I have my first gaming pc coming later this week, and this is my first steam summer sale. Any games I should look out for? Mainly interested in story/exploration/adventure games. Thanks!

They're not the best, but at the price they're at right now Skyrim and Dragon Age are totally worth it (if you haven't already played the console versions, natch).

The Secret World.

That's mean.

Went running earlier - wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. Landed hard with my foot in a pothole in the road and I rolled my ankle. Hurts like a bitch so now I'm walking around the house on crutches. However, it gave me a perfect opportunity to spend my evening gaming...

I finished episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us. Holy goats, this game is awesome. I'm not familiar with the book series(?) at all, but that doesn't really detract from the fact that this game oozes atmosphere. The writing was great, the voice acting is top notch. The_Monk tells me it only gets worse from here, so I'm lowering my expectations of the other episodes quite a lot. Still can't wait to play them though.

Ouch, that must hurt! Try to keep your ankle cooled and elevated, if possible. Hope you'll get better soon!

 

[jshackles]

Ouch! That sucks.
Did you get it looked at?

Nah - I've had worse. It's all purple and stuff, but the swelling went down quite a bit after I put some ice on it for about an hour.

Yeah, unfortunately the subsequent episodes haven't been as good. However, they still have the same great atmosphere and music at least, so they're enjoyable.

I couldn't believe the ending of Ep. 1. I was all like:

Don't be like me and live with the pain too long, or you'll end up like this.

 

[Yakkue]

Yeah, that's the tricky part, I think. The modbot summary for that line should really say "in the last 3 months" if that's how Stump has it configured.

I thought the 3 months rule wasn't implemented yet, but I might be wrong about this.

 

[Anustart]

I just checked my loot with modbot, and apparently this was unclaimed, I have no idea what it is, it's listed as WB Humble Bundle. I THINK it's dlc or something, I also have no clue how to redeem it, it's in some weird format? Anyone remember what was up during that humble bundle that had the warner bros games?

I've missed also a few updates on modbot from what Ive noticed this days. There has been changes since someone was caught reselling games and giving em away elsewhere. Can't remember who it was but I know after that there were some changes on Modbot. Not sure if he was banned for it.

 

[Chance Hale]

Grats PM with your choice when you are ready

Oh wow, I can't believe I won. Thanks so much! Will try to figure it out and get back to you.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I couldn't believe the ending of Ep. 1. I was all like:

Actually, if you haven't read the comics, you might not even be bothered by the other episodes. They're specifically bummers when considering what they do (or don't do) with the established story.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Oh wow, I can't believe I won. Thanks so much! Will try to figure it out and get back to you.

I will create a megagiver only sweepstakes of legend.

That's mean.

No it isn't.

[Myshkin]

Ouch. Couple of years back I sprained my ankle just walking down the steps of my front porch. Never did heal quite right.

I fractured an ankle getting up off the ground.
Don't ever get old!

 

[Tahnit]

If watch dogs goes on sale dont be tempted. the game runs like ass.

Haha, that's no joke. I was at the playground with my son recently and I was trying to show him how to jump off a swing, something I did all the time as a kid. Yeah, I felt that when I hit the ground.

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

Any news of a complete edition for Arkham Origins? It's the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger if they re-release one with all the DLC like Asylum and City.

 

[Volimar]

Don't care, still want it.

 

[Stuggernaut]

Is the current Batman one worth it? I thought I heard it was buggy.

 

[jshackles]

I'm still a young guy that refuses to grow up.

At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

I was browsing game recommended for me and came across a blast from the past.

Loved the Freddi Fish games as a kid. Suprised to see em' on steam.

All of the old Humongous games are on Steam now. It's really great since I'm nostalgic about a few of them.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I've got a 9 and 5 and I take 3s and 4s.

 

[Volimar]

Steam making me try to tell the difference between people on blue team and people on purple team is a real slap in the face. Valve doesn't care about colorblind people.

I didn't know this, Holy shiiiiiiit.

Nostalgia is hitting me so damn hard right now.

There's this for PS3 Denmark
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00KR5YW0C/

No official word yet I haven't heard but for a PC I think <15 dollar for both the game and season pass should be a good price, 10 being the sweet spot for many I'm sure.

Go fish.

Valve only cares about your money

Not really sure what games I am looking for but I hope tomorrow brings some interesting deals.

Stanley Parable is on sale right now. As are both Walking Dead seasons still, I think?

Also, look out for a Kentucky Route Zero deal.

Yeah, I wondered why they didn't make a team yellow or something.

 

[justjim89]

Just bought the Death to Spies bundle at 75% off, I hear it scratches that Hitman itch. Have I chosen wisely?

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

One shot, one kill

Last one for the day from me.
Good luck.

The placement of those balls don't look anatomically correct. I mean, they are like really far apart.

Might as well uninstall

how are you guys managing your indie bundles?
do you have a system/spreadsheet so you know
- What has been used
- What has been given away
- What are your spares?

 

[Kanokare]

I hope Outlast (more specifically its DLC) goes on sale one of these days.

[3phemeral]

I read the reviews on Steam and both negative and positive reviews are hilarious. In short: still can't decide.

If you like games that are self-aware and which make incisive commentary on the subject of your hobby in a funny way, grab it.

Just won another 6$ from that movie thing. Score!

I just use excel spreadsheets for the feel of entering data, and it's mainly for games that aren't Greenlit yet. I sort by:

-Game name
-Site(s) purchased on
-Greenlight status
-Amount purchased
-Bundle(s) bought in
-Keep it or put it in a giveaway

 

[Evo X]

+1 vote for Stanley Parable. Very humorous game.

As soon as I buy a bundle, I register them straight away, steam and desura, and extra's get modbot'ed. I then check the wiki every so often to find added steam keys. I thought about a spreadsheet but got lazy and stopped updating it!

Interesting thing about Desura, the collection page actually tells you where the key came from, Indigala, groupees etc...

Every sale:

Oh sweet NBA2k14 is on sale.

Ok, well this Jazzpunk game seems like it might be cool.

Sleep purchasing is a serious problem, you guys.

For the people who have played the Walking Dead season 2, how much does it take into account your season 1 decisions? I played the first one on the PS3, and I'm not going back there for season 2.
