Hells Horses. Was System Shock 2 also the first game with mantling? I forgot it had it. I start up the game and of course the first thing I do is turn around and jump over the railing onto the tracks. Figure I'm stuck down there and I was ok with that. But then I thought I remember that if you could jump close enough to the top of something you could mantle over it. Sure enough I was able to stand directly on the track to get slightly higher and I was high enough to get the character to mantle back over the railing. So much innovation in this game.

Pretty sure Call of Duty: Ghosts is the first game to let you do that

Thief: The Dark Project had it back in '98.

Same engine if I'm not mistaken.

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.
Morning all!

What did I miss in the last 8 hours?
 
Well, it finally happened.

Now to see if I can get ~50 cents for this thing.

How long is SS2? Is it linear or is it Metroid-esque, where you explore and unlock new areas? Is it actually still scary/tense?

I'm so on the fence about this game. If I get it, I want to get it now, when it's cheap, but I also want to save for other games that will be Dailies or Flashes. I may not always like older games but I can appreciate a well made expwerience with quality gameplay and narrative.

What should I do?

What's the consensus on the next community choice? I already own them all.

It really is part of their joke regarding the budget software lol

I wonder how full Modbot's inbox is.

If you really take your time with it, I'd say ~15 hours, maybe up to 18 on the first playthrough.
 
Unlucky with the foil. But then again not many foils are over 1€ nowadays.

the bioshock background is though, which I got from the first crafting. But I don't want to sell it, because I actually DO think it's neat. :(

most other backgrounds (god forbid emoticons) are worthless though. Literally. Except for Endless Space's Spaceduck, apparently.
