StragetyFirst bundle, here we go!
See, this is why you shouldn't let derExperte win your giveaways! =p
I like weird games, bite me!
and it shouldn't be first, it just steam doesn't let me reorder it (._.)
My 60 years old mother who watched me play Gauntlet back in the day is clearly sending not so subtle signals of "do want to play".
I'm not sure if I'm ok with that
I think I'm with your mom on this and I'm ok with that (><)
I'd be okay with that. SF has uploaded several games over the past few weeks or so.

Hmm, Steam is recommending I play Bad Rats because I played Surgeon Simulator. Once, for ten mins about 18 months ago...
Steam is obviously now evil.
Steam is obviously now evil.
It is hugely influenced by games you have played recently. I've been playing DR3 lately, and despite it being the one of the only zombie game I have ever played on Steam, I'm getting recommendations for every single zombie game. Blah.
They really need to add more customization to the recommendations, because they are pretty awful so far. And the discovery queue is useless since it's entirely "recommended because this game is popular."

Here is a giveaway for a Mask of The Wyrm Slayer in-game helm for Gauntlet. I got this from the August Loot Crate and don't need it
ModBot said:
No idea. I found out that due to my idling sessions and use of Idle Master, Steam now thinks I've played every piece of junk I own in my account for hours on end. This, in turn, ruined the recommendation algorithm for me, as I have no way of letting it know that those 2 hours were for the sole purpose of getting some of that sweet cards money.

lol at Blackwell BTA
Damn, I need Blackwell 4.
steam's recommendations are garbage
ignore em
i hope jshackles finds a way to just remove that part of the site altogether <3
In for Defenders, SmallWorld and Blackwell. Good bundle to me.
Seriously, though, Thomas again?

"Give Valve a day or two" is the funniest thing I've heard all day. A year or two, maybe.
Thanks!
I'm guessing that the forth one will be added as a bonus, if its also for Android!
The Blackwell games might be my favorite adventure game series!

Which one did you go with?
If Amazon refreshes stock sometime soon, I'm looking at the EVGA Superclocked. I've had pretty good luck and great results with EVGA cards.
So here we go, my impressions on Outland so far.
Game runs very well so far (I would be shocked if it didn't) using GeDoSaTo to downsample from 4K on my i5 4570 / 7870 GHz. Settings are very minimalistic, except for resolution, screen mode and Vsync there are no graphical settings. It supported my Xbox One controller out of the box but you can also play with keyboard if you want to. However, you can't rebind keys and have to choose between two pre-defined control schemes which aren't all too different. What's a bit annoying is that no matter which input method you choose, the game displays prompts for both, KB and controller which can be irritating at times and just looks sloppy in general.
Gameplay-wise the hour I've put into the game turned out to be a quite challenging 2D platformer. You can take three hits at the beginning of the game (but are able to spend coins to upgrade your health at various points) before you respawn at the last checkpoint and can refill your health bar by finding heart-items. Proceeding through the first levels your character will learn how to perform different moves which will enable you to reach previously unattainable locations. I also experienced one level which enabled me to switch between "Balance" and "Chaos" mode - resembled by light blue and deep red - which in return enable you to use platforms and make you invincible to traps and enemies of the same color. Reminded me of Giana Sisters.
Sadly the game clearly shows that it was previously a PS360-console-exclusive. While the overall art and color direction is great, low resolution assets can be spotted easily (especially background textures). Downsampling from 4K helped to gloss over this a bit. Music is not outstanding to me so far but I really enjoy the complete package of Outland up to this point.

Finished Revelations, liked it a ton. It's most likely for you if you enjoy:
- fast shooters
- some amounts of spooky
- scanning in Metroid Prime
- looking for stuff
it's most likely not for you if you dislike:
- wave shooters
- rail shooters
- backtracking
- bullet sponges
I can only remember one safe that I missed (behind a picture) but I think I found all the other secrets (sans all the handprints). Took me 6 hours (according to game, 8 according to Steam) on normal, died 11 times. I thought it was surprisingly hard at times too.
Also stared playing Lovely Planet. It's pretty trippy and I love trick jumping. Aww yiss.

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.
I love how games like Assassin's Creed III don't have any DRM listed the new way, just a note that you have to agree to a random EULA.
It's like moving mountains to get these bigger publishers that use 3rd party DRM to update their information. I hope Valve steps in and either a) does it for them or b) punishes them. Of course, neither will happen.
So... Enhanced Steam.

Is The Bureau worth my time? I'm curious to try it but opinions seem really mixed. Got other stuff in my backlog but I'm wondering if I'll end up enjoying this. I guess I'm curious bcause it's an Xcom game and really loved Enemy Unknown/Within.

replaying vampire the masquerade again
that fucking hotel level, my brain forgot that part of the game on purpose

No, I hate "ha ha so funny" control schemes that are basically just bad =p
The blackwell games are really good tho.
If you loved Enemy Unknown, you will hate The Bureau, or "equal opportunity hiring laws simulator". Your teammates have the collective intelligence of a bit of dust.

It's different to the mainline XCOM/X-COM games, but I'd say it's a lot better than most people say it is.
It's similar to the Brothers in Arms series in gameplay and the story has some good points (thouth it also suffers from awful cliches)
I played through it in 12 hours, which is not bad for a modern shooter.

not a fan of green and blue color tandem, maybe without the gradient would look better.
