Earth Defense Force has Bumble Bees the size of tanks and Spiders the size of skyscrapers?

Bought, but what's the multiplayer component?

 

[Omega]

Was Ys a really big franchise in the west on the PC? I don't think so and it has done well for itself if what Xseed has said is true.

no

Most people (even self-proclaimed fans) can't even say the name right.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Yes! Company of Heroes 2 next community sale! If War Game or Arma II gets voted, I'll lose faith in the PC/Steam community forever!

 

[OniBarubary]

Anybody grabbing Spelunky (for high score chasing) or Risk of Rain ( today, feel free to add me. My Steam profile link is in my GAF profile.

Anybody who hasn't grabbed them today but still has them, feel free to do the same. But maybe not if you're too good at Spelunky. I like being at the top of my friends list.

Added you. I'm sure my Spelunkying will quickly get better until it heavily plateaus out well below yours. Other than that, I play a lot of bad games so...cheers!

 

[honorless]

I wanted to do something different, but I can't manage to send the same games to the same email (I guess I have to wait a certain amount of time), so I guess it'll be this for now.

If the email you're sending this to is a Gmail address, you can put in/remove periods and Steam will assume it's a different email. So if you've got, say, two copies of LLTQ, you can send one to buttsmcbutts@gmail.com and one to butts.mcbutts@gmail.com and they'll end up in the same inbox.

Very convenient when you've got many many copies of the same game to give away.

 

[hitmon]

Everyone should buy this : http://store.steampowered.com/app/23530/

Never knew there was a PC version.

 

[Triggaaar]

I know that this is the most biased place to ask ... but Dust or no Dust ? =x

How many calories are there in... Dust? Anybody?

Steam is slipping.

Fallout NV Ultimate is $5 here:
http://www.getgamesgo.com/product/fallout-new-vegas-ultimate-pack

with Steam codes.

Done, thank you

EDIT - registered on Steam, and Steam now says I have Fallout NV - but not the Ultimate Edition ?

Thanks. I'm in for the Queen game.

 

[liezryou]

From what I understand Rome still needs a few big patches to be at an optimal level. That and the $30 price tag is why I'm still holding off.

I've said it before i think but renjility on the b/s/t thread has it for 15$ with the pre-order dlc.

 

[fantomena]

I read Fapsized lol.

 

[Applesauce]

Anyone in need of a snow globe #5, I need a 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9. Steam profile link in my GAF profile.

 

[Benedict]

I have an extra keycode for EDF somewhere...

 

[Chunky]

Yeah, I pretty much just stopped playing once I 100%ed it but maybe a little friendly competition will rekindle that spelunking fire.

Shit... I can't even imagine what 100% Spelunky is like.
I've only just swapped over from the free version, so my scores probably make me seem like a n00b.

Still, this Daily Challenge shit seems pretty cool!

Giantbomb has an Earth Defense Force quick look if you'd like to see the game.

 

[Hagi]

So whats up with the DLC for Mass Effect 2 not being on Steam? i want to buy the collection but no DLC is making me waver. I loved the two games when i had my 360(RIP).

That's good to know. Just add 1 period in a random spot? I'm gonna try it now.

Edit: Worked perfectly, thanks!

 

[plasmawave]

Can I play games while downloading?

 

[derExperte]

So whats up with the DLC for Mass Effect 2 not being on Steam? i want to buy the collection but no DLC is making me waver. I loved the two games when i had my 360(RIP).

Only available through the in-game store which means you'll be paying way too much. ME3 is the same.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Can I play games while downloading?

There's a option in the beta client settings to do so.

 

[RS4-]

Can I play games while downloading?

Yeah, just make sure to alt tab back into the steam client to resume the download

And lol, feels bad, last night I said that TQ and Eden would win...and they did

 

[Triggaaar]

Only Snow Globe #8 required please.
Got number #3, #7 & #10 available.

I'm within touching distance of creating something quite pointless!

 

[Evo X]

The Swapper if fucking BRILLIANT folks! Can't stop playing it.

Strongly suggest picking it up.

 

[Prodigal]

Been waitin' all sale for The Swapper, now is the time!

 

[Mutagenic]

Been playing the heck out of GT6, one of my favorite racing games ever. As someone that purchased both, do you think all the hate on FM5 is warranted? How does it compared to GT6 (or more fairly FM4)? Are the microtranscations that bad?

It was that bad. They tuned it to be more fair, though. The racing feels really good so I live with it.

 

[Vazra]

I voted for Company of Heroes 2. I did the right thing?

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

So Speklunky, is it random dungeons or is there a linear progression with a story?

And I wish Maluana had the option to change to keys around.

 

[denx]

So whats up with the DLC for Mass Effect 2 not being on Steam? i want to buy the collection but no DLC is making me waver. I loved the two games when i had my 360(RIP).

The Mass Effect 2 DLC is only available through the Bioware Social Network. And Bioware points are never on sale. :/

 

[Danielsan]

Just played an hour of The Swapper. God damn this game is fantastic!

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Isn't that EDF the really bad one?

 

[NaM]

I read Fapsized lol.

 

[Vecks]

just added you.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Shhh. No shame now. Only backlog.

lol

 

[Coppanuva]

I have an extra SnowGlobe #6 and #9, looking for: 5, 7, or 8. Anybody want this trade? PM me if so.

 

[Nzyme32]

Yeah, just make sure to alt tab back into the steam client to resume the download

You don't even need to do that any more. Under settings>downloads, set the global setting to always allow downloads in the background. You can either alt tab out to turn it off if you are going to play an online game, or (the better option) right click any game you intend to play online and set to not allow downloads in the background (unless you want ridiculous ping and you want to get kicked from servers). Alternately, for online games, you can set steam to throttle download speeds, if you absolutely have to download while playing online, although I have no idea if that's gonna work.

I think, correct me anyone if I'm wrong, you can get them through your Live account if you bought them through XBLA.

You'd have to unlock them through BioWare/EA though by connecting your Live account.

 

[Rickenslacker]

If anyone wants to add me to fill more of their Spelunky daily leaderboard entries feel free: http://steamcommunity.com/id/buysomeapples/

I've been getting embarrassingly low scores lately, I get rusty only playing once a day.

So Speklunky, is it random dungeons or is there a linear progression with a story?

And I wish Maluana had the option to change to keys around.

Randomized levels with a linear progression. No real story to speak of.

 

[someguyinahat]

Crafted my snowglobe! I got a background (worth 4 cents apparently) and a "rare emoticon" - ooh, gotta be worth something! ... 13 cents. What you guys are selling that you're managing to purchase games with them is beyond me.

 

[plasmawave]

[Chunky]

That feeling you get when you see a game on sale, click on a game to find out more about it, then watch the trailer and say to yourself, "damn that shit looks cool. might need to pick this up..."

....only to scroll down and find out that you actually own it and have no idea when you bought it.

Feels like shame. Yep, shame.

The Humble Bundle's have turned this sale into a train of shame for me. I should not be allowed to spend my own money over the internet. Or in general...

 

[Coppanuva]

Going to bring this to the new page since it was last on the previous one.

Ok. Still pretty fun but it seems like more of a high scoring/challenge game. Not really my kind of plat forming. I prefer games like LaMulana.

 

[Metroidvania]

I think, correct me anyone if I'm wrong, you can get them through your Live account if you bought them through XBLA.

You'd have to unlock them through BioWare/EA though by connecting your Live account.

Whoa, what?

This could change my not getting ME2, but I can't imagine that EA would let you skip out on double dipping.

 

[mannerbot]

So Speklunky, is it random dungeons or is there a linear progression with a story?

And I wish Maluana had the option to change to keys around.

There's no story, and the levels themselves are randomly generated but there's a set order of worlds with 4 levels per world.

 

[RS4-]

Thanks did not know that, I guess it's a little weird since I don't have those options in the Metro skin, aside from limiting the bandwidth

Each of the cards you used would have netted you more than that, you sell the cards, not the craft rewards!

Unless of course you get absurdly lucky in this instance and net one of the rare game items as one of the rewards.

 

[Polishin8r]

Might & Magic IV or Risk of Rain?

what's cracking, playas.

 

[Decker]

I got Spelunky and it's very nice game

the only thing I don't like about it is sometimes control are confusing

for example you automatically grab the ledge by moving towards, but for the lianas/ropes you have to press up or you will simply fly through them

or you go up a ladder reaching a platform, you are on the top, platform is exactly on your side but you can't go left/right, you need to jump

I think it's counterintuitive and can cause frustrating deaths

I am at second world (jungle), any tips to kill/distract piranas ?
