You guys don't mention Enhanced Steam strongly enough.

I mean, I know everybody always posts pictures of it and brags about how great it is and worships the ground jshackles walks on for making it, but somehow I never bothered installing it until recently. And I'm blaming each and every one of you for it taking this long.

edit: Also, Speedrunners. Since it was mentioned above. Everybody needs Enhanced Steam and Speedrunners. Go fix these deficiencies in your life.

They're still giving me free money. I don't even know what I'm getting it for but I got $1.21 right now, I know I had 80c the other day.

Some people were complaining on the previous page, that's all.


There were some changes recently though. http://blog.playfire.com/2014/07/wednesdays-rewards-02072014.html

Haha, such great rounds, thanks for uploading those clips.

I'm sure you both will be real tough opponents anytime soon, just need to know the levels.

Talking about favourite games of 2014 so far I wonder what the policy will be with SteanGAFs GOTY awards? So far Resi 4, MGS: Rising and Killer is Dead are high on my fav games (re)played this year. Resi despite being one if the tightest games ever in terms of polish and pacing was a slightly different experience at 60fps, Rising was more of the same but a stable framerate really helped appreciate the encounters and KiD at stupidly high resolutions and 60fps make that game even more awesome.

First time PC releases were counted last year. At least, Spelunky was ranked despite it being released on 360 in 2012.

In most cases I find that "funny" games really don't do much for me humor-wise. But I have to say that the cutscenes in Battleblock Theater are pretty legit funny to me. I won't claim any laughing out loud, but I do actually look forward to the next little skit when clearing a level. Love the voice acting work.

I wonder if you could make an actual Waifu Simulator. And by that, I mean you play the waifu. Like, you're an anime woman for hire who has to take jobs in shitty fanservice games and you have to do dumb shit to improve your waifu reputation and get into bigger-budget games and start taking jobs in cross-promotional products and multimedia franchises.

You could even add a whole bunch of sly, self-reflexive commentary and make it a feminist critique of fanservice, or alternately go the opposite route and basically fill it with sexy embarrassment (embare-assment lol)/best girl tropes. Either way, there needs to be a hardcore business management sim behind all this, where you eventually become the owner of your own insanely powerful waifu empire with slovenly otaku audiences eating out of your hands while you drain their wallets. It can be like Euro Truck Simulator 2, where you start out doing your own jobs and eventually work your way up to having a stable full of vocaloid idol groups.

I feel dirty even sketching out the idea this much.

Cool, I registered my Playfire account a while back and was silly and used a different e-mail.

I asked about changing it and they said I have to wait for some merging tool that they're gping to release soon...
Click to expand...

Yeah same problem. I've got like £12 on my account waiting, but can't use it till they add the merging. Can't believe it's taking so long honestly. You'd think it be one of the first things they'd do.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Well, Guess I was wrong. I googled for an OT, and found nothing. Either GAF hates Shmups, or it did not get coverage outside the steam thread. Good to see it got exposure though, more games like it would be awesome.

I guess this is game over since I achieved max harem crew level.
Anyway, the game itself is atrocious, the characters are worse then generic and the graphics besides the VN parts would be laughed at even during PS1 era.

I don't mean to get all testimonial in here, but the small UI improvements all just add up to so much. I made that post after I saw a coupon notification on the sales page for a game. I never knew I wanted that feature.

If you like SHMUP, you should also check out Crimzon Clover, Danmaku Unlimited 2, Jamestown and Ikaruga are all on steam as well :D
