Well, I am really furious right now since I can't buy the discounted Ys games due to my late salary again. Any tips guys as to where can I buy them at these prices later? I don't want to just wait for a modbot raffle since I really liked the games on the PSP but I have no cash to spare for them.

Should be able to buy them later from the Russians on somewhere like tfoutpost.com

It's an incredible game. Can't wait to play Beyond: Two Souls and Indigo Prophecy.

Yea it really gripped me. I ended up getting the Platinum in heavy rain just because I wanted to see all the different endings. I need to play beyond as well... Have had it since Christmas but Yea, backlog. I really liked the first 1/2 to 2/3 of Indigo prophecy but it definitely gets weird.

Not to mention the M&B steam key is considered a duplicate - guess someone already claimed it.

wow it's almost like there's some exact purpose that modbot exists for, to prevent this kind of mess from happening.

i have no idea why people do a my loot and then post their steam keys manually. the games are going to get given away in the mega junk giveaways we do, and in the mean time it's just as easy for you to PM the keys to modbot and put the anonymous rule on them to repost through modbot, which helps by ensuring proper giveaway statistics and automatically marks stuff as taken when it's taken. same thing with "i'm too lazy to use modbot, so first come first serve" or "i'm too lazy to use modbot, so first to quote me gets it"--that's one of the many reasons why anonymous giveaways exist, to make the 2-step process of PMing modbot and then posting into a 1-step process. if you post it, you're making more work for yourself.

i mean, they're your keys, you're under no obligation to use modbot at all, go give them away on reddit or have an ms paint contest or whatever, it's all you. but let's not pretend the tool has no objective value in terms of sorting out the problems manual giveaways invariably have ;)

Finally got around to finishing Shank 2. Those last couple Boss fights were terrible, they basically boiled down to "Let's throw a bunch of mooks at the player so they don't kill the Boss in 30 seconds."

Monster Ate My Birthday Cake looks like a neat puzzle game. Also looks cute as shit. I look forward to getting it

Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake impressions (IOS):
Successfully Kickstarted over a year ago, Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a charming new puzzle game, the debut title of SleepNinja Games. While it shares elements with other games in the genre, Monsters stands out due to its colorful cute visuals, a narrative, varied mechanics, and just offering a fun polished puzzle adventure experience.

While many puzzles games are simply a series of challenges, Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake presents its brain-teasers withing the framework of an interesting story and design more akin to an RPG than your usual puzzle game. You play as Niko, a young boy who wakes to find his birthday ruined when the nefarious Boogins steal his precious cake. This theft sets him on an adventure across the various areas of Gogapoe island, where dangers and new friends await. Most puzzle games would be content with a simple string of levels, but Monsters lets you explore Niko's village, take with villagers for side quests, visit shopkeepers along your journey to purchase new items and outfits: a fleshed-out structure that adds purpose to your puzzle solving.

But the meat of the game is obviously the puzzles and in that regard, Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake delivers a polished array of challenges. Niko and the monster friends he meets along the way each have their own unique abilities, useful in their own way: pulling and pushing blocks, an obstacle- and enemy- crushing ramming dash, a shriek that destroys obstacles and stuns enemies, and more. You have to use these abilities in conjunction to open blocked paths, avoid or defeat the varied Boogin enemies, and collect coins, keys, and pieces of cake. The enemies also add their own puzzle element, as one must rush at you when you enter its line of sight, another may patrol an area, or unleash a shriek of its own that disables your special abilities. Figuring how to move through the levels, how you need to work together, timing and syncing your movements makes Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake a fun game, and special objectives such as not using a certain abilities or not killing enemies adds extra challenge and replay value.

Personally I think Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake controls well; you simply draw your character's path and double tap to activate your abilities. The game is easy to play, allowing the visuals and overall polish to shine. From the character bios in your journal and the notes you find along the way, to the charming aesthetic, to the varied puzzles and the game's RPG-esque elements, to the story framework that ties it all together, Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a complete wonderfully-crafted package.

It took me an hour to beat the jungle priestess.
Definitely not as good as the first.

Hey bros. Traveling four hours in a car to NYC today. Wish me luck. Won't be on much this weekend. I may check on my phone but probably not.


Good times are coming.

I wonder what's going on with Blinkbundle, they had a bundle every month and last they had was back in May.

One of the curators was posting pretty regularly on the Steam community bundle thread and said they had something in the works but that was before the Summer sale and he hasn't posted anything since.

PSA: Stump has fixed the ModBot bug (thx for the good/fast work!), looks like 'Free for all' didn't work and only the first entries from everyone were counted.

It's good that it is fixed
Too bad that I missed the Sakura Spirit giveaway because of this bug

I totally would have won Alien and Abyss Odyssey. Time for a lawsuit!

Guys, should I get 'cartoon porn simulator 2014'? I mean, all I see in my activity feed is shiny boobs, loli faces and waifus.

I also have little self control right now and don't want to do anything I will regret.

You should check out nbnt's steam screenshots. Dude is an artist.
But yeah, don't know what to expect from sakurai.

Wait, I won Arma II ? Woot! Since the third won't run on my machine, this is very nice.
