I'll never forget showing F3 to some friends, attacking megaton and beheading the one old lady with a rocket launcher missile in V.A.T.S. despite only a 3% chance of success.

Hurry up and pahk the cah. I need to take a wicked pissah.
They'd count to me.
If I worked at Valve, I don't think I could resist taking a peak at in-development games.Yes. Same as everything else bought on Steam.
Heya guys, plenty of news going on in the last couple of days, basically since my shiny new multinational job posed me in front of the corporate network locking out all the internet that matters and the corporate walls locking out the data connection off my phone. :'(
I miss this thread so much and also I hope Steam sales hours will be compatible with my work hours or else I'll have to fire myself, but then I wouldn't have any money for games oh god what should i do

Somewhere between Denis Leary and John F. Kennedy.

The Witcher 3 looks so good at 4K on an actual 4K tv. Actually gasped a bit when it I switched from my monitor to the TV. My desire to get a second 980ti just shot up tenfold, imagining that at 60 FPS is almost too much for my heart.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Just realized how smart it is releasing a batch of Steam controllers weeks before the official launch. There are going to be so many already-made templates, ready to go when the public gets to buy it.
It's... Quite smart indeed. Hopefully I'll be able to get one for myself as a christmas present.
CDPR is probably too busy making black, asian, indian and other races to include them in W3 so XP fix is late because of that. /s
So participating in the metagame means likely free games? I.e. it's not just badges (which I don't care about) or a time sink? Interesting.
it's gone cheaper

Thanks to a generous giveaway, here are some impressions for Brink of Consciousness: the Dorian Gray Syndrome:
The story: This hidden-object game is the rarest of rare beasts: one with a MALE protagonist! You play crime reporter Sam Wilde, who goes to investigate a mansion where a serial killer - whose M.O. is capturing "beautiful young people" - has captured your girlfriend, Anna Reid. You go through his house where he has placed puzzles and traps (you know, because every house has to have those) and try to track her down. I won't spoil what exactly he does with them, but you can read it here:
The story does a good enough job of explaining away the reason behind the puzzles. The bonus chapter is in an entirely new area (which is rarely done in these games) and has a nice ending:
Of course, there's a glaring plothole in that, but full marks for at least trying something new.
The gameplay and puzzles: The inventory puzzles themselves are mostly bullshit-free but some require exacting placement, so after placing the correct item in the window but not in the exact place, you get the standard failure clunk and start wondering what else it could possibly be. It's like a reverse pixel-hunt.
The puzzles range from intelligence-insultingly easy (matching shapes) to decently challenging (the ol' position-switching puzzles) to one that I had to skip because it was too convoluted for its own good despite having multiple solutions - the guide said "here's one we found (ridiculous combination of 34 moves follows)" Once again, thank goodness for no achievements so I could skip it consequence-free.
The graphics: About average for a hidden-object game but the animations are a bit clunky. One other point to note is that there were no resolution options, and even with "widescreen monitor" enabled, there were still blank bars at the left and right. I was grateful that they had a "film grain" option that started out disabled.
The dialogue and voices: Your antagonist goads you in every room through speakers. He's actually not too bad: like a budget Vincent Price. The rest of the voices were just average. Also, despite several Eastern European names in the credits (I'd guess Romanian,) the dialogue was surprisingly normal-sounding, so kudos on hiring a proofreader.
The length: It took me four hours, including the bonus chapter. Keep in mind that I skipped a puzzle, so it might have been even longer. It's about average for these games, maybe slightly longer.
The verdict: I've played better games in this genre, but I've played more which are worse. If you find it in a bundle, I'd say it's worth your time, cause it's not too bad.

He immserses them in a preserving liquid, drowning them in the process, and then keeps them in his house as statues.
The story does a good enough job of explaining away the reason behind the puzzles. The bonus chapter is in an entirely new area (which is rarely done in these games) and has a nice ending:
The killer commits suicide by preserving himself, but not before calling the police in an attempt to frame you.

I bought it for $5 last Thanksgiving sale on Steam, so if you can wait it'll hit that price point again sometime.

I don't know if 'likely' is the right word. More like 'potentially'. Also, we don't know what this year's meta game will be. The free games thing may have been a one-time thing. But who knows.
don't spent all at once!
my two foils also sold, unbelievable! I love sales
edited: it didn't end well, though, I forgot about market cooldown and immediately bought missing Nep Nep card... now I can't sell stuff I got for crafting for a week! One freaking card! I still can't believe how unfair that is.

I so hope I get picked this time. Didn't have luck with Nep Nep 2. Probably didn't like my really old ass GPU. Here I thought that would make my specs more interesting...
Thanks for the information. They surely can't resist my charm.

Well, I sent my true specs. They're really low-end.
I wonder what kind of specs they're looking for the most. Probably want to see if their game works on a 970.

Never played it before, but applying and trying the beta doesn't hurt.
Thanks for the information!
