"I know I've done something wrong in the past, but since i KNOW it's ok. I can still point out other people doing the same and act like I'm above you all."

So what are your motivations for digging through my post history based on what I said about racism?

I'm all ears.

Today should be the new Humble Bundle unlocks, right?

It is Tuesday for non-Down Unders, yeah? Am I even awake or am I sleepworking?

 

[Lain]

It was only meant for Arthea, but I don't want to ignore the paint effort, though you all took the tank part way too literally! XD
I'll send you two a key.

I have 2 other keys. Post some female moe human tanks drawings and the 2 that looks the best or funny to me get 1 each.
Time limit is 3 hours from now.

It should be in just under 4 hours or so.

I'd guess it's something else but I'll keep that to myself.

As I said. Predictable.

We are halfway through the bundle duration... So yes, it should be today.

I was totally going to enter this since you said it is one of your favorites, then I went to check it out on Steam... and I already own it! >_<

By this time, with all the talk I've done about this game, I expect everybody has it!

Spoiler

it has more to do with it being in bundles several time, but let's it keep our secret

Oh cool, The Banner Saga is only $15 on Gamefly and it comes with the pre-order bonus

how come you can say only $15, after winter sale.
it's very suspicious, you know?

Reposting, still a key left:
It's not much, but here it is if someone is missing them:

Criminal. Someone take Bastion! It's a GREAT game.

Turfster's gonna have a fit when he sees all the gifs that have been posted.

:lol

Man. Would recommend! There is even a sequel coming out ~~

It was good. I enjoyed it.
Did you check out the special holiday episode?

Hey next time instead of taking two copies of Brothers, give one copy to me so I can actually get the game, thanks.

Ask and you shall receive. PM incoming.

 

[MakeshiftChef]

One more thing, Baron von Loathsome's very literal Moe tank is awesome and put a smile on my face. That is all.

Man, I hope I win. My new laptop is coming in today that can actually run it at max/1080p. Thanks so much for putting this up.

Oh and it is my birthday. Would make a great surprise present for my new birthday present haha!

Again, great giveaway and whomever wins is lucky. Thanks man!

This giveaway reminds me, I have Bioshock 1 and 2. Should I play them in order, or is one of them clearly the one to play? Alternatively, I can start with System Shock 2.

I'm still trying to find a use for my coupons. So far I bought How to Survive and Marlow Briggs. Too many not so great offers on EA games :/

Went back a few pages to see what everyone was talking about, and won Bastion from Snakethesniper, thanks! Played it on 360 back when it came out, happy to have it in my Steam library because I haven't turned my 360 on in like a year.

 

[Cheddahz]

Banner Saga is a tactical RPG?

Turn-based strategy , so yes

The battle system sort of reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics

I'm going to wait on reviews for this game. The multiplayer version of the same game that was f2p had bad reviews (They even reused some of the screenshots for the single player version lol).

You have not a single reason not to buy it, seriously. It's not FE obviously, but if you like gameplay of FE, there is good reason to assume you'll like tBS at least some.
You can wait with me for a month or two, too!

I hear ya. I shall be strong and wait for the inevitable summer sale.

 

[TronLight]

I tried DiRT 3 for a bit yesterday. No help while driving, and I can't make it past the 7th position on the board, even if I think I'm driving pretty nicely, the game think I suck. Altough I'm having a good time. It's pretty nice to look at too.

And I swear I can't remember how did I get it. I don't remember buying it, and I didn't win it here or anywhere else. Was it in a bundle?

Ok i guess i should rephrase. I will wait for a sale until this goes into my backlog . (Also because i currently plan on starting blackguards, which looks much better IMO).

thanks for posting this, it answered two concerns

autosave only

A stronger criticism of the combat is its overall lack of variety. Neither terrain nor environmental obstacles affect movement or combat strategies to any significant degree, irrespective of whether you're fighting in a snowy forest or a cobbled town square. There's also a lack of variety when it comes to enemies, with the vast majority of your foes consisting of a heavily armoured race called the Dredge that are bereft of any real personality or design flair.

 

[EmergentFocus]

I'm going to wait on reviews for this game. The multiplayer version of the same game that was f2p had bad reviews (They even reused some of the screenshots for the single player version lol).

Indeed. There are some previews of the game that are making me hesitate a bit:

Some First Impressions

RPS "Wot I Think"

RPS "Hands-on verdict"

EDIT: Thanks for the Eurogamer review: I hadn't seen that yet.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Half-Life Source needs to be available as a standalone purchase ><

My OCD says this as well.
I don't know what it is or why I'd want it, but it irks me that it's the one item in the HL collection I can't buy, especially viewing things with enhanced steam and having that gap in the green. :\

Firefox was my default browser until google owned me, now I have to use Chrome.

I changed to chrome to try it out when it originally released (full disclosure: I love google and want to like everything they do... but it's not always the case). Afterwards FF seemed slow and clunky in comparison. I now use Chrome for personal stuff and FF for work stuff. Separation of church and state, so to speak.

(To the Moon) Holiday Special Minisode

By Kan Gao on December 31, 2013

Heya folks. I spent the past month making this Holiday Special for those who enjoyed To the Moon, and I&#8217;m happy to say that it&#8217;s finally done! Here&#8217;s a mini-sode featuring Dr. Watts & Dr. Rosalene. c:

About Bastion and why it's good:

What makes it great? I have never played it and don't know much about it :0

My take on it for Steam:

Recommended
22.1 hrs on record
It would be another Calamity to miss out on this amazing game.

Wonderful story.
Amazing artwork and animation.
Fun and rewarding gameplay.
Phenomenal soundtrack.

Usually games don't live up to the hype... usually games fall short. For me, this game surpassed any hype and praise I'd seen for it prior to play and I can't recommend it enough if you're a fan of this genre of gameplay.

I tend to like it when TotalBiscuit does his WTF series on a game... so check it out here:

[Arthea]

Most concerning of complaints is lack of enemy variety. With same enemies over and over, the game will get old fast.

 

[Cheddahz]

I'm just going to put The Banner Saga on my wishlist and pick it up sometime down the road, I have too many games I need to complete anyways and I don't really have the time for a new game anyways

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-01-14-the-banner-saga-review

Preloaded and ready to go since last week. The review just makes me more excited to start the game.

From the review.

...the foolish gambit that saw a decorated warrior lost to the ignominy of freak accident. The crushing guilt of losing people to starvation because I purchased a trinket to protect a favoured archer in battle,

Here's hoping I can name people after gaffers. I gave my favored gaffers the food, weapons and armor - you must go naked and armed only with an unused spoon...
