Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Thanks for the Banner Saga pack, AHA-Lambda!

...

You'll can backtrack later and get use of your airship, but I must say that moment when you can do that is not particularly clear or accentuated, I hope you won't miss it.
At the start of the game indeed it seems that only way to get weapons and gems is mining and doing yourself, but that's so not true, what you'll see later, only really good gems can't be bought, and I'm pretty sure I bought better armour and weapons than I could ever made, much later in game too. Basically what I'm trying to say, make what you want to make at the start of the game, you won't need it later all that much.
The game is more or less challenging all the way, inspite of what you do and there is arena... well, that's entirely another story. (><)

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt uncomfortable about how the game treated black characters actually, and I'm surprised that more reviewers haven't called it out given how quick people want to drum up controversy at times =/

I see some games on there that make me question the Stumpokapow meter.
DNF and Sonic Generations were good times.

Sonic Generations falls apart after the first 3 levels.

No, it just has a terrible final boss fight from what I remember. I had a lot of fun with it on PS3 when I got my platinum, other than that aggravation monster of a trophy for beating the final boss without taking a hit.

you could always get the sonic unleashed mod if you feel like getting a good bang for your buck.

I should look into this sometime, I've heard good things.
 
So the developer sneakily placed a positive review for that new game, Dark Raid, only review there, positive, only game on his account, new account, with 22 hours the moment it launched.

Hilarity ensued in the comments, and apparently he just deleted the review.

It actually looks like something I might try if it wasn't pretty expensive for what's on display ($20).

Oh. Well I've only put 4 hours in, which I thought was a fair assessment for what I assumed would be a relatively short RPG. Strange how it changes so dramatically later. I'll keep at it.

I'm uncomfortable with that "writer's" usage of an apostraphe for the noun "version". While not technically incorrect, it can go burn in the same dumpster fire reserved for people who ignore the Oxford comma.

1. Injustice is not in my region for one reason or another. Does it have some horrible DRM, is region locked or just not worth our attention, I wonder.

2. What exactly Frozen Synapse Multiplayer Key is for?

3. I'm slowly getting fed up with all bundle greenlight situation, I mean not getting keys from bundles even when promised, or needing to do some boring stuff as writing e-mails, providing proof, registering on sites I have no desire to register or even know about their existence, installing games I don't plan to play and generally fussing for no reason. I'm too lazy for this shit and I rather would spend that time playing damn games. Here, I said it.
you know it had to be done (><)

Seems he's claiming a beta tester posted the review

PapaProtheusII [developer] 46 minutes ago

Hey folks,
I'm one of the developers of the game Dark Raid.Acctually the review written by one of our volunteered beta testers.Right after we saw it we requested him to delete the review.It was totally out of our knowing.Sorry for the situation that occurred.

Will be in a bundle next week anyways, probably.
 
All of these should work, but there's a slight chance one or two might not. My apologies in advance if one doesn't.

What's your region? Thought that it was available everywhere. Anyway, you can probably still get it via a gift copy and only the Russian version is region locked as far as I know

EU2 or something like that. If it's not GFWL and other regions aren't locked, maybe I should ask someone to help me to buy it, but do I want it? Is it good?
or maybe I should just wait for summer sale

Yeah, it's really good and I don't think that it will go any cheaper during the summer sale. I can help you with a copy if you want

I haven't been having any performance issues with Watch Dogs aside from a lighting glitch here and there, but 26 hours in I got a major one after (story spoilers)
Iraq finds Bedbug in the server room and you have to escape
. It was a hardcore crash, blue screen, computer restarting, etc (kind of funny how for a second I thought the game was being cheeky because of the blue screen).

After restarting I run the game again and Uplay tells me my local save and the cloud save aren't synced which is expected after a crash. But it also tells me my latest local save is from 1969 (!). Turns out my save was corrupted, and I couldn't use their cloud one either as Uplay kept me giving errors when I tried.

Thankfully because of all the Ubi-save horror stories I was keeping a backup after each session, so I use it and everything is back to normal. I was set back only one mission, hopefully whatever made it crash at that point won't happen again. Moral of the story: keep local backups for Uplay games.

edit: passed that point with no problems this time. All's right.
 
I think there was a website about the different regions according to Steam, but I can't remember it. I guess there's no problem if you are moving between two countries which use the €, right?

I think 1001 Spikes might have a misprice in EU. It's 9,99&#8364; regular, so 6,66&#8364; with discount. Or is that intentional?

"NICALIS FANS GET A LOYALTY DISCOUNT! 33-percent off 1001 Spikes if you already own Cave Story+ or NightSky!"

edit: Oh wait you mean the 9,99 is wrong?
 
"NICALIS FANS GET A LOYALTY DISCOUNT! 33-percent off 1001 Spikes if you already own Cave Story+ or NightSky!"

I know that, it's just that it's $14.99 in US so I assumed it'd be 12.99&#8364; or 14.99&#8364; normally.
Maybe they're just super nice to Europe this time, but that would be a first.
