Finally got around to finishing Marlow Briggs. Such a glorious game, totally needs a sequel. I wonder if it did well enough in some of those deep discount sales to warrant one or if it was considered an initial flop. Totally needs trading cards as well, seems perfect for some amazing emoticons.
 
Anyone else have an issue with Playfire not updating with anything you're playing? I've set my Steam profile to Public like it says but nothing I've done has updated. I should at least have a couple things done for Borderlands but it says I have 0 games and nothing done.

Wow am I going crazy...or did Slave Zero just pop into my new releases feed? haha

Where's dat Shogo at?!?!

On GOG.

Or in the CD carousel next to my monitor. >.>

Even though it was technically "anime-inspired", I think the game captured the spirit of OG Robotech (not Macross) better than any game since. The script and voicework felt like a love letter to that era of localized anime.

I'd really like a sequel one day, or failing that, an HD remaster. (Talk about games crying out for the cel-shaded look!) Doubt it'll ever happen, but I can dream.

Evil Within is all over the place. Some Sections I love, some sections I absolutely hate.

Also Evil Within Spoiler

Did I just walk back to a goddamn giant dog monster for a pair of glasses?

I definitely enjoyed it and 100% agree! I had it on a compilation CD pack that was the weirdest bundle of games (Shogo, Oni, Revenant, Heavy Metal F.A.K.K 2, and Serious Sam)

Rush appeared with Gold! in one of the most comprehensive adventure games of the 1980s

Sorta cringed at that, but the game looks like it might be decent.

That article is written by Matt Martin yet the start of it says

I find it really bizarre that he mentions his own name at the end of that as if he's quoting himself, Says RavenValor95

Maybe it's someone else writing it for him, because he can't actually type. Or maybe he's actually just Mr. Stewart.

just played Chivalry for the first time in months, man they changed a lot aesthetically. UI is drastically improved as well.

Hopefully they remove archers. i don't see why they're in the game let alone why anyone would play them. the melee combat is so good, you might as well just play BF if you want to sit back and snipe.

That was by far my favorite part in the game story wise.

Yeah I find it pretty odd when they decide on higher idle times.
I guess the thought is that "hey if we make them longer they'll play it just because".
Don't think that idea has ever worked more than 5% of the time.

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.

I don't think it's ever done anything besides piss people off. Even when I'm playing a game and getting card drops, I still think "Man, I just played that for over two hours, and I still have drops remaining?" Crazy.

Apparently those Disney games are pretty heavy on the drop times too.

If anything I had Dustforce on my list of games to check out (I have so many platformers that I need to space them out) but this move just makes me not want to play it out of spite.

gotta have archers for those CoD "I gotta shoot ppl" kiddos I guess...

it's the same way in medieval mode in TF2... literally everyone hates the sniper (uses the huntsman) I've never not played medieval mode in TF2 and not heard people bitching about "fuckin snipers bruh"

There was a Geometry Wars 2?

it was a XBLA title on the 360

I think some devs are still expecting people to just play the games normally and take the drops when they come, rather than idling them. I'm guessing they try to scale the drop rates so that if you played the game through to completion (or at least a good part of the way), all the cards would drop.
I used to play like that and not idle everything, before the coming of Idle Master... >.>

If you already own it, not playing it really won't do much to spite the devs. ^^;

I've played indie games that I've literally completely finished the game and got 100% of the achievements in and still have drops remaining...

devs need to learn that their internal "this game takes X long to complete" time is almost assuredly bullshit

well I got it in a bundle so I didn't give them money and I assume that most creative people get joy from having others enjoy their creations so not going to give them the satisfaction *folds arms*

I'll probably play it eventually..... eventually

Point taken. Most devs don't seem very good at judging how long the "average" playthrough takes, unless they resort to stuff like data collection in game.

In a not as ridiculous comment as that.
The openness of the platform is what I love about PC.
Especially the backwards compatibility.
Which consoles makers are screwing over hard now.

Yeah, definitely can't disagree with that.

It's just, I always try to imagine the facial expression and attitude of PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND LIKE TO USE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean - I've been there before as well.
When GTA V got announced for PS4 I was witnessing it all live.
First disappointment because NO mention of PC at Sony's press conference, followed by a massive injection of adrenaline when Rockstar released a trailer mentioning PC (I was the one that broke the news on gtaforums.com ).
All while spamming nonsense messages IN ALL CAPS about how good the PC platform is and that consoles are worse etc.
It was 4:30 am and when I went to bed I couldn't sleep for at least an hour.

Never again.
I hope.
Who am I kidding. I always board hype trains.


He's seen the light of GabeN and it was just too much for him, so he's lost it.

lol yes. Who can not feel blessed by the presence of this handsome man on planet Earth?

It's what I live for.
when they actually want to do it.

I can but apparently someone higher up wanted to try something new and said no phones.
Still trying to understand the reasoning.

Well, when you're deployed in the real shit away from a robust bases like Camp Arifjan or Leatherneck, you won't have that kind of stuff. Maybe they want to test out they're communications capabilities. But I guarantee people will be bringing their phones. Everyone from E-1 to E-9. People can't live without Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Clash of Clans.

Maybe you can arrange something with someone and they could be on game watch for you while you're gone.
