I did an LP of it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K6BBKTNSZ0&index=20&list=PLdC3pP79J-A9vVBkItqiJkURqd3aUW2Lv

It's not quite tetris. The best I can explain is that it's like rubbing your stomach and patting your head at the same time.

You need to drop the correct pieces of the castle in the right spot and also defend your castle with the right defense mechanism.

It's unique and the later levels hurt my brain.
I love that description but It kind of sounds like it may be a great tablet/mobile game.

I am gonna watch that video when I get on my puter. Thanks for the impressions
 
I can't find the option at Enhanced Steam to disable continuous scrolling at curators? I did disable continuous scrolling for search results. Hm.

Also if you call BoF DQ clones... I think you need to replay first DQs to remember how they play and understand how hilariously wrong you are (><)

I replayed the first DQ game yearly each Christmas for quite a while.
BoF is a DQ clone, not DQ1, but it does remind me of the second game the most.
Being a DQ clone is not a bad thing in my book, mind you

OTOH BoF2 has horrible translation, probably the worst ever and I remember you being really picky about that, so consider yourself warned

This exists, thought you knew.

It's strange you decided to drop it, tho, seeing as it is a short game and you are in for another record on played games this year!

Still thinking about it, the amount of random battles does decrease my enjoyment of the game though. :\
Also, HLTB pegs the game at 30 hours, that's not short? o_O
 
Today I found out that Argentina isn't part of America, because America is the US and only that.

Why did I start to post stuff in the Steam Community hubs :(

The USA think they're the world, but they're not even half of America. Don't let them fool you into thinking otherwise.

I've got a modbot question. How is this possible:
Angels of Fasaria -- MB-38550A7C969DEF30 - Taken by C4rter. 2 entrants total.

Well, I know what the "2 entrants" means, but I entered for the the game after the raffle was finished. It wasn't taken and I did want it so I entered for the game.

As far as I understand the raffle business after it's finished, I should be the only contestant, right? But somehow it says: "2 entrants total"

How can that be and why did he not get it because he must have entered before me.

It's the second time I noticed that, the first time was even more curious:
Sequence -- MB-4873D246CA4848C3 - Taken by C4rter. 7 entrants total.

If they somehow did not qualify for the raffle, why were they even counted as entrants?

Someone in-eligible entered before?

I think that the people who are arguing with me about that in the Community forums probably skipped geography classes, because it's awful how they defend their posture without a care in the world.
 
There was a pay-it-forward when I posted, so nobody grabbed this. I still want someone to take it :p

So when Europeans ask "why do Americans clap after every meal?" they are also referring to people from Central and South American countries?

This. It's just how modbot works. It still counts those who are ineligible as entrants, but Stump could probably tell you more about it.
 
Wow, quite a lot of giveaways today. XD

The Humble Weekly Bundle Eye Candy 2 ends in less than two days. Lovely Planet for $1 is pretty much worth it. Overall, it's a pretty nice bundle. Here's a quick look at some of the games for those who are too lazy to click and also links to the OTs for some impressions.

What the hell are these games, anyway? Are they like actual cartoon porn or just some stupid anime girls dressed in lingerie and saying innuendo?

Fetish simulators. Want to date(rape) a bird? What about a cat girl or a fox girl? Personally, I'm wating for the Adventure Time VN so I can get a shot at Breakfast Princess. I mean, I don't normally eat Breakfast, but sometimes you can't say no to bacon...

frost is that really you?

Hrmmm?

What I voted for, and in all red so it catches everyone's attention. Spoiler tags are for fools.
Game 5 (1 point) : Planetarian: The Reverie of a Little Planet
Game 4 (2 points) : Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z
Game 3 (3 points) : Valkryia Chronicles
Game 2 (4 points) : Dark souls 2 (B team lol)
Game 1 (5 points) : Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

MGR was just a great game, and executing perfect parries was just so satisfying. Really the most fun I had playing a game in a long time. Soundtrack was damm stellar, and how the music was mixed ( I guess that's what you would call it) during boss fights was amazing. Only buffoons would hate that sweet soundtrack. There were a lot of great games released last year, so coming up with my picks was mad hard. Nahh it was actually easy to pick.

Pffft. Fuck the term "perfect parry". But your list is pretty AmazingBalls®.


Game 5 (1 point) : Divinity: Original Sin
Game 4 (2 points) : Endless Legend
Game 3 (3 points) : Wolfenstein The New Order
Game 2 (4 points) : Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Game 1 (5 points) : The Wolf Among Us

that's mine. Yeah typical I know.

Surprised Shadow of Mordor wasn't your #1.
At least it wasn't Wolfenstein. ;)

That happens when you allow homeschooling.

Boo, I thought you could just use gems for crafting booster packs. :(
How else am I going to make money from the anime waifu loving steam users....?
Would be terrible. I made lots of money, this can't just end!!

Cant craft gems anymore :( Is Steam borked?

It's January.

The dream is over, friend.

Wait, what? When did this happen? Was there an announcement? I swear at this point the only thing the people who work on Steam do is fuck with us.

Edit: Booster creator is still there if you follow the direct link, but clicking the link on the gems doesn't seem to do anything any more. My guess is they are just transitioning the interface and either fucked something up or disabled it temporarily. Wonder if the background prices will drop in the meantime...

Edit 2: Gem creation seems to be back.

Edit 3: Oh yeah, it's Tuesday.

Link still works fine for me.
