Anyone have a random game they want to give away? Send it to me!
Hell yeah!
I wish that was to me, that game looks great and I've been eyeing it before!
lol have any of you read the system requirements for the Dungeons of Dremor: You Have To Name The Expansion Pack?

I really laughed out loud xD
Also, I haven't played Dungeon's of Dredmor, but I own it. The paid expansion pack is $1.19 and I want to buy it lol. Should I? Is it worth it for those of you who have played it?

Okay, thanks!
Are all devs just listing quad cores as recommended by default now? I noticed that Legend of Grimrock supposedly requires one as well.

It's very luck based like that. Sometimes you'll find an amazing shotgun and a can of beans, other times not so much.
Btw, number one rule of DayZ: Don't get attached to your gear!

How are the servers holding up? I'd imagine today would've been a nightmare to log-in.

I'm tempted by Arma II CO;I reeeeeaaally want to DayZ, but I'm super-broke ATM and can't afford it, especially considering it's a mod that's kinda funky. The lag may be an issue as well, as I live in the middle of Canada and my connection to other players is not always fantastic. And I've already over-spent on this sale...
...but it looks so cooooool

It's good @ Vita but it's Ubisoft so I'd stay as far as I could from the PC version.

Does this happen with Valve games as well? If it only happens with games not made by Valve then you know it was the publishers that pressured Valve to do it.
Rayman PC is DRM free.

Well steam sales are a great time to join pc gaming, I joined at Christmas and have so many games already.
I also love that of all the friends I now have only one is playing a game, sums up steam pretty well
Okay so I've been trying to write some sort of recommendation for Analogue:A Hate Story or at least one of the other Christine Love games, but it's difficult because I only ever played one of the games.
But I'll still try to get a few people to at least check out the first two free games she released, because everybody likes free stuff!
Digital: A Love Story (for 0 moneys here) is pretty much a text only affair and clocks in at about an hour long. It's a "computer mystery/romance" which has you scouring the BBSes of the world in pursuit of who might be the girl of your dreams.
That's the one I played and liked quite a bunch. Kieron Gillen on RPS had the following to say:
Dont Take It Personally, Babe, It Just Aint Your Story (here for the price of only your time) is edging closer to the classical VN, in fact it's pretty much one of them with a japanese style look and dialog boxes.
Not having played it yet, I can only let RPS speak for me again, this time Alec Meer
And finally the steamy Analogue: A Hate Story. Directly from its page:
You can find NeoGAFs slightly underpopulated OT here. There is also a demo available either on Steam or from it's homepage here. One last time RPS's Alec Meer shall have the word:
If you are put off by the visual style, or simply want to have a little laugh, also check out this little fun RPS put up for the game: This assumes you say you don't want to play with that artstyle
That took longer and became more of a wall of text than I wanted, so~rry ♥

Digital and Babe are excellent. I planned on getting Analogue by the end of the sale.

Very good. It looks and plays fantastic. $14.99 is a bit steep in my opinion though. It has some really fun levels and if I had to choose between it and NSMB I would choose Rayman.
Driver SF is a fantastic driving game with the best car feel I've ever experienced, wrapped in a fun story with some pretty awesome special abilities. It's just a really fun game that should have gotten much more attention.

Hey sorry to hear about the account lock, it's a pretty shitty thing for steam to start doing in cases which you could hardly call 'high volume trading for profit' (especially in I H8 memes case who has also been at a loss at times)... come on valve take a look at why this is occuring instead of simply taking punitive measures and painting yourself as the bad guy let's find a solution that makes everyone happy (like creating an age check for adults to get uncensored versions, and fighting a bit harder to get more equal regional pricing).
Edit:
For anyone wanting some more steam friends of the Aussie variety feel free to add MrTeachwell. I just saw someone's post about how cool it is to have personal reviews on games and think that along with having more friends in games to play with would be awesome.

How is Magicka? I love action RPGs.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of recommendations for it. Driver will probably be the last "major" thing I buy from this sale. Probably going to pull the trigger on it, but I'm trying to recall any other recent must-haves that have been mentioned. I picked up Deus Ex, Shogun 2, etc. during the winter sale. I don't think I'm hardcore enough for DayZ, lol.
Here's what I've picked up from this sale so far:
- Ys Origin
- Rayman Origins
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Walking Dead
- Magicka DLC
- Binding of Isaac DLC
- Legend of Grimrock
I bought CKII from Amazon right before the sale started.
So, GAF, am I missing anything critical or should I just go with Driver?

Downloading Don't Take It Personally right now, seems more like my type of game (though a friend from school did get Analogue for me)

Was Alpha Protocol on flash sale / daily deal at all? One of the games I was interested in that hasn't shown up.
I played digtal (really liked it) and don't take it personally(less so)... is analogue worth picking up? How does it compare?

I'd like to recomend Legend of Fae. It's just $2.50 and it's a really good RPG-Puzzle combination.

Would I be able to pay directly with the voucher? I wouldn't mind helping you out.
Thats sounds good enough for 5 bucks. Thanks!
It's $7.50, unless I'm missing something.
Completely agree, except for one of the weapon challenges. I got it on 360 about a year ago, and the hammer challenge was apparently bugged because I never got credit for winning despite beating it 3 times. Maybe that's been patched by now.

Same story here. The only POP games missing from my collection were Prince of Persia and Forgotten Sands. I had both in my cart, but decided to do a quick DRM check before buying and once I did Forgotten Sands was gone from my cart. What a shame as I really wanted this game.
In Germany its 4.99 EUR or 8.74 EUR for the Deluxe Edition.
Not a big spoiler, I hope (frome the Giant Bomb quick look):
I think you can jump in every car and become the driver at any point and hear some hilarious conversations or something along those lines.
Multiplayer is great, except it's currently broken. The story is pretty funny. There's also plenty of crazy car crashes.

I believe only the physical version is completely DRM free. The Steam version uses Steam DRM (obviously), while digital versions from Amazon, Impulse, etc. all use Tages-SolidShield for a single online activation after installing.
