Wait, Phil Fish is racist? I thought he just said that Japanese games suck.

Some japanese game fans can't understand there's a difference. Phil was right about that statement too even though he said it in the most dickish, forum-type way at a professional event.

But being a dick is not the same thing as being a racist.

Games owned: 1003
Games not played: 852 (85%)

Account worth: $11344.10

Not bad for now having my Steam account active for two years (I didn't start using it really until the Winter Sale of 2011). My Steam goal this year was to get to 1000 games owned, a new goal now set for myself for next year is to complete an additional 100 Steam games in my library before the end of 2014.

That was Fish's problem in a nutshell. He was right a lot of the time and he had interesting things to say, but he said them in the most abrasive ways. He did not care how others viewed him...until he did and couldn't take the backlash. I really hope he's secretly making Fez 2 and just ignores Twitter when he announces it.

Anyone else having problems with Gamestop? I'm trying to buy Pac Man DX there but it's not letting me log in, even after resetting my password.

I am hoping that Amazon price matches it soon. Anyone else interested can go to the "Product Details" section on that page and click the last link titled "tell us about a lower price" and fill in the Gamestop details. Maybe multiple people doing it will move it up on their response list or something.

Should I buy Torchlight II, just for my collection, probably not gonna install anytime soon, even though I have Diablo III (which I hardly play anymore)?
I don't like the dev, so I am not buying it.

Yeah, me too. I know he said some stuff that people took issue with to start with, I can only assume he got so much vitriol from people that he didn't know how to handle it and started lashing out at people, which makes him even more of a target. I don't think he's done anything all that bad really, he just doesn't know how to respond to people and lacks tact. Hopefully you're right and he's just told people he's cancelled the game to get them to leave him alone for a bit, and when the game's released we can judge it on it's own merits. If the man's biggest problem is that he's been a bit of a dick on the internet then I don't see why that makes him any worse than everyone who's been attacking him since.
 
And I was sitting here thinking Naruto Ninja Storm would never go on sale on Steam.

I'm not sure if it'll be in future sells but since it's Cyber Monday, I'm guessing Namco Bandai won't mind putting it out there.

Holy crap. The shit I just had to go through to get Pac-Man from Gamestop.

Had to reset my gamestop password, then my impulse password (I didn't remember I had an account on either) and then merge the two, choose a new password, download their stupid app, authorize my computer to use the app, retrieve the steam key, then uninstall the app (optional step, but recommended)

Wow. Why couldn't they just email me the damned key?

I'm still relatively new to Steam, so how often do these sales occur a year? My wallet cannot take this kind of beating.

Summer Sale in July, Halloween Sale in October, Autumn Sale in November and a Winter Sale in December. In addition to the usual daily/week-long/midweek/weekend deals that are peppered throughout the year, there's the occasional publisher-specific sale.

Around holidays or seasonal changes. Like Summer or Christmas. So not that often. Just wait for the huge multi-week sale coming later on this month... :D

I don't know why you think Fish is racist (he's just a rude kid), but yes, yes, yes and yes.

Fez is an amazing game.

How exactly was he right about it? Honest question.

I think you could say that he's entitled to feel like Japanese games aren't great, but it's definitely writing off a wide range of games where there's a few good ones in there. He just might not like the style of them or the settings/themes etc.

It's like my girlfriend says she doesn't like "science" films so won't watch anything from Star Trek to Pacific Rim, The Matrix to Gravity etc. There's a whole bunch of genres she's missing out on and some great films, but she just doesn't connect to that sort of thing. She's entitled to feel that way even if you disagree with what she's saying. If you don't like science in your films you'd say she's right. If you love science you might take offence.

About, Metro LL, what are the story DLC ? Chronicles and that's all ?

I don't know why I want to buy this shit, I'm sure it will make my 560ti enter a nuclear fusion.

Chronicles and Factions are the mission DLCs.

I played it on a 550ti, you should be fine. You only need to turn Advanced PhysX off, or you will get a slide show.
 
It seems like all the previous Flash Deals from Green Man Gaming have gone back up.

EDIT: Yes, they have. So if you are interested in Grid 2 you can currently get it cheaper than on Steam using the 20% off code.

Like, I'll read a post about someone being angry over Phil Fish then look at the avatar and it is almost always anime-based in some way.

I don't like Phil Fish, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him racist. I will say he seems like a loudmouthed cry baby.

It's crazy that the Autumn and Winter Sale are so close to each other. Only a two week difference, correct?

I mean, I feel like I'm in a party with you all, dancing all the time drinking some expensive stuff and when we wake up after this sale is over we will have a huge hangover while looking at our library and gathering the memories of the games we bought... and then, before you know, bam! Winter Sale. And it starts all over again.

But I really like the Winter Sale to be honest, with all the cold outside, having a bit of hot coffee or tea and play a winter-game (I find that there are games for each real-life seasons) it's the best.

I just hope they do something special for the winter sale, something fun.
(No, "buy X$ games and get a card!" is not fun =p)

The good thing is valve has confirmed that these are winter sale prices so you won't get burned in two weeks.

About three weeks, yeah. I bought some more licensed stuff earlier but I passed on Guardians of Middle-earth as it may be featured during the Winter Sale (ideally 75%, but more likely, considering the general discount of 50%, is 66%).

I think that's just the case with a lot of people sporting anime avatars in general. Anger and anime in a 1-2-1 correlation. Maybe I'm being avatarist?
