STEAM | October II 2014 - PC Gaming: Getting a D in Yoga class

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.
Well GAF, I survived 24 hours of straight gaming and it was glorious. I had a lot of fun doing some short (1 - 2 hour) forays into almost 20 games in my backlog. Some of them I'll definitely be replaying and finishing, others... probably not.

Thanks everyone that showed up to my stream!

I'm getting everything together, and later this evening I'll be doing the raffle for 24 awesome games from IsThereAnyDeal.com. So far we've raised $823.00 for the children's hospital in Portland, OR! The donations are technically open until some time in November, but if you'd like your shot at the raffle you've only got a few hours left to donate.

Thanks again to everyone that's supported this great cause. Of the almost 50,000 Extra Life participants this year, Enhanced Steam is in the top 1,000 for money raised. So really from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Is The Club any good? $3.74 on GMG right now.
The PC port has its flaws - it runs on GFWL for starters - and The Club has its rough edges mechanically, but the actual concept behind it made for one of my personal favorite games for the previous generation of consoles. I never did like the Mercenaries sidemode in the Resident Evil games for a number of reasons, but The Club improves the formula in a number of ways despite the shooting not being as visually satisfying; matters like spawn locations or number of enemies (which is increased on higher difficulties) not being random like in Mercenaries, it having some racing game design principles with how speed is of importance for higher scores, no score-related exploits to be found et cetera.

Makes me sad that Bizarre Creations closed down and that this wasn't conceived as a smaller game that could be sold at a cheaper price on various digital distribution services for an arcade-like timewaster; think RedLynx' Trials series. It was something special, and I would've liked to see no-brainer features (like in-game replays) implemented in a hypothetical sequel if Bizarre was given a second chance.

But season 3 is great.
I remain skeptical after season 1 and 2.

Dark Souls just finished installing. Is there anything I need before I start a playthrough?
Don't put any points into resistance when you level up. It's a useless stat.

Also you'll want to stay under 50% of your equip load. Ant higher and you'll roll like a sack of potatoes.

Thanks for the Dark Souls tips guys, though I just remember, I should probably wait for GFWL to be taken out before starting my game.

So just trying Idle Master for the first time, is it correct that the 'play time' for each game idled will appear in my Steam profile?
 
How do you check whether a game is region locked now that it doesn't show up on the steam page? It used to say "This game is only purchasable in ************" but it no longer does even for locked games.

Right. I suppose that's to be expected, although it does artificially inflate the times. Is there an average time it takes to idle per game?

20 minutes per card is the default value but some games (notoriously Blade Symphony) take much longer (an hour or more per card).

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Thank you for those that donated to extra life and kept me company during the 24 hours stream, it was fun. The final tally was $174.16, which was more than I initially thought I would do, but its a shame we didnt get to $200 for the Shadow of Mordor raffle, oh well :)

As promised for reaching $100 in donations, here is a copy of Beyond Earth

Gaf, help me understand Dustforce. I love indie platformers as much as the next guy, but I can't get my head around this. The controls are SO clunky, and not in a Dark Souls "Oh, I get this now" way. I can't even get out of the (new?) tutorial area because I'm doing a wall and ceiling run, stopping half way, and not able to jump. And any movement means taking a massive step left or right. I even had to load up Spelunky, to make sure my PS3 pad drivers weren't adding input lag to it.

Edit: OK I was supposed to dash jump, but my point still stands
