Euro Truck Simulator 2 --MB-784689A1F2A3B40D- Taken by _hekk05. 15 entrants total.
I can't say any examples come to mind, but the Skyrim DLC isn't region-locked so you can pick it up on the cheap from a trader.
http://steamsales.rhekua.com/ Data only goes back as far as late November 2010, though. Fable 3's base price prior to it being yanked was $20.

You gotta give me time! :3

Gaahdamn. Clicked continue on the PayPal Steam page to confirm and then the tab auto-closed. Opened it again and it says ' Your transaction is almost complete! Click here if nothing happens.'
Clicked the link and it brings up a Firefox dialog asking to open with the Steam app. Nothing happens. Never had this issue before, but then again I used to use Opera. Hmm.
Checked PayPal and no recent transactions are recorded. I guess I'll have to retry?
Edit: working now.

Why is Guacamelee's appeal obvious and Valdis' isn't?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
The atmosphere and build of the game reminds me more of castlevania but with some beat-em up mechanics in combat. Skill tree also exists and the dungeon is vast. It's sorta like maple story meets castlevania.
Nice. I'm tempted to enter but I know it would just languish in my backlog.
Could be interesting, then.
Time to check out Guacamelee!
edit: what exactly is new/extra/whatever in the Gold edition?
It includes the El Infierno DLC. There's also Steam Workshop support for user-created costumes.
Cook it some more, then.
Quote for new page. some keys are still available.
Of the games I tried Space Pirates and Zombies is easily the best of the bunch, so it's a bit strange to see it still untouched.
Both SPAZ and Nuclear Dawn have trading cards. So I'm basically giving away free money here

I haven't played either game or done much research on either. I've seen a few screenshots from Guacamelee though and can tell it's a day of the dead themed metroidvania brawler loaded with pop culture references. The screens I've seen of Valdis Story don't really stand out or sell me on it.
What's a maple story?
It's a cartoony chibi side scrolling MMO. Weird, but kind of fun.
Art style and atmosphere plus tight gameplay. There is a certain degree of customization about building up your character's abilities and the fighting mechanics work really well, with some hard but fun boss battles, where dodging attacks, building a good string of combo attacks and exploiting patterns makes the difference between ending up dead or alive, and sometimes being alive isn't that cool because you maybe got a bad grade for the boss battle, which means bad stats reward (or no stat reward at all), so you reload and re-try.
It feels a bit like a lite version of a Castlevania SOTN, with a more robust fighting system. At least that's how it felt to me playing it.
Played it to apparent completion once on normal difficulty. It feels incomplete. Ending comes out of nowhere. It's a short game, but there's a decent amount of potential for replayability of you're into higher difficulty levels or trying to beat the game as fast as you can. There are also things you'll probably miss on your first run through, and two characters to play through it with. The combat is fun with all the spells, dashing, and blocking with timed parry. I don't know how much game length matters to you, and I can't compare it to Guacamelee because I haven't played it yet (but I will, thanks sale!) but I would say to wait for a steeper discount than 40% unless you love replaying these kinds of games.
Edit: Agreed with everything Lain said.
Also had to get Cook, Serve, Delicious. Sips convinced me to buy it.
So... 2D Devil May Cry?
That's pretty apt, but no quick weapon swapping. Able to cancel things into each other as long as you're on the ground.
In a way, yeah.

Just wondering does anyone want a copy of Half-Life 2:Episode One? First person to pmed me asking about it, I will send it to you.
I want to keep repping Cook, Serve, Delicious until it is obvious that I'm a viral marketer and I get permed. This despite the fact that I haven't played it and the only thing I know about it is it was made by a GAF'er. I doubt I'll even play it within the next 6 months given my backlog.
HEY EVERYONE BUY COOK SERVE DELICIOUS FOR SOME REASON.
HEY EVERYONE BUY COOK SERVE DELICIOUS FOR SOME REASON.
No air cancels? Well, at least now I have a better idea of what it is. Equipment is also like DMC, where you get set stuff and can upgrade it? I'm asking because the other 2D(-ish) game with awesome combat (including air cancels) is a loot game, and I don't always love random loot.

Hopefully someone doesn't have it already and wants it, really great tower defense game.

Did you ever play Elite or Privateer? Did you like them? If you did, then there is a very good chance you would like playing Euro Truck Simulator 2, because ETS2 is the Elite of driving sims. Think Elite on wheels with internet radio. A fun, relaxing yet tense at times game to play, it's a driving game mixed with business management elements and experience levels with skill points.
It's honestly my game of the year, and I'm not even joking...
Do you mean 33% on top of the 40% off it already has?
Why is Starbound selling so well? What is so good or potentially interesting about that game that makes people want to click "buy" for 15 bucks? The sprite design is so bad. I want to know so that my game can sell a million copies and I never have to work again.

They sprinkled some crack on it.
Yep. It's a straight-forward metroid-like game. It pushes you towards the next goal and gives out upgrades like candy.
Guys please buy the humble bundle. You get games for cheap and if it goes aboves 150k in the next 7 hours they release the source code...and I really want that code...

Starbound = Terraria... in space!
Terraria = 2D Minecraft
Thus:

Grossly oversimplified, but there you have it.

So I bought Metro: Last Light from Amazon and I can't activate it on my europe steam account. Is there any safe way to activate it through a VPN?
It's not really in space though, sadly.
So it's...Terraria (with shittier art)?
Neither was Gangstas In Space, but that doesn't lessen the appeal.
I dunno, I think Starbound's graphics were an improvement over

That's really lame, it should be the other way around, buy the emperor edition and get some extra for their new game.
There's literally nothing that could lessen the appeal of gangstas in space.

I hope they release it as DLC after some time.
