Thats definitely the SR symbol. GAT out of Hell hasnt been bundled yet.https://twitter.com/humble/status/654358513804644353
People are thinking the purple is Saints Row and the lantern is Torchlight II. Humble said the monthly bundle would include games not previously bundled by them, but it's not clear if that applies to all included games or some.

Yea, I did a Quick Look on it awhile ago:

I *really* liked this game though I kind of tapped out the Early Access-ness of it. I was hoping to get back into it when more features were added but more-or-less your Dungeon Keeper meets (casual)Dwarf Fortress assessment is correct.
Another neat feature it has is *after* you do the Dungeon Keeper portion of the game, you can play through your map (where your dungeon resides) in a single player Roguelike fashion.
Or you could play maps made from other people.
Very very cool.

How does its Dungeon Keeperiness compare to War for the Overworld? (If you've played it.)
I enjoyed it. I mean, yeah, its not much more than just a city filled with a bunch of activities that you have to complete over and over, with not much of a story mode, but it was alright. Traversal is the best yet in the series and despite not much story content there's still plenty of funny sequences in those.
Should have figured you'd already have it.

To go from SR4 (aka SR3- Xpac DLC) to that really tells me Deep Silver's bar of quality.
I miss THQ.
I do hope they change things up in SRV. That engine they've been using needs to go ASAP.
I dont think GAT is a bad entry in the series, but you have to consider its a small-budget spin-off. If someone enjoys SR gameplay, its certainly worth 3.75$ whenever it reaches that price point.
I got it for $4.99 when GameStop had the pre-order price mistake and didn't feel bad about my purchase.

I haven't played it but it looks pretty similar. Basically you mine sections of a mountain using imps and then you grid out areas a certain designation, like vault/wizards/etc. Then they either store or generate whatever unit you selected and from there can have them scout out unexplored areas of the map.
Again, KeeperRL isn't pretty. But I had a lot of fun with it.
There is a freedemo here:

Nice to hear. How deep is the combat system? Does it keep track of specific body part health and conditions like Dwarf Fortress or is it more on the attack vs defense, damage vs hitpoints side?

What is going on in Paint it Back? Is it like Minesweeper?
It's more like Picross or nonograms.

I have no idea what that is

It does keep track of damage to body parts, though I don't remember if you could see it or not. But many times I encountered either my troops or my enemies arms getting chopped off and then they couldn't attack me any more.
Likewise, legs can be chopped off. If they only have one leg, there movement is severely impaired. If both legs get chopped off, I believe they stop moving altogether.
edit: About the combat system in general, it's not too deep but it's definitely not shallow. Certain troops are better against others. Some unit types are immune to certain effects. You can also pause time and make actions on a turn-based schedule ala Roguelike. Which it then plays more like a casual Strategy RPG. The game is always turn based, but there are different speeds that you can set the game to auto advance.
- The players created their own stories
- Modders created hundres or thousands of story mods
- it is a loveletter to the community
- it is FANSERVICE to the community
That's cool, one of the best things about DF is the ridiculous detail that the health is simulated to with circulatory and respiratory systems and stuff.

Neat. My Steam controller shipped 20 minutes ago and is estimated to be delivered today. seems pretty unlikely, but here's hoping.
Do you mean on the first week?

500,000 is possible but I suspect it won't reach that much in 1 year's time...

Iirc japan's "tales of" sales numbers outscale every region combined to a high degree. Correct me if im wrong.

Somebody shold make a petition.
Well, you are somebody.
Well, you are somebody.
I think that's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about someone else on the internet.
Picross aka nonogramas aka griddlers is a puzzle game in which you look at the numbers in a column and a row, and then fill in the colour (often just black) and form a picture. Similar to Minesweeper in that you spend time marking what won't work, unlike Minesweeper in that it starts off as a blank image and you don't start with a random guess.
Images can be anything from a 5 by 5 picture that makes the letter H to a some picross puzzles out there of 1000 by 1000 to recreate a Vang Gogh painting.
This is an example from a Game Boy game where the idea is to form the picture of a Game Boy. The X blocks represent that don't fit, while the black spots are where they were filled in with a colour (the board starts all white).
The top row has a number of 15. That means that 15 of the spots in that row are to be coloured in, which is easy when there is only 15 blocks in that row. Other rows or columns that aren't so simple, it's a matter of finding where each fits and having it fit the numbers of other rows/columns. So for example if you can find out where 2 2 (meaning two different groups of 2 blocks) for a row go, you can X out everything else in that row because they will have nothing in them.
It's a very relaxing and simulating game picross. Very easy to get into if you are of the type to get into puzzle games, while having the ability to offer good challenge the higher the difficulty and/or size goes.
Paint it Back has a demo if you wish to try that, http://www.griddlers.net/griddlers exists as one where fans of the puzzle type put up all their designs, and if you have a device that plays DS games you can always get Nintendo's Picross series which most agree is top of the line.

Spelunky pro-tip: don't kill any shopkeepers until the black market. Then kill all of them in there and rob it completely blind. There's basically foolproof ways to do it. I do it the way I saw Patick Klepek do it: Blow up the ledge at the top left, climb up on a rope, aggro the shopkeeper so he runs off the ledge, then work you way down dropping bombs on the shopkeeper from above. Basically do this every run, because having all the stuff from the black market makes the rest of the game much easier.
Pretty sad.

No, nor does it have any relevance to any Arkham game. Arguably even Arkham City.
Yes. I hope the STEAM version pulls a Dark Souls 1/2 and outsells each console version.
I think it can do better than the english console versions, at least.

Apparently Lego Worlds popped up on Nuuvem, it's like 7 I think. And I also think you need a VPN.

Man, when you get within a few levels of the end in Runestone Keeper the difficulty ramps up hard. Not impossible but it definitely takes off.
It really is sad some of the background choices for some games. The Doctor Who Adventure Game has to be the worst though. All the potential they had and we got boring ugly landscapes with nothing on them at all related to the series.
I've been really happy with my CM Storm Recon, and it was pretty cheap (under $30). I think most people just recommend Logitech mouses though.

I really like my Steelseries Rival (now called Rival 300). I use a hybrid grip and it feels nice but next time I'll get a bigger one to fit my large hands. The buttons and grips are really nice, colored lights fun. Reviews call the sensor supreme, but I can't say other than it moves solidly.
I've got a Mionix Naos 7000. It's a bit on the large side, so you'd probably want to try it in a store. It's got some dumb leds on it, but they can be disabled from the driver software. The driver software also has a nice amount of options for the sensor and macros.
