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.

Mad props - he even picked a lot of really long RPG games like Breath of Fire and Bravely Default. I need to get in on this action, maybe in a couple of weeks when my life settles down some.

Hey guys. In courtesy of the release of the final episode for The Walking Dead: Season Two, a free copy for a lucky member from this awesome SteamGAF community!

Enjoy as these were given to me by a friend and I'm passing them along. Good luck.

I should add that the games are Pixeljunk Eden and Legend of Grimrock. In no particular order.

Christ man, I haven't completed 52 games in my lifetime. And to think, we're only rolling into September. Lots of time for him to complete much more. I tip my hat to you.

I'm going to add all mine up at somepoint. I think I might have actually hit 52 already.
But I still add to my backlog cause I dont give a shit.

I'm on my 7th game this month and the only purchase of a new game I made was a copy of the darkness for the ps3, just because I want to finally do a full playthrough before I play part 2 on the PC. That leaves me +6 for the month, and I still have a few more days to make that seven. Stuff like binary's effort makes it even easier to sit back and not add to the backlog. Congrats, duder!

Jaw, don't ever go seagate. It's the only drive that's ever busted on me and they're known for their flakey drives. Do samsung or WD or anything but seagate

He's right Jawmuncher, avoid Seagate at all cost, my HDD startied dyring one me right after the 3 year warranty period, was slightly pissed at the time as I was really broke at the time and had to backup 500gb onto DVD's

EDIT: Also get something better than a 750ti, unless you plan to replace it in two years time.

Looks good to me, pretty solid build for the price. As previously stated, I wouldn't get a Seagate drive, though (I have a WD Caviar Black, myself, works great). Also, I definitely recommend you consider getting an SSD for your OS, it truly makes a world of difference.

Not a huge fan of that case personally, the one I got my current build and I wish I didn't cheap out on it.

JK that's actually a pretty awesome build for under 600$!

Thanks for the input guys. I switched the HDD out.
Its not for me but a friend. it's supposed to be a school computer but I wanted him to be able to game with us decently enough. I'll ask him if he wants a different case. Hes more about all the room over the SSD though.

I think the 750ti will be good enough for him now. He's more than accepting of playing stuff on lower setting already if need be.
Plus telling him to upgrade later will be easier if the entry price is under 6.

I have a 750 ti right now and I can play everything at max.
(ok... I don't play Crysis 3 or things like that)

I pretty much got fed up of super huge graphics card that take like 60% of the space inside my case.
I quite like my 750 ti. It's quiet, small and while I have a powerful PSU, according to the spec, you don't really need that much for it.
Plus it was cheap as dirt on Neweggs when I got it.

If you're okay with playing on medium settings I think 750ti is alright. I'm rocking a 620ti and I play my games at medium or something and get above 30fps most of the time. Though I do admit I plan on upgrading but thats mainly because my bro wants to build a gaming pc for himself and he doesn't work so I figured I'd save him 1 of the more expensive parts and just give him mines and get me a new one until he has the cash to buy himself a better one.

I have a 750ti and have to say I'm really pleased with it. I can't play at Ultra or anything but it plays everything well on high and performs better than the XBONE so I think it should last the generation if your friend is realistic about the settings. For the money its a great card.

This is actually gonna be his forst foray into PC Gaming.

Same here! This is the first time I bought a graphics card so I might be more forgiving, but coming from consoles I'm loving it. He should like it then.

I've been getting a crazy amount of friend requests from people who aren't friends with any of my friends. That's an instant red flag. I've got that many of Steam-GAF on my friends list that its highly unlikely you're adding me and aren't friends with any of them.

its a pleasant game, mostly for its visuals and music. don't ask me about gameplay because i'm still figuring that part out.


made this giveaway a little more restrictive because of that weirdo junior from earlier, i guess you can thank him.

Great game. Pretty hard though. If you didn't play similar games back in the day, you might have some learning curve to get over.

I did play a bit of Might and Magic III back in the early '90s but never completed it. Hopefully, I'll get in the groove and enjoy LoG to the end.
