One level away from beating Ride to Hell.
I can do it!

So what am I supposed to do with the whole one M&M code I have that I can no longer submit it for $6 dollars worth of free steam monies? That was my meal ticket during the summer sale because I'm poor.

Give it to morningbus?

Sucks that it was pushed back from June to July, won't be able to pick up, same with Unrest. Always the future sales and bundles though.
Why else would the name be "woo and indeed hoo?"

Busy with life.
Well I hope so. Needs less animu in it for starters.
Game looks interesting. Thanks for putting up a OT.

Yep, it took me around that time as well. Did you also play with no upgrades and no kills? That's what I did for my first playthrough. I loved my little piles of sleeping guards.
I should really buy this game on PC with the DLCs at some point.
I see, thank you.
Over 12 hours into Divinity, feels like I've barely even begun. Glad I gave up on winning a raffle and just bought it.
It's a great game. I have around 40 hours now and I just began exploring the second map.

So I think it was on Rock Paper Shotgun I read that Wolfenstein: New Order was a sequel of sorts to Raven's Wolfenstein from 2009. Since I own the game I figured I'd install it and give Wolf '09 another shot. I played it for about two hours back when it first came out, got bored and gave up. I'm mainly interested in Wolfenstein '09 because of its connection to New Order, things like Caroline Becker and BJ's relationship. It's alluded when they first meet in New Order but their connection, their past history isn't really explained in any sort of detail and I'd kind of like to see what it is. Along with whatever other connections Wolf '09 has to New Order.
Man, the difference between the two games is night and day. Both games are dealing with a fantastic revisionist history but Wolfenstein '09 is so campy, cheesy and one dimensional compared to New Order. The difference between the two is pretty well summed up by their different takes on BJ Blazkowicz.
Blazkowicz in Wolf '09 is a generic brown haired 30 something white guy that would be perfectly at home in so many games from the last generation whereas Blazkowicz in New Order looks like the original sprite re-imagined for a modern game.
Another thing that really jumps out is the quality of the voice work. In New Order the language and accents--Polish, German, English--all sound genuine. In Wolf '09 it sounds like a bunch of American voice actors making terri-bad German accents. It's so jarring that it constantly takes me out of the game.
Both games have a central hub that you return to between missions, but Isenstadt is just a claustrophobic town that you run through, shoot stuff and explore for secrets like any other level in Wolf '09, it's not the change in pace that New Orders Kreisau Circle Berlin headquarters is. In New Order there's lore to absorb, characters to listen, little quests to complete...or you can simply rush on through to the next level.
From a gameplay perspective Wolfenstein '09 feels super kludgy, I feel like I constantly have to be in the veil to simply get decent movement speed. Otherwise the game moves at a crawl. Wolf '09 is kind of run and gun-y but it kind of isn't as well with the whole "get behind cover, you need to regenerate health" schtick.
I'll keep playing Wolf '09 but it definitely hasn't aged well nor does it compare well against New Order.

Same, plates, gold cups and paintings were my primary source of income until I have emptied Cyseal.It's a great game. I have around 40 hours now and I just began exploring the second map.

The best kind of hands!
When playing Skyrim I'd use the console to increase my carry weight whenever I hit the limit so I could continue pilfering literally everything. My 80-odd hour save disappeared but I must have had well over 1,000 cabbages and the like, haha.

Yep, I've ammassed around 80K after Cyseal.
There's just one elusive magical lock that I'll need to come back to.
Ahah. Thankfully I never had this impulse in a TES game. I did pickpocket every interesting person I found, though.
I tried to be non-lethal for the most part, only got a few kills per mission. I upgraded too, it just didn't seem fun without the powers.

These guys have a permanent place on my machine. Also, I'm not going to be there for the DOOM reveal, which is lame but un-negotiable.

Are any of those any good?
I don't suppose there are three people here who are interested in splitting a Magicite four-pack? $1.89 per head.
I can confirm they're good at increasing your game count!

Is that 1950s Luke Perry?
So, I ate the worst Chinese food in the entire world for dinner in my room right before playing Guacamelee. Now whenever I think about Guacamelee, I remember the putrid smell of the bad Chinese food and kind of never want to play it again, oh no!!
Guacamelee is great, though! You guys should all try it out if you haven't already. I'm loving the art style a lot.

I've never really noticed it before, but 09 Blazkowicz really looks like Alex Shepherd.
The Samaritan Paradox is supposed to be a pretty decent old style point and click adventure game.
You have something against supporting charity?
I'd like to know as well! Legend of Persia looks like a nice retro RPG.

You're a cool looking guy Chuck
But I am no Power Ranger/Sentai?!
Seriously. Really? Isnt the pic too small to make that out?
Well, I kind of agree. My second playthrough was a high chaos one where I killed everything that moved. It was more fun, but I found my first playthrough more rewarding.
I must add that I'm kinda crazy when it comes to this type of games
If it smelled bad why did you eat it then you silly person?
I should get around to playing Guacamelee one day...
First of all thanks to Dupy for Transformers Wars of Cybertron. .
I finished the Decepticons campaign on coop in hard(4 hours). Is just awesome mindless fun. The game has a very good gameplay dynamic. With a good use of the franchise(Michael Bay fuck you)
In the other hand is a lazy console port with lack of communication on the online mode, with a sad 30 fps.
Do it people.
(And other thing always are people playing the coop campign.)

I would figure as much if you're linking it! I'll probably hold off.
I gave to a lot of charities. Does it make me bad for taking a short break?

You probably have anxiety or something similar.
That just means that you have been trained to be assimilated into the corporate machine.
