As do I.. I don't play anything competitive, only single player or with buddies.
I come from a console background, so I use controller for everything that will allow me to use it.

I also discovered recently that Steam keeps a track of every display name you have ever used.
I wish it didn't. That's the only thing I don't like, after going through random display names while playing Street Fighter before.
6 euros and counting from card money since I was market locked from changing to a new computer. At least Lords will be cheaper >_>
Also, on chapter 11
in the Evil Within, the game really is to RE what Dark was to Demons Souls. Day 1 zeitgeist is pass, but deffo dont pass on it come sale time
Also, on chapter 11
of 15
Steam > Origin > XBL > PSN
it doesn't keep every display name ever, it only shows the 10 most recent.
Oh, well that's something then. Wasn't aware of that. I guess it's obvious that they would put a limit on it thinking about it, I just hadn't reached it yet.
And its up!
Something's definitively going on with the game, as it's also been removed from all regions of Steam except the US.
It was £29.99 previously, but now there's no option to pre-purchase.
For quite a while following the game's disappearance from Steam it was possible to buy Steam keys from Acti's own store. Just something to remember come January.
I'm aware, that's where I got the DLC for dirt cheap instead of buying it from people wanting 8 keys for it
Right I'd rather smash my teeth in than deal with iOS 8 anymore. So to give me some further impetus to pull my finger out anyone got any good recomendations on a Windows based tablet with a x86 CPU? Saw jim-jam talking up a Dell Venue 8 and five element ninja posted a good break down on Steam Streaming on a Surface Pro but any other input. I had a look at an ASUS T100 earlier and they're stupidly cheap at the moment and look more than capable (albeit with quite a low resolution display). Cheers in advance.
Lords? it was 59.99€ for the longest time, then the other day it dropped to a much more reasonable 49.99€ (and added pre-order stuff I believe), then the same day you couldnt buy it anymore
Also its not removed, just the ability to buy it is
That is odd. I bought it just yesterday!

Oh, you!If there's a phrase I live by, it's "Duck Dynasty; don't delay!"
Having a look round, CD-Keys still sell it.
Although they're not exactly a 'Steam partner', or whatever.
It's kind of arena, horde mode with you and upto 3 others on maps that are semi related to the story. I foundmit alrightish at launch but the communtiy kind of died within a month or so of release so you need a regualr group to grt some of the bigger score or multi person skill shots going. There was 2 DLC packs that had a coup,e or more maps a piece but they died along with the GFWL Marketplace a while back. Seeing everyone and there mum's are buying Bulletstorm right now and who knows when GFWL is going to bite the dust might be worth a SteamGAF Games Night for those wanting a blast.
Thanks for the review. Horde mode with 4 people sounds fun. Might be the closest thing we get to Gears of War on PC right now.
Well I'm kind of hoping that talk of a Marcus Fenix Collection of Gears 1-3 comes to furition and that Microsoft's supossed 'plans' for PC aren't a lot of hot air this time. That and if it did ever exist, that it might see a Steam release in the future. I'm probably going to hang for this (though Seuss probably has my back) but I'd be tempted to pick up a Xbox One if Gear of Remastered Edition was a real thing but wasn't coming to PC. Saying that I got duped into buying a 360 for Gears and Mass Effect and look how that turned out.
I've started to limit myself to only bundles with at least 2 games I might play and if those aren't a slam dunk at least one has to have cards.
I just bought a "bundle" of the three IR bundles I couldn't purchase myselfis that what you mean JaseC?

Speaking of bundles I (or anyone) shouldn't have bought....
I prevented ModBot from doing his thing by editing while he was editing, MM is gone, don't know how he handles the rest so the others might be too.

I'm kind of the same, there can't be too many say >50% of games I already own and the ones that don't already have must interest me in some way. Of course that doesn't always hold, though I've been pretty good recently. I haven't bought the New Blink bundle or the Bitcomposer, Horror or War bundles from Indiegala, too many repeats and nothing particularly interesting.
Mhm, did we ever get a bundle bundle? If not, this is certainly what we need in the future.

Anybody using the Limelight app to stream from PC to Android devices? Any reason why controller just kind of stops working sometimes, and if uPlay messes it up in general? Won't seem to start up Rayman Legends with the controller.
Also to anybody here who knows, is Fire TV support for Limelight planned at all in the future?

Just beat The Evil Within. Took me 13 hours and this was with exploring regularly as well.
It has a good length for a SP only game. While a enjoyable experience, it's not of Mikami's top quality. It reuses a lot of his older ideas as well as numerous horror cliches so the element of surprise is lost often. However when the game has it's moment's they really stand out. The story leaves more questions than answers which isn't always a bad thing, but here you just kind of wonder if you missed something by the end. Thankfully the locales, encounters, and other elements even if reused are still very enjoyable to play and witness. So it's definitely worth a play if the game interests you at all.
is that what you mean JaseC?
Haha, it's certainly a solid example.
You may be on to something!
Nice write up, do you think it's a GOTY candidate?
There not the same but which one did you prefe: A:I or TEW?

Then wait for the mission to come up with a lower difficulty on the selection screen. I agree that all this is weird for newcomers but it's manageable.

Honestly no, it's good but I can't see it as a GOTY contender for anyone who plays a multitude of genres and titles.
At the very end of the day if I had to absolutely pick one of the other.
I probably would end up picking alien. Alien has the advantage of having the story which for me is a big plus.
you're a good person
You know what is disappointing? As you said by the end of the game it feel like you still miss something. Like a lot of questions were still left open. Which isn't usually a bad thing. But I feel like they're saving the answers for the Season Pass DLCs. Which is uncool. DLCs supposed to be extra content not you have to pay for an ending explanation.
this stopped being the case about 4 years ago.
If it's not the ending, it's other important parts that got gutted for profit

Ozium randomly invited me to CS. Are you that desperate for players?
Thanks for sharing, and 13 hours sounds like a decent length. I'm just glad to get another Mikami horror game, even if it's not his best effort.
Very uncool, but it was something to be abused sooner or later.
Thank'ye kindly good sir.
Syfy. Remember when they had Scifi? Pepperidge farm remembers. Anyway, 31 days? Bloody hell, I can't even think of 31 decent halloween-esque horror films, let alone enough stuff to fill a good chunk of 31 days. Jeez.
Forgot Turfster. He's the discount-maester.
Does that make me the Steam loner? ,_,
... By the way, do we have any good GAF curator-stuff-thing for Steam?

I always thought one of the reasons Bulletstorm flopped was because they released a pretty terrible demo. It was a single level from the game that had a score attack objective which incentivized finishing it as fast as possible. So in the end it was about 5-10 minutes of play time and you never really got a chance to explore the combat and the combo system.
Instead of that they really should have released a multiplayer demo with one of the horde mode maps. I found them extremely fun to play. The way it was set up was that you had to reach a minimum team score to progress to the next wave of enemies. The required score would obviously increase with every wave and the way to reach higher scores was to set up combination kills with your team mates. You really had to work together and get creative with the skillshot system to get higher scores. It was fun, challenging and would have beautifully demonstrated the combat mechanics of the game. That's why I thought it would have made the perfect demo.
Of course, the industry these days seems to be terrified of releasing multiplayer demos. At best you get 'open betas' that last 2-6 days. They seem to be afraid that letting players play a demo longer will kill sales or something. Such a far cry from how things used to be a decade ago. All those hours spent in DM17 in q3test or Torlan in the UT2004 demo never stopped me from buying the full games.

Playing Bayonetta 2 demo preparing for the 24th.
Very fine, my darling. 3 AM, listening to some lovely ole music with a deep, thumping bassContemplating whether I should go to bed, play around with my new Intuos Pro or play some Alien or alike. Decisions... Decisions...
Edit: Almost forgot to say, all hail Bayonetta, the saviour of Nintendo. May she live long and prosper!
Nintendo needs her to
Cheers.
Ok, that triggered a memory. Story time!sup guys
The first time I was at a scientific conference (it was about computer vision), the guy speaking before me presented a tool for automatically deriving classification algorithms for image regions. Basically, you mark some regions and the tool derives an algorithm to find that type of region.
So he used an image like in the setting above as an example: bright and dark tiles, both in and out of the shadow. He made a particular point to note that you can't just look at the individual pixel intensity, since dark tiles in the light have the same intensity as light tiles in the shade.
He marked some bright tiles, both inside and outside the shade, and then ran the algorithm generator. Upon opening the code, what greeted him and us was a single line: p_i > 0.7.
That day, I decided never to do a live demo on a stage, and it has served me well since.
