Well, I did manage to go about three months without being infected with Bad Rats. It had to happen at some point.
Happy birthday!

The only "bad" part of it for me is that the physics are bad and stuff doesn't go where you mean to place it. You know, the game parts.

I need to work harder to become Sega's president and this way bring Persona to PC, maybe after I play some more of Pinball FX2.
Strawberry cake for my birthday, GAF! My wife hinted that I'll be getting Steam credit for my birthday. My favorite.
Happy birthday then.

I haven't played the DLC (I was kind of disgusted with the main game by the time I was done, not to mention it was on the 360 so I had no reason to go back to it) so the enemy and boss design being kind of crappy in the DLC is the definition of "not surprising" to me.
Good news: they've shown they can be consistent.
Bad news: they've shown they can be consistent at copy/pasting or creating aggressively mediocre bosses.
EDIT: First post of a new page, yikes.
It's ok, the truth hurts sometimes.

I'm still holding out hope for the Comedy Bundle 2. Or better yet, the Humble Comedy Mobile Bundle.
And all of my hopes and dreams were crushed in an instant.
Will buy for Gold Rush.

Between here, my stream chat, contests I hold, friend gifts, I have given away over 2,000 Steam games.
I have never given away Bad Rats.
That is all.

This is either the best news or the worst news depending on who you ask.
It's never too late to start
I left you something on Steam chat. You might wanna get out of "snooze" for a second.
for such a thing to be possible.

Congrats on your birthday, you should probably make a giveaway and then enter and win it yourself (your username makes me think of you like an older version of subzero).
What if your wife wrote the steam wallet code with icing on the cake and destroyed the original?
This thread also needs more pictures of cakes (steam related of course).

The borst.
On mobile GAF this message posted three times in a row for me.
Hopping to Mobile GAF!
It takes restraint.
Fighting games really need to do story modes like Injustice and MK9. They don't try to cater to every character, and they offer a solid canon without having to wonder about what's going to happen to who for their sequels.
Like MKX not having a majority of the classics coming back because they all got killed.

Buying it just for Gold Rush. One of the few Sierra games I never played back in the day. They priced to high on Steam when it launched last month. It's $6 now.

Agreed. Capcom would get a lot more money out of the casual market if they did this.
Yeah. I've sunk in a few good hours into it. I love the music and atmosphere of it all.

Uninstalling games via steam is kind of annoying. Went into list view so I can sort by size on disk and when I click install on a game it instantly completes. The problem with this is that it moves to the game I was uninstalling to the bottom of the list instead of moving the selection down to the next installed game. Have to then scroll back up which is frustrating when you have as many games as I do.

I wish I could afford to give away a bunch of games
However! In honour of your generosity, and to plug your contest, what I will propose is this: If the RPGMaker Contest thread gets ten reviews in the next two days from people who hadn't previously reviewed, (and if a new poster there gives more than one review it counts) I'll do a giveaway of some kind. Something that won't get flagged with a poop icon.
Ball's in your court, steamGAF.

Only show installed + beat/delete lifestyle avoids this issue. There is no scrolling.
Honestly, I would be down for this (the story modes were the only thing I liked about Injustice and MK9, though I'm not a big fan of the gameplay)
Ya I know I just think it looks cool
Probably just nostalgia from playing king's quest when I was a kid where I would wander around aimlessly not knowing what to doYou're joking right? The Undernet wasn't that bad....and i'm pretty sure that place is optional. The Battle Network series is so good.
also i didn't realize Dead Rising 3 was coming out so soon. I hope i can get back on my computer in time to preload it...

August was a good month for my backlog.
Here are 1-3ish sentence reviews (that nobody will read) of my completed games for August:
Whispering Willows:
Your character's walkspeed is mildly annoying. The devs patched in a run button but it only works outdoors. A flawed but enjoyable experience- get it in a bundle.
Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons:
This game is short but visually and emotionally stunning. My controller's batteries died about 80% into the game and while it's possibly to play the game with a keyboard it's very uncomfortable.
Goat Simulator:
About 3 hours of enjoyment the rest of the time is spent cursing flappy bird and getting the achievements you missed while you were enjoying the game.
Transistor:
A somewhat short but gorgeous game with a great soundtrack. The only rpgs I play involve Pokemon and Mario so the combat was the greatest part for me. After completing the game I went immediately to New Game+.
The Walking Dead S2:
I didn't really care for any of the new characters. Game is still filled morally ambiguous choice and explores humans as a threat rather than the walkers. Game is missing the exploring puzzle solving aspect from S1.
Killer Is Dead:
As a plot enthusiast this game is my type of game. A++++ would buy more Suda games on Steam.
Nihilumbra:
The Void is hard. As a puzzle-platformer it doesn't do anything amazing but it has a great atmosphere. Get it on sale or in a bundle.
Castlestorm:
Do you like tower defense games or was your favorite part about construction toys as a kid destroying your creations? Then this game is for you.

How do you only show installed? Clicking on installed games puts them in order but still has all of your games below them. At least in list view which you need to be in to sort by size.
Edit: Nevermind, switched back and forth and finally they disappeared. Weird!
If you switch the view to installed only, some of the time it will stay where you were after it is uninstalled. Doesn't seem to be consistent though.

Hope you can stay and everything works out and you feel better soon.

You mean the ones PriitV posted some time ago? I asked him to post them so others can use them too but I never got a reply. Where do you get them? I'd love to use them as well. They look really nice.

That game looks really like a good entry point into Japanese VN and Jawmuncherc also recommended it, so I am sure it's fun. Now to wait for a good sale.

I only played the demo when the game was still new and boy did they nail satisfying gunplay. Just brutally spectacular. But since Max Payne I always wondered how player-triggered bullet-time would have to designed to be workable in multipayer? I read Max Payne 3 did it but I don't know how that can work actually.
Well, from the images on the page I see they went to FEAR 1 style which I find is the best among the trilogy. Curious how it'll unfold.

Ah snap. You know what that means. Another classic lashman stream incoming

Dang that's a lot of stuff. Are you part of the 52 club? Regardless I read them all. Glad you liked Kilker is Dead. Wonder if we can bother deep silver to try and get Shadows of the Damned on steam.August was a good month for my backlog.

Happy birthday man! Your mouse (and hand) is huge! You know what they say about men with big hands.... th-they be saying, damn, you got big hands.
My hands really aren't that big..
More like average.
It's just that instead of offering one solid story they try to thin things out by giving everyone a watered down story to please all the players and end up with a crap product in the end. I like that NetherRealm's story mode forces you to play with some characters that you would never play as. They're also not afraid to put the "nail in the coffin" to some story arcs.
I really blame the fans for it. No matter what, they want EVERY character form past games to show up in sequels. Which leads to quantity over quality. Even if fighting games are introduced with new graphical assets and character models being built from the ground up, you still have fans that shit on fighting games for not having 30 or 40 people right off the bat.
That's why I'm so happy with Xrd. I feel like it's going to be a great product with a unbloated, solid line up and hopefully a great story mode to boot. Then you'll probably get expansions for more characters an what not later. Sort of how SFIV went all the way to USFIV (with 25 to 44 characters), but hopefully not over charging people along the way.
Yeah, if you see my little mini reviews in the "52 games in a year challenge" thread, you see me bring up the animations for those two games. They are very off putting to me and MK having a block button kills me. Wiht that said, MKX's looks to animate a whole hell of a lot better than any other MK game. It looks like some people got fired or something. The attacks, jumps, and combo flow are soooo much smoother.

The wondrous thing is that they can still have whoever they want (if they wanted) come back and just not feature them in story mode at all. But I do agree with you.
I've been way hooked on Injustice.

Just bought the first Hexcells. Took me about five seconds to be addicted. Great music too. Definitely worth a dollar.
No, I'm not joking. I just have a low tolerance for annoying and not very creative dungeon designs. It's also not optional. Keep in mind this is after a really dull series of fetch quests - putting out fires all over the internet (that consume your water chips!). After putting out all the fires, I had no desire to try and find my way through a shitty maze, and just stopped playing.
Too bad, really, because I was enjoying myself up until then.

I agree the fact that you sample everyone In the story modes is a nice touch. It can't be that hard to do a story and they wouldn't have to make every character playable in it. Poisons arcade mode is her fighting in a tournament to make a band. Yeah capcom needs to do better than that.
With that said I can understand why fans want their character back. Its unfair in a sense to see your main get cut. Though I do agree its a necessary evil. You can't introduce new characters and make things interesting if you're always keeping the same people.
Less definitely can be more and I'm excited to see how Xrd turns out.

No 52 club for me I just had a lot of free time in August. However, now I'm burned out on games and I just find myself staring at my library wanting to play a game but not being in the mood.
Exactly. They could have arcade mode for CPU challenges and whatnot for non canon characters. I've never been one for story's in fighting games, but MK and Injustice did such a good job that I WANT fighting games to have comprehensible stories now.

Were all guilty of that.
I'll even have ample gaming time and just waste it away on youtube and GAF.
Yakuza too though okay?
