to be fair to HB, Crimsonland and Neverending Nightmares for $1 was a pretty sweet deal earlier this week.
but yeah, a repeat bundle is a bummer

To get Rocket League, or not to get it...
Because I'm already renting it from PlayStation Plus. Though I have an urge to compete with Salsa.
Good thing your rental allows cross platform play then.

Good read, that clears up some confusion. Thanks for sharing.
No, that's not the thing.
I prefer playing at my monitor these days, instead of the HDTV.
So I installed DOTA 2, bought an in-game item, and then I deleted the game but it doesn't stay in my library?

I would get in on a copy of that.

broke down and picked up MGSV for $35. I just didn't want it spoiled for me. I'm weak.
are we friends on steam? I'll send you a copy later when I pick it up.
also, I'm not sure exactly how much time I'll have to actually co op but just in case you know? I haven't played a shooter in a long time.
...then just connect your console to your monitor?
You and your logic guys!
It's too much of a hassle. Oh well, won't be buying Rocket League.

I believe so, I might be going to bed soon so PM me your paypal account and I'll send the money before then.
35 where? Minimum I see on BST is 40.
I too am on the verge of breaking down, don't think I can dodge spoilers when it's out.

Well, since your statement said you wanted to "compete with salsa", the logical conclusion would be that you thought you had to buy it on PC to play against your Steam friends.
It's on me dude. I'm occasionally cool like this.

What's the cut for a slice of the 4-pack -- I might want a copy if you have a spare.

Oh wow, thanks a million! Definitely looking forward to playing it.

I do have an irl friend that I want to play this with as well.
Fixed it for you

That humble weekly bundle is too confusing for me to want to buy it. A mix of Steam and Ubi keys? No thanks. Just give me all Steam or all Ubi plz.
Probably already been posted, but Steam Spy posted an interesting article today on Steam demographics.
Some interesting notes.
Top 1% of Steam owners own a little over one hundred games each.
Top 20% of users own 90% of games on Steam.
Dota 2 users are essentially useless to the rest of the store.

Only game I really want from the new weekly is Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, but $7.50 is way too much for it.
Sigh.

i know people who go to my college that have steam and all they play is dota 2, they literally own no game on steam, just dota and they got like 300+ hrs depending on the person. i got one who has like 700 hours or something. It amazes me anyone can play 1 game that much, i envy them in a way, they can save money cause dota is all they need

Hard to believe that 1%, and that I'm in it handily.
Feels good to be in the top 1% for something

Started playing Fallout New Vegas again after a long hiatus. Holy shit why did I ever stop playing? This game is so much fun.
This quote from the Dota 2 OT says it all:

Finally finished Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches, concluding my multi-year play through of Dishonored and all it's DLC. I really liked the DLC, it's as good if not better than the The Knife of Dunwall, which I liked a lot also. They did a good job explaining Daud's motives and really put his character in a different light and ties into the main game really well.
That ive spended 366$ on dota 2 doesnt mean that im obsessed or anything, chill your base.
It is actually 20% of Steam gamers own 88% of games.
While that may not seem like an important distinction, the expectation is that generally 20% should have 80% of total items in that system - which isn't too far away from expectations but still a pretty important difference. That is more of a statement about how PC gaming is differing to other mediums right now than anything else
agreed. I hardly take the time to do dlc but I did for dishonored and I'm glad I did.
dishonored 2 can't come soon enough.
STEAM | September 2015 - We are the 1%
300? 700?
I don't think you understand how much time people can sink in MOBA.
I'm not even the biggest MOBA player and I have 1000 hours of LoL.
I imagine Zkylon has at least double that.

Yeah I can't wait for Dishonored 2, after playing the DLC it just reaffirmed how much I love the movement, abilities and combat in Dishonored, it's just so well done and feels great to play.

i know that but I just mean people that i actually know in real life, one of them brings his laptop to class just to play during the lecture, it cracks me up. I'm sure they'd play more if they could (hell they are as we speak) but we get so much homework that its hard to find the time to play

Y'all weak people! WEAK!

I am the
LOL Is actually very high-quality production. Dude is professional.
Top 1% of Steam users are job creators - buying games and creating income opportunities for developers.
Sure, that's one way to justify our compulsive manner of purchasing games without any immediate urgency/intent to play.

Still no impressions from anyone on Nazi Zombie Trilogy for solo play?
My face when I got Zombi from Nuuvem and realised it was a UPlay key

It's still listed as 'owned', but for some reason it disappears from your actual library when uninstalled, so you have to install it from the store. :|

Save money? Brother I know people who have spent thousands on Dota 2.
Dota 2 is very different from most other F2P games though, in that a huge amount of people buy a reasonable amount of microtransactions, instead of the game relying solely on whales.
I may or may not be a whale since I've probably spent somewhere in the range of $300 on the game throughout the years.
Anyway, 700 hours isn't necessarily that much either. At that point you're simply above average at the game, and not necessarily any good. I've 1642 hours clocked (atleast 200 of those spent watching tournaments, mind you) and I'm somewhere above 4000 MMR, which puts me in the top 5% (last time I checked the stats, I haven't in a while, mind.) yet... I'm not exactly great at the game. I'm probably outright "good", but not great or anything.
Dota is a weird beast.
Edit: Yeah, two of the guys I usually play with have over 2800 hours played, one is about a dozen away from 4900 hours and another Steam friend of mine is at a sky-high 12585 hours. Although to be fair, he lives off of making dota cosmetics, so I'd imagine half those hours are ones spent on that.
I believe those stats.
My brother and his group of half a dozen college buddies discovered and started playing dota1 around a decade ago in college.
They have among them on average 5000 hours played. With the more prolific ones in the 7-8000 hour range. They literally play nothing else.
Just hang out online after work and chat while playing dota. Its a lifestyle, I tells ya.
