In the past they blocked everyone who isn't Czech from completing the purchase. Wait, that was muve.pl but the same will probably happen here.

When we are playing: Estimate Time
A quick reminder that we'll be playing some DOTA2 tonight. If you're up for it, send me a PM or reply in the Games Night thread.
Newbies/beginners are more than welcome.
Yeah, hence the warning.
Not so much region locking on the games (which I think they aren't), but shop region locking.

Played some matches of Screencheat, and it's a pretty fun intense shooter. Awesome concept, but man, do you feel exhausted afterwards. It really wears you out, I only played against one other screen/player and while you get the feeling you kind of needed more players to fully enjoy it I just can't imagine having to deal with 3 other screens to cheat on.
And yeah, I'm one of the honest Goldeneye player. I never screencheated. Although it probably had more to do with me being bad at it rather than upholding some kind of code.

Yep the ending cameos are the best part.
On a related note I'm still amazed that downpour didn't come to PC but homecoming did. Downpour was UE so it couldn't be a hard process to port it over. Konami gonna konami I guess.
I considered entering it, but then I'd probably win it, and I'm less likely to play it in the near future than whoever does win. So It's probably better that someone else takes it.
dude....ALWAYS enter your own giveaways
A game I'll probably never play, hopefully someone does and enjoys it.

Man, Mount your friends is such a weird game...
Holy shit, anyone who's playing TitS, substitute the main battle theme by this arrange
Game is just 100% more awesome after that (link to the OGG can be found in Steam forums for the game).

I'm always busy or playing another game when everyone wants to play 100% fun :/
That reminds me of what Silent Hill Homecoming could have been :|
The whole Elle was supposed to be Laura from 2 and putting on James Sunderland's jacket, Heather showing up at some point, and Alessa showing up for a "super saiyan battle over Toluca lake" would have been awful. I can't believe that Tomm Hulett actually did something good for Silent Hill by stopping that from becoming a thing.
Whoa. Why haven't I heard of this before? It's so good :O
which game is animu girl from?

Did you like... not read and your eyes just jumped to the waifu? lol He says it in his post. It's from Ys 1.
Ys 1. When you open the config menu her portrait pops up on your screen.
Unless you are referring to my wallpaper, in which case that's Red from Transistor, and not technically animu.
Oh yeah? Prove it by winning the giveaway!
I was gonna say "How far have you gotten in Volgarr?" but I see that you don't have that. We'll see about fixing that when the next sale rolls around.

Silent Hill Revelations is crappy but I guess at least visually interesting and bad in a way it's so dumb it's kind of stupid fun. However, it's probably the single worst thing to come out of the Silent Hill franchise, and a disappointment for me as while the first film wasn't perfect by a long shot, it had a few cool moments and at least seemed to have a bit of understanding on the material it was based on. The sequel got a new director, who seems to have no idea what he's directing and most of the scenes can be attributed because he thought 'it'd look cool.'
Konami, and another bet is because the developers of Downpour went under not too long after its release. A shame, while a lot of people think Downpour is the worst game in the series, I think it's extremely underrated, and actually had a good amount of fun playing it. It's also probably the closest thing consoles got last generation to an old-school horror game.
But probably Konami being Konami as said, the engine ports fairly easily to PC.
Silent Hill: Otherside of Life or Silent Hill 1 campaign?

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.
So I got to spend some time playing The Treausres of Montezuma 4 this afternoon. I can honestly say this is one of the best "match 3" games I've ever played. It's still on the Weeklong Deals sale for the next 18 hours for $1.74.
The game starts out like your standard "match 3" - match as many gems as you can, as fast as you can, to score high enough to move on to the next area. You'll soon start to notice a bit of a difference though - as each level has a time limit to get either gold, silver, or bronze on the level. At the end of the level, depending on how well you did, you gain experience points and gold. Gold can be used to purchase permanent upgrades in the in-game shop.
A unique spin on the genre comes from the "totems" that you can unlock in the shop. By matching that totem's color twice in a row, it does something special. For example, the red totem uses fireballs to eliminate random gems, the blue totem has an electricity move, the orange totem adds more time, etc. You can even "level up" these totems by purchasing the upgrades in the shop. Upgrading a totem increases their potency - like upgrading the red totem makes them go from destroying 6 gems to 10.
There are also multiple game types. The majority are like "Bejeweled" but there are also puzzle levels that are unique: some are like Jewel Quest where you have to clear a gem in each square of the board. There's another type of level where you have to capture these frogs that jump around from gem to gem. Another puzzle mode has you "clearing" a path for a river to reach a flower. Overall I think it's a good variety for a game like this.
I feel like the game has a good feeling of becoming more powerful as you move forward. I imagine by the end of the story mode you'll be able to completely dominate the gem board and get some really awesome combos.
If you are even remotely interested in match-3 games, be sure to pick up The Treasures of Montezuma 4 while it's still on sale. $1.74 is a steal for this game.

To whoever takes this, your character only jumps/rolls between two different points, and there's no "analog" movement, fyi.
It seemed really decent from what I played, but that definitely threw me off as I was expecting something different.

Otherside of Life. Part 2 is waaay too long.
SH1 campaign seems pretty long too (it's like 11 parts I think), but I still haven't beat it.
September is a great month for games, if you find anything you like to recommend give me a shout.

The cards were selling for a reasonable price too.
yep. Every time I have 15-20 minutes to waste I boot up the game. It literally takes less than a minute after I click play on my library to be in a match.
