since this is the Steam thread; what do you expect for the final CN rewards?

hoping for Mario&Luigi for 3DS

Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a subset of games from the current selection, with golds choosing from the lower-coin games (<300) and plats choosing from the higher-coin games (600-700)

Congrats!!, i was hoping for captain toad, but think is too new...

 

[ramoisdead]

Grim Dawn is 50% off over at the Humble store.

Contemplating on getting this. Heard a lot of positive impressions on this game and also being one of the better EA games on Steam.

Yeah being left handed is not a drawback to playing video games.

The only problem I've ever head is that I am slightly worse at "mash button to progress" stuff with my non dominant right hand.

Haven't really had issues here, although i'm fairly ambidextrous when it comes to gaming and regularly switch my mouse between left and right without problems.

It is a right persons world though, we just have to adapt.

Tropical Freeze or Wind Waker are probably the games I would want the most that might actually be possible. I doubt it will be anything too new.

 

[Purkake4]

I enjoyed Bang Bang Racing a bit. Also has a demo.

Yep. Sine Mora is pretty good.Who's That Flying and Ceville are good as well. Anna is worth a playthrough for horror fans. Grand Ages Rome is a decent strategy game. Crash Time 3 is a Burnout clone. It's enjoyable.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have all except for Ceville and have never played any

Ah, an ascended Steam user, it's an honor.

Doom was made for lefties. Hand placement is second nature.

 

[Couchaddict]

As a lefty my main issue is Console FPS with a controller or any games on the Wii with the nunchuck.

Update!

As of right now, the sign-up sheet is now closed! After deleting a few duplicate entries, we still got almost 100 people on the list! And that isn't counting those silly people who didn't sign up that I've already written in. If you still have an edit to your entry you wish to make, please PM me so I can take care of that for you! But that window is closing, as I will be locking down characters by the end of the weekend.



In case you missed it, I've created a new Steam Group for us to use to discuss ideas, share favorite SteamGAF memories, and for me to communicate on progress. Feel free to stop by and chat, too! This will reduce thread clutter from a maddening amount of waifus to only a smattering. Major updates would still be posted in the thread, assuming there are any major updates to post. This post will be one of the last of the major updates for a while.

For a fun little extra bit of community involvement, we will be holding SteamGAF Academy Student Council elections! Every school needs that highest-ranking set of students who represent the student body as a whole (Not that kind of body, Milamber) and enact executive decisions when needed. This will give the thread a chance to help shape the future of the game. Major thanks to the resourceful Chariot for the suggestion!

What do I need to do? - Simple! Open up the ballot link and pencil in your choice. Note: Please only use names from this list of students. Any other votes will sadly be discarded. We will be accepting votes until 11PM EST on March 8th. All votes will be tallied after the ballot is closed, but results will not be made public until the game's release. Gotta keep some secrets, you know?

I only ask that this post be quoted for visibility every once in a while until voting has ended. While I can't stop you from wanting to talk about and joke around about the elections in this thread, I'd like to request it be taken to the Steam group's discussions or chat. Thank you! <3 I will be contacting those who volunteered art assistance once I have the floorplan for the school building down. Now, back to work!

Far Cry 4 Season Pass is on sale at Nuuvem for ~$10 USD. It's typically $30.

Pay with paypal if you're outside of Brazil. They're a well known site and sell legitimate copies, not stolen keys or anything like that.

Just activated it on Uplay and it went great.

All the other Far Cry games are on sale as well. Regular FC4 is about $30.

FC1-2 are both Tages, FC 3-4 are both Uplay. I don't think the season pass will activate on Steam.

[Eternia]

went to a pc store today, prices are pretty rough, a 270x was like 320 usd or something

i talked to my mom and she might throw me a bone and help me get a 280x so i can at least upgrade a little bit

i found a 280x for like 400... is that thing decent?

A nice upgrade from either your old 560 or the 260X you were looking at earlier. About ~2x performance increase from both of those and you'll have 3GB of VRAM. You'd have to decide whether or not the jump from the 270X to 280X is worth the increase in price for you though. Seems worth it if you're willing to spend to me.

 

[Annubis]

I don't get this one:

Hello, Mr. Smith!
The election is drawing near, have you decided on your vote? If you haven't, please let the ______ make the most of your precious vote. Thank you and have a nice day.

[Shadownet]

Get me some votes for Public Relations Officer please guys thank you.

The character I had in mind that I shared with Cheesecake would go pretty well if he has that position. Considering what he does on his spare time.. hehe.

i see, thanks

i may see if i can get my friend that's going to the states next month to bring me one of those since it's much cheaper there

i'm a bit scared about it cos i don't know how fragile these things are for putting in luggage and stuff, specially since it's a big box that they might want to throw away to put their own stuff in

 

[Shadownet]

I don't get this one ?

Yeah i dont either. Does this mean whomever name we put into that box get to vote for us? in case we can't make up our mind?

Scholar of the First Sin has the exact same achievement set as OG DS2. I really hope they changed some of the spell/hex/etc. requirements.

They aren't that fragile, but I'd definitely recommend keeping it in the box. Or at least finding some other hard container to keep it in. They're like $150-$200 cheaper here, so you should be able to give them some money to make up for any inconvenience transporting it would cause.

Why couldnt you just sit at another table?

 

[rtcn63]

Why couldnt you just sit at another table?

I did, sometimes, but same context. The school was massively overcrowded due to an influx of 400+ freshman my sophmore year. They had to split lunch into four different periods, and it was still an issue.

 

[WinterDemons]

I probably wouldn't fit well into a student council position. Interested to see how the campaigning goes. Good luck to all candidates!

 

[Stallion Free]

I'm gonna get NG+ and ++ out of the way ASAP this time if that's the case so I don't have to sit around as much waiting for summons at bosses (dat soul memory hustle).

 

[Shadownet]

Oh man my high school had the same problem. My junior year there was a bunch of new kids because they redraw the geographical outline and so now we had like a couple more hundred freshmen. 3 lunch period became 4.

Which really didnt matter cause I didn't eat lunch in the cafeteria anyway, my junior and senior class schedule was a bit weird. I opted to technically skip my lunch period so I could take Criminal Justice class. So right after my 3rd/4th period class (depend on the day) i just got straight to get food and bring it to that class and eat there. We had 20 mins until the class start. I wasn't the only one doing that though so it was nice. Easiest class I've ever taken in my life. All we did was watched action movies and tv shows all day every day.

Also I almost forgot about The_Monk. Maybe I missed him, But I haven't seen him lately. Guess I got competition for Public Relations Officer. >.>

What made it worse (for us), was that your class schedule changed day to day due to there being one extra class. Like on Day 1, you'd have classes A through F, and then on Day 2, it would go G through E. It would continue on for the entire year, and your lunch period was dictated by what floor you were on when 12pm hit. I still have nightmares about walking into school without any clue as to what class I was supposed to start in.

We watched Law & Order clips in Street Law. It's how I became a fan.

Or you could vote for someone who knows PR inside and out. After all, who's going to hit up the newswires and their press contacts to spin the message in our favor when the hordes of waifus siege the school?

Look at the face to your left. This is a kind face. A happy face.

A vote for crazyrabbits is a vote for accountability, responsibility and trust.
