Never heard of that game before, but now I've wishlisted it so hard I shattered my mouse.

Bought Shadowrun Returns just because I am a huge fan of the SNES game... I know that it will leave shit taste in my mouth, but here's to hoping. Maybe should have waited for -75% off but oh well.
Meanwhile, Playfire says this:
Dang, 14 hours in less than a week. Just played for 30 minutes too.

So this month The Forest and H1Z1 comes out? Can't wait 
The latest Cabela's game is now half off. It's only ~$5.60 in Russia so it should be possible to find someone selling it for 3 keys.

I recall there was a gaffer who said customers were paying him to remove CA from pictures and all and then he sees devs remaking it in the most moronic way possible. Because even if it's a camera defect it's still rather subtle compared to what we see in games.
Games like Battlefield totally put me off with their visuals. I like my gaming visuals crisp and clean. One of the reasons I like Source stuff. Though Valve do put in some effects in their SFM movies, like DoF and blur (I think), but those are movies.
you'll be fine

I bought it earlier today and will start playing it once Playfire put its rewards up
There's a 240p trailer showcasing some gameplay and it resembles Metal Slug and Contra gameplay-wise.

As with the other main Humongous games released today, not including the smaller side games, Freddi Fish 2 is $6.99. Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon should be out soon as well.

I do. Thanks.
As opposed to some American Metal Slug I've never heard of?

I was hoping they'd be 50% off like the last batch was.

The live market looks pretty damn cool
Wait for that sweet sweet Nexus 6. My Nexus 4 is still going strong, don't see much need to upgrade it at the moment.

Not really. Most Star Wars games are inactive and didn't take off like FPS games. I would play alongside you if I had a copy of the game, but it seems you're on your own. See if there are any bots.

listen to the mad man
What they did was actually not very difficult at all (although it would cost a little bit of money, not much). The problem is it would be prohibitively expensive to do it quickly enough to be able to capture things like new product launches or update with sales figures each week.
Basically what Ars did was set up a simple script to scrape people's Steam profiles (super easy) and ran it on very very cheap Amazon servers 24/7, running dozens of copies at the same time so they could scrape profiles fast enough. Even at that scale, they still couldn't get the data they wanted except over a period of months.
I'm still rocking the Galaxy Nexus which was before the Nexus 4 lol.
Works fine and am running Kit Kat (4.4) through a flashed rom. As long as developer support continues, there really is no express reason for me to upgrade.
That's why I was thinking the Dark Souls II sales numbers would take them a bit.
It seems like they would be interested in that data, this is the biggest Steam release in a while and it would be interesting to compare the numbers.

Free for beta owners.
Yay!! BattleBlock Theater is awesome! I really enjoyed playing it during the beta. I already got 24/30 achievements
. They added support for lots of Steam features, like the Workshop, Inventory and Trading.Sgt.Pepper

activision has the worst sales ever m8s
Lol wut? Battlefront has a extremely active online community.
Also, is Chroma supposed to be out? It shows on the new releases list but no install/play button.

I love this phone. Its cheap and just does everything so flawlessly. Its not the biggest screen or resolution but it seems just right.
I agree, they did a great job with the specs and price for their target market.
Seriously, the spread of this technology to other countries will help in so many ways.
It does seem a bit much, but it sounds and looks great. I will wait for some impressions too, not gonna play it any time soon, but will some day, most likely.

Yeah, that's kind of a bummer. At least they're bound to go on sale in the future.
It's supposed to be swell.
Battlefront II's an awesome game. Haven't played it recently, but there were still some fairly active servers out there as of a year ago or so. (And thanks for reminding me about BF II - one of the total conversion mods I was interested in, Mass Effect: Unification, has apparently seen a lot of progress since the last time I checked. May need to reinstall from the eleventy-billion CD's... Yeah, I own a physical copy.
)EDIT: There's full bot support as well as a single-player campaign. (Companies didn't go the cheap "no bots, only online multi" route back when BFII was released.) And the Galactic Conquest mode was the shit.

up to 75%!!*
*the titles no one wants, leave all the others at 25%.
I beg to differ, Disney wins by a wide margin in my eyes.
Activision is just evil, as expected, while Disney is malevolent and childish
I think the thing is with all the effects used in games it that the end up just being a static frame effect and not used in a more dynamic way to enhance the art direction or style.
Take DoF for example, it's more often than not set to a specific focus length and I guess an approximated aperture F stop. Now look how it's used in films like The Third Man with some great iconic imagery flipping focus from foreground to main subject. Look at how Hitchcock used dolly zooms to great effect with the background in soft focus ramping up to full. Spielberg did this in Jaws as well which really added to the scene were Brody realises there maybe a shark in the water.
In fact this gives me a great idea for a thread to pop my cherry on.
Maybe you don't understand the concept.
Today Spider-man
Tomorrow Transformers 75% off
Next day, COD
After that, Prototype.
Every single publisher sale follows this model.

That's close to where I'm at...but there are people on my friends list with 40, 50, 60+ hours already.
We may not get sales numbers for a while, but 80k concurrent is pretty damn good. I'd say it did pretty well. I think that BeyondtheBonfire, or whatever, link shows that PC is leading the way so far.
Lol hardcore, though the Galaxy Nexus was pretty good for its time. Yeah thanks to roms/kernels, android phones can last quite a bit longer than they normally would, camera and battery must be annoying though.
Are you saying Call of Duty for £11.24 or Modern Warfare for £14.99 aren't spectacular deals? You're crazy!

Few extra games
Thank you!
You just mentioned the worst parts of the Galaxy Nexus. Both the battery and camera were merely mediocre when the phone was released, now they are horrible.
I picked up a spare battery and a stand alone charger for <$10 so I always have a backup on hand when I run out of juice.
I am impressed with how well the game is doing.
I was conservatively estimating 45-50K peak players, hitting 80K just blew my expectations out of the water.
Porting Dark Souls to PC was the best thing From ever did.

Is Transformers Fall of Cybertron region free? Already played it over family sharing but would totally get my own copy for a couple keys when it's daily hits.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Thanks for the giveaways!
Activision sales are sooo bad.
Activision sales are sooo bad.
Yes... but unlike War it's not actually much cheaper in Eastern Europe. Assuming 75% off you're still looking at 6 or 7 keys.
Same problem with my N4, though probably not as bad. Whenever I upgrade, battery life will definitely be at the top of the list, living with a Nexus really makes you value that lol.

Which of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games require you to download the soundtrack again? I've only ever played Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (Gamecube) and Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy (PC) and have been thinking of doing a run through the series.
I'm also installing the shitty spiritual successor to Jedi Knight, Force Unleashed, cos I kinda want to replay it as well.

Sweet and totally a bummer.
For some reason I never could play the PC version of KOTOR... There's something with the UI/Controls on the pc port that just won't click with me. I loved the game originally on Xbox and never played the second one because I don't want to play the unfinished version on consoles but also don't want to play the PC version...Life is though lol
