I just watched my girlfriend take two minutes to figure out how to vote when I told her to go do so. Tells you something about how badly the page is designed.

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.

What is this 50º F nonsense? :p Around 10º C in here, but those are some wise words indeed my friend, I always cherish these moments. He tells the stories of worlds that no longer exist. 95 years is a great achievement if you ask me. The best part? He's a big fan of videogames, He loves to watch me play games when I take care of him. Just for kicks:

He loves:

Those older Assassin's Creed games.

What he likes in that game: Some cities reminds when he had to go to the city to grab some groceries and materials for his farm.

What he says I do wrong in the game: Riding a horse in the middle of the city. He says I should put it in this special place and only then I should go do my work at the town.

What he does not approve: Talking to a witch (a woman wearing only black, with a hood and some suspicious look, for him, it's always a witch). "Witches are evil" and I should not trust them. Since all the RPG's I played on my console have some of them looking like this, he does not approve any, lol.

He likes the Dirt series because I convinced them that some rally tracks where inspired where he used to believe ( I only say this because he believe and get all proud of his place). Any other racing game is "ok". Also loves Dark Souls, was not a fan of Skyrim unless I was by the fire cooking meals.

The best part is the advice he constantly gives me when doing quests or missions. Also, he does not like: Call of Duty games. Reason: "War is wrong, war do you no good, lot's of people getting killed".

Also, any horrible monster in any game? It's Lucifer, it's always Lucifer/Devil in disguise.

That is really awesome, thanks for sharing. My grandfather was the one that got me into gaming at a young age, but I never got the chance to play more recent games with him. We used to adventure together in The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy and those are some of my greatest memories he left me with. I'm sure he would have loved modern gaming. I'm not sure what he would think about Final Fantasy XIII (which I'm playing through for the first time now that it's on PC) other than "This is like a movie." and the inevitable "Those women need to be wearing more clothing."

I hope that when I have grandchildren of my own that I'll be able to pass on the love of gaming to them like I've been able to do for my children.

Yeah same for my younger brother. Doesn't care for the cards or anything but free money is always nice. He also had trouble locating the button.

Is the game's combat good? Heard it was repetitive.
I mean I like simple combat systems but in long RPGs that's a no-no in my book.

Nothing deep but I was having fun with it, until I started playing Diablo 3 again... and then went back to WoW... Blizzard and it's damned games, they're so good they always pull me back in.

How is Never Alone? Reading the review on Steam they say it's quite bad in gameplay with sluggish controls and such. Is it really that bad? For example I couldn't continue with Valdis Story because I thought the controls were "off".

When the time comes, I'm sure they will be lucky to have you as a grandfather. You know what really matters in life. :)

Is there any good place to trade Steam keys for TF2 keys? I'd love to get the Skyrim DLC from Amazon using keys, since I have lots of them right now...

So, uh, looks like redeeming the Company of Heroes 2 DLC from the humble Sega bundle has given me the full game? I can play skirmishes at least. Did this happen to anyone else?

EDIT: Or is this a standalone expansion? I know nothing about CoH2.

Never heard of the series before. Currently playing one of the browser based games and i'm already enjoying it, it's certainly interesting. Thanks for the tip! :)

To whoever wins the raffle: Please PM me the name of a game you want to see in tomorrow's giveaway. Just one simple rule: It must be available on Steam for 10 Euro's or less. (since I still don't own a money tree)
If I don't receive a reccomendation in 24 hours, i'll get one of the titles some other nice Gaffers recommended or choose one myself.

Happy holiday's! :)

Does anyone know if Bullestorm still gives you a GFWL key or did they stopped providing them on new purchases? I know Fallout 3 did this.

It has to give you a GFWL key otherwise the game would be unplayable. Fallout 3 did that because the GFWL on Fallout 3 is basically a inert optional implementation.
