Do it
Done! I'll play Walking Dead first since it's a smaller download.
Oh damnit I forgot about that.... I'll save that for the winter sale.
Do you have The Wolf Among Us? That's my only concern.

One last batch to show another early area, and the general ground texture/enemy model quality.
Does it have Treyarch style gore / damage decals? I'm guessing there's nothing like it at all and everyone is just shooting nerf guns again.

I hate you all *facepalm*
I have this in my library for some reason. Don't remember where I got it, lol.

Nope :/
ERSB description said "blood and gore" so I was hopeful but sadly that's not the case.

wait what is wrong with that ga......

what the hell?
I finished Costume Quest 2 today and it was an absolute treat.
Costume Quest 2 starts right were the first one (+DLC) left off. The game feels very true to the original, but there are of course a couple of differences.
Creapy treat cards replaced the Battle Stamps from Costume Quest 1. While in battle, you can choose to use a card to affect the battle instead of attacking.
Also new is that you can gain new offensive and defensive abilities by training with a certain person throughout the game, I thought that was a neat feature. Still, the battles felt repetetive overall.
After fights, you can refill your partys health by drinking from fountains or by eating a small amount of the candy you collected.
Just like in the first game, costumes take a pivotal role during gameplay. With their individual stats and abilities (in and out of battle) you always have to choose the right costume for the situation. You can upgrade every costume you find in exchange for candy. Among the costumes you can find/create, is the wonderful Candy Corn. Candy Corn can't fight at all. Instead, it entertains you with mildy amusing captions and somewhat draws the attacks of your opponents.
I kept Candy Corn in my party because I wanted to read all of the captions they came up with, and later because even if you're only using 2 party members the game is quite easy (even easier than the first one, I'd say).
The costume actually
.
The story is fun, the writing excellent and the game is consistently funny.
There are a lot of sidequest, like finding children that are hiding or proving your musical talent to the devil.
If you liked the original, you're most probably going to like this one. If you didn't enjoy the first CQ, the sequel won't suddenly win you over.
I personally loved every minute I spend with this game.

comes in quite handy in the final boss fight. Spoilery picture

Man what a day for interesting threads, the 30fps console game acceptance/support thread and The Slaughter House OT, good stuff.
Great, now my laptop is insta-BSODing upon booting into Windows. Everything I touch dies.
(RIP avatars if the HDD doesn't work in my PC.)
Bah, now I'm back to having to wait until 2am for the deals to update. Everything sucks!

I don't recommend it, if you want a Metal Slug like game, you can get X and 3, although their emulation leaves a little more to be desired.
Alt. you can get one of my GotY contenders:
Gunhound EX
...or ya know, Astebreed

Did anyone order Call of Duty from Nuuvem? If so, can you confirm that they give ROW keys?
Don't buy it.
We all know fish start to smell to high heaven after a few days.

Just think of that copy you had at one point and lost. That should kill the desire real quick.

Do you want to give money to activision

But it look so shiny..
I think I actually have a copy of Ghosts somehow on my old Steam account.
I already did
many times in the past.Well if you lose them, you get to trawl the internet with a reason for every Saoirse image ever uploaded.

Because I'm curious about SteamGAF, the PC port campaign, and Valkyria Chronicles in general:

Meh, thanks. No idea if I should jump in or not, the multi looked extremely samey too.
It's CoD.
You know it. It's always the same.

I'm kinda annoyed I didn't get a key for Slaughtering Grounds even though I'm in the group for it. They just posted that public link so people who didn't do shit got their key. Just like the Pixel Hunter thing (where I also never received my key even though I was promised one). Why in the hell do you create a group for the Free Key thing if you don't use the Steam API. Had to vent here, fucking morons.

Finished up the main Borderlands 2 DLC last night. I might do a write up about them, but for now I'll say Assault on Dragon Keep was by far the best one.
Right now I have a bit of a dilemma, I'm finishing up my last Fallout 3 run through next, then moving on to New Vegas for the first time. I have it on Steam, but only my fairly weak laptop. I have a copy on 360 that has a scratch I could get cleaned up, and generally 360 games work better for my setup.
So, Mods vs. ease of access (if I can get that scratch cleared up).
EDIT: Whoa, I have no idea whats going on in this save, I'm somewhere in Mothership Zeta, but I havent played this in at least two or three years

Except this time they have Kevin Spacey.
Those who chose to wait for sales are ruining it for all of us, even if they are just 9 peoples.

Holy moly, pre-loading for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is going so slow (20kbps)

He looks pretty good too!
Those really, really will be the last I take though as I want to actually play the game and I don't want to spoil anyone past the second mission. Just a shame the cutscenes look so much better than the actual gameplay(which still looks good mind you)
No thats a great deal! where did you find that?

I want to spend that for that now.
Private trader who saw my thread on r/sgs.
Well if it's a good deal then I'm fine, just wasn't sure with how quickly he accepted my offer :S
