Do I need to install Payday or just grab it?
a year at minimum. i'm literally doing everything myself from designing the fonts to making 3d models and animating them to pixelart to coding my own level editor and the ai and menus and everything. i'm even making placeholder sounds and everything[/quote]
Damn, sounds like you've got your hands full.
Look forward to seeing it once you're ready to go public. Anything you can reveal about it now (genre, theme) or are you keeping everything under wraps until then?
Now you're getting me all nostalgic. I need to rewatch Bebop. Though I've got so much other stuff I want to see and do right now, there's no telling when I'll actually get to it.
I think you're kind of missing my point. If somebody plays and enjoys it, how is it a waste of their time? It's not like they don't know there are other, "better" games out there that they could be playing, and are only playing Skyrim (or whatever) out of ignorance. Most of the time, they've decided to play that game instead of the one people say they "should be playing", because the "better" one isn't better for them. Now, you can try to tart up your argument by claiming that your personal tastes are in line with some absolute standard and other peoples' aren't, but when it comes to stuff like Skyrim or FO3, I'm going to call bullshit on that. Those games do some things very well - things like immersion, selling the player on exploring a living, breathing world. You may not value those things yourself, and that's fine, but that doesn't lessen their worth in the absolute sense, and it doesn't mean the people who enjoy them lack taste. They just don't share your tastes.

You "own" it though, it's not like a free weekend game, so yes, cards drop.

Thought that was just for 'free weekend' games?
If the game itself was free, doesn't it act as normal?
Ah, I didn't realise it wasn't part of the Free Weekend slate.

Because there's no real demand
It does, expect if game is permanently free, then only option is micro-transactions.
It's a 24 hour free offer because they had a bajillion trillion people in their steam group or something

EA.
Saying that the Quidich World Cup was alright. I know the PS One versions were quite different from the PS2 ones but that chart puts Ubisoft's Collectors Editions to shame.
Speaking of EA and licenced games why weren't their Lord of the Rings games available anywhere digitally? Granted they have long since lost the licence by now but at the time EA Link (that's Origin to us now a days) was around. Battle for Middle Earth 2 is a glorious game that is lost to the annuals of time (well unless you go looking on eBay or the like).

The Grid 2 DLC pack being only 50% is a bummer. Was cheaper before.

Why the hell haven't I heard anybody talk about this one? Randomly installed it and Im so much making a video of it. Fantastic game!
The game is a lot better than you would expect!
...and I find myself a dollar poorer, but I now own all four Penny Arcade games. Thank you, sir.

RPS supporters can grab a 'Magicka: Wizard Wars Rock-Throwing RPS Robe': http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/10/16/magicka-wizard-wars-rps-robe/
Ah, forgot about that.
Ah, forgot about that.
Sure, but I was thinking more of the Technician skill tree and not having that.
The hat is still selling for almost $30.

The naming of the 4 games still annoys me.

it's the broken pieces of a stealth game for nowDamn, sounds like you've got your hands full.
i want to say "immersive sim" but that term is so ugly
no theme for now cos my main character is going through gender identity issues and every week i change everything -_-
i just rewatch the movie from time to time. not too time consuming
it's not that i don't value "immersion" (i kinda hate this world lately), i just think that a game to be immersive it has to have good writing and more to do in their world than go to cave and murder everything in it. it has to draw you in by being smart and interesting. skyrim and fo3 just throw dragons and mutants and nuke catapults at you from very early on. but try and get invested in this world and all you hear are poorly written reused fantasy/post-apoc tropes (which is not the case for new vegas!) and your only interaction with things is killing them in the less interesting way possible or watching them drone about with dead eyes staring into nothingness. new vegas isn't amazing in this last point either but the way its quests are designed really makes miracles out of that rotten old ass engine (new vegas legendary quest flowchart.jpeg)
and like call of duty and ass creed also have redeeming points. ass creed in particular is amazing how much work they put in recreating those cities and whatever. but they're still junk food, no matter how much weaklings like me or saoirse like it.
a bit of junk food is ok, i'm eating subway right now, but like when it's days of your life spent on it i think it may have been a bit much. i always feel guilty when i watch my hour count after an ass creed game or like when i realized that the burger i ordered doesn't fit my mouth
fortunately i have magical genetic skinniness :>

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Why would it be racist? Or did Steam add NoBlacks and WhiteOnly?
Do you hate me if I take both?
Not at all.

Man, Steam slowed to a crawl for the Payday giveaway.
I was working on a new Enhanced Steam feature, what do you guys think?
That will come in handy, but it also makes me a sad panda
I think it's better
Good bundle for me. I need Penny 2 and the Baconing to complete my collection...

You can add games to the blacklist.txt in the idle master folder. Just add the games catalog number

Does this sound semantically correct?
Yeah, sounds fine to me.

cool it worked, thanks lego dude
About The Baconing, on the plus side, now I own all 3 games on Steam that I had on the PS3 (well, still missing the Baconing DLC, I'll get it one day), on the neg side... why? Why call it simply The Baconing? Why not... I don't know... let me think hard about it... DeathSpank: The Baconing? So that it would fit with Deathspank and DeathSpank: Thongs Of Virtue?
