Square/Enix losing out on a sale by not having a Classic Tomb Raider package
This is what I want too.
12 for Classics alone or 13 with reboot + all DLC (useless MP stuff, but still).
Can't really justify that.
More promotional items and useless drops with no real value?
Previously it required creating your own server, now you can use server provided by Valve.
(You can still use your own thought).
Enjoy?

I looked up what exactly a root canal was to see what is going to be happening to my tooth next week.
...I have made a terrible mistake. Fuck that.

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.
Yes, previously non-Valve developers could integrate their game (such as Battleblock Theater) with Steam inventory items, but it required a direct line of communication between Valve and the developers. Now that this is part of the Steamworks SDK, any developer is able to use the service without getting special permissions.
It's kind of like how trading cards used to work in the beginning "beta" phase. At first it was just Valve stuff, then it got opened up to a few select developers (I think Borderlands 2 was the first non-Valve game with cards) and then it finally opened up to everyone. Admittedly, it did take a few months for developers to catch on to the fact that they could "print money" with trading cards, but now almost half the games on Steam have them.
Since the new SDK provides a financial incentive for developers (the items can be sold on the Steam Marketplace) I anticipate that a lot of developers will want to start taking advantage of this right away.
I don't see that many games successfully integrating items. Maybe it can prolong life of one or two indie MP only games for some time, but I don't really have high hopes.

Don't they always give you gas for a root canal too? You'll be too high to care.
Didn't for mine. I haven't had gas since I was a kid.
No they don't (here at least).
They can give you lidocaine injection for first drilling, when they murder the tooth with poison.
After a week or so the dentist can even rape a donkey inside your tooth and you won't be able to feel a thing.
The root canal cleaning needles are scary though...
//EDIT
Also, that Suikoden game is up on DailyIndieGame
Also, keys for the game up on Groupees
I'm always worried that if I go to get major dental surgery (like wisdom teeth removal) that I'll get gassed and say some nasty and vulgar shit and not know.

is orange kill ?
Pretty sure they knock you out for all dental surgery stuff. Of course you can always say those things when on your pain meds afterwards.
If "work" is a euphemism for "pirates entered my house through the roof and beat me to death with a box of chocolate while I was sleeping dreaming of lashman eating a pie"
Robert J. Sullivan
Member
so i guess it's orange's soul that's kill
It might just depend where you go, or I could be totally wrong. Although I definitely would rather not be awake for any other dental surgery.

Mystery Gift --
Store page is up
Yep. Also on Humble for sure. In fact, Valve has rules that when selling Steam keys on other stores they must be labeled EA there as well.

I have no idea what I just won! Let's find out together, shall we?
Edit: ...And it told me that I first have to activate the original game. It didn't tell me what it was, but I believe the mystery gift was either an expansion pack or DLC for a game that I don't have. I don't even know how to proceed from here now.

It's apparently the same game as XL and they didn't even implement the promised performance improvements

Is it Super Killer Hornet Resurrection?
So it runs worse than ever? Wow
Cities XL ran on well on my old C2D desktop with medium sized cities and didn't have such slowdowns they had.

I honestly don't know. Is that a DLC of some kind requiring me to activate the original game?

Weird, it doesn't even tell you a name? Bummer.

Those screens look amazing compared to the mobile version. Character geometry looks off though going by the hands. Maybe it's just improved lighting.

No it doesn't. Maybe if the anonymous benefactor wants to step up and tell us, please, we might be able to find someone who can USE the code.
Or have a mystery giveaway chain that goes until someone with the main game manages to get it.
Does labeling it trash keep people eligible for future modbot giveaways that exclude recent winners?

My Let's Play of Castle In The Darkness:

Quick Impressions: This game is NES authentic! The Demon from Ghosts N' Goblins makes a cameo, you have flying Medusa-likes, bullshit Ninja Gaiden platforming that even have sudden bullshit birds fly in to eff you up. It's glorious. No maps, barebones NES goodness. Combat feels great, lots of enemy variation, bosses are fun. Towns people are great. Even those times in NES games were devs were cruel and pretended to give you something real nice but then it turns out to be squat. Thankfully, the dev allows you to kill the bastard NPC trying to play tricks on you.
I know a lot of people give Nicalis shit, but damn you guys need to check this game out. REALLY GOOD.

While that would be funny, I'm not going to subject people to that. I have no idea if the code is tied to my account now, either. So here. Here's the code, everyone. Just friggin' try it and if it works for you, help us solve the mystery of what the hell this thing is.

It's some Alienware Payday item.
I was curious, so I tried it. It was a Payday 2 mask.

Thank you. I only have the original Payday so yeah.
Ah yes, thanks. (and sorry for the late thanks)
Woah.
So sad. I need a new city builder fix as, well, I can't play SimCity 4 forever.

But didn't you have to use a bunch of cards which are still very expensive (8 x at least 40c) to get the background? Okay, creating boosters makes the card a tad cheaper.
Store page is up
Interestingly, as a former Republique beta tester I could install it right now.
I wonder what version would it be actually, maybe I'll install it later today.
Probably Jedi Knight + Mysteries of the Sith and Jedi Outcast.
A bunch of keys.
