Never heard of that expression. Does it mean making a mistake or actually getting a boner?
Thanks frost! Always seemed like a shame when coupons just invalidated after some time.
That's great to hear. Thanks for coming here. Never heard of Playism before. Having just recently discovered VN on Steam, I was bummed by how few the selection was.Hi everyone!
[...]awareness about Playism and Steam to developers that largely only sell at these events.
[...]We also have all these titles on Playism, for those who want the DRM-free option.
Playism is pretty popular with PC gamers in japan right now[...]
We're going to be adding to our Steam catalogue throughout the year, and we have a bunch of great titles that really have no peer on the platform.[...]
Hope you can bring more on Steam soon.

Two? Weak sauce. I got five of them plus three Chaos on Deponia ones. Thanks benevolent voucher-god.
General opinion is that the game starts okay and then gets constantly worse, especially episode 2.
PS They work with other discounts but are only valid for a week.

Should ArcheAge be on any interest? The banner art on the front page is pretty.
From what I've seen it's a generic MMORPG with boats. If you need something to scratch that itch, sure.
Huh, Free as in totally Free money.

The irony is Expendabros made me remove Broforce from my wishlist. It is ok I suppose... but it just doesn't do much for me.
Exactly the same thing happened to me. The game was just "eh". I sort of liked what they were going for, but you'd think that a game with that aesthetic would be far more exciting than it was.
I didn't end up liking it very much either. The combat doesn't really have any finesse at all and the levels are pretty uninteresting too. Not sure if it's just the Expendabros version or what, but I was surprised to find myself not liking it at all.
Didn't help that half of the Expendabros sucked. Gunnar is a pain in the ass to use.

1k customers served, 1k dishes and drinks made delicious! 1 star too. Things are getting real serious now with the soups and pizzas.
Non-premium users have shared bots and people would put carded Steam gifts in them. Then the bot would get banned with several users' items in it.
Even if bot account creation was automated I guess making one for every user is a bit too much to expect. That said the $50 for VIP is still great value if you do any trading, certainly better than whatever ridiculous monthly fee tf2outpost charges since it got bought by ZAM.
I know why the change happened, but I don't agree with existing donators being asked to move up to the $50 tier. I've no need to "subscribe" to TF2 Outpost, anyway -- I don't mind bumping my trades myself and I'll never have more than 10 active at a time.
I'm pretty sure the majority of games bought on Steam are either never played or booted up only once.
So, just beat Binary Domain and was honestly surprised by how much i actually enjoyed it. Obviously its lacking in the visual department with its lowly detailed environments and not so well designed animations but the shooting was fine and the story was interesting enough.
Still, I would have loved if they went a bit deeper about this technological singularity and what is life and what is supposed to separate an artificial life form from what we consider true life but overall i really liked the topic and setting of this game.
.
I also think it would have been a better game without these strange voice commands which i tried to use but had some issues with it. The banter with your comrades felt disjointed using the preset options and imo would have been better mass effect style, where Dan actually speaks after choosing an option and doesn't stay silent (but they obviously expected you to talk in his place).
Many of the Boss fights could also have been a bit more diverse instead of "shoot the glowy parts" but well, the encounters by itself were still good enough.
So after playing that strange tutorial level i was honestly expecting the worst but it turned out to be a good game after all

However, they lost me a bit at the hybrid topic ... even as someone who enjoys this stuff it was hard to swallow

if its anything like broforce then no. if you save more than one character, you will switch to a random one when you die
Yeah, I'm five missions in, and that it appears to be how it works. Which is not good.

In a way, that's quite scary.
Roughly 1 in every 3 games on Steam have never been played :/
That's pretty weird when you think about it.
Well, not when YOU think about it, but when a non collector does.

Incidentally, 37% is exactly half of what my unplayed figure is, although it'd be at least 20% higher if it weren't for cards.

and that's not counting games that are just idled for cards or people just loading up a game, messing around with the settings, and not returning to it possibly ever.
yeah, the number of games that are not truly played is probably much greater than that.
Well don't go thinking how many of the 63% that supposedly have been played were only idled for cards.

Not gonna happen.

While some seem better than others at first glance, I think the balance is still fine. You can definitely beat every level with every character.
The only level which is substantially easier with one character above the others is the very last one (easiest with melee, funnily enough).

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
I'm surprised that Source lasted this long without having a new version.
It's not indicative of any future plans other than an intention to move Dota 2 as a whole over to Source 2. HL3 and L4D3 exist, but the latter appears to be further along, judging from the little evidence we have.

people are hoping that all of this will eventually lead to a hl3 announcement.
people are gonna be waiting a longgggggggggggg time for that, whether source 2 is here or not.

People are excited that Valve are finally switching to a modern engine. Of course a lot of them do expect an upcoming announcement, but this is strictly for Dota UGC.

It had lots of versions. Some minor, some major.

There are leaks showing they are working on Left 4 Bread 3 and HL3
You know that particular game is not happening, better to accept it now than later.

There are loads of games in my library that I'll never play. Picked them up in bundles with other stuff. I also have some games that I played years ago and rebought when cheap on Steam thinking I might replay them in the future.

My plan is to invite all of you to my house only to lock you all outside, pointing and laughing through the window in-between chants of "I told you so! I told you so! I told you so!" I'll let you all in once the sun starts to set, though, as everyone knows the dropbears come out at night.

while im not the biggest vanillaware fan, the 3 hours or so that i've put into Dragon's Crown really make me wish there was a steam version. I mean, it's a freaking beat em up dungeon crawler, it was like made to be run at 1080p and with steamworks and some cards that actually make me money.

Don't do that to my poor heart
Considering they could be anime cards in that situation you could be swimming in money.
