I'm trying to build up enough games that have cards to use that idling program haha. I remember idling almost 100 games prior to the sale to make enough money to get games for "free".

Which leads me into my next question - what is a good price for Yaiba from a Russian? It doesn't seem like it's a popular game to sell.
 
I just beat it, and understand it. It's not good. The last levels are just the worst.
Oh, ok, wasn't sure you finished it or not by your post :p

On an unrelated note, finally finished Braid today. Excellent game, but i'll never try that Speedrun achievement, screw that. some puzzles are somewhat luck based, so no. Has Jonathan Blow reveal what exactly the plot was about, in the end?
 
Made it halfway through Shovel Knight, game is fantastic, i'm sad i've been sitting on it for so long.

The hat boss was so stupid in the best way
 
Wow, E.Y.E sucks. Never play it.

That's 3 awful games in a row for me.

I was about to say.
But then you said you finished it.
So I believe you.

Playing random co-op MP matches is fun. I put 10+ hours into the game just on that. Never got far into the campaign.
I actually enjoyed that it didn't make any sense though, it added to the surreality(yep I made that up).
 
Oh, ok, wasn't sure you finished it or not by your post :p

I thought it'd take longer to beat, but the levels are super tiny. If you know which way to go, you could get through it in an hour.

Thanks for the heads up. What were the other 2?

Assassin's Creed 4 and Mafia 2.

Not arguing E.Y.E. is a good game, but I kind of doubt your claim here.

No clue about the story. None at all. But I understand the game's mechanics.

I actually enjoyed that it didn't make any sense though, it added to the surreality(yep I made that up).

In medias res in an abstract story with poor to average translation is 2surreal4me.

I hope Deus Ex does not disappoint as my next game.

Spoilers:
You aren't trying to save a princess. You are the creep, stalking the girl, and a psycho who can't deal with reality.

There are other silly over interpretations of minutiae, but that's the gist of it. I'm assuming you mean this in particular, and not some other aspect of the game's plot.

FOUR chances at Transistor?

DLH.net is giving away Enclave and East India Company Gold for every user. No need to make account, login via Facebook possible.
You don't get keys though, games get added immediately to your account.
I see Caerith and Madridista have East India on their wishlist. Hopefully they see this.

Funny thing. East India Gold from there has appid 254000 which leads to nowhere in Steam.

Finally the site isn't lagging too much to grab East India. Both games are still available from what I can see.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
I was never a big fan of Bastion's gameplay, but I want to play Transistor just for its art.

Edit: OT:
I'm going to see the Grand Canyon on a chopper the day after tomorrow, can't wait!

If you ever get the chance, you should hike down into it sometime. Seeing the Havasupai falls is just... breathtaking. Its a nice and moderately difficult hike too.

A bunch of good games that are still available since yesterday. How original...

Braid completely blew my mind with it's story and the way it told it. Really unique, and one of the few games that has stayed with me despite my terrible memory.

Oh, that i thought was sorta obvious. I mostly meant the minutiae stuff then. I remember reading about some interpretations some years ago like
Tim created the atomic bomb
and Blow going on forums and sites to say those interpretations were wrong :p

Totally agree. That
twist on the last stage, with you realizing the whole stalker stuff, seeing that the knight was actually saving her was excellent.

East India Gold and Pirates of the Black Cove Gold were uploaded for a Bundle Stars bundle last year. Both had retail releases in 2012, but for whatever reason TopWare didn't bring them to Steam until prodded and as you've noticed they're still not up on the Steam Store itself.

I don't think there's much reason to use those since battles will get easier if you die continuously I think.

Looks like the next clue in the Be Mine Bundle is chemicals so I'm guessing Sokobound or Spacechem.

I'd like Sokobound, since I have Spacechem, but Spacechem would make a nice giveaway, too.

That does seem kinda silly, but I guess Easy is easier than Low?

wut.

which game is that?

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
 
I didn't know there was a difference between giving away games via keys and via Modbot. So Modbot will give away the keys for you automatically?

Yup, you just PM the keys in the format described to ModBot, quote the post ModBot sends you and post in thread, and then wait it out until someone claims the game or raffle is over.

i'm not answering because your confusion amuses me

sorry lol

no, like

you go to the quest board

and there are like tons of quests with different time limits and difficulties. two such difficulties are "low" and "easy". which sound to me like pretty a bad way of ranking lol

No, he's left all that stuff open ended, open to interpretation and so on. I doubt he ever had a grand secret meaning, and I'm glad he didn't try to lie and say he did.
