Is it region locked? Trying to take advantage of a low price before Steam switches to regional pricing and we get screwed
Like with Bound by Flames curiously only the CD key subs are locked and IP restricted and there doesn't seem to be a trading restriction in place. Yet.

You're welcome, if you are interested I can elaborate a little more, only a few lines to give you an idea of the gameplay - so far I've clocked just 5 hours of gameplay so mine is not intended as a full review of the game.
Basically you run a restaurant and your clients are monsters: zombies, vampires, werewolves etc.
The monsters stay in line outside the restaurant and you have not to let them wait too long - otherwise they get upset and leave, so no money from them - you are the waiter and have to be quick to find a table and serve them their dinner asap, so that other customers can take their place and have their dinner and so on, until the level is finished; if you gain more than a star you pass the level, if not you fail.
A combo-system rewards you with some bonus points/money, so in order to improve your score you must do a lot of multitasking and planning things ahead, as for instance werewolves cannot sit near to vampires - unless skeletons sit near to werewolves - so if you want to do a perfect score you have to streamline each single move and be quick.
Each stage take just a few minutes, so it may be the perfect fix if you feel like chilling out and you haven't got much time for a long session.
Hmm, £17.99. I thought it'd be a bit cheaper than that. I'll wait.

I got FootLOL: Epic Fail League from a bundle recently and for whatever reason decided to check it out. It interested me because from the screenshots (1, 2, 3) I thought it'd be like a Mario Strikers type game. It turned out that instead of controlling the players, they play by themselves and you simply have to use the abilities you chose before the match to mess with the opponent players or buff your own players. I've only played for about 2.5 hours, just enough to get some new abilities. I don't know if I'll play much more, but it was a fun diversion. Unfortunately, so far I've had a lot of luck just spamming the opponent's goalie with mines instead of making use of the other abilities available to me. I imagine that strategy won't work later in the game though.
It has cards though.
Eh, not a bad price there. Though I'm overloaded with games at the moment, I'll probably get this some time later in the summer
on sale
Now that I've got Outlast, I think Dreadout and FF3 PC are all I'm really looking out for. Transistor looks good, but i don't rate Bastion all that much, so I need some convincing on that front, especially since my funds this summer are going to be kind of limited.

I 100%ed Shadows of the Damned and had some fun with Lollipop Chainsaw so I doubt this will be a total bust for me.

Knights of the Old Republic is such a pain in the ass to get to run on Windows 7. You have to download a legacy DirectX 9 driver and run the game in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode otherwise the game will simply minimise after the logo movies for Lucas Arts and Bioware are done playing. It will be completely unresponsive and you can't switch back to the .exe by manually clicking on it on your taskbar or by trying to use the task manager. Now I just need to get the widescreen mode to behave nicely.
Fake edit: Wait, now it's not making it past the Lucas Arts logo. Fuck it, I'm done.

i haven't played no more heroes 2 or killer is dead but shadows of the damned is my favorite suda game this gen.
i'll definitely grab this one on PC though, always up to try one of his games.

I agree, but I'm going to make a lore argument for a second.
I don't want to get too deep into it so as not to spoil too much, but
much like Gwynn in the first game, it would seem that Nashandara is weak for a reason. I wish the last boss would be punishing, and I felt underwhelmed initially as well.
Nashandara, like the serpents in Dark Souls 1, has been manipulating you in order to acquire Vendrick's ring the entire time. Before Vendrick hollowed, he realized what Nashandara's true purpose was, so he set up gates and his most loyal men around Drangleic to keep her out.
If she was insanely powerful, she could just get past the Looking Glass Night and Velstadt herself to get to the Throne of Want.
I also think she couldn't get through the Shrine of Amana as she is created from the Dark and that shrine was specifically set up to keep those at bay. But that is pure speculation on my part.

Don't ever use a VPN to buy things through Steam.
Just like Dark Souls 1, then.
The Souls games aren't about the destination, but the journey
and the New Game +

They ban you if they catch you?
It's called rim lighting. I think the first Galaxy popularized it. It's very nice when done well (i.e. in Nintendo's games.)
Valve breeds poison headcrabs for those occasions.
OOooooooohohohohhoHELL yes. And they take away all access to your games too.
If you want Russian-region games, trade for them with TF2 keys, or maybe better still, ask JaseC foi help. Who knows, he might actually help you.
It wasn't the first game to do it, though. I believe that was Vagrant Story on the PS1.

Not anymore, the account becomes restricted, meaning no more buying games and trading. But yes, on't use VPN, it can work without a problem but sometimes something tips them off and then *bam* (happend to me two times a few years ago).
I didn't think it was possible, but it feels like the lore in Dark Souls 2 is even more vague and out there than it was in the first game. Lots of reading to be done I guess.

Killer Is Dead bought for 6 keys. Really surprised it wasn't locked down tbh since Deep Silver is publishing. I guess there's still time, as long as they don't fuck me with the 'runinonly....' flag
They can't, there's only one sub for everyone who's buying through the Steam store right now.
I always misread that as "Legend of Grimlock". >.> ("Me Grimlock no like puzzles!")
Or you can be patient and save them until there are sales
Seriously, I have already made over $20 in barely a month (and spent 12 of those on Injustice when it was on sale).
No, never do that, you'll get banned and lose access to your library.
If you want it cheap you'll have to trade for it.
Is this the only game that gave you such issues? Trying it vanilla or using mods?
I played it on Windows 7 without a hitch and didn't have to install anything or set compatibility, and just booted it on 8.1.1 and it works fine.
Hey, thanks for the impressions. The game sounds intriguing. I was initially going to put the game into my list of games to try on a rainy day, but I think I am going to start a playthrough now.
With Bioshock Infinite being on sale I was wondering how much of the game is based in dingy corridors and underground/dark places? I like the outside fighting, I could put up with the shooting mechanics (that I've experienced with previous entries) if it was all nice and pretty most of the time...
anyone able to give me an approximate split of how much of the gameplay is spent outside?
Less eerie, more bulletstorm.
Oh also, are the dlc significant enough that it's worth waiting for a complete Bioshock Infinite (sale)?

Sooooo, I know I've been a huge pain in the arse the last few days, with a lot of whining and bitching so, to celebrate the arrival of my new shiny credit card just as I got home from work this evening, I guess there's nothing better than a good old school FPS I've just bought myself!

You're outside more than you're inside, and when you are inside it's usually similarly well lit. Only one area I can think of could be described as dark and dingy, but that's balanced in other visual ways to make up for it. It's 'nice and pretty' for the majority of the game.
The complete Burial At Sea DLC is like 6-8 hours long, and is definitely worth checking out.

Postal 2 is 70% off at only $2.99. The screens and trailer look pretty old, but kind of interesting. Is it worth it at all?

Not really. Shadow Warrior is one of the better games from last year. Great giveaway.
It's really quite insane how much starts falling together once you start reading item descriptions and matching that up with what NPCs are saying.
I saw a thread the other day where the game just got Steam Achievements. Haven't cared enough to check the validity of that.
I hope so! It's been in my wishlist since forever so I'm very eager to finally try it!
But I meant more the fact that it's heavily discounted right now, hinting to my neverending cheapassery.
EDIT: since this is the first post of the page, there's a Shadow Warrior giveaway running for another 3 mins or so http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=111324220&postcount=7046
^ Where is it discounted? I'm also looking to pick it up but it's £30 on steam for me...
edit - oh shit, i see it on humblebundle now, thanks
Thank you, think I'll wait for a bigger sale with the dlc.
cities in motion 2, yay or nay?

If setting people on fire and pissing on their charred corpses sounds fun, go for it.
Out of those three games, here's how I rank them
Killer Is Dead > Shadows of the Damned >>>>>>>> Lollipop Chainsaw

DUDE. That was my Steam GOTY for 2013. I think it's a damn fine giveaway.

My steam store defaults to top sellers and not new releases like before. Is it like that for you guys?
Yeah they changed it a few days ago.

Well, that's one way to address the whole "the new releases category is filled with nothing but junk lately" complaint, at least. >.>
