So the CoD Definitive collection includes every damn thing available on Steam except Advanced Warfare.

And this 50% off is in addition to everything else that is 50% off. Now for a guy like me that doesn't own a single damn CoD, is this the time to strike or am I better holding off until the Winter sale?

Will get Evil Within and my pre-order copy for the giveaway winner that won my Evil Within giveaway a month or two back when I get home on September 2nd.

For those who are curious about the Season Pass (I know most probably aren't), it contains 3 upcoming DLC, the first is some mission packs where you play as The Keeper, aka Box Man. The other two are a two-part campaign featuring Julie Kidman, one of Sebastian's sidekicks in the main game. Features new enemies, locations, revisits with changes, and new cutscenes as a spin-off tale.

Very similar to Dishonored's DLC system, so sure it's a Bethesda thing.

Is it new for Steam to have a pop up message like the chat ones for when a game finishes downloading? Either I never noticed that before or it's new!

I can't wait to try out Sanic racing, but I might have to wait until tomorrow since it's late.

Prices definitely won't go down, but the definitive collection is a bit overkill even if you don't own anything there. No shame in something like starting with the modern warfare bundle and picking and choosing from there.

You don't need to do all that. Just the Woobox thing.

Man, so many, many bundles... I just bought 3 of them, went around to vote on some Greenlight stuff. Sometimes when I'm at work, this whole activity (checking bundles, voting or looking what's new) is becoming a game in and of itself!

I did a check and, hopefully, I actually cleared around 31 games this year so I'm seriously considering taking on the 52 games yearly challenge. If only to set a clear goal of trimming the backlog!

But, before that, I want to check out my last played games by date, does Steam provide that data?

edit: Holy crap and all the divinities, Steam reports I have 980 games?!?!?!? I wondered how did that happen, then I remembered: Steam sales, bundles, etc.

So assembled my top Steam backlog into list form. Looking real scary from here.

I think I will start with Bulletstorm as I am due for a reformat anyways to cleanse GFWL from my system.

If you click on a game in your library in Detail View, it will tell you when you last played it to the right of the play button!

Gone Home is really short and can be played in one sitting!

That is the best way to rid your system of GFWL. :X I'll looking foreward to when it's completely a thing of the past, if that ever happens.

Play through Shantae since it's on your list, the game won't take you more than a day or two, it's not very long at all. Also dat Morrowind replay. That replay put backlog clearing to a halt lol.


EDIT: Wait you haven't played Alpha Protocol before? Definitely do that before you ever do a Mass Effect or Morrowind replay, AP is most definitely worth it.

Persona 4 has kind of brought my backlog on all platforms to a screeching halt! Man, that game is long, but so good!

I don't think the SMT games will ever be coming to PC, which is a shame.

I've almost finished up Human Revolution: DC, so I can finally strike that off mine. I have a Dragon Age: Origins save I'm a few hours into that I need to get back, but right now for gaming, Elite's been the game that's taken up my time. The problem right now is that recently I've been marathoning the Simpsons, so if I'm playing a game, I'm not wanting to pick one that's really story or dialogue heavy, but I dunno, I really should get this into a more rigorous schedule or something. Just having a wee minor ramble at almost 5am, the life of an unemployed student.

I don't think they ever will either, but that doesn't mean I'll ever let the hope that I have die :D. Some SMT games like Strange Journey and SMT I and II would be perfect style for PC considering they are pure first person dungeon crawling. Persona games are usually very long though and I do like one playthrough and I'm done with those games for life. Atleast the mainline series doesn't take as long to beat haha.

Are there any Atlus games on PC? I don't recall any. Would be cool to see SMT games though.

Oh lol, Persona 4 has been in my backlog since the PS2 version and at this point, I have the Vita version lying in my backlog (will be stuck there until I buy a Vita).

lol it's like he never even tried to talk about Steam and just did the whole begging thing and thought what was wrong about it. I mean honestly... how hard can it be to talk about Steam, thousands of games, many released each day and new bundles all the time, always something to discuss around here

I wish they would bring the port to android or Steam. I mean it was a port of the PS1 version of SMT1 wasn't it?

Replayed Golden recently and ended up playing nothing but it for around a week. 54 hours to beat and get every social link! Of course I had played it twice by that point so I remembered how to manage time and what responses not to pick. Always nice when a game can grab you like that though. Sadly I doubt we will see any SMT games on steam, good portable games though.

Of course I only had that time because I'm about to start a new job. Going to have to move in a few weeks for it which will be its own hassle. Need to finish as many games as I can!

The GBA version actually.

Yeah I even told him in PMs after I had given him terraria how to go about actually getting games and he didn't listen.
Granted we probably would have found out about him sooner or later, but he would have had awhile with none of us the wiser.

All-Stars Racing Transformed is the first Sonic game I've played since Sonic 3 and Knuckles! :X

It's so fun, though!! I did not expect Beat and the Monkey Ball guys to be there, lol. I wish I could change the controls!

Edit: Oh, you can change the controls! \o/
