really good, i never got around beating it but it's lots of fun. it's also pretty addictive so beware about that
If it's so addictive then why you didn't you beat it? Huh? Huh?
This isn't really a mystery. In fact, it's the new bundle featuring Cook, Serve, Delicious, Universe Sandbox, and Out of the Park Baseball 14!

Well that's entirely up to you but make sure you don't just smash in you price and checkout.
Though I do get the feeling most people don't alter the default split.
Huguuuuu will be too busy playing with me.
no, he won't ... because he'll be playing with meeeeeeee!!
Haha Dead Rising 3 is gonna be great, we really need to get Game Nights going for this when ot comes out. I didn't even know it was coming to PC/Steam until thr summer sale!

I never do. I'm a busy man. Those gifs and avatars don't upload themselves!
I need to get around to playing the DLC. The game when played stealthily didn't quite impress me as much as I was hoping but I still had a lot of fun with it, save scumming and all.
You'll learn how to type lasagna with P S C R M V keys only!
:O
(btw I've explored a bit of a beach and I didn't find any terrifying sand spiders, but only some huge orcs who kicked my ass almost a dozen of times and I'm trying to figuring out if it's me that I'm under-leveled and I'm not supposed to go there, or it's just that I suck hard
)Less Universe Sandbox, more good stuff

I did this but also gave a few cents to humble bundle.

Go buy yourself a coffee, chubigans! It's on me.
(Also I am buying this bundle for literally no reason, I am getting nothing out of it, this is strictly a donation to chubigans)
So that's a total of 6 failures? Out of a whole ton of Kickstarted projects?

a few days before it went on sale
(can't contain those leaks )
) same as MGR:R :]cos i overupgraded lasagna and it got annoying to make

WHAAAAAT lasagna stays easy even if fully upgraded.
PSMCR PSVCR PSCR (if I recall correctly, lasagna is so 2013 in my restaurant) is imho super comfortable to slap on the keyboard!

I dream of a multiplayer CSD that's designed like one of those multiplayer Tetris games. You gain powerups as you successfully complete certain orders, but you also have the chance at receiving a troll item that can be sent over to a competing restaurant. Letting a box of rats loose on your friends establishment, or something as simple as a routine inspection to slow them down. One day, one day.

If you guys have even a passing interest in baseball
, I strongly suggest you give the OOTP franchise a go. It's one of the deepest sports simulators I've played through and easily falls in 'life wasting games' category with Civ 5, Football Manager, etc.
...all 3 of you here...

A total of 6 unambiguous failures so far (there's another few that are likely to fail) for gaming-only projects at $100,000+ (lots of 5k-10k projects fail) with more than a year of development (many from the last year will fail as well).
I just wanted to do a level-headed analysis, which happened to show that many games get released and are great, many get released and end up kind of crummy, many get delayed but eventually come together, few fail altogether.
AMAZING

Ahaha, too accurate.
I really liked the game. I think it's one of the greatest games of last gen. I got the platinum on PS3 and beat the DLC. They really did the DLC right and did justice with the story. It opened up the lore a bit more.

Yeah I use that actually when I buy from there. Pretty neat feature.
Y'all are too cool, thanks so much!
That does sound great! Hopefully GM Studio will open up online/networking a bit more because implementing online within GM now is pretty tough.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Apparently everybody in the universe owns Universe Sandbox.
All the recipes reset in NG+/extreme mode, so maybe vanilla lasagna can be your light at the end of the tunnel.
Freedom = $1.05

Looks good and I entered already but it seems I have won too much or entered too many or my won/gave ratio is too low, haha.

How odd. It just got taken, and Modbot said there were three entries. Did all of the Sandbox giveaways delay Modbot, or did three GAFers make a mad dash to go after it when I reposted the link?

Universe Sandbox --
Personally I just like turning everything up on blast and watching the universe fall apart through slow and gradual heat death and stellar collapse. That's morbid. Maybe you'd rather actually try to simulate something useful.
Cook, Serve, Delicious --
You're rich now; take some time off to learn C++.
Neverrrr!
ModBot goes through a 45 second cycle and it might have stacked w/ all the giveaways going at once..
It's amazing. I've got about five hours into it so far and almost have my restaurant up to two stars. The general feel reminds me a lot of Tapper, in that it's a fairly basic concept that can get maddeningly frantic fast. Not only are you preparing your food, but you're also planning the menu based around each food's attributes (too many fatty foods on the menu, and less people will show up, some foods will draw a larger crowd at night, etc). Not only that, but you want to keep in mind the actual process for cooking your foods when setting your menu up. Stuff like the chicken, sopapillas, and fries all require you to sit there and babysit the item until it's ready to serve, as opposed to a short prep time followed by a cooking period when you can do other things. This becomes important during rush hours, as you don't want to have a restaurant full of people who all want something fried, and you have to sit there and watch each dish cook.
The actual prep work isn't what you'd call accurate but it is oddly satisfying. Take the lasagna, for example:
You don't have to boil the noodles or anything, you just toss ingredients down in the right order by using the hotkeys (you can technically use a mouse, but you really don't want to). So someone comes up, orders lasagna, and it's PSCRPSCRPSCR- Enter. Once you get into the swing of it, it's quite fun to just hammer out the lasagnas like some sort of ninja chef.
Of course, you'll also notice that there's meat as one of the ingredients. As you go on, you get the option to upgrade your dishes. Upgraded items give you more money when they're purchased, but they have more ingredients and additional recipes to follow. The lasagna above is the only one that you have to do with the basic item, but once you upgrade, customers will start to request meat lasagna, as well, so after a good long while of habitually hammering out PSCRPSCRPSCR, you now have to do PSMCRPSMCRPSCR. It provides a nice risk-reward setup, where potential additional income is offset by increased difficulty.

If Tropico 4 was in the 1$ Tier 1, I'd go for it.
