Finally won a game I didn't already have: Defense Grid. What a borefest that game is. Once you figure out a good turret loadout you just sit back and watch the game play itself.

That's why there is a fast forward button, and it might help especially for the simpler levels. Harder levels should require a little more thought in how you set things up (there's also a rewind button).

I liked it even though I don't have an interest in tower defense much at all, I guess? But if you truly hate tower defense then I could understand not liking it.

My inventory is bugged again, not showing items I traded for (though they're listed in the inventory history), anyone know how to fix? I tried the TF2 moving stuff around in backpack thing but it didn't help.

EDIT: nevermind, it seems to have fixed itself.

Against my better judgement I went ahead and crafted 7 coals... this after getting 20 coals in a row. And the result of the crafting? 50% off coupon for Grotesque Tactics. FML.

Yeah, I remember that day as well :D :D

well.



i actually quite enjoy train simulator. steam locomotives ftw


i like E.Y.E also, at $3 that thing's a great buy if you can handle the jank. bought it at launch and not once regretted. they've probably patched out the crazy amount of money you used to earn online though.

Managed to get Rise of Immortals achievement - the company I got in PvE were quite good and I used the tree character. Wasn't so difficult.

I finally got to playing E.Y.E. and I am blown away. It's like nothing I've ever seen. A little bit of Deus Ex gameplay, awesomely original aesthetics, and that delicious source engine, baby I got a stew going. I'm having a hard time handling my shock of how awesome it felt to play that game.

Did i mention the game is 75% off at $2.49?

Game supports the 360 pad and multiplayer is a blast. Fuck Super Stardust HD and Geometry Wars when this game exists.

Yeah, it's a fun game. It's basically an updated clone of Crimsonland, which is high praise. The devs have given it a lot of post-release love too.

Did the sale take on shit on the Frozen Synapse authentication servers? Been "registering a new account" for a good 15 mins now?

Don't know why devs do this (other than "we want your email"). Both Tropico and Frozen Synapse have made me make an account.

Yeh its pretty good, just UI and presentation leaves alot to be desired though. It really needs some work.

Core gameplay is excellent though.

Synapse needs one because it's primarily multiplayer and it's not Steamworks so it can't just use that (plus they might be going cross-platform so they can't just use steamworks).

Tropico is just because Kalypso loves harvesting emails.

Frozen Synapse really needs your email though. It sends you a message when your next turn is ready because it has asynchronous multiplayer.

Is it just me or does the new Steam interface have absolutely no indication of the status of gifts you have sent anymore?

In Australia Rage is $90, reduced to $45. If someone from the US can gift it to me for $15, please PM me with your paypal info and I'll send it through. Thanks! :)

Just you. Click on the gift to see to whom you sent it. Also there should be a tab on the inventory on the right.

i wonder if the prize pool was worsened by the influx of accounts the indie bundles created. seems like the obvious way to fix it, but kinda disappointing. :/

See, I don't get that. I bought a Nation Red 4pack and have given the other 3 copies as gifts, but the tab on my inventory just looks like this:

Nothing in there about who I sent it to and what the status is.

EDIT: Reloaded page a few times, now there's info there about it. Weird.

Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong in EYE for the reindeer achievement? I can't find any reindeer at all.

I started a co-op server with the Monolith map (I think). I just went around killing shit until I found one.

Why do you want the achievement?

Thanks. I want it for 10% off a Valve title or whatever they give us.

EDIT: Nothing there either, and apparently things should still be dropping presents, but I haven't seen a single one since the first one. I think my game is just fucked.

Holy SHIT THANK YOU!!!! I'm about to buy two copies of this game (one for a friend), this looks absolutely fantastic. That review sold me in the first 3 minutes alone.

Wow, how is this game NOT getting hyped? All the content updates, $2.50... wow. BOUGHT!

Edit: Fuck it, buying a 4-pack. Anybody want a copy for $1.88?
