I really liked reading your review (as always), but this part resonated with me the most. I haven't played the game, but that was the main reason I couldn't enjoy Binary Domain. I mean, I can switch my brain off during the dreadful dialogue, I can go take a pee during cutscenes, but I can't do anything but press forward during these stupid and annoying sequences. Who the hell thought "This is a fast-paced shooter, so what players need is a section where they walk slowly while an unlikable character tells them stuff they don't care about. Oh, and we should repeat that at least 5 times" was a good idea? It is not.

So i watched the back to the future trilogy (last time i was a little kid), and it was amazing , and what luck i had the telltale game from humble bundle!
Finished episode 1 and started episode 2, its actually pretty good! Too early but it pretty fun.
I really liked the walking dead and puzzle agent but monkey island and sam and max did not interested me.
What other telltale games should i keep an eye on? Is the wolf among us really that good as they say?
Also i see a jurasic park game that interest me but has low metascore but the steam reviews are positive, any opinion?
Prepare for awesome if you haven't played them before!

Had a Windows automatic update kill a game of Civ at 3 in the morning. No, warning, no pop-up, game just vanished and I hadn't saved because I didn't know what time it was
You should enable autosaves at the end of every turn. I have that enabled so that I can Alt+F4 at any time and never lose more than a few minutes of gameplay.
A lot of games used it to conceal load times.. which is especially gross when the game's ported to the PC and it should really be skippable with the faster loading, but it's forced anyways for consistency. I still like Binary Domain, but that kind of hubris is annoying.
I love how other games like Dark Souls allow you to literally walk (or run) away if someone's talking too much (though usually the characters and lore in that series are so fascinating it's about the last thing I want to do.) That basic level of respect for the player's time is nice.
Star Wars bundle is to celebrate May the Fourth. Was just thinking if Steam would do anything for May the Fourth day, and then this clicked. :lol
Too bad GameCube tech is apparently difficult to function easily on PC to be available on Steam, since Rogue Leader (any of the three) would've been good to have. Miss Factor 5's work. :/ Also EA controlling the new Star Wars games means no LEGO Star Wars Episodes VII-IX.

This might be too late but if not then I vote no.
I didn't like it. The only aspect I enjoyed was the actual puzzling. I pretty much hated everything else.
That would be:
- the crappy story, clumsily told
- the crass attempt at feels that just made me want to punch the devs in the face
- the annoying game characters that I wanted to kill in horrible ways
- the irritating voice work, STFU!!!
- the aggravating music
I could probably think of more reasons if I put my mind to it but I'd rather not think about that game anymore, frankly.
If you pick up the game I hope you enjoy it a hell of a lot more than I did!
In comparison to Ico it pales very strongly in comparison, for me.

Thanks for Postal
OBS does not like me. Gonna use FRAPS since the assignment's due Monday, and it's not intended to be the world's greatest thing, just A-grade in a fairly easy (albeit awesome) class.
Trying to record shooters that don't get a lot of footage, so no Half-Life or anything. Is a fun little analysis of what a shooter is and why they're so smart.

What problems are you having with it?
Ridiculous amounts of skipping, mostly, lower image quality. Don't really have time to fiddle with the settings right now.

That feel when I finally finish playing Bastion and see the game's ending. So good.

Try MSI Afterburner, never had performance issues with it and it's completely free so you won't have watermarks on your footage.

For some RIDICULOUS reason, Afterburner kills Skyrim.
Have fun with it
Thanks again. It's not a fighting game it's like a hack and slash game with rpg elements. I thought it was a dungeon crawler but it seems like you are confined to arenas. Seems pretty cool if you like those type of games. You can do lots of cool combos. The combat system seems solid.
I would guess you can still play bot matches.

listen to the mad man
ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS (early access) is really really cool. I've only played 20 minutes or so so far. Thanks Dupy for randomly gifting it to me.
Basically, you play as a super badass rocket ship. You're super maneuverable. You turn on a dime. You go hella fast. You're in a big arena with sort of different obstacles in the middle and different shaped walls. Smash into walls all you want, they won't hurt you. You can fire sort of machine gun shots, drop gravity bombs, and leave mines behind you. The mines are on a short timer. Hit them before the time goes off and they bounce around with physics. After the timer goes off, they explode in a certain radius. You can also dash and put up a temporary shield. You leave a long contrail. There's another rocket ship. You have to kill each other. You both fly around. It gets crazy busy on screen but you still have great visibility. It's got a great dynamic camera so the closer the rockets are together the more zoomed in the camera, and vice versa--so you're always both on screen.
The game is first to +4. So if you kill someone and they kill you back, it's 0. If you kill them twice and they kill you once, it's +1. If you get +3, a ten second timer counts down--if you're still at the +3 at the end of that, you. If you get to +4, you win immediately.
Right now the game is literally local multiplayer with two people or local multiplayer versus one bot (named Stanley.) It's super early. There's no pause function. If you pause, you go back to the main menu. It will eventually have a single player campaign, training modes, a bunch of local multi options, and online multiplayer. The visuals are super polished, and the game just feels really fun. It really feels like they spent a lot of time nailing moving around and enjoying just shooting the shit out of stuff, and now they're ready to build an actual game around it. The game is $4.99 or $3.75 per for a four-pack.
You might want to wait a few months until there's more to do, but right now it's still super fun to play around. I'm so glad to see this, Towerfall, Nidhogg, Samurai Gunn, Gentlemen, etc all on Steam. I feel like PC is finally becoming a space where you can sit down on your couch and blow an hour or two doing goof-off local multi stuff!

C'mon, man! Hardly fair to compare a classic Sega rail shooter to an open-world RPG.

No, afaik there are other ways to find servers. http://steamcommunity.com/app/6060/discussions/0/540740500836000118/
Gamespy actually only affects the master server. You will still be able to join servers by connecting directly to their IP.

Thank you for Hexcells Plus
I had already played the PS3 version.
It took about ~95 hours combined to get every achievement.
~50 hours for the initial run on console (didn't care about trophies since I only have 2 PSN friends lol)
~45 hours for getting to NG+++ and doing all the other requisite stuff.
I'd suggest using a guide after doing your first run. There are some missable achievements and some stuff that I would have never figured out on my own (such as
getting the bell covenant to rank 2 for a certain spell and the entire Lucatiel quest line
Thanks for Truck Racing, NotSelf.
Well, Dark Forces II works, but the music isn't there.... Tried googling for an answer, found one that works for everyone except me. No other apparent solution so I guess I'll just deal with it...
In some ways it makes the game unnerving. Total silence except for footsteps punctuated by gunfire, enemy chatter, and explosions.

Just finished the Nightmare in north point DLC for Sleeping Dogs. Yeah a biiiit late, but I don't know, while revisiting a game you loved some months later seems like a good thing, I have the hardest of times doing so. Well let's just say I'm glad I did, that was a good occasion to remember how much I liked the game... And how pointless and half assed the DLC are, unfortunately. I kept the Year of the Serpent DLC for another day, please be a good epilogue.
Man I hope United Front Games will be able to do another open world game.

I just spent the last two hours modding the first game with a bunch of mods from the KOTOR Filefront site - all the restored content mods, additional armors, romance restorations, Enhanced Merchants, feat/force power progression, etc, etc. I'm one of those "one and done" players - I'll load in as much content as I can and play it in one shot.
