Man I could give you tons of great PnC games to play.
Have you gotten the Blackwell series? Those are great. Simple but really good stories.
GOG.com has Sam and Max Hit the road, get that too, as it's a funny and crazy PnC game.
A few games

Playing through Shank 2 for the first time, Doctor is just ridiculously silly lol.
Thanks for the spare! This was in my watch-list, it looks line an interesting exploration game
It's interesting how people write "man", "dude" and "sir" in the thank you-PMs.
Also a bit sad. Assuming someone is male seems to be the norm here too.
Ohwell.
Been playing Murdered: Soul Suspect lately. It is so far a really good game. It's like it was made just for me. Always fun when you find that kind of game!

Far enough, but it's hard not to like that new splash, especially if you're a Curse/Voy fan like I am. The salute just screams "Cya nerds!"
And hey, you have a fairly generic looking anime girl as your avatar, you can't really talk.
Well, none of my friends are interested in Risk of Rain so,

"Brah" is all inclusive brah. No barriers. No hate.
I know, I usually keep an eye on the PnC thread since there are such great recommendations there.
I haven't tried Blackwell but I have one of them installed, will probably get them all first and then play them in order.Bubbavelli

So for those who saw my post yesterday, I think I made a decision:
Im going to my hometown's state school next fall rather than drop out all together although I'm going to withdraw from classes this semester . It might not be a private school but at least I'll save money and have my support group around me. Plus I think i'll finish sociology and double major in computer science. At least im feeling a bit better about this decision. Spring will give me some time to clear my head and stack some money.
Thank you steamGAF for all your input, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the impressions.
Eh, i've never used those words to thank people. But i did just use one that you would like.

I say man and dude to refer to people of either gender. Can't really say why, could be an age thing or something.
Oh boy, looks like someone is ready for a good cry.

I think 'dude' could maybe be gender neutral, I mean, 'dudette' doesn't really sound all that good to me personally.
Though usually, I end up using 'mate' or 'pal' in this context, since it seems to avoid those issues.
fairly generic!
the nerve...
i generally try using generics like friend/buddy for that reason
even tho mentally i just assign people the gender of their avatar aka everyone's a girl in my mind
I swear that the powers that be (well the ones of the consumerist deities I worship) don't want me to have any disposable income left this month, the week even. First all the Ghibli Steelbooks went on sale, then the first LucasArt games turn up on GOG, now there's that awesome Humble Bundle and I'm already scraping the bottom of the barrel of my budget. Plus there's bound to be a few things in the Halloween Sale in a couple of days right before pay day.

I call girls "dude," too.

I've been doing that since last year. Had been going to a public university but the financial hit was hard, especially after Rick Scott took away my scholarship the May of my Freshman year because he has no soul, and my anxiety was making taking classes a practice in futility. Going to a local college has really helped clear my head and stuff.
Thank you.

I call everyone dude. But yes, I do assume most people here are male unless I know for a fact it's the opposite.
Sounds like City Interactive upped their game from reading the impressions in the OT. Well on the gameplay front not the technical side of things.

That's disappointing. I hate when that happens. I kept having crashing issues with Alien, which kinda diminished my excitement when I could lose a big chunk of progress multiple times.
Edit: I could totally be a girl and only like 4 of you would know otherwise.
Before you can adequately traverse the not-true dark souls, you must face the true dark souls.
I think Confucius said it.
humble bundle has a 4x risk of rain thingie on the beat the average thing
and then he got ganked by a twinker

RPS is having problems with the game too: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/10/28/lords-of-the-fallen-pc-review/
Hope there's a fix soon, it's a shame if that keep happening, thanks for the quick stream either way. A friend of mine will be getting the console version so I might try it later on. *runs*

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.
Same here. Next month is going to be worse, since Smash Wii U and 2 new Pokemon games all come out on the same day.
If only I really was a squidgirl.
i fixed my performance issues by going fullscreen (someone on another thread said that SLI doesnt play nice with borderless aparently, which seems to be true for this, but then I got all excited to try Mordor, and it still ran like ass, but anyway), but the crashes are ridiculous
Like I said earlier, I had 2 crashes on the tutorial boss, then tried a bit later and it finally worked. and now its crashing in completely random places.
game actually seems great too, how frustrating. lets hope a patch fixes it, impossible to recomend (and play) like this

Woah, Jim Sterling saying that Lords of the Fallen almost broke his PC apparently =/

To be fair, he's not outright saying LotF is the cause of this but damn it's not painting a pretty picture for it.

Agreed, it's just frustrating knowing their abilities and how much better our experience with the store and client could be from even the most minor of tweaks. When you use both daily and encounter the same little niggles it grates.
Figures, would have been a really neat to filter by Win OS version, ruling out hundreds if not thousands of unplayable games from taunting me
Woah, too many answers to quote but okay, I guess "dude" and "man" can be said to women too but it still looks a lot like you're assuming that you're talking to a man. I don't usually care too much tho, it's just interesting to see.
Yeah same for me. Started with "okay, it's my b-day soon, this can be my b-day gift for myself!" and then went completely downhill from there

Managed to break OlliOlli with the tricktionary, it wouldn't open anymore and dropped my FPS to like single digits. Here's some other seemingly weird things going on like the back navigation/menus being all over the place. However, it was pretty damn fun. But I swear that some of those tricks are easier to pull on a real skateboard (I have been skating 20 years soon so that might help too)

Well I went a little nuts and got The Evil Within again but physically. It has a nice 3D effect on it like Vanquish did.
Also Bayonetta 2 GOTY. I straight shot through the whole game in one go.

I'm on mobile, I can't see if it's anyone in particular. It's tiny.
Same for me. It's pretty much the same as adressing people in MOBAs by the name and gender of the champ/hero/god/shaper/whatever they're playing. It was always weird when I used to Skype a lot of people and they had various female anime or video game characters as their avatar, then they speak with a fairly deep, manly voice.
Holy shit.
Plus Kingdom Hearts 2.5 is out on the same day as Smash over here. I'm sooo glad Captain Toad got put back to early Jan so I've at least got some breathing space. I know I can wait on Smash as it will probably get the most use around Christmas when family are round but it's my missus who's more after it than me so it's preordered and she hates games! I was hoping to ride the year out without spending any more after MGSV: Ground Zeroes and pick up a few impulse purchases in the sales but I just know after I've sorted my Xmas shopping I'm going to go nuts. I mean Valkyria Chronicles is getting snapped up the second it's available
Yeah same for me. Started with "okay, it's my b-day soon, this can be my b-day gift for myself!" and then went completely downhill from there
Well I've been doing alright since July and have reigned things in but too many things that have interested me have come around at the right price at the right time. Or I could just be honest with myself and say I'm incredible weak when something shiny is shown to me.

It's getting cumbersome getting so many spares. I'm sure I have a few more from IndieGala and BundleStars.
