even after playing it so many times. It's wonderful!

Thanks to Steam Gaf I bought Brothers.
I'm loving it so far.

I know I'm on a winner as both my 6 year old and not quite 2 year old love watching me play.
My 2 year old sits on my lap and tells me what to do. I just finished
releasing the giant wife and sending the gaoler down the hole
and then he says 'all done'

My 6 year old loves to do the swimming for me.

Top game - thanks Gaf!

Talking about LTTQ, I just got finished with a session in which
I managed to survive the naval battle and the fight against that Lumen asshole by swallowing my pride and not fighting with him, since I didn't had the crystal at that point, though my dad died. :( The invading army retreated from the country, but a couple of days later I had a commoner uprising that ended the game.
That is the farthest I've got in the game, but seriously, can you even
win the war without being a Lumen? I thought marrying that guy from Sedna would bring in reinforcements during the war, but it wasn't the case.

Doc Clock Toasted Sandwich of Time -- MB-1B3D985545BE82F4 - Taken by Hasney

Cheers for Doc Clock. I have no idea what game it is, but I cannot ignore a title that awesome.

I swear I wouldn't have pre-ordered Half Minute Hero if it wasn't for it's ridiculous PC port title and I don't think I've ever been happier with a blind pre-order.

EDIT: Going to use my top of the page post to say everyone with $5 credit should get this, fantastic game:

Tiny & Big in: Grandpas Leftovers: 80% – $2.00

Tiny & Big in: Grandpas Leftovers Sountrack Edition: 80% – $2.80

These two items are Amazon PCDD Indie Deal of the Week and not appeared in the EC list, but you can still apply $5 promotional credit on it which means you can grab them for free. Both are Steam keys.

Yes, that's how my first win was.

you can win this war in several ways, if you want, I can spoil it to you
Naval war can be won by having voice and instruments at max, actually all musical skills (not going to the sea). I don't have my notes here, I'm at work, but you probably need some other skill trained too, can't remember.
The most easy way though is to have Lumen skills at max and sword skill at max (not going to the sea).
There is another way by having Lumen skills at max and going to sea, multiple Lumen attack, you win a war but with consequences
keep in mind that there are probably more ways, I know those only.
