I came to complain about no Deadly Premonition... Looks like I was beaten. At this point I'm wondering if my vote actually counts negative for some reason. >sigh<

What exactly makes Cook Serve Delicious so good? I've seen nothing but praise in this thread. Not much of a sim fan, but I'm willing to try new genres if it's a quality experience
That's mildly disturbing. Worth a watch?

Dream won seriously? I've tried it, nothing special. PLUS it's episodic with only the first episode out!

It's a casual type of game, where you run a restaurant and have to make dishes arcade style by pressing buttons.
You can buy new ingredients, and cooking machines to make new dishes, you also need to keep your customers happy and vary your menus so people don't get tired of the same stuff all the time.
It's really addictive.
Oh good. A chance to post some gifs from the Higurashi anime!
Ah Higurashi .
"When just plain old batshit crazy is not good enough ."
Absolutely, but stick it through to the end of the second season. And don't spoil yourself.
Lately I've been playing with an easy way to output Steam to my TV and toggle the sound output device automatically in Windows. Previously I used a combination of the Windows + P keys and a program called Soundswitch to handle this task, but it always seemed a bit manual and in relation to Soundswitch and Windows 8.1, a little flaky.
I came across an excellent program called PlaybackDevice (http://heilnizar.deviantart.com/art/PlaybackDevice-Audio-Output-Switch-285591834) - it supports command line options and when used in conjunction with the Windows displayswitch utility, I now have two Windows 8.1 tiles that allow me to toggle between TV and PC outputs respectively, making my comfy couch gaming even easier.
I wrote a simple script that switches the display, waits 10 seconds then toggles the sound output to the TV. The wait is necessary for my TV (a middle-aged Samsung) - as it takes a while to initialize the sound hardware and for Windows to see it. YMMV
You can download the script here - all you need to do is extract it to "C:\ToggleOutput" and install PlaybackDevice to "C:\ToggleOutput\PlaybackDevice". After that is done, simply pin the two included shortcuts "PC.lnk" and "TV.lnk" to your Start Menu or the TaskBar.
I recommend reading the ReadMe for PlaybackDevice if you have any issues.

I've only tested this script on Windows 8.1, but should work on Windows 8 and Windows 7 as well. Hopefully this is helpful to other Steam users here.

Are the dream interpretations at least Freudian? "I see a squirrel. It means I want to have sexual relations with my mother. Ah, that cloud looks like a hamburger; clearly I want to have sexual relations with my mother."
Thanks, I'll check it out. Is season 2 just "When They Cry II"?
Certainly not something I mind at all. Looking forward to it.

I voted for Deadly Premonition guys. That's all I could do.

Me too, wouldn't have bought it at 10, but wanted to help fellow gaffers.
Things like "If you dream of a cliff, it might mean you are looking for a different perspective before making a big decision.".
Thank you! Actually tomorrow starts my first day off in a long time. Hoping to update my mods then.

Really makes you wonder who comes up with shit like that.
I don't know. Personally, I hate the English translation of the title. In Japanese, it's higurashi no naku koro ni, translated as when the cicadas cry. Instead, we get Higurashi: When They Cry? (The unrelated series from the same folks, umineko no naku koro ni, or when the seagulls cry, is similarly "translated" as Umineko: When They Cry.) The Japanese titles for season 2 is higurashi no naku koro ni kai
There's a lot of stuff that might not make sense when you're watching it, but the second season answers most (if not all) of the questions.

Not at that price.
Was 75% off earlier this year. Don't give disney your money until they learn how to do sales.
Thanks for the quick reply, only spelunky then.

Ugh I bought Battlefront.
And I regret it a lot. Hopefully mods can make it better. no local coop is boring

It's a great game, but personally I'm not buying any Star Wars game until the franchise pack comes to $30 or lower. Stupid Disney...
Ah, that sort of dream interpretation.
"In my dream, I am eating a hot dog. This means I want to have sexual relations with my mother, of whom I have penis envy, and oh god where is that cliff so I can throw myself off."
Same here. Seems like people continue to look at the price and not at the title when voting...
Maybe Deadly Premonition lost because people don't want to vote for an Early Access title.
