gonna bump this once to ask again, the decision is agonizing...
so far 1 vote to dump la mulana, and another to dump sine mora
(and since I'm posting again I'll ask if the house of dead ninja dlc is even worth it)
thanks

Could I get an invite to GAFgroup? http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198002236299
Also, whats the deal with Bad Rats?

I would add that for anyone interested in purchasing the witcher 3, you'll get 3 bucks off for having the witcher 2 and another 3 for the witcher 1, with the first game being at 2 bucks right now, you save a dollar off of TW3 by purchasing TW1
I was thinking about it too but talked my self out of it.
It's developed by one guy. That's impressive but also means updates will (likely) be slow.
The game also seems like the type of game that will get very boring after a few hours.
That's just me though.
Oh and Vampire Masquerade is pretty cool.

Ok, this year' haul. i didn't have as much money this time around for various reasons, but i still had $50. I augmented that with idling and cards (spent 9.27 making badges, but made 33.99 from card sales). Finished up with .44 in steam bucks, and won an M&M $6 card.
Also won copies of Divinity Original Sin, and Valiant Hearts (thanks again Ryne and Sub Zero). and bought several of the bundles so more cheap games, yay.
Finally, had kickstartered Shovel Knight so that's waiting to be played, and another kickstarter, Quest For Infamy was delayed till after the sales so that GoG could devote a page to it, and it not get buried by sales stuff.
Really happy about Valiant Hearts, Original Sin,Rocksmith, Astebreed, Banished and Dishonored...and I'm rather looking forward to Marlow Briggs.
Go Pink!

Bad Rats is the greatest game you've never played and the only way to be truly accepted into SteamGaf is to be bestowed this gracious gift!

Real bummer about Pac-Man Museum not winning its vote or ever being featured. Was hoping to get all of it for under $7.50 =/
Yeah, I was hoping that would show up again. Curse the voters.
Absolutely. It's a phenomoneal game with an amazing art style.
Combat is a turn based strategy RPG with a neat twist--enemies strength and their HP are tied together really causing you to rethink the mindless "kill the weak guys off first strategy."
The story is very Taletell esque with branding paths and characters that live or die depending on choices you make in the dialogue sequences.
Then there is also a cool Orgeon Trail aspect about managing supplies as you journey down the road.
It all amounts to a fantastic game that is unique but not overwhelming. It's a bleak world withi hard choices but a fantastic game with a beautiful aesthetic.

Do it
I think, for extra effectiveness, it needs to be emphasized that this is only the very first level of the game. It may be flawed in terms of the total length leading to some areas lacking polish, and an unpleasing visual fidelity, but overall it's a very unique game in the genre, full of escalating encounters, challenging and interesting bosses that effectively test a variety of skills in an engaging manner, and a fantastic soundtrack. The sparsity of contents may be an issue (be it in terms of the enemy variety, levels, alternative playstyles, or in other forms), but at the price it's going for this should not put you off. If you're on the fence, make sure it ends up in your library, it has to be that way.
EDIT: I see this being in the opening has been mentioned while I was typing. Oh and yes, I need to include the gifs in the quote as anybody leaning towards it must be convinced.
I know that feel. I once punched my cat in the face while I was playing with her. I was on my bed letting her play with my hand (putting my hand over the edge and quickly pulling it) and she suddenly jumped when I was quickly putting my hand over the edge of the bed and got a punch on her face. I felt so bad I never tried that again

Sell them or give them away.
Buy remaining ones from the market and craft the badge?
I'll get back to you about this, because I'd like to start playing it, but today is probably a non-starter

Hammering dat f5 key or using the chrome extensions to refresh I would assume.

From my perspective, it was a bad idea for Valve to give discount control to the developers. All are extremely proud of their work, even if the titles in question are quite old.

My eye is twitching something fierce and I'm breaking out in hives.
I think I'll go eat something for a bit and hope it blows over by then =p
Can someone hug me? This sadness I feel for Mexico losing in such a despicable way is getting to me...
No Ikaruga, no Double Dragon Neon, no SFxT.... does anyone want my Summer Adventure cards? Two 2's, two 4's, one 7, and two 8's. I don't want to bother with this sale anymore...

Ah sorry, missed that. I highly vote for Super House Of Dead Ninjas and have written about how I love it so (my favourite game on Steam) quite a few times in past Steam threads. Though to keep it simple here is just a basic review on Steam itself I did.
So I vote for you getting that, and everyone getting that. However I'll be doing a giveaway for a few copies soon in this thread if you can wait just a bit and then three hours.

As for the DLC, I can only say it is worth it if one actually wants more difficulty from the game as it features a character that has less abilities, a harder difficulty mode, boss rush, and more achievements to aim for. All things I am quite happy for even as I struggle for the Speed Run, but nothing that changes the game or adds much more. So I say nay to that, or at least wait until the next sale when it will be discounted again, after you have grown use to the challenge and fun of the main game.
