Anyone else notice Skyrim fly up the top seller chart just by being in the community vote. Folks are insane and buying it pre discount.

I'm not a fan of the laser gun gunplay and the dark environments, uninstalled after 15 minutes.

Probably the same people who will vote against it in the Community Choice...

oohhh ok, I see, I did a search on the steam forums and I got this picture.
Controller support is important to me as I just recently became a PC play a few weeks ago so I'm still trying to figure some of this stuff out. I've played some games that are straight PC titles with controller support but they are TERRIBLE with a controller, like the game E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy and ORION: Dino Horde.
I will need to find some alternative for the keyboard before I go back to playing those games. I can't do the whole keyboard thing with gaming. The mouse is fine though.
I think the goal is to make all the areas in the game your color.
When I play games like that I usually just mess around, and I don't get very far. World War? let's do it!
Maybe when it's part of a bundle. It looks like the kind of game that's funny for about 5 minutes, like Surgeon Simulator.

Question about giveaways. If I win one while I'm gone and don't get back on until tomorrow morning (East coast USA) do I lose that game? Basically, is there a time limit to claim a game you win?
I actually find the EU series a lot easier than CK2. I've had that game for months and still have no idea how to play it.
I just load up, marry someone, wait for a kid to pop out, get him/her married off, then attack someone out of boredom and get my ass handed to me.
Not really. You are sent a PM with the link or code to redeem.

Could someone kindly link me to a FF8 mod that speeds up combat.

Humble Let's Play Fodder Bundle. I'm sad to say I'd probably buy that. And not Let's Play any of them.
Thank you.
Goats.
Didn't they patch in function key cheats and hacks?
Left over card money like mine being used. I'm really trying to not buy it myself.

For my first steam sale, i'm finding this shit to be beyond crazy. These low ball ass prices........cant even find prices like these at amazon. I bought 8 games thus far, havent even spend over $20 yet.......................WUT!?
I can't even get over how crazy that shit sounds, was talking to a friend of mines about this...........blew her fucking mind as she's a console gamer.
As a former console gamer, that shit is CRAZY alien to me, so used to paying 30-40 bucks for a game and even 20 and being like, aaawww HELL YEA!! I GOT A GOOD DEAL...........bitch please.......these sales..............madness i tell ya, MADNESS!!!

Have you ever made physical contact with a Goat? It's unlike contact with any other animal.
A Goat will lick your hand forever, so long as you hold it up to the Goat's mouth.
And then one day Valve will decide to shut Steam down, and we'll all be left holding our dongs in our hands.
Be glad they don't do publisher packs any more.
It used to be "Oh, these games. And these. Hey, I like this publisher, lemme add those." *200 games and 130$ later* "Huh."

Is the SR4 DLC any good? Thinking of getting the season pass.
Well, I couldn't sleep so I decided to write my thoughts (probably with a very poor english vocabulary) about Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Since it's a fairly new game I didn't want to post my impressions in here since the thread moves too fast and some may want to know nothing at all about the game. I was going to wait until we get back to our "normal" Steam thread but I decided to do it now and maybe discussing the game later on.
Here it is, on the Steam Reviews Page if anyone is curious about my thoughts or in case some of you are considering to pick this up in the future.

ah those were the days...

I think it's a great thing, I've given a lot more games a chance due to the lower price of entry, in the past I'd buy a $50 game every month and a half and play a lot less.

My favorite RTS of all time, is C&C RA2 / Yuri's Revenge, so would Supreme Commander be something I should look into getting?
Red Alert 2 and AOE II are my all time favorites. I loved SupCom. There is more resource management and the pace is a little slower in SupCom, but holy hell the end game. Gets really epic really fast.

Shovel Knight is up to 7 hours if you do everything. It's also very replayable. Valiant Hearts is shorter and not as replayable.
The decision rests on which game you think would be more fun. They're very different.

Finally, Blood Dragon will be mine. And there's no hope of RTS winning the vote is there? Not against Skyrim. That game alone is going to carry the vote, not to mention Sleepy Dawgs and KoA in there too.
I know......it's......crazy right?......

Yeah you want the last option to store in your inventory for later.
Thanks. I think I decided I'm gonna pull the trigger on Shovel Knight. Earlier when people realized they missed a couple of the giveaways they practically had a heart attack. I'm thinking that's the one to play first.
Appreciate your input.
Another one sees the light.
