Awesome. And exactly where someone would think to look. I was a fool to expect that information on the stores checkout page.

Old netbook? I don't know how a laptop from 2009 and up wouldn't run La-Mulana.

Resident Evil 6? I've got Telltale's Walking Dead Season 1, DmC and Dead Space 2 as community voting options. I voted for the only one I did not own.
That's what you think!
We voted for RE6 and then our votes miraculously went to DmC!

they switched it with DmC, which is definitely not what I want

I play many games for more than an hour and after the first batch of cards I get nothing. I guess this is a glitch.

Yeah, what the hell happened there?

I voted for TWD only because RE6 was there, otherwise I would have gone with DmC, although I don't know that I'd buy it at 12.50 anyways. Backlog has gotten out of control and I probably wouldn't get to it before going back to school.

Random question: do the "branded" steam cards they sell at retail lock you in to buying the game printed on the card? Like at gamestop they have $20 dota 2 cards, $39.99 bioshock infinite cards, etc. Reading the back of the cards, it looks like they'll just add cash to your wallet and take you to the store page for the game, but there's nothing actually forcing you to spend the funds on that particular game. I've never used one though, so I don't really know.

I hope I win that Limbo
Every time someone mentions nice things about this game I get sadder that I don't yet have it.
On the bright side, I got a booster! Till possible Xmas money, all my Steam purchases will be through card sales, so this was a nice turn of events since I was all out.
!
If you let Steam idle in Big Picture mode, after a while the menu disappear and it's just snow dropping, didn't knew that! So relaxing...
Oooh, festive. I must now go do that.
Games for Windows Live IIRC. All you need to know until Capcom tells us their plans.
Thanks to based Humble Store, yesterday (or whatever) I snagged Guacamelee for basically nothing, and aided by the fact that my gf went by her parents for the holidays, I got to try it with 100% calm, peace and concentration.
And it was like, "ok let me try this for a couple of minutes, then back sovietizing in Papers Please" -> "yeah, pop culture references are funny, but they're too many, plz stop really" -> "OMFG it's 3 hours already" -> "POLLO POWER" -> "Definitely GOTY".
I'm finding it a pretty good light metroidvania
with brilliant art and interesting mechanics.
I (still?) can't get accustomed to the gameplay, as it feels a little sloppy sometimes, but probably it's just that I'm not really used to this kind of games anymore.
I'm very much appreciating the fact that I actually want to try to get every single collectible around, instead of just don't give a shit, and the fact that achievements are linked to sidequests.
Pollo Power is a great touch of genius, more so because I was expecting something in the vein of Metroid, so I was positively surprised by it. Also, I love chicken. I'd trade my cat for a chicken, like, without even thinking twice.
And now a customary seizure:

I played through Gone Home yesterday as well and thought it was pretty neat. I then went to the game forums on Steam and it was quite interesting to read some of the little bits I had missed and theories surrounding the characters and events in the game.
I'm surprised that Steam user reviews (and the Metacritic user score) are largely negative though.
sorry, I'm embarrassed to for some reason lol
why? it was the most fun shit ever. I had never made cake before :I
also sharing a beer with mca would be my favorite achievement ever
yup, you need to if you want to get the achievement.e-mail it to the developer is nice touch
did you?

I'm closing in on the 200 games mark. Just 2 more games.
The normal edition of Tomb Raider 2013 is enough, unless you want digital comics and shitty hitman absolution weapons.
Yep, just give me a 75%, Steam!
Steam responds negatively to anything that goes in for being vaguely "artsy" or minimizing standard gameplay elements.
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by this game, even if a lot of the humor fell a bit flat. The platforming was solid, had a nice Metroidvania feel while still being pretty linear, and the combat is a lot of fun.

Some of the other newer DLC is 75% off for the rest of today on Amazon.com.

Future congrats. I'm at 227.
How does this work? Does it just give the achievment tied to the account tied to the email?

Yeah, it seems as if the game is polarized. People either love it or hate it. Though the complaints I have seen are absurd, "This isn't game," Not saying that that is the only complaint everyone has, but it for the most part outside of GAF that is what I have seen.

Ok thanks. My friend said he would not recommend Dragon Age Origins either. So looks like I'll skip both.

I had never played a WRPG before DAO (with the exception of maybe Oblivion). I instantly fell in love with the game. Its fantastic.
