Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

Wait, Racing competitions? I'm in, even if I'm not really doing it for the prizes.

I kind of did but it mostly because I thought from the beginning that
the whole story was gonna be played straight so the whole spooky house thing went over my head. If it really was a haunted house type game I figured it'd be spoken of as such. If the payoff was discovering that you were wrong about something being up well, I didn't get anything for my time.

I guess it just depends on your own expectations, and what you want to get out of a game personally. Whilst playing it, I really did enjoy the mystery element to it. Not having any idea on how things were going to be concluded, which lead me to wanting to find out more of the overall story. And perhaps the mystery surrounding it made the spooky atmosphere work better for me.

I don't have the game (yet) but that sounds like a great giveaway, Dunder. Good luck to everyone taking part of it.
 
How awesome is your contest? So awesome!

I don't have the game installed and I'd suck at it anyways, so not entering, but I hope you'll livestream it when it goes down.

Count on that :) Hopefully it will work well enough, have had some shitty experiences with livestreaming, but I'll test it to work properly before the competition.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I'm tempted but I have no controller and no desire to buy one. How playable is it on a keyboard?

That's like asking me how bad is the walk from NY to FL. I'm not going to walk in the first place. Don't you have a DS3 laying around?

7 grand steps seems like good idea, but I find it boring. Out of games I bought and played this sale lltQueen wins so far, brothers being second.

I would join Dunder's contest, but I'm going to lose for sure, as I haven't played it for couple of months at least.
Good luck to all that participate, though.

I might be worse at Sonic racing than I am at Speedrunners, but I'll join if the time works out
 
There´s a Windows program that lets you sort out your games really quickly, but I can´t remember the name.
The silly thing is categories don't seem to carry over between computers though ):.

Depressurizer is the name, used it the other week to sort out some basic Completed/Want To Play/In Progress/Graveyard categories. Really handy.

Well on one Debbie Downer hand, 9 participants is kind of ridiculous for a NeoGAF competition / raffle. And what about the lag between players from around the world ?
That being said I really love the idea and it is a nice change from the more traditional raffles.

Edit - Streaming ? Marvelous ^o^

Okay, I have decided to spend today tackling Christmas specific achievements.

• Hammerwatch
• Droid Assault
• RUSH
• Electronic Super Joy
• Left 4 Dead 2 (Ghost of Christmas Present)

Here's what I have completed on previous years.

• Cave Story
• EDGE
• Left 4 Dead 2 (Gift Grab)
• Psychonauts
• Revenge of the Titans (x5)
• Spiral Knights
• Toki Tori

Hopefully none of these take TOO long, since I want to play some more Ys Celceta.

SteamGAF i'm having withdrawals. I want to play RE6 SO BAD. But I know this Laptop can't handle it. So close and yet so far, it's killing me. I could even deal with playing it with everything on low. But after my success with Dark Souls not running well I just know it;s not even worth the attempt to try.

Try the demo.
 
What's wrong with it? I bought it a few days ago but haven't started it up yet.

Its alright, pretty good actually. Personally did not like the combat very much. Felt very detached and not... powerful most of the time. Everything else is well done. Had to force myself to beat it about 2 months ago after owning it since it came out on PS3.

This is the opinion of someone who loves the combat in Bayonetta and Devil May Cry btw.

nothing from me on GMG today it seems, except the Hell Yeah dlc, been looking for that to go 75% for ages

Van Helsing won't let me use KB/M unless I unplug my controller. C'mon, this can't be a hard thing to implement.

The game is very long, and it can drag quite a bit during the middle the portion. Boss fights also wear out their welcome in length at times. And if I recall correctly, there's a mechanic similar to DmC, where you have to use either ability A or B to damage certain enemies. (I.e. Light-infused whip vs dark-infused) The locales are also pretty repetitive.Though it's been awhile since I played on the 360.

It's alright overall, but you're better off playing God of War if possible.
