it must be mistake, it is GOTY, clearly

I thought your GOTY was RE6?

 

[MRORANGE]

Thank you for doing it this year. I personally think you should do it after the winter sale though, next time. I know my votes would be different. People pick up more games during the winter sale, and some people might get more time to play them during the holidays.

Yeah, for sure the next voting won't take place until the Steam Winter 2014 are done and dusted.

Can't wait for HALO 3 to win next year.

Yeah going past the level 1 badge isn't advisable if you weren't planning on spending actual money on them (and really, why would you?)

I.. I want that steam e-cred ;_;

 

[Crab Milk Mickey]

I suppose it would feel less like bad luck if I were smart/good enough to avoid bad situations. But I can't count the number of times I've made a small mistake that ended up in my death because of the tendency for events to quickly snowball out of control due to the way everything interacts with everything (which is one aspect I really like, but also can make a level feel like a Rube Goldberg machine of pain at times). Those situations, to me, often feel like luck because the random placement can mean the difference of the same mistake leading to either a single heart loss or total death because five random enemies, a couple arrows, and a shopkeeper are all bearing down on you since they all happened to be in near enough vicinity to be alerted at the same time (which is why I wish the game had a more forgiving invulnerability window).

Anyway, Spelunky is definitely a good game. I don't completely get the all the adoration for it, but I can definitely see that the core gameplay is very strong. But even as a Demon/Dark Souls vet I think it borders on too punishing for me to ever make much progress in it.

To be fair, everyone has had one of those "Rube Goldberg machine" moments and it adds to the hilarity, but at the same time it strictly encourages players to be very mindful of their surroundings.

Still not something that's heavily luck-based though, since 99% of those can be entirely avoided or negated with the tools presented to you. Even a simple rock might suffice if a mere arrow trap triggered one such chain reaction.

Speaking of badges, I restarted steam this morning and was happy to see two inventory notifications!

Umm, thanks Valve. So now what? (no they don't actually show up in the inventory).

It's weird that the progress doesn't go away after the cards expire.

I do want to craft the second badge for Super House Of Dead Ninjas. I can't present "trainee" as my favourite badge in a profile, it doesn't do the game justice when I recommend it to others.

Hopefully I won't have to spend any money on that. So far I've gotten by with good will from others and a couple of trades.

 

[Nabs]

I have a million badges crafted thanks to http://backpack.tf/cardswap and http://www.steamcardexchange.net/

So you can't trade? That's lame.

The cards probably expired the second they were added to his inventory after being delayed from the sale. The Gaben giveth, the Gaben taketh.

Someday I shall get a foil, someday I shall get a booster back,

Have gotten a foil, but they were one-offs. Prefer the old way of getting badges, as they didn't require buying stuff off the market. But, then, that's probably why Steam changed things. They want people to get used to buying stuff off the market.

If you have any ideas on what you would prefer to happen in the next poll, send a PM. I will add it to the list.
Personally, I would prefer these changes next time:

• Poll to run between late December/January instead of early December.
• Steam GOTY Award to have it's own thread (unlikely to happen).
• Somehow make the voting more automated and less time consuming.
• Users must submit a 'mini-reflection' of their GOTY.

I think voting should start on the second week of January or so and extend until the end of the month. That way people get to play the stuff they bought on the Christmas seal and munch a bit on their opinions of those games. Having a mini-reflection / short opinion for their GOTY also sounds like a cool idea.

 

[Atraveller]

Why are they added in the first place?

 

[Turfster]

Derp, I misunderstood.
Maybe he bought stuff on the last day and went over the 10$ limit twice, but they didn't get added due to the DDoS? Or he wasn't level 5 yet?

No to all of them and I certainly didn't buy anything on the last day! (stupid price gouging).

I was all up to date with cards and they just kind of appeared. New account time :|

Just clocked Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Fucken amazing.

Took me almost 6 hrs to clock and is better than all the other $60 'AAA' FPS crap out there. Gameplay was awesome, music is excellent, voice acting was top notch, heck even the story and the way it was told is fantastic.

I honestly can't believe it costs $15 for the production values it has and at that price its a steal, i paid $5 myself and that is highway robbery.

5 out of 5.

Please don't joke like that though.

That is fantastic to hear. After I finish up Infinite's DLC, I'm going to start up CoJ.

It would be amazing if this is true, like they launch it a day before the GFWL servers close or something.

SteamGAF, I have to ask, is there any games on Steam with a funnier cutscene than this?: http://youtu.be/g2Eu2u_cSVs

If so, I'll need to take a look at it.
Edit: Fixed cutscene link, copy-paste fail.

It would bomb, then MS would say "Why didn't anyone buy our ports??".

I think they have learned their lesson due to the fact they have shut down GFWL and seen the massive success of Age of Empires, Fable and their other published games on Steam.

Man, the flying bundle got extended for 5 days.
Another bundle that won't end.

Still debating on Skulls of the Shogun. Any impressions?

Something similar happened to YianGaruga after the summer sale. (Also DukeBobby.)

...

...uh, that's all I got. /shrug

 

[jaundicejuice]

Why is that?

My habit is to only have games installed if I'm playing them. I uninstall them once they're beaten or I've lost interest in them. With Wolf Amoung Us, I may simply wait for the game to be complete before re-installing it.

Someone would need to make a version of this GIF with GFWL appearing from the coffin in front of a shocked Steam, Origin, etc.:

I got it free from apple's app store a few weeks ago, didn't play it.

 

[GuardsmanGreg]

Woo Rogue Legacy won GOTY! It's not Volgarr but i'll take it. Props to MrOrange for all the work he put into the whole shindig.

That was pretty great.

Spoiler

At first i was just like "Oh I can see how this is kind of silly and cheesy." Then the gas-mask dude busted in like Terry Crews in an Old Spice Commercial.

 

[The_Monk]

Decided to watch a bit more of gameplay of Rust from some Streams and I'm getting really interested in the game. I hope they can improve it much more.

I mean, grabbing some food in the wilds then come to the house you built, light your bonfire and get some rest sounds nice.

Armed and Dangerous had some hilarious scenes from what I recall. Plus it brought us the Land Shark Gun.

Any idea why my Achievements notification on the bottom right corner doesn't popup/display anymore? I'm still earning them, but they don't show anyone the moment I receive one. I've checked my settings and did some research online and I can't find a solution.

Card prices seem to have jumped now that the sale is over. For everything. WTF?

Some of them don't work too well with the gameoverlay and don't display them.

Is it possible that you may have disabled the pop-up? Or it isn't possible?

Seems like all games aren't showing them anymore.

They're fools not to have hired you already. Has anybody else contacted you to try and snatch you up?
