The area that we just bought our house at is eligible for some of dat good internet. Crazy seeing 5GB being downloaded in 1:30 on STEAM. I literally could not get on GAF and make this post before Helldivers finished downloading.

So I was pretty busy over the weekend, but bought some games and started playing a few of them:

Epistory: Typing Chronicles
Played the demo after seeing the game on sale and the demo sold me after like 2 minutes. Beautiful paperwork style graphics, nice voice-over narration, talents to level up, elements to choose from, and entire game (even the menu) can be controlled via typing which is neat. It doesn't seem to be a "teach you to type" so much as a "you HAVE to type well" game. I bought it and started playing it and got it in the monthly bundle the next day, but I would have been happy with it as a $9 purchase even so. If you're a wannabe rapper, you also get to literally spit fire with your words, so there's also that.

Hue
Limbo with colors and more puzzles. Again, nice voice-over narration via letters, atmosphere of the different areas so far is distinct and well done. Some of the puzzles have been head scratchers even early on but almost everything feels fair and not too hard. Only complaint I have is some of the rooms can be large or complicated and there's no midway checkpoints so if you screw up near the end you have to go through the motions again, even though you already know how.

Paint it Back
It's pretty much exactly what it looks like. I've never played Picross but I played something similar on my phone last year, I like this better because of the much larger screen. Also fun to play with my stylus on my 2-in-1 :p

I also picked up, but didn't play yet, Tahira and Seasons After Fall.
 
World of Tanks X Valkyria Chronicles.

Not enough CYKA BLYAT despite 95% of both games fandoms being Russians. 0/10.

So I shall compensate with this.

I went three links deep on this and still have no idea what it's talking about.

Yes, I get that it's about getting more games on Steam. I hadn't heard of Retro emulation masters M2, M2 Shot triggers, Dangun Feveron, Battle Garegga, or M2 STG. It's all a little obtuse is it not?

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. From now until September the 30th, the developer of the free Windowed Borderless Gaming is donating all contributions sent to him to the "Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance" in honor of Peggy J. Hansen instead. (Donation Linky)

(Not used the software before, though I have it downloaded. Figured if anyone is reading this who does use it, might be good to donate now. :) )
 
Borderlands 2 and Pre-Seq for less than $5 (adaptive bundle for B1 owners)! Probably cheaper to just buy B2 GOTY for all the DLC and skip the Pre.

is this darkspore expansion pack not on steam?

also wtf @ the borderlands triple pack not including any dlc for borderlands 2.
 
No I mean, if I buy B2 vanilla for 1.72€, how much do I need to pay for the DLCs?

I might be mistaken, but I think my response does answer your question. The season pass for $10 plus whatever else isn't in that. I can't tell if there is further discount if you own B2 vanilla. The DLC setup for B2 is quite a mess.
