Interesting to note that the whole OST was made to match SNES sound chip (8 channels, ~60 kB of ADPCM samples per song).
Way to throw the blame of the egocentrically title to someone else.
Talking about "friends doing your first build for you":
guy recommended me a CPU which didn't fit my socket (I didn't know anything about how this all works so I just trusted him). Frustration, but atleast you realize this early on.
Sent the CPU back, ordered a fitting one.
Proceeded to build the rig, put everything in etc., now I couldn't find the front panel connectors on the mainboard. Turns out my old graphics card covered them up because *drumroll* I was recommended a mATX board. Yup.
So... unplug every cable, unscrew mainboard, take of CPU fan, remove CPU, send mainboard back to get a new one.
FUN TIMES. Took me about one and a half week longer to build the PC than anticipated. Atleast I got used to building rigs, it's fun.

I tried to redeem it with my US account but no dice.
Sigh, the shit I have to put up withAll you need to do is add a UK-based billing address. It takes all of about two minutes.

For those who haven't checked it out, Boot Hill Heroes has been released on Steam.
A western RPG -mostly- inspired by Earthbound (and others). And, it looks very good:
Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnwF0nrU418
It's $4.49 right now (50% off for the first week).
Holy shit. Insta-wishlisted!
Such a shame the game doesn't even appear on the popular new releases tab...
It was the tipping point to making me purchase the game, that tied to the visuals and the inspirations are more than enough to make me happy. I will give some impressions of the first hour or so...in an hour or so!
Well I'm sorry that you didn't get any dice.. Couldn't you go to a local board games store and get one? all I want to know if the game is redeemable on a US Steam account?
Trying to get this game a bit cheaper.

No dice means no luck.
Such is the reality we live in. The only recent subs I can think of that aren't region-locked are the Disney ones.
Package on store page doesn't seem to be changed yet. So it's still unlocked for now.
Probably matter of time before it's changed.
And since it's new package, seems like it's not going to be retroactive. Go hoard some copies.
You're not wrong.

Anyone here have experience switching from an Nvidia card to an AMD? I have a GTX 460 now and should have an HD 7950 coming in the mail today. From what I understand, I should just use this to uninstall all the drivers, reboot, shut down, install the new card, power on and install the newest Catalyst driver, right? Is there anything else I should be worried about?
You should start with MGR
#1 on my steam wishlist at the moment. Definitely getting it next sale.
MGR and Legend of Korra are on Steam, I hope we get more Platinum love going forward.

Right on!
The game is awesome, and you get the two DLC campaigns as well so be sure to play those!

anything AAA wise that's good coming to steam this year? Only thing I've spotted on the site that I'm interested in is the new Civ game. Everything else looks like a shooter or something violent.
LEGO Batman 3?

Nobody on dispenser.tf is selling it anymore, so I assume the package already changed :/
Im not so sure. Seems like Platinum is more of a console-centric dev. PC is getting Korra because Activision is publishing and funding it and MGR is because of Konami.
I've been going off this list for upcoming game releases http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/10/09/2014-video-game-release-schedule.aspx
Some games I am personally looking forward to
FF XIII (released yesterday)
Evil Within (extremely violent)
Lords of the Fallen (violent)
Legend of Korra
Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Geometry Wars

humble brag?

Every time someone says humble brag, I immediately think it has something to do with Humble Bundle, haha.
OMG,OMG,OMG
too many games at the same time
i dropped DR3 because i can't play it on 10-15 FPS
now its been almost 2 days downloading FF XIII ( i blame neogaf for this )
and now, Ryse is released and i think its good optimized
and after 3 days evil within is going to be released , but some local stores in my town put Xbox 360/PS3 version of it and start thinking maybe my PC will not be able to play this game just like DR3
i don't have PS4 or X1
and start thinking i better get PS4

Be sure to get Bayonetta 1 alongside #2, it's one of the best games of this last gen.
Still an offense it's not out on Steam.
Freedom = $1.05

we'll always have nuuvem, bless their soul.
Yeah, for now. I wouldn't dilly-dally.
Edit: Speaking of Disney's presence on Steam still feels like some sort of bizarre dream.
I just noticed that this setting here doesn't work anymore. It always gets unticked after saving the changes... FIX YOUR SHIT VALVE!
Anyone who used that setting, check your settings, your gifts are probably viewable for everyone out there.
EDIT: That gradient is pretty ugly
That option is checked by default. It is a potential issue if you've ever listed a game on TF2 Outpost, though, as the site requires that your gift inventory be public.
Forgot Legend of Korra finally got it's steam page so I added that to my wishlist as well to remind me I need to pick it up at some point.
While I'm on the subject of action/hack n slash games... Outside of Platinum which other games would you guys recommend I pick up on Steam? One series off the top of my head that I feel I need to try is Devil May Cry. I noticed DmC 3 and 4 are both on steam. Do any of you recommend both or should I just get one of them? 4 is the best correct?
The Bayo demo moved me from "I'll get it at some point" to "DAY 1 OMG" so I just placed my preorder on Amazon. It comes with both Bayo 1 & 2 so I'll be playing through Bayo 1 first. Game releases the same day as Civ: Beyond Earth though so I'll have to switch between the two of them.

This will be a short impressions, as I've only put 0.6 hours into it, but here's what I thought of Boot Hill Heroes so far:
It is absolutely inspired by Earthbound and SNES style RPG's of that time. The graphical style is very reminiscent of that period (the area scrolling and the point of view are as Earthbound as it gets), as is the incredible music (which is what gave me the final push to purchase).
The story seems okay, has a decent set-up of an outlaw gang being run out of town/disbanding because of the main character's father and it picks up ten years later as you, named Kid, go out into town to help your mother with making ends meet. Along the way you meet Rosa, your first party member.
The combat is very, very much like Shining Force, maybe more like Shining in the Darkness. First person, list of attack options, and the animations are similar to that. There is some clever writing when you go in and out of battles, but it repeats rather than having newer things to say. The combat is simple: you choose an attack, you wait for the ATB bar to fill, then rinse and repeat with different types of attack, or dodge (and block comes not too long after).
There are equip items which add different attributes. One of the downsides is that there isn't options for resolution or the like, outside of switching from KB/M to controller.
I like what I have played, and am interested in continuing. Plus the save points are dogs. I repeat, dogs are save points. I'd say it's worth wishlisting or buying based on that alone.

wow, they are making a 3rd game ?
what about the 2nd one , who about port it any way
That's an issue, you don't "Switch" out of Civ until 10 hours later.
Good call otherwise.

I'm still trying to decide whether or not to jump into Apocalypse once I finish TFTD or if I should skip to Enemy Unknown. I think I might just get Apocalypse out of the way before playing the Firaxis remake.
That's about 80% of AAA games, and a good portion of indie and small publisher games too
I dunno, BoI: Rebirth seems pretty violent, but maybe it's just me. Korra has mild violence too.
