whoa whoa theres a thread on the main page about Forza Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive PC versions spotted at amazon
no, I dont buy games with my name in them
Guys. Enforcer: Police Crime Action is totally worth the $10 it is on the Humble store right now. After watching the Quick Look (even as a non-GB fan) I was hooked and vowed to buy it (just not at $20).
Fate smiled upon me and I went ahead and picked it up earlier. After 2 and a half hours or so, this is quickly one of my games* of the year.
The entire thing is janky as fuck, filled with awful writing and a lot of menus that seem unnecessary.
and it is glorious
I have about 50 or so hours of playtime in Sleeping Dogs just messing around and roleplaying a cop/hero/vigilante/insane person, and this is that but as its own game. Every time I drive to where "we got a call about arresting a murderer" and I see the red icon, I know it's him or me. I drive up. I crouch behind my car and yell. I wait. I shoot. I call the ambulance.
It's a blast, but it's not for everyone: it's content light, it controls weird, and it's SUPER UGLY. Not to mention the amount of pop-in in the game would have had me thrown off the force for like seventeen vehicular homicides if cars did any damage to people.
Nonetheless, if you're looking for a police simulator somewhere between the simulation levels of Goat Simulator and Train Simulator, this is the game for you.
Buy it, taze people who hover immediately into the air, get promoted.
*not experiences. Everything that is not the game part of this game is essentially awful.

That should be in the FAQ section. It makes no sense as a rule.
I can pre-order a bundle for a fraction of the cost! Should I do it? No, unless you're feeling lucky. It's best not to pre-order something blindly.

Despite the fact that I now have nearly 1,200 games, I still only play Deus Ex. Been doing an all-kill run over the last couple days.
The way the flag originally worked (in part) is that somebody in an affected territory (Eastern Europe, South America, South-east Asia and most recently Turkey) would only see applicable friends in their friends list when sending a gift via the checkout process, however Valve eventually stepped back from this, probably figuring that it was a pointless restriction as if someone outside of one of the aforementioned territories really wanted the game, they could just have it e-mailed. To answer your question, though, if you receive the game as a gift from someone in one of the aforementioned regions and you're not there yourself (a gift copy bought by an Eastern European user can only be activated by those in Eastern Europe and so on), you'd need a VPN to activate it and I'd advise against doing so as this technically falls under the umbrella of using one to skirt region-specific pricing on Steam itself, which may draw Valve's ire.
Lego The Hobbit is "75%" off at GetGames again, but the base price seems inflated.
Like, really fucking inflated, 30 rrp vs 20 on Steam itself.

Everytime I look at buying a Lego game, I convince myself that I'll wait for the bundle. And then a bundle came along and didn't have everything included :/

All in all, and speaking only as a pseudo-collector, I've received more value from Groupees bundle pre-orders than just about any other site besides HB. I can get three or four preordered bundles for the same price as one HB or Weekly.
It really is the golden age of bundle sites. So many to choose from.
Also, Shinyloot bundle is up:
Conspiracies II
FootLOL: Epic Fail League
Gray Matter
Realms of the Haunting (w/ Steam key)
Rexzilla
Soulbringer (w/ Steam key)
Space War Commander
The Island Castaway
Valcarta: Rise of the Demon
I'm so sorry, Dinos are not mineAll that work and i'm already on the second page with not 1 reply.
Only dino game I ever liked was dino island because you could breed strange combonation of dinos and because I was a sucker for Zoo Tycoon at that time.

you should be!! that kind of behaviour isn't accepted in here!!
Ugh, they're still doing the stupid shinyloot keys you have to redeem on their own site, which you have to register on, of course.
Now I remember why I never got any of the others.

I should have known better than to preorder that bundle.
Pardon me, I'm a bit excited. Installing the 970 tonight.

Not Steam.
not even on the shinyloot page?
Gray Matter was an okay story hampered by really fucking stupid implementation, tho.
I mean yes, for this price, you can't complain too much, but I paid... way too much for it =p
I'm afraid I was too young when it first came out and then I didn't care much for the most recent one.Not even Turok ?
Spares:
Also, there's a copy of Metro 2033 available here.

No, Munchy, no :,(
Nobody told me anything good about it. The gaming magazines I read at that time ripped it apart.

Boob mousepads usually feature women who are well endowed. Marie Rose is a 12-14 year old girl. She hasn't developed fully. Hence the joke.
(Yes I know TN claims she is 18. She is not, she is designed to appeal to hebephiles.)

It's funny that for most of the Just Cause 2 gameplay clips they use the JC2 MP mod instead of the vanilla game.
I know; I just gave mine away. Gray Matter doesn't.

They were all wrong.
It's basically tied as my favorite dinosaur game with Dino Crisis.
Played the hell out of it on 360 and got all of the achievements for it.
As in that GIF the knife executions alone on all the dinosaurs is a ton of fun.
If we had more shooters like Turok 2008, things wouldn't looks so boring for the genre like it often does.
Their page is region locked for months. I need to use proxy if I want to read something on their page.
seriously. when she got killed by the murderer, i lost it. when she breathalyzed the empty car she shot to a standstill, i lost it. great cop-ing
word to everyone on the fence: if you pick the male character, he pronounces ambulance as "amb-you-lants."
not amb-you-lence. amb you lants. ambbbbbyoulance. ambulants. it's amazing.
just booted up Shovel Knight which I hadnt in awhile and it turns out it was another victim of the great lost saves disaster of 2014. so I played the first level again...
damn that game is so good. and that music... I gotta finish this
edit: except now I have this weird stutter every now and then, the game pauses for a split second...not what you want in a precision platformer

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll wait for a bundle or higher discount then.
