Was it the wall on the last stage prior to the final battle? If so, the message is clear, you literally have to cheat by piling up stuff and clip through the wall, heh. 
That final stage is so mean but, ironically, the swimming stage was the one that made me pull my hair!

Been sick like a dog for the last few days and decided I wanted to play point and click games on a tablet without waiting for iOS versions because I didn't feel like getting out of bed.
Bought a windows tablet. I'm fully embracing the steam-on-a-tablet future. Gonna finally play through Gemini Rue as soon as it arrives.
Also, the few hours I've put into crysis 3 have left me impressed. The confrontations are a lot more open than they were in C2 and it looks stunning. Too bad this weird upgrade slot system is just bizarre.

So, I started playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. This was the highlight of that session:
I wasn't digging the gameplay, so I uninstalled it. Sorry, Lords of Shadow GAF.

DUDE!
I've been seeing extremely promising things about streaming to windows tablets lately. I was thinking of picking up a Venue Pro 8 pretty soon if it's as playable as it seems to be. I've seen videos of people playing Skyrim and Metro Last Light and it seems kind of mindblowing that such a thing is possible.
Please post impressions of how that all works out. Which games work best and all that.

I don't know which level but it was a similar idea.
you had to jump on a ghost to get above the wall.funny enough I didn't have much issue with the water level.

That's odd. Enhanced Steam is saying I have a coupon for Richard & Alice, but I don't see it in my inventory. Are the weekly deals like stealth coupons? Interestingly, it says the price will be $0.69, but when I add to cart it only shows the normal 66% off price of $2.03.
I'd gladly take that from you (?) but I've gotta put some money into PayPal first
Any hurry?

Divinity: Original Sin
Having already owned Siren's Call, I was able to fill out 3 of the 5 titles on offer strictly off of the $1 tier.
I looked at the trailer for Ravenwood and the production values looked pretty sharp. Now I'm wondering if it's worth it to dump another $5 into the pot for Ravenwood & Serpent Creek.
Thoughts?

I was so glad that you can ditch the male character for two female characters in Divinity Original Sin. I hate male characters who aren't sexy.

Well, I'm actually looking forward to playing games natively on the pad more than streaming. I've been reading up on pc games with touch modes and there are some interesting games with touch modes, like civ 5 and broken age. I'm really looking forward to trying out some point and click games that have no native controller support, too, because i imagine that touch will really shine in those games.
Regardless, the tablet comes with a keyboard essentially making it a netbook as well, so it'll be nice to have around whenever I need to handle some pc stuff on the go. I look forward to posting impressions soon enough!
Dudes,
this game is really fun for an Early Access title!
I love the minimalist art style!

It sucks how SR4 doesn't have all the clothes from SR3 in it, especially since it's the same engine. :/ I can't play as Aquaman anymore. D:

Yeah, the customization has decreased with each version, which has been pretty disappointing. That and overall length were my only real complaints about SR4.

They're not quite as good as Siren's Call but 2.50 per game isn't too bad and I don't think card prices will completely collapse.

Home for a while during my move. Going through storage bins, found about 85 old console games to sell. And even the stuff I'm not selling, I have a sneaking suspicion it'll never actually get removed from storage, just left to rot. I'm down to just over 500 retail games compared to about 1700 digital games (excluding mobile). It's the fewest retail games I've had since like 2005-2006.
The storage container full of CDs seems a little quaint at this point too.

Jet Gunner seems really nice, but everything seems like garbage. Jesus.
You wouldn't happen to have a Backlit Gameboy SP laying around (AGS-101) that you would sell me for cheap, because shipping to Brazil is so expensive, would you?

Hm, now that I'm done with The Darkness 2 (very fun game btw) I need something else to play alongside Tits, it's nice to have a completely different game to shake things up when going through something really long so I'm not playing the same thing for several weeks in a row.
Going through some games I've won thanks to the kindness of some fellow gaffers and I'm looking at Inversion and The Bureau. I'm curious to try both but The Bureau really has me intrigued. Decisions...

I would take you up on the offer but it seems that someone else beat me to it
Why aren't you keeping your kickstarter key? Are you planning to pick it up for a cheaper Russian price once it hits Steam or for some potential steam exclusive preorder goodies?

There's a question mark over whether or not there'll be a Steam DDE, so I'd rather not opt for the DDE tier just in case I'd be wasting my money (the goodies are useless to me if they're not going to be delivered via Steam). There's also a question mark over whether or not the game will be region-free/notably cheaper in Eastern Europe (e.g. Wasteland 2 is activation-locked), but that's a concern for Future Jase.

I was so happy when they announced the PC version, would've been a shame if it had stayed console only. The screen-tearing was really bad and the IQ didn't do the artstyle justice.
I remember seeing some really cool stuff in trailers and then being surprised by the really low review scores. Game seems to be pretty short, maybe I'll give it a shot first, thanks for the impressions.

Totally agreed.
I enjoyed Inversion in coop and had a good time with it on the 360. It's the perfect B game, absolutely worth it for under £5 and a nice time waster with a friend. Coop was really solid online too. Not sure how solid the PC version is in that regard.
Yeah, I doubt it will be region locked as Paradox is the publisher, but even if it is cheaper in Eastern Europe you'd probably be saving 3 keys at most, so maybe it would be smart to back it now for $20
Edit: Well, damn. It seems that the $20 tier is not available anymore. Will have to think about going for $25

I'm not 100% sure what it is but I know I need it
Great news. I've always wanted to play this.
Dudes,

The game is cheaper on the developers site, using HB widget (says it comes with a Steam key), half the price for Europeans folks.

Looks like I know who to play as now whenever I decide to get SR4.
Yeah, the cheapest you can back the game now is $35. I'd actually backed the Kickstarter during its funding period way back when, but I forgot all about it until the eleventh hour and consequently overspent on Steam the week my card was due to my charged, haha. In a way I'm righting a wrong by essentially pledging to buy the game twice.

Oh yay, this bit of Deus Ex: HR.
TYM mission, Zhao sounds the alarm and now I've got 15 twats trying to kill me. Need to determine my stealth approach to this, thinking a gas grenade lobbed from the vent might work. Always found this bit rather tricky.

It's a good thing that the combat in Divinity is Turn Based.
Makes playing with this possible.

HLTB is saying less than 7, it's fine, I've been tackling some shorter games as I make my way through Tits so this is ideal.
Allows me to make some good progress on my backlog while I savour Tits.
