From 289 games with cards to drop to just 8 left. Thanks jshackles for Idle Master, I'm almost done.

This platform chart on the current humble bundle is pretty amazing.

I like to imagine there are some Mac and Linux users buying that bundle just for DeadCore, the only game playable on those OS.

Then I imagine Pac-Man as a giant boss fight in Dark Souls.

Well, that's interesting. Heard the usage of that word for the first time ever in this game. Is it still used in Britain? Can't remember having it heard in Brit movies. Either way thanks for the info.

Heard in a lot of old war movies, common enough in Doctor Who, some historical dramas when they want they really want to state how "period" specific they are of the 1800s.

It's rather archaic because it's based off an old spelling, and most who still use it are of older generations now. So no, you really don't hear it in the U.K. or the commonwealth much any more simple because other militaries don't say it that way and of course American, French, Spanish, etc media.

yeah, but cell is just a processor that is irrelevant these days. Would Microsoft really pass on having the game on their platform(s) just because of a mention of a CPU that isn't at all meaningful these days?

And it's not that much of a deal on pc

now, how Snake controls the little metal gear, that's gonna need some work:

This screen made me wanna give Metal Gear Solid 4 another go. I completed it once, back at its launch in 2008, and I have never touched it since. It left such a sour taste in my mouth, and ruined my absolute favorite series, especially Sons of Liberty.

Back then, I were playing on a SDTV, because I were on vacation in Asia. So I'll give it another go now, and for the first time in HD. So far, I really love Act 1: Liquid Sun, and all of the cutscenes, atmosphere and music.

According to Nuuvem on Twitter buying Olliolli 2 was the cause of my My Games issues, so beware purchasing it into they get their bug fixed.

2 hours and 34 minutes until next round of REZero t-shirt voting beings. Or at least the the current round ends.

Man, I'd love a MGS collection on Steam.
I'd like to experience MGS4 at a decent framerate, even if it is the worst MGS story.
But with Konami being Konami, it's never going to happen now.

I see Beyond Eyes has released on Steam today. That's the game about guiding a young blind girl in exploring her world. Really interested in that.

The GB Quicklook kinda unsold me on it, gameplay was very basic and there wasn't anything interesting grabbing me.

Now you know how he can afford all those games.
There's a joke to be said about a Kirkland, Washington, USA created software being against jshackles

not sure if i should do this. i haen't put enough time into the vanilla experience.

do i do?

I think it depends on how you are playing now. One fault of the game is that in order to get the best mission scores, it's often easiest to play in a very repetitive and "cheap" way rather than really mixing things up. If you find that to be the case, I say the mod looks great to force challenge and different behaviour and thus get the most out of the game right away.
Otherwise, beat it without the mod first and then come back to replay it with the mod later on.
---------------------------------------------



This sounds like an amazing game.
A dark/sad/weird/funny first person exploration game. You play a man on his last night alive as he obsesses over a mysterious painting. More of a story game in that it emphasizes mood and character over gameplay. Takes ten minutes to play and has "next-gen" features like a shrimp tank.

Race the Sun is one of those Trials kind of games that I can only play for 10 minutes at a time before i have to put them down for the day.

Not the best course of action because the levels get randomly generated every day and it helps to learn them to level up to get upgrades.

Depends on how you enjoy these types of strategy games.
It's tough to make that call per person honestly. Both ways of playing the game are enjoyable, though for some people the vanilla balance hurts the game in their eyes (I didn't even notice, and I found the vanilla game quite enjoyable).

So, follow your gut. :p

Looks great but I think I'll have to play it vanilla to begin with but I'll surely try it out after my first playthrough.

Sure thing.

It's better than throwing my controller through the TV screen.

How weird, I never took it for a game you can get frustrated with while playing. It's more a zen-like experience about getting a little further. Or not, music and visuals are reward enough for me.

The Bridge is actually a pretty good puzzler, guys. If you don't have it, and you're up for a challenge, you know. Enter that Pakkidis giveaway up there.

At least, I enjoyed it. It's room based, not a platformer. Still.

Not even that challenging during the first play through, gets real hard only after unlocking the alternative levels. Which is when I gave up quickly.

Just started playing Fallout 3, and it's constantly crashing. Any solution ? It happens when I'm about to leave the vault.

I'd recommend installing the unofficial FO patch-mod, it fixes quite a few things and should be helpful, even if it doesn't fix it. :p
 
I just started Choice of Robots, which I bought on the premise alone without knowing much about it. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is, I always was a fan ofmake your own adventure stories and that's exactly what it is only with way more depth.

After an hour I went and bought 3 other games from Choices of Games, I'm totally hooked.

They're cheap and have a demo so if you're a tiny bit interested and got time on your hand go try it out!

Choice of Robot is on sale right now.

Thanks, I'll probably have to check out some Artifex Mundi games - I have so many of them and have only played a few. Last year I played Abyss: Wraiths of Eden (aka Bioshock the hidden object game) and it was pretty alright. I have all three Nightmare of the Deep games, I might have to check those out after reading SomeGuyInAHat's hilarious reviews of the series.

They're gonna be useful! I feel justified now!
