Yeah, it's difficult to play games when you're occupied with buying them :(

What is this, the Rat police?



YOU CANT TALK THE WHOLE DAY
believe me, you won't.

Hey guys, did you hear about that awesome game called Metal Gear Rising? Would be such a shame to not experience it.
 
Question about Civ 5, I only bought the base game when it was a daily the other day; should I pick up the DLC too? Or will the base game be enough for me to enjoy my first experience with a Civ game?

Brave New World is worth it, but if it's your first time with any Civ there is enough in the base game for you to sink your teeth into

Now to go play some of the games heh

Thank you! Definitely worth the weight

Great, great giveaway! :D

Thanks everyone! Didn't think people would find it that good.

People complaining about the sales need to get into the key market, makes up for it :p

Also, Dot the new Aguirre? lol

That name sounds familiar.

Dot, Tomb Raider wasn't even in your sell.

I'm going back to sleep or staying up I don't know right now.

D: I had to pick only 2 $5 games...I thought you already had it?

Any of the DLC for Civilization V worth the money? Won a copy from a giveaway earlier (thanks again Instro!) And was wondering if the DLC was worth it enough and changes the game or adds a good amount of content. I'm down to probably get 1 DLC now and another at a later time during another sale or something.

All of them are good changes. I would recomend brave new world first if you dont have special place for religions in your heart.

I don't know why, but this artwork pushed me over the edge to get Abyss Odyssey:

I reaalllly want that for some reason. I think it's because it reminds me of Dragon's Crown. I'll see as the release comes closer next month.

I'm not banned yet! I've made $3 from selling trading cards since my last post, and there's still more to come. Probably peanuts to the TF2 people but it can take a chunk off Metal Gear.

Nice! Game is really good from what I've played. A better DMC with over the top action. And dat music track.

I suddenly got an urge to play something like Freelancer, where you travel around more or less freely, doing missions, buying/selling stuff and getting upgrades. Doesn't have to be in space, but preferably on sale. Any recommendations?
Also, does this genre have a name?

Screw it, one more just for fun.. this finishes up the last of my 'free' money from selling my earbuds and bill's hat earlier in the week to fund my sale purchases...

The following is one of these games.. it is a mystery to all but me and modbot as to which it actually is:

Tomb Raider
The Stanley Parable
Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition
Bioshock Infinite

Reminds me of Cadash -- I wasn't interested until the video started showing the monk (I think)... then it was added to my wishlist pretty hard. Unsure whether or not I'm going to bite now or wait a little bit for the game to release and get impressions.

I really want Shovel Knight. I backed it but went WiiU thinking I might get one... Still no WiiU.

I sold off the WiiU version at a bit of a discount but didn't realize the Steam version was $15.

Every backer email I get is like a punch in the stomach.

It was only $1 so if I didn't like it it wouldn't matter too much but damn I'm glad I got Awesomenauts. Game is fun as hell. I was looking for a more casual moba since the hyper competitiveness of dota was getting old and this game delivers.

What are you guys seeing? I was refreshing the page since it finished to see if I won and it always showed 40 entrants. At least for me.
 
weird, i'm seeing this:

Risk of Rain -- MB-38274AAE14C871F1 - Taken by C4rter. 40 entrants total.

but the giveaway receipt says:

Cyberquake claimed your Risk of Rain key. There were 1 entrants.

I dunno, Elite-like maybe? If that isn't the name of the genre, it should be. Or Elike for short.

Darkstar One (it's in a bundle with some other stuff for $1.XX on Steam) and Wing Commander: Privateer (only on GOG, kinda old) jump to mind.

SteamWorld Dig was a pretty good 4 hour game. It's definitely worth knocking off your backlog if you snatched it up.

Love the last boss theme the most. Won't link it though cause it's best first heard in the fight :p

Reminds me of Cadash -- I wasn't interested until the video started showing the monk (I think)... then it was added to my wishlist pretty hard. Unsure whether or not I'm going to bite now or wait a little bit for the game to release and get impressions.

Never heard of the game. Looked it up and it's pretty old right? I think the reason I love this genre so much is because of Wizards and Warriors 3 on NES, where it all began...

I'll talk about MGR all day. RULES OF NATURE!

Hey guys, did you hear about that awesome game called Metal Gear Rising? Would be such a shame to not experience it.

The gentle cruelty of GAF ;___;
Luckily I cant watch youtue right now.

Well, "claim" and "taken" are two different things. Maybe C4rter whacked Cyberquake drom behind and took his game and his lunchmoney while 38 people watched.
