I've never played a TT game. Do they all look like borderlands-lite?
The art and design are spectacular. Color me interested.

Right, because the list is alphabetical.
You could almost call it fate.
Walrus it.

I finished Words for Evil.
The goal of the game is to spell words like in the phone game ruzzle and by doing so you hit the enemies. When you kill them you gain gold which you can use to heal or buy weapons and armor.
The main problem is that just like in ruzzle you end up spelling whatever looks like a word as you want to be as fast as possible, without really looking for words you know. I was randomly putting three letters together hoping it would work and I got better results than when I was using words I knew.
There were also some mini games in-between fights and I enjoyed those a lot more. In these you had to either use all the letters that were given to you to create a list of words or pick one letter for each row to make a word.
When you lose all your HP you have a last chance to come back by spelling an anagram. The more letters you use, the better the results (you die but still hit the enemy, you heal for half or you heal completely). As there are many possible answers the game also gives you another solution after your entry, with it's definition taken from the dictionary

When in doubt, buy. Better safe than sorry!

Did you really just shell out for the game? or did you find it for cheap from somewhere?

Edit: I'll mention again that the DDE actually includes the pre-order incentives by default, so those on the fence can choose to buy it later without being concerned about potentially missing out on content.
goo goo g'joob?
I have no idea what "Walrus it" means.
but what if it never comes out and gets pulled from Ste--- brb adding to cart

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.

seems they want devs to not use their own systems for loot and other nonsense and use valve's instead. Guessing they would like to have those f2p-like games exclusive to steam instead of coming to steam when the well starts drying up elsewhere.
a wall russet is a potato mounted on a wall
well seeing as how utter incompetent the devs of Primal Carnage: Extinction are regarding their loot servers (and how myself, Kurt Russel, and others on the steam forums were never getting drops because of reasons..) I am glad.

Yeah, it gives developers and publishers the option to allow in-game items to be stored in the user's Steam inventory.
The reason I'm worried about it catching on is that Steam's inventory system was originally made for like 4 games tops, and adding additional games to the mix will result in some hilariously bad UI unless they fix it up properly.
Also, because the items can be traded through the Steam Marketplace, Valve gets a slice of that pie.

Steam has a long and storied history with potatoes.
That's a really good (and terrifying) observation... oh dear.
Tying items to certain conditions would be a good way to get people to play their games.
hopefully to more things for me to get rid of and sell
fixed

I overlooked the part regarding steam marketplace. Yeah, that too.

I mean we already have to put up with this mess:
and this is an even worse offender:
Now imagine if 500+ games (or more) were supported here. All I'm saying is that I'm glad Valve is calling these new APIs "beta", but I would have thought they would have thought about and addressed these sorts of issues before turning people loose on this system.

I got it. I see it...
Virtual pairs of panties from HuniePop. What would they do? Nothing. Would people care? Nope.
I reserve that for badge crafting and MAGIX's software.

I completely forgot about the "separate game tab" aspect of the inventory. I weep for the future of my (mostly barren) inventory.
Wall russet preserve us.
bullshit.
I guarantee you if that were to happen it would immediately eat up 10 pages of a steam thread. guaran-fucking-teed.

That would probably make me buy HuniePop so I could sell those virtual panties and make money.

hahahaha, yeah right. This is Valve we're talking about
They're probably just waiting for it to be a problem so they can see how I'll handle updating the UI elements. Then they'll do something that looks 99% the same.

I'm not really getting the Steam Inventory Service news.
I mean, where's the actual news?
I assumed it was a service already aavailable to developers, as it was featured in several (of course) Valve games and Battleblock Theater and others as shown in jshackles screens.
What actually changed?
