...you think this is a fucking game?
That must be it. Has to be a roulette though, that's my rule.
Which I promise I shall do if I ever "win". Even if I have to cease all other games until I do, I will complete it.
I think I have a sickness.
A big thank you for Metro 2033, Risen, and Sacred Citadel. Three games I've definitely had an eye on for a long time and I look forward to playing them once I get a chance after the holidays end.
Oh and someone really should grab that Greed Corp key. Fun game.

Ah...good timesDark Souls has great combat, but you have to be patient. Try to battle only one guy at a time. You can't really do any sort of crowd management with a bunch of enemies.
There's also stuff like this...
lol
Runs like shit on my PC, but I guess that and The Witcher 2 are just more incentive to finally get a better computer

That's a good question. I can tell you what isn't... for me at least. That damn soda machine. Waste so much time on that damn thing! =/
I'm thinking about it as well, but I feel like it'll play better on my Vita, and I'm done buying games on multiple platforms at once. I'm just wasting money that way lol
What?! I just got a PM saying I got Bad Rats. lol.

Yeah, the soda machine needs some time getting used to.

did that skeleton just pull a This Is Sparta! on you
I love that gif. That skeleton just matter-of-factly kicking the guy off the ledge.Dark Souls has great combat, but you have to be patient. Try to battle only one guy at a time. You can't really do any sort of crowd management with a bunch of enemies.

(1) The glory of enhanced Steam. Thank you based jshackles.
(2) The ease of not having to be on my main gaming PC -- I can just be on my laptop or phone or whatever and not really have to worry about going over to my gaming PC and bringing it up on my TV and such.
"Professional" reviewers are a joke.
Sometimes they get it right, but more often than not, they're way off from sharing perspectives with most gamers I know.
Never played Dark Souls and wow that's just dickish.
Enhanced Steam
Tabbed Browsing
More responsive
You can see him waiting around the corner if you approach slow enough. Dark Souls teaches you to check your surroundings instead of going barreling into a situation.
I personally fell for that trap the first time I went through there. Was laughing the whole way down because I knew I deserved that.

Always check the damn corners
Always keep your shield up
Never rush into battle

Took me 82 minutes for one playthrough. Do mind though that the game requires multiple playthrough if you want to figure out the story yourself.
I don't have that kind of patience.

Might as well generate one.
From my time with with the PS3 version Dark Souls before losing it, and my many hours with Demon's Souls, I bet you can hear him as well. Which is something that is greatly overlooked and often ignored in From Software games (well, Souls and King's Field and Tenchu and the like), the sound quality and how many clues the audio gives in a lot of situations exactly like that.
I can almost guarantee you are correct. From's sound design is amazing, especially with a good pair of headphones.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Soda machine is useful as a filler dish though, since it's not a "rot meal" but a "staple" meaning it can be placed in the menu without worries of it going down.
Man this is surprisingly deep. Holy shit, GAF go buy this game.
I don't think it's worth it full price, but for $3.75 it's worth it for the improvements it has over the free version.

I know, it's a weak one. Needs comic sans and different coloring. It's the best I could come up with quickly.
Why not? Giving away another copy of DMC4:

Good rules. The real fun of Dark Souls though is once you know what to expect around each corner and can strap your shield to your back and just run straight in. The "you guys want to kill me, but I can reach the fog gate before you can reach me" sprint.
Seriously. I basically stopped dying in Demon's Souls (outside of stuff like boss fights or that damn dragon in 1-4) because the game gave you so many warnings if you were listening.
Groupees Xmas bundle is never going to reach 100k at this rate, guess we'll never know what was in the big box

I've actually had that happen a few times during the sale: I'll refresh the store page and get the page from a day or two prior, with the deals from that time and everything. Really weird, I didn't realize that stuff was cached anywhere - almost as though every time the front page refreshes, it stores a temp of that refresh which randomly gets pulled later.
unrelated: Brothers is sooooooooooo good~~~
OMGGGGGG IT IS KING OF FIGHTERS!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH HOLY CRAP!
I got that PM and it said Bad Rats and I was like, "Damn I won, but I also lost haha." Then I realized it was a link. Best midnight surprise! Thank you soooo much thecharrr
No problem!
Serve only beer and wine. High class and easy at the same time.

If I enter a steam code for a game I already have, does steam tell me and let me back-out? Or does it just eat the code? I know I have multiple codes for the same game from different bundles, but I don't know which one I used. Can I check by just entering into steam and see if it says "already redeemed" versus "you already own"?

Unfortunately I'll never use Chrome.
Anti-Googles?

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.
Unfortunately I'll never use Chrome.
It also works with Chromium and any number of open source Chromium-based browsers.
Unfortunately I'll never use Chrome.
I'm using Opera, others are using Firefox. You don't have to use Chrome.
Nope, just is lacking compared to Waterfox. I also have a text rendering issue I've tried for years to fix that only happens in Chrome. Text is thin and light grey, hard to read.
Most common ones are Chrome and Opera next right? Not willing to sacrifice the performance and customizing of waterfox for enhanced steam, no offense. I'd be lowering my overall browser experience to improve one site.
Congrats!

Thanks Terra_Ex for Cave Story Plus! First Modbot victory.
I think it's easily worth full price or more, but waiting this long would have saved you money, which is good. Having said that, the longer you wait, the longer you aren't playing Spelunky, which is bad.

I agree, firefox is the better browser.

None taken, it's all about personal preference. I have had some Waterfox users report that the Firefox version of Enhanced Steam works for them, so you may want to give that a try. Cheers!
