I have a soft spot for Cyanide (the devs) to be honest. Game of Thrones was surprisingly well done in terms of story with its really bland gameplay. Of Orcs and Men story is apparently really good. They are a studio that has great potential.

There is no actual May steam sale. It is a joke relating to the nebulous nature of some of the non-summer steam sales and the OP thinking it would be funny if people kept asking about a nonexistant sale.
There's supposed to be an Amazon "May"hem sale starting any day now, but there's been no real word on what will be in it or if the new rep has enough pull to get any worthwhile deals.
They also completely redid and improved the English translation of Mars: War Logs after release, something very few companies would do.
Wasn't Of Orcs and Men done by Spiders? *checks wiki* Oh, co-developed by them and Cyanide.
Ah, fair enough. But in all honesty though, I had figured since I saw a bunch of updates that something is coming up. No idea when updates for games with existing easter eggs were patched, but this could be the first run of them for the next one I guess.

I really want to grab Of Orcs and Men, but GS isn't cooperating with me. Every time I try to check out, I get:

Been so busy with work lately and been too tired to game when I find the time. What have I been missing SteamGAF?
No worries! Usually in the case of prep, JaseC or one of the other Steamdb monitors will bring it up.

Nothing too major outside of a few releases like Transistor and Wolfenstein. Humble Bundle has been less than spectacular recently with daily bundles. We talked about subways a few weeks back. So pretty much the same stuff as usual.
Despite having played well more than ten different playlists and rated them all, I can't seem to get Battlebox Theater's achievement of Theater Critic to unlock. Not quire sure what I'm doing wrong there.
Oh well, a stage called The Floor is Level and a rather fun remake of Super Mario Bros 1 stages were all quite enjoyable even if the others were a bit of a mix. Really great game this, highly recommend it to platformer fans or someone needing a co-op game.

It's a Steam key, not a 3DS key.
Edit: Actually, it's a key for Shiny Loot that you need to redeem in order to get your

Really looking forward to picking up Wolfenstein but will probably wait for some price drops. PC gaming has really turned me into a cheap skate even on games I really really want.

No, I know what you mean, a bit but might be pushing it.

Transistor downloading a 411MB update at the moment. No patchnotes yet, but might fix some issues some were having.
Through 4 chapters in Wolfenstein. I have my gripes but it is quite a blast. I can be more thorough but I want to wait until I'm farther in and once the honeymoon period wears off. On the pc front, the fps bottom-falling-out bug (?) to 1-2 fps is annoying but had a stretch where I didn't see it for hours. Enabling AA in the game's console is tedious but easy enough. Great art directions, the textures aren't too offensive to me but I'm not going to tell you they're great. The narrative seems engaging enough yet gives you enough room to breathe with lots of time to yourself to just run, kill nazis, and find secrets.
Consider buying it

at a low price in a steam sale at least.

I keep buying upgrade materials. I have 99 of all titanite except for slabs in my item box and I have large amounts of it on me as well. I also take trips to the random sellers and buy up all their stock that's limited.
Side note: I'm so irritated, my bonfire #4 in

Go to Furbottom's Features. Play the featured playlist. Finish the 9 stages and the time trial... ???? ... Profit.

Right now sorting through my bundles to make a list of games for a giveaway, so far I have found 4 Vanguard Princess Keys. Sad thing I bought the game outright on Steam.
If you own Out There Somewhere through a bundle or such and have it in your Desura account you should now be able to get a Steam key through Desura's collection page (http://www.desura.com/collection) or the game's key page (http://www.desura.com/games/out-there-somewhere/keys). It's not released on Steam yet so you can't install it, but you can redeem it to your account. No need to email them with proof of purchase.
What is weird that there are two keys there (one for new version, one for old), but I think devs made a slight mistake, as both redeem the same product (I think at least, getting 'product already owned' message).
Isaaaa~ac!
Miriaaa~a!

Yeah -- high dark defense, +2 INT, and +souls? Sounds like something I might actually use, not even taking into account that I have this *need* to get every item.
Still waiting.
I only had the one, but I noticed if you go to the keys page without logging in there are three options all with different prices, Classic Redeem (Steam) which is what I had available, Steam Redeem, and something called Voskhod Redeem (Steam) which is weird and locked. Not sure what's going on there
Thanks for Doorways! Looks interesting can't wait to check it out as soon as I finish up season 3 of Game of Thrones
(almost forgot about the giveaway cause of it)Thanks again!
yea i kinda have the collector's compulsion on souls games but i just hate grinding with a passion to actually get everything.Yeah -- high dark defense, +2 INT, and +souls? Sounds like something I might actually use, not even taking into account that I have this *need* to get every item.
i still remember doing the black phantom katana dude runs on 4-2 in demon's souls over and over again and being one achievement from 100% and having the lizard rng fuck me over
this time i'm being cool about it, grabbing everything i can but not sweating it too much over what i'll miss
isacuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
what is it miriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
so good

Chances that Agarest will go for 75% off in a couple of months?
Why bother? The game is terrible.
Cool, that explains that. Might be locked while they're waiting to get the extra stuff into the Steam database or something

Yeah, I'm not going to lose sleep over not getting the True Aurous set or the Shadow set -- but I figured that one was easy enough to attempt and I might actually use it, so I took a bit of a break from Dragon PvP to try to get it.
Don't even get me started on pure bladestone from Demon's Souls. That and maybe... cloudstone chunks? I ended up speedrunning the game because I couldn't get cloudstone chunks to drop via regular enemies and I knew I would pick up a few in the boss fight of 4-3.
I never was able to get that turban type headgear from being summoned and winning as the 3-3 boss... thank God it wasn't needed for platinum.
The graphics or the moeslut theme is not the issue the gameplay is horrendous.

Same for me, Ken - no joy getting that Battleblock achievement to pop, no matter what I do. Have played through Furbottom's Features, plus ten levels of a few different community playlists, and separately rated about 10 more, but no go.
It's a good thing that it hasn't been a chore in any way to pursue it, though - a great game made well, and chock-full of levels and content.
Saoirse flipped and de-angried:
two peas in a pod
i went up until ng+ in demon's and was crushed when it didn't drop but figured i'd try it one more time, i was having lots of fun anyways. didn't manage to beat allant again but was about to
then i lost my save in some firmware update thingie and just said fuck it.
similar thing in dks1, i just don't have the patience to collect everything and i was in like ng++ and messed up and used a boss soul to get a weapon i already had and wasn't gonna play the entire game again for that one achievement
specially since after ng+ i feel like it doesn't get too exciting (tho i always enjoy ng+ lots)
Welp! I'm gonna buy Watch_Dogs from the Steam store now. Absolutely no chance this stuff will appear on Amazon/GMG this close to release. Can't play on Ultra or maybe High due to being an i5 4670K though.
