It looks like Devolver Digital is having a small E3 sale: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Devolver Digital

Serious Sam Classic, only 100 each!
Interesting that Devolver published Marc Ecko's Getting Up.

Yeah dude, Deathwish is the worst, I've come to terms that I will never get those achievements.
First thing to try is log out of GMG and then log back in, until recently that was refreshing my account every time. The previous time they had a major sale though the credits were really slow to transfer, so I suspect that will be the case now as well.
I made two purchases in the last 24 hours and (for the first time) neither forced a refresh of funds, so no guarantee this will work any more. My account did finally refresh a few hours after the second purchase though, which may have been a delay, or a coincidence.

Leather pants are rad, don't be hating.
I'm still not cool that they changed her to looks to Asian Glenn Close. I liked Close in The Shield, but Ada in recent prior works was a bit less of the strange.

Oh man, I have very strong feelings on this one, but it's hard for me to judge whether my view is based on the nostalgia of playing it at the time it launch (at which point it was mind blowing). I think it was and still is to an extent deserving of the game of the year moniker. I would push you to keep going. The first mission is bland as it serves as a simple first mission that is a bit of an extension to training and also a foundation to begin the narrative.
The world feeling lifeless may well be an issue you see in some places as map sizes are larger but NPC are not in large amounts. There are a lot of tools and mechanics and they do have good purpose. They serve an important part of creating choice and also in some cases preventing certain choices/progression. The same is true for conversation and narrative to an extent as there are a lot of ways of exploring that depending on what you want to sift through. Narrative does improve significantly as you gone on, as do your choices/actions, which may get you more engaged than now. I suppose another issue may be that you simply can't tell sometimes if you are having an effect on your direction or the narrative without another playthrough perhaps
it's the blue dress when she first appeared :<
The stealthable missions aren't too different on death wish, you can easily solo all the Bank variants. The ones that force you to fight also mean you need to play in a very specific way (camp out next to a choke point) and pray to the RNG gods. It's not necessarily a bad thing to demand so much attention and group composition for the absolute hardest difficulty but it's frustrating seeing 3 dozers come every minute. If nothing else, it is intense.

Nope, if you don't get at least one achievement the game doesn't count.
Apparently Magical Drop V very recently received a base price drop to, uh, $0.99. The game was previously $5 and its historical low $1.24, so if you don't already have it, there's no time like the present.
...and now I'm wondering why no one's created "Magical Drop Bear" yet. It just seems too obvious not to jump on (no pun intended... okay, maybe a little. >.>)

Yeah it's totally doable with the right team and everyone on the same page but 9 times out of 10 someone fucks something up, or the Dozer/Cloaker army destroys us.

Can not connect to GFWL at all, today.
I wanna play some goddamn Dark Souls. :-(

Wow, steep price drop. Will get it surely.
GFWL is really strange. I had to reinstall it twice to get Operation Racoon City to work. But then it worked perfectly. Maybe it wanted me to stop playing that game.

Just look at how vicious it is, that game would have to be a mixture of a Cabela game and Magical Drop.
How long does it take after purchasing? I had to have a gmg rep move my funds over the first time, so I've made 3ish dollars since and they haven't moved.
All the skins are also on sale -- and the Starstorm expansion is the cheapest I've seen it at 33% off. Great game.
So we're about half a year from when SteamOS was announced. How many here are actively using it? I'm thinking about setting my system up to dual-boot Windows 8 and SteamOS but I don't know if it's worth it. Is it still a pain to install and, if not, do you see a good performance boost using it?
So those of you who are interested in witcher 3 from Russian traders may want to get in on it fast. I expect a region lock coming soon; This region lock would affect any non-redeemed copies at that point and any newly bought ones. The ones that were already redeemed would not be locked.
Should I wait for 75% sale?

From the impressions I read, it's still very early. If you want a more functional linux distro at this point you're probably better off with Ubuntu and its forks. That is, if you want to use it for more than gaming. Also what GPU do you have. If it's AMD, don't bother with linux for now. I think the install has gotten a lot better. It supports dual-booting for ex.
It's been a matter of time from the get-go for the simple fact that there's region-specific pricing on GOG itself. I don't expect the game's region-free status to survive the coming working week.

Not a big discount, but Heavy Bullets is a pretty cool game. "Roguelite" FPS with a cool audiovisual style.
Trailer and GB Quicklook are worth checking out if anyone is interested
I have an older Nvidia card, a GTX 460 1GB. It, with my FX-6300 and 8 GBs of RAM, can run pretty much everything at 1080p, with exceptions.

I wish I could get back into San Andreas. I couldn't figure out how to get the 360 controller to work.

Wouldn't it be possible that the sub gets a onlyallowrunincountries tag and people are fucked anyway?
Looks like the same sub is being sold in US and RU but not in UK/EU.
Or am I wrong?

I see. Well, if you only want to use SteamOS for gaming, I guess you can give it a try. Valve promised non-gaming features, but still no news on that. And it does have a desktop, so I guess you can mess around with it.
I know sigh, i wish there was a way to capitalize and make profits but the retroactive region locks kills it.
Theoretically CDPR could lock down the subs that way, but South Park is the only game I'm aware of that does so outside of Eastern Europe (the German and Aussie subs also suffer), plus it'd make The Witcher 3 another case of a sub being retroactively region-locked up the wazoo and all such previous cases were ultimately reversed as it harmed those who did actually receive the games as a gift. Adding the gifting/trading restriction is the simplest and least messy way of dealing with cross-region trading. Sure, there's collateral damage with regard to unused gift copies, but that's far less annoying than an IP-based restriction, which also impacts those who've already activated the game.
Basically, as long as you don't let copies linger in your inventory, you'll be fine.

Thanks for the explanation. Seems like the risk is negligible.

And Broforce!
But while it's not much as someone who bought the game day 1 I can't say I'm happy seeing Always discounted so soon, at least give it a month.
It's a preorder so you could cancel the purchase if something bad happens. edit: Brainfart, my bad. Can't cancel anything when getting it cheap via trade.

GFWL will continue to work for a while. There's no sign of a Steamworks patch.
Scamco is leaving GFWL intact for the time being but it also said that it'll explore long-term solutions in the future. In other words, Steamworks is coming, but there's no saying when.
