STOP SHITTING ON MY MOTHER'S HEADSTONE
You got it? Then I think it should be okay.

Yeah, everything was good. ModBot got confused and called it the franchise pack, but I just assumed he'd been hitting the sauce pretty hard on his birthday.

Thanks, by the way! :D

Haha, I'd likely switch to my former non-Saoirse avatar and cease updating the appreciation thread if the stars align and we wind up working together on something. Not to "hide" from the whole celebrity crush thing (which I should probably note wouldn't be a factor in me pursuing her for a role -- I mean, it'd be great to actually meet her one day, however I wouldn't cast her in something just for the sake of that), but rather because it'd probably feel weird.

That, and the tabloids would be all over it.

So, some low risk raffle risk. One of this Papo & Yo keys is the game + the soundtrack, the others are only the game. It's a fantastic game. 1 hour left.

listen to the mad man
If you like the movement and aesthetics of Thomas Was Alone but wish they were even more minimal and almost kind of trippy, and you like the rhythm elements of Beatbuddy or Sony's Sound Shapes, and you're looking for a short game with no narrative and awesome rhythm-shmup-ish bosses, then you want to play 140. It's really quite pretty, it lasts maybe 35-40 minutes total (there are only three stages), there are no hidden items or collectibles. Very satisfying, and I highly recommend it. No trading cards and achievements are limited to beating the game and beating the NG+ levels (same levels but backwards and without checkpoints) you unlock when you beat the game.

I'd post screenshots, but you'd just be looking at a few squares and some wiggly lines, you wouldn't even really be aware of what you're looking at.

It's $1 with some other stuff on

I've watched like 15 movies with saorise ronan(sp?) and my girlfriend thinks I've got a celeb crush on her because I keep recognizing her. I keep having to explain it's because that one guy on that forum has an avatar of her he constantly updates ensuring my ability to recognize her face is in optimal operating condition. I think JaseC needs to change his avatar to non ronan today if only to prevent my girlfriend from thinking I'm crushing on celebs.

Started up Betrayer. First intrigued by the setting, but got bored very fast after around half an hour. Is there something more to this game later on?

On a side note, my wife loves it for whatever reason - she's playing it now for hours. But, my first question still stands, she's always dying after the first village. So, I still didn't see anything 'new'. :)

you get new weapons and that's pretty much it, the "objective" to each area stays the same
around mid-way through the game when you find better stuff the game becomes more action-y since you can just go in and 360tomohawknoscope everything
 

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Would Steam freak out if I idled for cards with SAM while I legitimately played a different Steam game?

You can only do this when using the app id trick, however it breaks Steamworks integration in the game you're actually playing since as far as Steam is concerned you're in-game in something else.

It's not 3,000 games, but I recommend any FPS fans who didn't jump on Gunslinger during the summer sale enter to get this one. It's a good time.

thanks, entered! I was close to buying this during the steam sale but couldn't find my wallet and then forgot about it lol

I tried to add JaseC,same error I experimented for Shadownet :S

Hmm, my friends list should have one free slot (I don't think I have Enco as a friend so I had to delete someone).

I've used SAM to idle for cards in one game while playing another game just fine.

That Mr. Orange is proposing a new Steam news thread, the purpose this thread originally served, is pretty telling. The vast majority of the content of these threads is unrelated to Steam news, it's give aways, discussing humble bundles, .gifs and insular thread-community posting. I just waded through the last 6 pages to find one post with Grid Autosport impressions buried under giveaway posts and reactions to giveaways.

What a bummer. :/
Well, at least my wife gets a few (whenever she stops out of frustration) hours playtime out of it. Maybe I will look around in some *.ini files (if there are any) to make the game easier.

I liked it quite a lot, but unfortunately the community was limited even near launch. It's clearly not realistic, but as a sort of self-contained, weird, little 30 minute multiplayer experience it was very enjoyable, and who can complain about free?

i think i logged on one in the early days and haven't touched it since. but that someone took the time to do Space Oddity in it makes me happy
