I hope we do a special PC OT for Dark Souls II

Be prepared your dream for a good PC port of Dark Souls 2 is about to be shattered! Nah, I'm kidding I really do hope it's a good port with all the fancy lighting effects but I don't have much faith in From.
 
Nice work on the new thread, it looks great.

I'm going through the Arkham games right now, i juggled with getting Origins but caved before the weekend deal finished, and i got the season pass too, if it's as buggy as the console version i'll just have to grit my teeth and get on with it.

I do need to upgrade for the release of Arkham Knight though.

PayDay 2 is getting some massive free updates

also this was pretty good

Heisters,

It seems that the police together with Gensec have gone all out in their efforts to stop us from heisting. Below we share the little information we've gathered from these new enemies.

Introducing the Mirror Shield
Using the latest Gensec developed L.I.N.K. technology, the new Mirror Shields will be able to reflect any projectiles that are shot at them. Also, trying to melee the shield will make you melee yourself.

I need to get back to it

Namco PR rep came out and said all the screens on Steam were direct from the PC version, they also removed all those screens from the reveal in April and TGS.

So don't hold your breath on fancy lighting. Solid port? I would say it will be.

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.
For those new to Steam, how big is the summer sale?

It is the stuff of legends. You can expect almost everything in the store to be 50-75% off (or more). Of course, it's up to the publishers so there are always exceptions (like basically, anything by Activision) but it's generally best to plan on having some money on hand and picking up enough games to last you until the Winter sale later in the year.

Traditionally, each day will yield 8-12 new "daily deals" where the discounts are even higher than normal. It's like having a coupon apply to something on clearance, and it's all together wonderful.

It's insane. Last summer was my first Summer Sale and it's crazy. Sales all day, every day. Watching the Steam thread freak out when a new batch of sales starts, waiting for your favorite games to get a huge discount, waiting for your prefered Communty Choice to lose to some other game. It's awesome and your wallet and backlog will hate you for months to come

WHOA.
Need to clean my backlog.

my personal take is unless you have absolutely nothing to play and want to buy something then obviously buy something if it catches your fancy during the summer sale. If you can wait until the winter sale, there usually is some type of meta game which also includes incentives for buying stuff on the store.

queso thanks for interstellar marines

had good luck today

also tried that final exam game i got. weird game, kinda like a singleplayer/coop version of that game from the magicka guys or maybe like a sidescroller l4d? i dunno, playing it on my own is kinda unexciting but sounds like it might be a bit better with friends if classes and weapons get varied enough

PayDay 2 is getting some massive free updates

I need to get back to it
yea i keep telling myself i gotta play some payday 2 again and end up reinstalling it and after a few weeks of having to download what it feels like a million patches i just shut it down again

i heard they reworked stealth and whatnot but

Just got two coupons:
75% off Skulls of the Shogun
75% off Flotilla

Anyone want them? Skulls of the Shogun is really fun. $3.74 is a great price.

Man. It's so hard to talk about Goat Simulator without spoiling it. I'm going to have to hold off :(

"Snowy"

Merely a guise for a support for white supremacy.
So are you implying Tintin is racist and that black guys in his comics are depicted as being utterly stupid?

I think you are crazy!


I love Tintin, it just wouldn't be the same if Congo guys were smart :p

Yeah, there's a reason the Congo and USSR books never got adapted for the TV series :p
And the USSR one was never released in color. In fact, I only found out it existed when I went to download the books that my dad's collection is missing. It doesn't even appear in the list of comics that's featured on every book.

I'd love to get a physical copy of the ones I don't have, though sadly I haven't seen them in any library. Maybe I should try to track down some used copies on the internet...

For those new to Steam, how big is the summer sale?
How big it is? Well, know that when I bought my first Steam game back in July 2012 (Max Payne 3) from Amazon I wasn't planning on buying anything else. Summer Sale started less than 2 weeks later and I ended up spending close to 100 bucks (though a part of it was spread between GMG and Amazon too). So yeah, they are big. Pretty much everything is discounted.

not to mention that hilarious banned ussr book where tintin finds out that in russian factories workers are actually burning books instead of manufacturing crap

but hey racist or not captain haddock was a true man
