When I check the DLC tab for Watch Dogs in the library I have Bad Blood, the T-Bone campaign added to my list but not installed so this is more than likely it. I thought it was launching on the 30th and a week early for Playstation folk but looking at the community hub sounds like some are playing it already. When it's done downloading I'll let you guys and gals know (not that too many care about Watch a Dogs now).

I never cared about watch dogs but I care about you <3 I look forward to reading your impression

Yeah. I really hope so.

Btw. is it possible that eroge-downloads are possible on Steam? It seems Sunrider 2 offers the game on Steam as an all-age version, but will release an uncut-patch for the Steam-Version on their website.

Valve recently added a pornography category to the app reporting form, so I doubt it.

3 choices so far in Pyrite Heart.
The plot is pretty stock shoujo, but I have to say, I'm kinda liking it.
Yes, the prose is purple and not always grammatically correct, but it's lightyears ahead of Sakura Spirit.

Man, I completely forgot that I "pre-ordered" that Groupees bundle. Oh well, at least Not the Robots looks kind of good.

All of this DR3 talk makes me desperately want DR1 on Steam.

That game was just pure fun. I can see how it would be polarizing due to the way it is set up. In a way, the game is designed so you lose and start over.
Click to expand...

And that's what makes it brilliant. But the mollycoddled checkpoint generation can't be by the fact that there's no easy way to save or that dying means starting over.
At least DR2 is getting steamworks. That's close enough for me at this point. I always liked Chuck (and the whole infected daughter motivation/mechanic) better than Frank anyway.

Whats an add-reporting form?
You can report apps for dubious content?

I just mean, if they release the all-ages version on Steam, then offer an uncut-patch (that might have all the uncut-content) on their website, it wouldnt be Valves problem, would it?
I mean I could mod L4D to have naked girls in this, as well as Skyrim and horse-anuses...

I have not actually paid attention to playfire rewards, so I've only earned a couple dollars.

Does anyone know, If I want to earn a first-play credit, how long I have to launch the game?

It is out yeah, cos I noticed it earlier in the week when I launched Watchdogs to test out my 970. Not sure when it came out, mind you.

Well going by the news section on the library item Thursday. Kept that pretty quiet but it does look for season pass holders only so might explain the lack of any official info.

Yeah, by clicking the little flag button that sits opposite the "Add to cart" box and directly next to the "Share" and "Embed" buttons.

Sure, there's nothing Valve can do about externally-hosted content, however Steam distribution is apparently a no-go.

No, it wouldn't be Valve's problem. That's entirely possible to do and Valve has no reason(or power) to restrict that.

For you.
When the floodgates open it will be simultaneously JaseC best dream and worst nightmare. Just imagine all the games that will be published for a hour at most before being removed for having pornography or other questionable content(by Valve's guidelines) and all the copyright violations that can be possibly done (hi StrategyFirst!). I do wonder if they will keep the files up on their servers on these cases so people who bought it before it was removed can access it.

How often do games get pulled from Steam because they were reported in this manner?

Not many I would say, it's more of a preparation for the floodgate opening more than anything.

So I just fired up a PC with Watch Dogs still installed on it and noticed I got a 3.4gb updat. 'What on earth is this all about?' was the first thought that crossed my mind. Turns out it's the T-Bone DLC that Ubisoft has done an awful job of marketing for anything other than Sony. Oh well time to dive back in I guess.
Click to expand...

I'm looking forward to playing it when it becomes available outside of the season pass. I might hold off until I put my new PC together though.

How many of you leave chat sounds on? I guess I was under the assumption that everyone just turns those off pretty quickly, but I've occasionally heard it in the background of voice chats with friends, and it mildly terrifies me to think about.

Now I want to get a soundboard full of old chat sounds like ICQ's "uh-oh!" and drop them during a multiplayer game with chat just to screw with people.

Some people are just plain crazy though.

Don't know why, but apparently nowadays in Italy everybody uses the (Samsung, I believe) whistle ringtone, and apparently everybody receive receive more than 50 texts per minute.
One of my colleagues once tried using it in the office and I was about to flush his phone down the toilet.
Now, the girl next door started using it and leave her phone near her window, like a couple of meters from my balcony, and I can hear her fucking whistle like it was hardcoded in my brain.
I think if I get to know the guy that invented that ringtone and/or the guy that approved for its inclusion in Samsung phones, I'd probably kill both of them.

Pyrite Heart mini-review

Time to completion of one of the paths: 2 hours (2 obvious paths, possibly more)
Amount of choices: 5 (So at least 5 times more than Sakura Spirit, and assuming the two paths diverge greatly, that's up to 10 times more)
Art: Again very nice, nothing to comment on
Writing: Much, much better than Sakura Spirit. Still some grammatical errors and purple prose, but at least I didn't cringe at every single line.
Also, there was an actual plot this time, which helped a lot, even if it was rather stock shoujo =p


Don't go in expecting the best story ever, but at least it's not a waste of your time, unlike Sakura Spirit.

Oddly enough, a friend of mine uses the old ICQ "uh-oh!" as his ringtone, and he regularly gets a shit ton of text messages. "Uh-oh! Uh-oh! Uh-oh!" -_-; I'd gladly take the Samsung whistle.

That's the deal Activision made with Sony. They do the same with CoD and the XBOX platform. FIFA and Battlefield are promoted using the XBOX platform too. The next-gen version of Diablo III was promoted using the PS4. The list is long and only getting longer every time a new game is announced.

It's probably just me, but it seems like it's more noticeable this console gen than the last.

I'm pleasantly surprised that it actually sounds pretty decent, especially considering that it was originally released before Sakura Spirit. So either Winged Cloud got a new writer that isn't that good or something happened.

You guys should just get a good message ringtone, like mine.

IndieGameStand has Luna: Shattered Hearts 60% off (GL)
It was also in the Groupees BAGB 10

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised as well.
Pyrite Heart writer: KomiTsuku
Sakura Spirit 'writers': Tsuyuri & Silva

(Seriously guys, why is there no credits listing except at the end of your games? =p)
Different writers, and it shows =p
