that's way too little! I played 5 or 6 times more of that this year alone, I only finished 18, though. And I don't play a lot, well not that much as some regulars here.
You have no time, or don't want to play?
just curious

The power of Steam. I keep looking at games in the store, thinking "ooh, this looks interesting" and clicking in, only to find I've apparently had it for years.
Tbh that was the case with Normal too, the game is way harder at first and actually gets much easier as you collect weapons and power-ups.
Hmm, it could be ModBot "throttling" your entry...apparently it does that if you've won multiple games recently (it's happened to me too). Stump would need to confirm that though.
If no-one else is taking it though I could just PM the key to you directly.
That was the best part of the Steam sales.
"Oh that looks exactly like my kinda game... "
*Clicks*
YOU ALREADY OWN THIS GAME
"I must have thought it looked like my type of game when I bought it too"

Nearing 700 games myself only beat about 10% of them with a vast amount unplayed gotta feel for the unplayed games 
I activated a Tropico 4 key yesterday, didn't install it and Steam claims I've already played it for 8 minutes. Even Steam can't keep track of what games I have/play.

you know what's most scary thing about steam? When you use Enchanted steam and suddenly all store page is green for you, especially frightening during sales.

The logs show two PMs entering for Praetorians, neither you, and both people who didn't meet the lurker requirements. ModBot's dumped his PMs since, but I'm seeing three from you in the last two days---titles sfds, ggg, and fdfd. Which one had the entry for Praetorians?
Can you load a mac save from the PC version? You could try playing a little way into the game and then switching back over to see if that helps?

Project aftermath actually seems pretty solid. Just shows what games can do when they take a more minimalist approach to the graphics. It is also well designed. I've played RTS with similar approach with small teams of units to control, like jagged alliance but for some reason or other they just didn't click with me. I am only done the tutorial and I can tell PA is clicking better than some RTS I have played made on a much bigger budget.

Haha, that happened to my dog a few years ago, her face blew up like a balloon. $180 at the vet and an Antihistamine injection and she was fine a couple of hours later.

would have never guessed i'll be so much into hidden object games. the concept didnt look quite that appealing to me at first but now i just cant stop playing them. with open dictionary i must add, so it has definitely something to do with english not being my native language. its just been a while since a played something educational and had fun doing it. for example today i learned that "bow" can be also that suit accessory you can wear instead of tie. took me whole damn 20 minutes starring at the screen looking for anything that would resemble "bow, the weapon" (
Great post, redlacs.
As a native English speaker (and someone who can't comprehend understanding an additional language as well - I studied French for four years but have forgotten almost all of it), I marvel at the ability of anyone that undertakes the learning of English.
So many words that sound the same with differing spelling, and a whole host of others that share the same spelling (like 'bow') that have no relationship or meaning to tie them together... Are other languages similar in this regard?
I must say, there are many, many folks here, for whom English is not their native tongue, who write it very well indeed. I marvel at that often, it's very impressive!
Games as a language learning tool is a great added benefit to our wonderful hobby, though, right?
Hahah I know exactly what you mean my friend. That's when I start thinking I might have a problem. Then I buy another bundle.

I know I agree with this. Even though some of us aren't crazy for off steam games and the like. Just seeing that number go up and the ease of getting new titles helps a lot.
I know that's why my transition from console to PC has been so easy.
I should start writing messages for Stump in my modbot entry titles since he is the only one that sees those.

Gave this a shot but it's not even syncing saves between them, even though it says it has steam cloud. I think I'll just wait a few days because I'm sure a patch is already coming.
As if anyone needs any more convincing, I thought I'd point out that the final episode of The Wolf Among Us is excellent, and as a whole the season is great. My only complaints are that the episodes on their own are too short for my liking, however, to binge on the whole season may still feel quite satisfying regardless. I thoroughly recommend it

Depends on the amount of people in the group and if those members would actually frequent it.
ya, that's why I thought, I'll ask: do you think it makes things easier or is it redundant, as there are not so many people playing it still.

At this point I would say its not needed.
There's just a handful of us and we seem to already be on each other's friends list. Now if the game goes on sale again or is in a bundle and more people get it. Then I think it would be a good idea.
Thank you both for the replies, I think I'll restart and choose medium - I'd like to enjoy exploring Rapture without hauling ass and missing the world they crafted. The in-game description made medium sound like it would be too easy and hard mode like a more appropriate setting for me, so I appreciate your input.
Great setting, looks lovely.
Hmm, I also entered. I think I meet the requirements, entered twice, second time after it was still unclaimed - title was
I was exaggerating
But I usually get hooked on a couple of games (roguelikes are addicting) and play those for a long period of time, while my backlog keeps growing and growing.I'll take your advice, let's leave this idea for now.
I was exaggerating
oh, I know all to well about getting into endless game and staying with them too long (><)

ModBot thinks you didn't meet the requirements. Let me investigate to see if this is another unicode bug with your username.
Edit: Looks like it's a unicode bug with reading your username from the who posted list. Sorry about that. Well, at least you've been very useful for me to try to slowly stamp out all the unicode bugs.
The problem with Normal is that by the time you get through the first 2-3 hours the game becomes too easy and you'll find yourself doing things to artificially increase the difficulty level.
I don't remember being able to change difficulty on the fly (played on Xbox originally) so by the end of the game combat was trivial... though still fun because of the stealth options you have. I'd suggest anyone who has extensive experience with FPS start on Hard mode.
Ok, thank you for taking the time to check - sorry again for the nuisance. I swear people joke that he is sentient yet I know he doesn't like me
Edit:
Ah, nice catch. Thank you for finding the issue, hopefully I won't be too useful in the future due to there not being many left to find

Could you compare it with the Walking Dead seasons? (to date)
Pff, I just had my name changed when the & caused based ModBot trouble.

I'd say I liked WAU more than Season 1 of Walking Dead.
Mind you your choices don't really affect much throughout the course of the game but a few dialog choices can affect one character in the ending.
I considered doing this, but then thought about how many PMs ModBot gets. Would he even notice?

I played through an hour of TWD and got bored. The setting and characters are just downright boring for this type of game, IMO. Played an hour of Wolf Among Us so far and am enjoying it SO much more.
Sellout
Ooh, good to know.. Yeah, medium it is then. Thanks for the advice guys.
It's great but it's inferior to both The Walking Dead Season 1 and 2. I just can't bring myself to care about the characters in The Wolf Among Us quite the same way. The last episode was a weak way to end the season. Basically the season peaks with the first episode and steadily goes worse with each episode.
I still liked it and can recommend it but it's quite not what I hoped for.

This is what passes for 'Hard mode' in the minds of AAA game devs: Enemies are bullet sponges.
I said "steam games". Other "games" are replayed at multiple angles, scenarios, mods, positions, and orientations at around 200-250 a year.

I've managed to complete 2 games I bought at the Summer Sale already, might be a new record for me!
WAU just now and Of Orcs and Men.

Glad those have such great replayability.
Is Dunder Store back?, I thought he closed the store for good.
