The original Dark Souls is still great, for sure.
As for the bold... I'm not sure that's exactly what the devs had in mind, but hey, whatever makes you happy.

I wish I could figure out a "hot" boss to be summoned for. I tried leaving my sign down for O&S, but wasn't summoned... I've only been summoned once (Quelaag) and that was a fiasco.

Any idea where a good/hot summon spot for someone around SL65 would be?

Four Kings?

For O&S, did you put your summon sign just before the fog wall or did you put it on the castle's bonfire?

We both know the game front to back, what are we suppose to do, pretend not to know where everything is or how to play efficiently?

Voting for Mercenary Kings.

Luftrausers is very fun for the first hour or two, but ultimately falls flat on its face. I don't think I've ever played a game that suffers more from being limited to 30 FPS than Luftrausers does. Also, there's no new levels to get to, or any sort of endgame beyond a few special enemies that have a tiny random chance of appearing and still aren't all that special. Scoring system is poor and unimaginative, and so are the quests/missions for the most part. Unfortunately I expect Vlambeer will keep repeating the same mistakes in future games because they simply aren't concerned with this stuff.

That is disappointing, but not too surprising to find out.

Is Recettear worth picking up at 66% off then? I've heard people talk it up a fair amount.

Yes.

I just had my first scam message today. Not from a random guy but from someone I had on my friends list for a while. It also was in russian. At first I thought he meant to send it to another person, but then I noticed the link (a .png file i think) and realized what it was. I didn't click anything, closed the chat window and removed that guy since I had basically never talked to him anyway.
So what was it? His account got hacked by clicking on one of these links and now it sends messages to people on his friends list?

Cheapest it's been so far.

So many games and I can't settle on one to play.

Wait for the dailies. It could still go to 75.

Game only went on sale yesterday due to a communication error with Valve.

Dailies were probably set ahead of time, so I imagine there's very few chances of the game going lower.

Though I guess at this point it wouldn't hurt to wait a few more days.
 
I use https://www.xmarks.com/
It syncs across all the major browsers. And you can check all your bookmarks on their website after logging in as well!
thanks. but i'll first give firefox's proprietary snyc a shot.
Is it just me or are foils being rather common for the Sale cards? I think thats my fourth now.
yeah, crazy. i got 3 winter foils. two from crafting, one from voting.
the first one went for 1 buck but then prices crashed and the other two went for 30cent.
 
Found out that the copy of Wolfenstein:TNO I bought from GMG last week still gave me the promo items for TF2...sadly they aren't really worth much anymore but something is better than nothing

Basically. Phished. He needs to change his password.

Sounds rather safe to assume that it was phishing, if you have his contact elsewhere let him know so he can change is password and contact Valve incase anything got stolen from his account.

So, I just conquered Stray Demon before even setting foot in Sen's Fortress, with no magic and unkindled bonfire before the boss
That was some fight, I tell you.
Only Dark Souls can give you the rogue feels without actually being rougelike.

Finally got Knight's Honor in Dark souls. That should take care of the most time consuming achievement.

Luftrausers is an amazing game. Yes, it's an endless score attack game. But it's so good. It's not your traditional dual stick shooter, but definitely more 'airplane' -- you control turning and thrust, and you can create beautiful movements using gravity and stalling as your friend. Dodging bullets and destroying screens full of enemies is a blast.

Critics are correct - there is no 'level 2'... however, the difficultly of your next game is based on how good you are. That is, if you score extremely well, your next game starts faster paced, and the reverse is true as well, mostly eliminating that 'dang it I need to start over now everything's too slow' feel of many score attack games.

There's also a hidden nightmare mode that is bullet hell friendly -- it'll seem impossible to survive more than 5 seconds at first, but it's not.

There is a slight, intentional frame freeze when getting hit (old school, lets you get your bearings) that some confuse for a glitch; it's not, just a stylistic/gameplay choice.

Love it! Would have voted for it if I didn't already own it, I've sunk many hours into it.



Can somebody explain this to me? What benefit does this have? Is this person just sitting there typing in endless buy orders and crafting for days for no benefit, spending a fortune? Does he likely have it all automated? What's going on?

You only have to make like 10 buy orders. One for each of the cards. You can put any quantity you want.
 
Small reminder that this is almost ending.

So the other day I posted the following:



Today I was scrolling through my library and noticed this:



I've disappointed myself.

In its defence that game is fucking fantastic.

I won it off steamgifts and its great. Wouldn't buy it cuz of its DRM but the game itself is legit great.
