Paranoia Agent

It's so good.

Something that cute came from an anime with a creepy opening?

Some spares:

Thank you for the giveaway. I missed Ittle Dew when it was on Humble Bundle. :/

It seems like it, it would be highly coincidental that pink, who hasn't won yet, is way out front in the lead, if it's blue the next day, then yeah, nearly all but certain it's rigged.

Also (it may have already been mentioned in the other thread or even this one, can't be bothered to read through it all) but has anyone noticed that sometimes the points count backwards? As far as I'm aware, there is no legitimate way of losing points is there?

There are tokens to steal points. You can get them from crafting the summer sale badge.

There are ways to steal points from other teams.

Yes. That's how I would describe Paranoia Agent, actually.

Cute.

Don't listen to the others, they lie.

From a disturbing show in general.

that's more creepy than cute, trust me. the anime is also creepy in some ways, not a bad show if you're into mindfuck stuff.

 

[mfaex]

Cute.

Fair enough, still think the values don't correspond to actual points that people are earning and are just random, well rigged random.

 

[MisterLuffy]

it's fantastic! Made by a Gaffer too.

Wow. I didn't know that. I need to start playing that game.

Paranoia Agent is anything except cute.

It's fucking brilliant tho, so you should watch it. Only 13 episodes long.

Praying for Divinity II. I always miss out on that one (((

 

[TsuXna]

So no one knows where to get MW3 for the cheap?

Short hair Bayo>>>>>>>>Long hair Bayo

Sorry, agree to disagree, I suppose.

I'm not a fan of short hair on women.

Indeed. GGT is a wasteland.

Sale has been a slow burn for me before today.

Agreed.
When Hank, Uraizen, and Josh dropped off the face of the earth, the general tone changed so much I just didn't have much to say anymore and moved over to GAF as my main source of discussion.

The sale -- it was better before VALVE screwed my market privileges up. However, most of the days have had at least 1 decent deal that got my attention. Yesterday was the exception so far.

Reddit ruining all my purple domination plans!

 

[zkylon]

Heh. Well for those that haven't seen it -

<3

omg, what is this?

if it's of any interest to you, paranoia agent is my favorite anime

it's amazing, everyone should watch it, it's a very hard show to describe because how different it is from episode to episode but it's by far one of the most human anime i've ever watched even by satoshi kon standards, and it's very gripping and emotional and moving and inspiring

like it's one of those things that get me all teary just thinking about em

it's not on crunchyroll in argieland but u know, go fucking find it somehow

 

[freshVeggie]

Quick question.
Borderlands 2 has some weird sale bundles.

Do I understand right that the second bundle contains 2x the base game Borderlands 2 with 1x all the DLC?

That way the upper one would be a totally needless deal.
In the lower bundle base Borderlands 2 would be only 75cent.

I gotta have read sth. wrong.

waiting for sega games...

Doesn't the second bundle contain both games? BL 1 & 2?

 

[Emperor_EL]

Transistor is the last game on my wishlist that I REALLY want, everything else is just "sorta wants". I just need something to hold me over til Sweet Lady Bayo comes back.

The second is Borderlands with all the DLC and base Borderlands 2.

 

[Kusagari]

The fact that the other 4 teams have been relatively close these past two days while one is way out in front is more suspicious to me then anything.

No the first one contains the base Borderlands 2 plus all the DLC for that game.
The second one contains only the base Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 1 with all the DLC for that game.

You see, I love short hair on women...but not Bayonetta.

 

[tioslash]

Waiting on a Transistor sale aswell.

 

[Kanokare]

It's that the hard core farmers are probably holding back until their scheduled day in my opinion.

Lower bundle is the original borderlands GOTY with borderlands 2 without the dlc for borderlands 2

Good Lord, what a blunder. I read it so many times and it was all mixed up in my head.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Paranoia Agent is indeed a masterpiece, and the op and ed are easily some of the best in the business, pure haunting goodness. So good. Satoshi Kon is gdlk

But yeah, it's disappointing to see the rigged-ness of the summer adventure, how can you have hype if you know that it's not up to our teamwork and skills?!

-KoF better get it's sale after the Fighting community choice failed.

 

[Lonestar]

The fact that the other 4 teams have been relatively close these past two days while one is way out in front is more suspicious to me then anything.

pretty much, though today is the first day I've contributed "points" to the Pink team (a whopping 12!)

All of it's on Youtube, luckily. Well, at least the dub is, not sure about the sub.

Maromi, from Paranoia Agent.

thanks

Good Lord, what a blunder. I read it so many times and it was all miced up in my head.

I can see that happening. We read so many titles with and without numbers during these sales and we're just humans.


For now.

 

[wetflame]

Bedtime for us GMT folk soon. Always a shame to miss the start of a new flash deal/vote. At least I'm getting up early for work tomorrow so won't miss the end of it.

Got it, thank you!

Ugh I need to preserve my wallet but TWAU just went daily @_@

 

[Shorty11857]

Really hope Shadowrun goes back on sale, playing through the game now and I love it, really want the dlc now

 

[Videospel]

Shadowrun Returns looks like a good choice, but I will wait for a Daily to see if it gets on there.

It's already been on the community's choice. -75% on the main game and -50% on the Dragonfall DLC, if I remember correctly. Hopefully you'll get a second chance because the game seems really fun and the DLC apparently is even better.

Something that cute came from an anime with a creepy opening?

A lot of people already explained, but it is creepy. Or rather, very mysterious. They showed it on TV here on summer nights a couple of years ago, which really set the mood. I recommend it.

 

[kiri]

Goddamn Japan, I can't get Metal Gear Rising nor South Park because I live here :/

 

[TsuXna]

Got it, thank you!

Orz that was quick.

 

[zkylon]

All of it's on Youtube, luckily. Well, at least the dub is, not sure about the sub.

yea dub might be decent but i wouldn't risk it really

also basic jist of paranoia agent is people with shitty stressful japanese lives get hit in the head by a bat-wielding demon kid at the peak of their pain and fall into a coma as result. so like it starts out as two detectives looking into that but the series just goes into weird places as it moves on and it's a-fucking-mazing

Having watched Paprika, I was half-expecting to hear Susumu Hirasawa after seeing that .gif...and then there he is.
