Oh that's fine with me, I'm more partial to lighter stuff these days, so I'm more encouraged to watch it haha.
I know about most of the worlds actually, but as I said hadn't read the comic in years heh.

Ah, fair enough, didn't really feel like it was a spoiler but I'll air on the side of caution. You might also want to spoiler tag your quotes of my post then!
Well, you've one more Summer Sale to go until they expire.
You silly goose, I ended up buying back during Summer Sale already
Though I haven't touch it for more than 10 mins. Look like there's a lot of options in the game. Its kinda overwhelming the amount of things you can do 0.o
There was like 20 different boxes and screens you can click on.
I should sit down and try it again sometimes.

Well, the beta gets updated from time to time. They recently added Nvidia encoding support.
It's been getting updates pretty much every week in the beta client. The 26th June update brought this little nugget.
About the time streaming disabled Mac and Linux streaming that I started to get issues but after the public release it's been pretty flawless. Haven't tried any DX9 stuff in a while but hardware encoding should really solve the issue I was having there with massive latency spikes.
Edit: Aaaaand beaten by seconds
Hahahaha that's just brilliant and evil. How long has the Stanley Parable been out? I'm surprised this has only just happened.
All the 400 Days protagonists
that decide to join Tavia were cameos in the last episode. I think Eddie, Wyatt's friend will show up in the next episode and I really hope that Nate, the creepy truck dude will show up too

My bad! I was talking about Once Upon a Time! Really dig that show and will have to give Grimm a shot myself.

I loved TWD S1 despite all this. The journey was too good to let the false illusion of choice ruin it.
This isn't like Mass Effect 3, where the destination is a clusterfuck and the journey has several terrible moments. Here I thought the ending made sense and had a relation to the decisions I'd been making. Sure, the game is mostly linear, but it worked for me. I believed it, I accepted and embraced the trick, and I loved it.
Some leftover bundle fodder. Bridge It is pretty good if you're into bridge building games, and Skyscraper Simulator is entertaining enough for an hour or 2, but the rest are pretty trashy and only useful for +1 your inventory....Anyways - Enjoy!

Ooohhh nice. As much shit I give Valve for not improving their UI or usability of the client, stuff like Streaming and even the Music beta are going from strength to strength. Windowed hardware accel as well as OGL support might have me setting up a dual boot Linux distro in the future.

Yeah he's the one I really want to see too, hopefully they do something with those characters, it would be a real shame otherwise. Also
if I'm not mistaken, the characters that go with Tavia can be different, If I remember right that was a player choice at the end, could be wrong though, haven't played it in forever. So some characters who didn't go might show up for some players.

The Music beta hasn't been touched for a long time. Still no desktop view added and still only mp3 support.
Opps sorry should have clarified that I meant that at least Valve are adding to the client. Granted there are still lots of little tweaks, changes and additions that their competitors have and enough issues for Jshackles to fix to last a lifetime but progress is progress. I'd imagine there will be more movement when the time comes for SteamOS to move out of beta but god knows when that will be. We all know what Valve are like with their timescales.
Fixing my fuckup for entering Berlok giveaway without realizing I had the own Serious Sam set from a humble bundle a while back.

Still nothing about the supposed media services. Wonder if they hit a roadblock.

Is there any way to see your game time/achievements for games you don't own but played through game share? Info for them seems to have been removed from the store pages which is how I used to find it. Can write reviews for them though.
Too busy making money off Dota 2.
Dota 2 is awesome, I can't feel angry with Valve for giving it priority over other things.
True, this isn't 100% the kind of dota I hoped for back when IceFrog announced he was working with Valve to bring Dota to Steam - but it's much better than all other MOBAs out there, so whatever.
Some extras.

What did you expect then? Cause this dota is damn near perfect for a f2p game.

He probably thought (like many others) that they'd make a brand new Dota game with their own spin on the genre instead of just bringing it over wholesale.
Tell that to HL fans

It's not a hack and slash, and has turn-based combat.
It really hasn´t many things in common with diablo 3. Maybe you should look into it again before buying it.
The greatest difference is probably that it has turn based combat.
Yeah I did it with Junko. You can have conversations between you and the other player at certain parts. Like when talking to another NPC. The dialogue choices you make give you some points.. For either agreeing or disagreeing with each other.
Don't know exactly what those points does though.

You can't disagree with your partner for eternity, it has to end somehow, a mini game.

D:OS is strictly a keyboard and/or mouse affair - it's not controller-friendly at all.
True, but there should be a reaction from the story as per your disagreement rather than just coming down to "Alright, I'll rock/paper/scissor you for it,' every time.
Of course, I haven't seen it in action or anything, but it seems like a missed opportunity if it just comes down to the Star Wars MMO option of the decision being almost random with which way things happen.
I think it could easily have been considering it's turn based, but they didn't design for it. Which is a shame, I would much prefer controller support, I can't stand point and clicking to move, it's what makes me dislike Dota and Diablo. That said, I'll probably suffer through the annoyance for Divinity at some point since the game seems good.
Or, like, you could create a "completed" category.
Well, I could, but that stops me from having the game in my favourites, or any other category. It'd just be interesting to see which I'd managed to make my way through.

The decision would affect your personality stat.
"Good" is merely an understatement.
