If you enjoyed Portal 2 CO-OP you might want to give Ibb and Obb a try, I played it on the PS3 and it was a pretty fun co-op puzzle experience.. I'ts 2D and its puzzles are clever in the portal 2 sense where once you do it you are like "ah-ha" then have to succeed in getting the mechanics down. It also requires both players to do different things.. The two pack is still on sale I believe if you have any interest.

That's definitely a positive. For a while. Then it becomes tedious and it's more convenient to turn that of and just hammer the buttons.
Oh there it is, thanks.
I'm surprised that Ace Combat is still excluded from family sharing though. I would have figured that with the steamworks transition they would have also flipped that switch.

yeah, I also feel like it's my fault more and more "veterans" are leavingwell in case anyone felt offended (or annoyed) by anything I ever posted - I'm deeply sorry
New people come into threads all the time... hell, that's what the mods of GAF really want -- they don't like it when main threads in the gaming forum end up being isolated communities where newcomers don't feel welcome and are afraid to get involved because... well, they're new.
I honestly just recently stopped reading and posting on another forum in a thread in which I was a "regular". And while it was true that I was annoyed by some of the newer posters, it was more that a lot of the people I considered friends had slowed down their posts for a variety of reasons. It just wasn't the same anymore, especially without the people I enjoyed posting all the time. Did some of the newer people I didn't like annoy me? Sure... but that's why forums have an ignore function.
New blood is not a bad thing. There just needs to be a balance struck between old and new where the old use some patience and see where things go and the new learn the ropes of what does and doesn't fly. Some learn quicker than others. Some see that people don't like them and try harder to be liked. Some just do what they want, regardless. Some people are grumpy about everything (yeah, that's me)... there's a large variety of people and personalities in here and there's no real reason anyone should be afraid to post their thoughts or opinions.
TL;DR (cause Frost tends to ramble): There's room for everyone. Regular/established posters should make judicious use of their ignore lists where they cannot find the patience to tolerate or get to know new members. Remember, we were all new once. New members should just be themselves and post when they have something to say. Just try not to drive the thread away from Steam related conversations.

my brother is like one of 4 steam users that doesn't have portal 2 or portal 1, for that matter. He's also the type that breaks puzzles and doesn't really have a lot of patience for actually solving them the right way. So i dunno about getting him into that game.
I'll give him credit, though, the way we broke like half of the LCGOL's puzzle rooms was pretty fucking hilarious.

here's some quick impressions from about an hour of playing Planet Explorers (which, for this type of game, is nothing really). Planet Explorers is a game much like Terraria, Starbound, or Starforge, where you are dropped on some open world planet and you have to explore, dig and build shit. The idea of these games fascinates me but the lack of objectives usually in them always puts me off, and this is where I hope Planet Explorers will be better.
For one, there is a story mode. I dont know how long it will be or how involved, but for now, it feels like your typical rpg, only instead of them giving youa shovel or a sword to complete your objectives, they give you the blueprints for those things, and you need to craft them yourself before you can complete your objective. Early quests are pretty much tutorial stuff, as the lady you are helping is basically giving you all the basic tools you will need (shovel, pickaxe, weapon etc) while you fetch stuff for her to make medicine for herself and whatnot (get 10 wood and 5 animal fat to build a campfire), much like you would in any mmo.
Crafting interface seems simple enough to use, like I said you get blueprints for stuff and then can build them whenever you want on the fly (for now). From my short time with it I already had a dagger I started with, a axe, a sword and shield, a pickaxe, a shovel, a bed that I found in a box, a torch, an assortment of healing items and a shitload of plants that I harvested. And dirt, because you cant play these games without collecting a bunch of dirt.
The game is in alpha (I thought it was in beta actually) and sometimes it feels very much like a game in alpha. Collision detection is wonky, you right click on stuff to gather or loot but most of the time it wont register, you need to keep clicking, you left click to attack (theres actually some nice combat animations I was surprised) but because the collision detection is wonky it doesnt feel very satisfying, most of the time youre not sure youre hiting something, the world looks great but it seems to be barely populated for now (for example, I had an escort quest where the guy says "protect me from animals because im a doctor!"... we went to the location we had to go, which wasnt exactly close, got what we needed, went back, saw 1 lizard which never even attacked us
I love how colorful it looks, the world looks great, there seems to be a variety of weird monsters (even tho I barely saw any, the ones I saw looked good, including a giant...rhino...thing just walking around), and if the idea of a rpg / mmo (mmo in the gameplay sense I mean) with terraria style crafting and building is something that sounds appealing to you, give this a shot or at least keep an eye on it while it progresses.
Like I said I only played about an hour to get a sense of it, I didnt build houses or dug my way into oblivion, or made jetpacks and hanggliders and shit you see on screenshots. Besides the story mode there was an adventure mod, which just seemed to dump you on the planet and said "now go do shit I dunno!", and a multiplayer mode which I didnt try.
Nice write-up. Would you recommend it since it's on sale? I've been on the fence for a few days.

You told me to enter last night. If you still want me to, I will... seems silly, but I want to be nice to the generous birthday boy.
Now the trick will be... figuring out which one is NOT bad rats.
It's actually 269 RUB so more like 6 to 7€. Still have to find a trader who sells it at that price tho.
E: Bought it for 6,57 from http://steamcommunity.com/id/Quold, +534/-0 rep on Steamtrades if you're interested
I can be that way too and it truly was awesome how LCGoL let you solve so many situations with what you might just say is skill rather than having only one way possible to solve the room or whatever. I like that!
Have to admit i never played Doom 1 myself. Did you like it even though it must have felt dated as "hell"?
Guess I should finally get Doom 3 myself (hate to admit, but I never owned a legal copy of Doom 3 because my parents didn't allow me to buy it back then), maybe even the BFG Edition however people really seem to hate the changes they introduced with this version.

Ah, yeah, I had to. GAF posts are limited to 25,000 characters and while I did factor in the extra characters that would be contributed by the [s] tag, I forgot to account for the "Taken by ..." notations, so eventually ModBot brushed up against said limit and could no longer apply edits to my post.
Oh hey! Happy Birthday, sweet giveaway.

the only real major issues that the BFG edition has anymore is that it isn't compatible with most (all?) of the mods for Doom 3. The lighting differences have been fixed and it's a fantastic value with Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, a bonus campaign exclusive to BFG, and Doom I & II, all with controller support and widescreen support without needing to get your hands messy with mods and ini files.
Basically, it call comes down to mods vs controller support.
Yeah, Ive failed it about 4 times already lol

I know that feel. Anyway, you're just the man I'm looking for. You're at Steam level 52, how often do you get boosters? I'm at 40 and wondering whether it's worth time getting to 50. If not, I'm just going to start selling all cards now to get ready for the next sale.

I like how the only thing that's listed in Germany under the big 'Dead Island Franchise' banner is the Epidemic stuff. At least now get something instead of an empty spot.

The funny thing is, Doom doesn't feel as dated as Doom 3 does. Doom was a lot of fun because of the speed you're always moving at, and the enemy types being different enough to make you change up how you attack. The weapons are still very cool even if all of them are staples to every FPS now.
I played about a half hour of Doom 3 BFG, and I don't entirely mind the changes that were made. For a "graphical upgrade", though, it doesn't look too hot. But it still plays well, which is what I enjoyed it for. The inclusion of the flashlight not being a useable item and a on/off switch now is a good thing, though it does defeat the purpose compared to what it was like in the original version, having to switch back and forth. It all depends on your play style. I chose BFG because it came with the first two games, so that I could play through all three.

Even on "Easy" I died 3 times till now. I'm not getting the mechanic of the game, seems to me like you just have to randomly find the right path through each chapter.

I did the same thing during summer sale while I was at work.

This brings to mind a question regarding the modbot rules and etiquette. I know that people aren't supposed to sell or trade their keys, so if they enter and win, they have to redeem or be outcast, which makes total sense...
But what about these multi-game mystery giveaways? Would trading WITHIN the giveaway winners be a problem?
Let's say, theoretically, I won Bioshock Infinite, which I already have, and some other dude wins Divinity:OS, both from your same giveaway. If they want Bioshock Infinite more than Divinity: OS (lol), should/can we trade? Is that disrespectful at all?

Play the demo, has a lot of levels. Personally I didn't like it, mostly because it's hard to understand what the objects do and the controls are too finicky.
Got an extra. All three have cards, by the way.

For who asked way earlier.
Only the free Agarest war DLC is worth it.
Nothing else adds to the game. Better off getting a trainer than the DLC if you need help.

Oh comedian over here! (I like puns!)
And I am quite a Doom heretic myself. Only played Shareware copies of 1 and 2 (Edit: I should say I finally played through them all the day each of them came out on XBLA, but that was a good decade or more after only playing the demos) and played about three minutes of 3 on Xbox, which is so horribly slow to play, too sloppy and muddy. I did however manage to kill a friendly NPC by way of flashlight and meleeing while turning. The best part of my heresy is that 2012ish I played through and beat 3BFG and liked it quite a bit! Headphones were key, in regards to the atmosphere (but that is more about 3 in general).

Since the question of ethics is being brought up and it's my give away I'll just say I honestly don't care what the winners do with the games as long as they don't sell them for profit. You can do whatever the hell you want with them otherwise.
I believe phoenix gave permission to someone to trade his game for bad rats since he has everything except bad rats.
I think you should ask for permission if you want to do so.
It's the Humble "This should be a $2 Groupees" Bundle.
Yeah, I did that once too, but just turn off images/gifs/avatars and it's fine.
my cap is around 5GB I think... so I was pretty surprised. It couldn't be anything because based on the Data Usage tracker... it all came from Chrome.
hmm I get them roughly about once every 2 weeks? thereabout I think... (I just hit Lv52 from the Summer sale.. so I'm not 100% certain)

my work place doesnt have wifi. which is weird considering you think a mall store would have one. we have the mall wifi. but they're spotty at best.
