Eh, I like it but I'm fond of twin-stick shooters to begin with. Also, it seems to get updates regularly so I don't think it's abandoned? It just came out a few months ago.

Yah, I think my real problem was targeting the squirrels. For some reason I had a hell of a time getting them to remain as a target long enough to charge up the pyrokinesis. Got it though...for a piece of coal.

not at all
The achievement is hard, but the game is alright. I slightly regret buying it though.
Hm, cant check but this is what Steam says:
Processor: Core 2 Duo/Athlon 64 recommended
RAM: 1 GB RAM minimum, 2 GB recommended
HDD: 400 MB
Graphics: any DirectX 9 -compatible graphics card with a resolution of at least 1024*600
Check the forums of the game for the dev issue, cant search for the link now. Sorry.

I love the concept and the battle system. I love the crafting system. I love Halloween. The soundtrack to this game, along with the visual style, nails the feeling of Halloween perfectly.

Nabbed Dungeons of Dredmor, since it's so freaking cheap and they finally added a girl MC.

I go that feeling with "The Wonderful End of The World" during the summer sale. It's not bad, but eh. I'd rather have the time/money back. I don't want that feeling again.

Anyone still considering DoD?
Dungeons of Dredmor

WTF video review
What is it?
Its a roguelike. So, basically you go down a dungeon, kill monsters, get loot and use the loot to kill more monsters. If you never played such a game before, I'd like to mention that these kind of games often have a straight forward highscoring feeling to it. "How many points on my last run?", "Lets try the same char build to see who manages to kill better monsters!" and the likes. Due to that they also belong to the "Losing is Fun" game category since you are motivated to try and try again, next time with better knowledge how to play and other skills to use if you so fancy.
But arent Roguelikes supposedly all hard?
Yes, as mentioned above you wont finish it in your first sitting. But thats the whole POINT! See it as a metagame to improve your skills before actually beating the boss. All the while, the DoD developers made a pretty darn great job to include customization options to cater to different people. If you dont want to get beaten too hard, just go easy and non permanent deaths and you'll get along quite nicely if you want. And if you want it hard... well.. just look at this:

Believe me, you wont like seeing those so called Monster Zoos on Hard.
[i]So lets get to the AWESOME![/i]
This game shows you the necessities of using every inch of possibility you have to survive. You can chose one of 7 skills, which all differ greatly. Here is a picture of all the skills:

Heh, if I really have a bad mood day and I need to get revenge on you guys for anything, I'll just recommend everyone to buy "Eternities Child". Then you'll know true regret.
...
Oh man. Dunno if I can be that mean.
It's kinda dead but if u buy it u can help grow the community! /desperate attempt. Love the game but tripwire did kinda shoot themselves in the foot with a the worst possible launch ever.

You would totally get away with it. It's like the opposite of the story of the boy who cried wolf.

true story, a long long long time ago I used to be a member of a forum that one of the artists of that game was a very active member of. He was cool, and very talented, so it seems like a waste one of his first real game development jobs was art for that game.

Any tips on getting the AI War achievement? None of the help pages seem to have that one on it.

I'm playing it on a 2008 Dell Studio XPS and it's running really well. As it's a roguelike it's turn-based anyway, so you don't notice if it lags a bit. You can also turn off smoothing which improves performance a lot.
The art was what sold me on it. He definitely was the best of the guys working on it
WOW! Time to replay Psychonauts.
Will you finish TW1 before summer? If yes buy it, if not you can wait. If you're not going to finish it and are worried about story stuff just read a story synopsis and youtube the ending.
It's awesome. It's very unique, sort of a simulation/jrpg/dungeon crawler hybrid. You run an item shop, if that wasn't obvious from the title, and you stock items by purchasing them from vendors and raiding dungeons. The dungeons are pretty simple, you just kill enemies (real time combat) and pick up loot. You display the items in your cute little shop and NPC's will visit through the morning, day, evening and night (separated in turns) to purchase or sell items and put in orders. It's very addictive and charming, and there's nothing else like it on Steam.

I just installed pretty much clicked the crossed swords on the top right, it spawned me in a snow level i presume in a game called "lockdown" and you can pick up snow balls and throw them at people. Hit the opposing team once ?????? coal!

So I'm going to get Psychonauts and Chantelise. Do these games work with the 360 controller?
Yes. I got half way through Witcher before Witcher 2 came out and just read the rest of the Witcher story. Totally worth it.

1. play game until you get 200 coins.
2. hit the red sword icon in the top left and join a lockdown game.
3. if the map is a snowy map look around for some snowballs. Right click to pick them up and hit a dude with them. if the map isn't snowy either play it out or quit and look for another lockdown game.

Anyone up for a round of Magicka later?
Click on the crossed swords in the top right, join a game. Hopefully you'll get a level with snow, pick up snowballs and throw them.

Just found out I have Team Fortress Classic now...
I didn't buy it and it doesn't show up on account history. Anyone else?

To explain it differently: It's a turned based, grid based dungeon crawler... think Diablo meets Final Fantasy Tactics. The catch is it's much harder and death is permanent - as in, when you die, you have to start over with a new character. To keep it fresh however, the entire dungeon layout, chest locations, enemy spawn patterns, etc are randomized on every new game. The point of the game is hone your skills and figure out the best skill sets to clear the dungeon - those skills in the picture posted aren't actually skills, they're entire skill tree sets with a half-dozen abilities to unlock inside. There's a lot of variety and how you build your character each time.

Just got that, a hardware survey? Seems pretty worthless, the link goes to the Dota 2 page where it seems anyone can just take the survey anyway. Anyone have some insight?
Pretty sure that means you have been given DOTA 2. You need to do the hardware survey to opt-in to the beta is all.

lighthaze posted a save file for the AI War achievement. Just change your profile name in-game to "Kai" before loading the save.

Got Max Payne 1 & 2 yesterday in the sale.
Payne 1 plays just as well as I remember it from years ago, I ended up playing a lot longer in one sitting than I expected. I hope Payne 3 does a good job of keeping the feel of the original games. £3 for the two - Steam sales, eh? Still got stuff from the last sale I haven't played yet.

Haha, what? That's really weird. It might be that "Hardware Survey" just means you got into the beta because of the hardware survey? I don't know, though. I got my invite from a friend.
