my first post on the first Steam thread is apparently about TF2 sync issues

but this is my second one:

awhyeah

OK, now wish for Half-Life 3.

 

[Salsa]

also the notion that the first Steam thread reached the page limit in just short of 3 years is hilarious

 

[Jawmuncher]

Pretty sure my first post in a steam thread was asking about the title.
Recall it was something ridiculous and obviously a injoke that I wanted to know.

 

[Turfster]

wat

Hey, I've got other stuff to track... and you know, that pesky work thing to do. =p

 

[Mokoi]

It's "The Plan," an interactive art experience thing not unlike Gone Home and Dear Esther.

Oh that's cool I downloaded it, but i'll play it later though.

Spoiler

Probably won't

Well looks like I will be posting here from now on too after the amazing sale threads I want to thank every single person here who made me read about Astebreed! I like shumps but they aren't my favorite genre or anything close but damn this game is something else... Originally I was skeptical since the graphics and art seemed a bit eh for 20€ but now I kind of regret not giving Edelweiss their full money because of the Steam Sale. Seeing it in motion with 60fps and in 1080p plus hearing the music and the entire prologue... I am blown away, top contender for best game I ever got during a sale

Heck if I find the time I'm contemplating to make a OT for it as there seemingly isn't one yet, everyone who said it's the closest thing to Zone of the Enders 3 we ever get was so right. Kojima should freelance hire Edelweiss and give them the resources and the FOX Engine to make ZoE3 however they want on PS4/XBOX/PC and it will be the most glorious thing on earth! Alternatively they could take the engine and make Astebreed 2

But yeah I should stop gushing, this game took me by surprise and I'm so glad I listened to SteamGAF

It's so good! Glad you liked it. There was a thread telling people to buy it, but it seemed like everybody ignored it. It would be nice to have an Asssstebreed 2 or game of that nature.

3 days is a nice change of pace

The idea of an old man telling his grandchildren about Steam giveaways made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

SALE IS OVER

(Now time for bundle talk!)

I don't trust people who end posts with periods

 

[Adnor]

The weird thing isn't giveaways after a sale, but a day without giveaways thing that has never ever happened.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

SALE IS OVER

(Now time for bundle talk!)

New Groupees GL Bundle looks shit.

New Indiegala bundle. Dont know what to think of it. Bought it, but no clue if the games are good.

 

[Jawmuncher]

SALE IS OVER

(Now time for bundle talk!)

ill say it. bundles seem to be a little lackluster as of late.
though that one bundlestars bundle with harvester and system shock 2 made up for that.

 

[Volimar]

The only thing different about giveaways outside of the summer sale is that I have a shot to win.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Speaking of which, someone has to do the daily/midweek update and the possible humblebundle update tomorrow. I'll be at the doctor's during those times -_-

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

i thought the stand-in for a sarcasm font was to ignore capitalization and sentence-ending punctuation

 

[iosefe]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Mokoi]

to think i used to write all proper-like with like capitalizing and shit

I always try to write proper. However, I'm pretty sure my grammar skills suck so I avoided writing detailed reviews of things.

I don't trust people who end posts with periods

Do you trust me?

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Do you trust me?

Hmmmm

 

[morningbus]

yeah that works really well

I can take the reigns if no one else will.
hope your doctor stuff isnt anything serious.

They're mostly bundled games too, outside of a few.

Nah, that's when you end sentences without punctuation only, that way I can tell the difference between a zkylon post and someone else's

Let's light the fires and spintires

I didn't know I wanted this. Thanks for offering it!

Hmm...a memory issue. I don't run my PC 24/7, but I haven't rebooted it since turning it on this morning.

Every time I have an issue with a PC game, it's either low memory (thanks, chrome!), heat (thanks, SoCal!), or strange issues specific to a game requiring a reboot between install and play (but this is rare). I hope you're able to get past the stuttering, though-- it's a pretty fun game to play for hours on end.

Well, I guess you could say the Steam Summer Sale has Gone Home.

Get it? Gone Home?

Get it???

Just in case you didn't get it, here's your chance (plus a few Desura keys)!

I hope everyone gets on this.

Spoiler

And discovers the ghost.

 

[KenOD]

This poor thread needs more Type:Rider in it. A platformer all about the history of font through the years.

but this is my second one:

awhyeah

I remember thinking to myself way back then: "This would be great if they could just get the big publishers on board!" ... and now I find myself playing mostly indie games.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I better cut it out then. I don't want people discoveringthinking that I'm a zkylon alt.

Well, it's still my arm.
Doctor gave me some stuff and said "come back in 2 weeks if this doesn't help."
It's been 2 weeks, so...

Everybody stop what you're doing, and buy Remember Me.

No questions. Just do it.

It's weird, zky. It usually drives me up a wall when people don't capitalize or use punctuation. Doesn't bug me when you do it, though. Kind of like reading free verse.

Oh shit the Nozomi has been flipped!

Time to move on back to finishing up Dark Souls now that I've completed Valiant Hearts. Yee Buddy it's Anor Londo time!

Ahhh ok. Hopefully this time it'll get sorted out.

 

[Dambrosi]

Yeah he was pretty terrible.
I wrote about it before but it would have been a far more interesting "art' game if perhaps the things you had done while at the table influenced what he actually said or did.

Now, see, that would be interesting. The Dinner Date dev was too interested in being "deep" to worry about that.

Oh, and can you guys cool it with the Astebreed praise, please? For my sake? Every time I see yet another gushing post about the game, I die a little inside. All because some prick on eBay wouldn't pay for their shit. Oh, I mad. I positively turning muscly and green and HULK SMASH.

 

[Ventara]

you must be new

This is the second time you're pointing out I'm new, lol. Yes, I'm fresh off the boat and like a fat man discovering donuts for the first time, I am loving everything about Steam gaf and completely savoring in all the awesomeness that it is.

Anyways, I decided to check out my Steam backlog. Out of 347 games, I have only played 64 games, only 32 of which I have played more than an hour, and only 15 of those which I have played long enough to say I've "finished" them. I hope you guys are just as crazy so I don't feel as bad about this.

it's all thanks to my like stream-of-consciousness gonzo style of posting

no time for silly things like periods and whatchamacallits

 

[Levyne]

Damn, how'd this thread get to page 8 already. Jesus.

So yeah, Divinity is fun and it's going to kill sooooo much time.

looks even more shady now
