Funny thing about Shovel Knight soundtrack is that tracks by Manami Matsumae (Mega Man composer) aren't even the best of the bunch. It's funny because that was a big hype point before the game was out. They're solid but I think overall Jake Kaufman is behind the best tracks.

Shovel Knight easy. Not only did it capture the 8bit midi rifts that I associate with Capcom and Konami classics like MegaMan and Castlevania it also did it's own thing and added to the world of Shovel knight.

I mean Strike the Earth is freaking awesome!

Yeah that was hell of a track to kick off the game. Probably the best possible way imaginable. Damn I loved that game. I'll definitely return to it once they get the content patches out. It worked well on 3DS too I have to say.

Got a 90% off coupon for Knightshift that expires on the 24th but lo and behold, there's a week-long deal for 86% off. So i can't use the coupon and can't give it away and it's useless anyhow when the game is 86% off off the bat.

Also Pillars of Eternity is way more prettier in person than any footage I have seen before.
That's good to know cuz the recent footage hasn't been that impressive. Not awful, but not nearly reaching the promise of the environmental shots we'd seen earlier on.

I just played two hours of Spintires and I must say that the game is really fun in a special kind of way...

Well just when I think my September spending is done details emerge of what's included in the Wasteland 2 Ranger Edition.

Urgh if this has a Steam key I'm going to cave in.

I haven't even checked if this is available on 3DS in europe yet. I really do need to crank out the last level and mop up the achievement before the extra content drops. Though I'm swimming in games I've started but not finished. I think I've got problems :(

Yeah everything I had seen previous didn't look that great a leap forward from mid 2000's 2D isometric CRPGs. I do still think though that if someone isn't a fan of that kind of style of game they aren't going to get as much out of it in a visual sense than people with lots of misty eyed nostalgia for the likes of Baldur's Gate and Torment.

There's a few high res pic in the beta thread but really seeing the game in motion is even better still.

The Mountain uses over 60% of my CPU resources... pretty good for a game/screensaver/thing thats supposed to run just in the background or on a second monitor :p

Jesus, even Spintires didn't use nearly that much

Transistor has a great OST, to the point where I'm tempted to actually buy it rather than just listen to it on YouTube, especially now that they've added all the hummed/distorted songs to the soundtrack.

I do expect Hotline Miami 2's OST to blow it away though.

Transistor gets my vote this year so far as well .

"Beasts of Prey - a new survival sandbox MMOFPS! Hunt Dinosaurs, craft items, build massive structures and create your own empire in a procedual generated game-world that grows with server population."

Looks good and the concept I've always wanted for a Dinosaur Game. The forums are very positive for Early Acess as well.

Pretty tired of all these Early Access Rust and Minecraft clones. Not saying that they are bad games but it seems that developers are rushing to put out their unfinished WIPs on Steam just because games of the particular genre sell like hotcakes at the moment

How is this any different from Stomping Lands besides SL is 3rd person?

Its modern day for one which to me is huge.
Also it's getting updates still as Stomping Lands is frozen ATM for a change to a new engine.

Gameplay wise I don't know. Haven't played either since I'm still a bit weary on early access.

Can I look down and check my boobs in Beasts of Prey?

Only Trespasser deserves that honor.

There definitely are a lot at the moment.
Though for this and stomping land having dinosaurs I cut them a break.

Welp, I had a good run being rats free. I knew I had to stop playing XCOM eventually but I never thought it would end like this.

Thanks Jawmucher!

Given the sheer glut of them we have I'm surprised at how little of them are finished! I can only think of Minecraft and Don't Starve :/

out of this thread
how legit are this offers ?
http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap/comments/2dyg4y/h_windows_781_standardpro_office_2010_2013w/
seems very cheap , it look unreal

Most of them are people who have access to discounted or free product (IE from MSDN or various enterprise licensing arrangements) illegally reselling the keys. It's very unlikely the keys would be revoked, but not impossible. I bought a Win7 Ultimate key from a service like this circa 2008 ("$40! What a deal!") and in about 2010 the key was revoked. Thankfully by that point I had access to keys for free through educational stuff, but still super annoying.

Lovely Planet goes from amazing to mediocre so quickly I still can't believe it. Just what were they thinking? They got rid of good things and amplified bad. Just why. Why would they do this? I really hope the last world is better.
 
It's already out, huzzah. Time for lesbians.

Hello everyone, we are glad that Shan Gui (Sweet Osmanthus) is out of beta period and out now.
Due to technical issues, Linux users can not unlock achievement at present, I will keep looking at these.
And for now, English translation may have some small glitches such as grammer, the game will keep updating until issues get solved.
Thank you for your interest on Shan Gui, I hope you could enjoy it!
Very curious about the translation haha

Why? Because of the difficulty in the swamp? World 5 is not easier.
