Yeah I didn't read any instructions about the board game before I played it, but it only took about 5-10 minutes to understand the mechanics and the goal of the game. It was actually pretty fun, I'm trying to set up a group sometime tomorrow.

Would be nice. I'll play so long as i'm able easily.

That looks...really good, like an old-style arcade game from the 80's all dolled up like one of your French girls. You certainly won't be giving this Rats game away as a joke.

I see my #Impact with Abyss Odyssey.
Keep it coming.

I'm willing to bet you'll be responsible for 50% of this game's total sales.
[SPOILER]
And 90% of those sales will have been given away on ModBot[/SPOILER]

When all is said and done, I bought my copy.
Now hopefully it turns out well. ACE Team doesn't really have a good track record as far as I'm concerned.
 
So much going on in this thread today. I am close to finishing Banner Saga (I think) and will be happy to post my full impressions after.
 
Any Mac users here? My Mac friend has a modern iMac and only has 8 games attached to his Steam account. It's a real shame, he has a 9 years of service badge. What games can I recommend him that he won't shoot down as a "glorified flash game"..?

I play on a Macbook Pro. I recommend XCOM; Enemy Unknown, Civ V, Rogue Legacy, FTL, Hotline Miami, Mark of the Ninja, Legend of Grimrock, and Guacamelee.

Rock of Ages was good IMO a bit hard later on.

Zeno Clash games melee combat was flawed but overall entertaining games with cool aesthetics and story. I rather play them than Bioshock games. *Puts Flamesuit On*

What, you don't like Zeno Clash? You can't hate Rock of Ages, that's impossible.

No argument here, though I'd rather play them than Bioshock Infinite (in my case). Still, I'd rather play OG Xbox game Breakdown than all of them.

Enjoy this weird mix-bag giveaway! (I hope I didn't mess it up)

Finished up Gone Home.

Really well done game. I loved the 90's nostalgia. Really a game you need to finish in one sitting, which shouldn't be too difficult given it took me 2 hours and I think I explored pretty thoroughly. I really like how the game tackled a 'subject' that hasn't really surfaced seriously in gaming yet.

Not something I would pay full price for, but definitely something people should pick up when discounted.

I'll agree. I was gifted the game and had a good time with it. Not sure how I would've felt if I paid a medium to high price for it.

--

Now the question is: what am I going to stream tonight? :3
I feel like maybe I should go back to getting AAA ranks on Killer is Dead so I can help people convert from the uncertainty to bathing in its absurdly ridiculous awesomeness...

I'm open to suggestions though -- playfire looks like I might be playing Skulls of the Shogun or Stealth Bastard soon...

...WAT.

Sir, do you have a soul? What monstrous demon took it from you?

The Japanese believed that "gingers" were evil spirits.
Some say that "gingers" have no souls.
It's quite possible this is why I give things away via modbot... some misguided attempt to purchase a humanity I've never had.

It's really a shame how juvenile the reaction to this game is. People will down vote any positive review on steam.

Did you
encounter the ghost? (If not, here's how.)
Or
open the safe
?

It seems like most people who lived through the 90s loved it and most people born like after 1994 didn't.

They got stuck at the cassette tapes 'cause there was no bullet point objective list, glowing arrows, mini-map pointing to the tape players, and achievements for good job, you listened to a song.
