That's why I like my avatar, I can change it but I will always keep that Huggy Border so it will usually be recognizable. I like my current avatar too much so it's probably gonna stay, but here's my OG avatar.



And for the record, I had my avatar for a month before the Alpacalypse!

I like the idea. I should stick to skeletons. Let me get an Ariana Grande avatar.

And 50 hours later, Risen is done, one more game out of the backlog. I had a lot of fun, but the final boss was lame. Not that I have it, but I heard Risen 2 was significantly worse than the original? Anybody here who played it want to confirm or deny that?

While it is worse than the first, pretty much undeniably, I still enjoyed it quite a bit.

Just played through the first four episodes of The Wolf Among Us. They're pretty short but great. Can't wait for episode 5 on Tuesday

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.

Goat Simulator worth it for 6 dollars? It seems like a lot of fun, and I can get it for free with my Playfire rewards credit.

It's stupid, and kinda fun. Worth $6? Not really... worth having some beers and playing for a few hours.. yes. It's more a toy than a game though.

You're making me want to give Risen another shot. I only made it 52 minutes in before writing it off with an "I'll wait for the presumably-more-exciting pirate-themed sequel".

Finally playing AC: Liberation on PC.

Is this game poorly optimized or something? Noticing weird stuttering every so often. (AC3 ran at 60 w/o issues on the same exact rig, and this is a Vita port...)

Tons of artifacts on my ATI card supposedly due to using update to date drivers. Crashes every ~30 minutes. Combat feels terrible.

What a waste of $10.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I got some artifacting too on my Nvidia card. I haven't had any crashes, unless you count it popping an error message on close after I messed with the game files to allow downsampling.

Combat gets better as you actually learn stuff. Someone with level 1 combat skills is gonna be shit.

Give it another 52 minutes. The combat is hard at first - you actually have to train sword skill in order to learn how to parry - but over time it gets better.

Are you getting a ton of zombies spawning in walls / awkwardly in the environment too? Seems like there are a few bugs that wouldn't pass cert on consoles. Good to know about the combat.

Just tried out all the other popular Steam skins...
Back to Pixelvision for me.
Click to expand...

Last I checked Pixelvision hadn't been updated in months...
That's a huge reason I stopped using it.

Thinking I might stream while I play. Sniper Elite 3 if anyone is interested... just go to my twitch and check, I guess? :p

I probably won't be in chat much though.

It's not like it needs updating really. The skin is fine as it is and there hasn't been a change in the Steam client's interface in months.

Anyway, all this talk about Divinity last week made me want to try Dragon Commander. I got the game during that Larian Humble Bundle and it's been sitting in my library since.

Anyone want a "66% OFF Age of Empires® III: Complete Collection" coupon?

Just got one for crafting a bad rats badge. Free to a good home (the coupon, not the badge), just give me your steam id

Also as I redeemed the key for Ballpoint universe from humble bundle, there is hammerwatch on sale for 1.99.

I waited for it, as a flash sale or daily, the last summer sale but it didnt get any, so if anyone want it now is the chance!

I know the feeling. I thought Dragon Commander looked great and picked it up during the Steam Sale. I got the cards out of it but never played it. Such is the life of Steam GAF I guess.

Except that this time I actually plan on playing the game *gasp*. I'm downloading the game right now in fact.

Risen gets a lot of hate for not being Gothic. Risen 2 gets even more hate because it's even less Gothic than the first Risen.

I enjoyed Risen 2 and thought it was better than Risen in a lot of ways.

I couldn't get into Gothic because of its janky control scheme. If it had mods to change it, I might give it a try again.
