The shatter OST is so good. Easily one of the most overlooked.

Awesome, I keep hearing people say the only way to play is with a gamepad so I was hesitant to buy it.

Nope. I play it with a keyboard and I'm terrible at it. Yes...gotta be the keyboard. >_>
Where's the pic of every time improve protection? Always makes me smile.
Was playing Skyrim earlier, Annekke following me, we stumble upon some camp, then...like 8 townspeople + Annekke go to the edge of a cliff screaming obscenities and shooting arrows into the water below. Never found out what got em riled uup, couldn't find anything down there. Cthulu?

Can't find a concrete answer. But considering there's been no word either I bet revelations is the only DLC.
LoS1 told us ahead of time of all the DLC coming.
Are you asking where it's from?
Persona 4 the Animation (though a similar scene happens in the game as well).

The phrase is a reference to a member posting an image of someone trying to scam him a few Steam threads back (in the vein of Stearn Cornrnurity etc). It's somewhere.
Was hoping someone would post the pic of the scam email that the quote is from. I cry evrytme.
Damn... she's full synchro with the drum too.

Some of the best players in the world play on keyboard. If that's what you prefer, it's no problem at all.

I have watched more 10 minute loops than I care to admit.
That's just too good. His avatar works to add to it as well.
I'm an idiot. Completely misunderstood what was being asked.
I.... what... why am I watching this still?
oh yeah for some reason i thought it removed it from your library list
i think it did some time ago, maybe?
anywho, deleted, thanks

Some Persona games on steam would be so rad.
A controller is more convenient, I suppose. Whether or not it's the only way to play; that shouldn't be a problem unless you're not too familiar with a keyboard.

It's a jump scare but not really that bad. It's just the fox.

A quick review on 3 Stars of Destiny, which I finished today:
I didn't know going into this that the game was a prequel to the Laxius Force series, nor did I know that it was the most advanced installment of the bunch. I played 25 hours and finished it, but holy shit was the last stretch unbearable. I've played other Aldorlea Games works (The Book of Legends), but splitting your group into three parties to take on challenges separately felt fun and consequently rewarding in that game. Here, it was downright torture. I can't tell you how many times I had to reload because 3/4's of my squadmates were absolutely useless against the minibosses, even with optimal gear.
It's a shame, because the game was very fun and enjoyable up to that point. I was doing a completionist run and having a great time scavenging different relics and artifacts, trying out the Coliseum (and getting my ass kicked) and trying to finish as many sidequests as possible. But that ending just put a sour note on the whole thing.
One of the problems I have with the Aldorlea games in general is that none of them have a legitimate "fast travel" option. You do get one here, but only after you finish the main quest. It's so damn frustrating, because it feels like padding when you have to waste lots of time going all the way back to a location to trade in a quest or find more information.
Overall, I'd still recommend it for the majority of the experience. It's good enough on its own merits. I also tried to play the first Laxius installment (Laxius Power I), but the lack of an option menu or windowed mode (as well as loud, obnoxious music I can't turn off) has put me off completely. Yeah, I know it's freeware from 2001, but considering how much content is there, you'd think the developer could have a bit of brainpower and give options.

I thought it was suppose to, but it's been way too long since the last piece. Kinda a bummer too since I liked the campaign DLC quite a bit and wanted more.
As is typical for this style of video, the jump scare volume is way louder than the volume of the rest of the video. Bursting my eardrums is not the same thing as scaring me.

Goddamn gamefly. Got in on some of those Konami deals and because they flag my phone as prepaid i have to wait extra long or some shit for authentication.
edit; they just sent me some incident report where they have to "contact me" to verify stuff. Never shopping there again.

Luckily, 8000 souls isn't all that much, although it's a tough blow early on. Soon that'll be nothing to you.
But I know how demoralizing it is to lose a huge chunk of souls. I've been there many times, at least once in the exact spot you're in.

So i was thinking about something for a bit now, and since its slow, i'm gonna throw it out there: I was thinking about possibly hosting a Decathlon-esque event, involving the most popular of the Steam multiplayer games on here. The idea is picking a handful (or 10, if were specific to an actual Decathlon) of the best, most popular competitive multi-player games Steam has to offer, and competing for some cool stuff.
Now, my main question to pose is, what games would have to be on the list? Consider this a discussion of the best online. competitive games, and also a gauge in interest.

Speedrunners, Skullgurls, USFIV, KOF, and Sanic Racing has to be part of this.
I think most of steamgaf has at least played these with each other or expressed interest in some form.
I didn't care much for the DLC from the original game, but Revelations has gotten very positive feedback. The negative publicity and reviews pretty much killed this franchise, and I'll be bummed out if I enjoy it as much as the original.
Edit: Black Flag has been performing much better than I expected. 1920 x 1080 with everything on max, except AA, and I hover between 40-60 fps. Part III dipped into the 20s in Boston.

After giving up trying to remember the passwords to my 2 old EverQuest accounts (the emails tied to them are dead so no way to recover them unless I go through some annoying process) I made a new Station account and gave a try to Landmark.
The game looks kinda bad (ugly textures even at high and ultra) and performs like shit (even with everything at low it was only going at 40ish fps), the UI is annoyingly intrusive and I'm not exactly comfortable with the counter-intuitive feeling I got trying to build something up as I really disliked having to constantly click to remove voxels instead of, say, keeping the left button pressed to keep removing voxels, which is something that worked with the paint tool.
All that said, Landmark sucked me in for some hours while trying to give some initial shape to a mountain I claimed and that I'm trying to turn into a secret base of sorts.
I also explored a little bit, finding an intriguing place made out of ice and where you go up to the other planes through swimming in water. I found that to be an interesting decision by the person that though it up.
There would be something to say about the claim system as well, which forces a person to constantly log on to pay the rent (you can have up to 8 days prepaid but it's still something that forces a person to never take a real break from the game in my mind and as such, I dislike it) but at least in beta it's just paid in copper ore.

Would Tabletop Simulator work? Can't think of anything else that hasn't been mentioned.

I mean, anything works if it allows for competitive online. I was just trying to hive-mind the best games, or ones everyone owns. Even if we just did 5, and they were: Sonic Transformed, Speedrunners, CS:GO, USFIV, 100% Orange Juice, and then whatever else i'm not thinking off (Like Tabletop Simulator or more obscure stuff), just to start.
It was mentioned a couple pages back, but it's new, yeah.
Frozen Synapse? Lethal League also looks like something that would fit but that hasn't officially released yet.

Dota and TF2 would be good because they are free, which means basically anyone should be able to get into them. I mean, it definetely seems like a feasible thing to pull off. Question is, are enough people interested in actually doing it? If there is, i'll gladly set up rules, games, prizes, work out streaming for it. The works man. I think it would be really rad!
DMC has an extremely high completion ratio. About 50% of people have completed the game, generally that will be around 15 or 20%.
We have a NeoGAF game night specifically through SteamGAF that is very popular.
