Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
I never heard of Transcripted before, but it's a pretty damn cool (but weird) combination between a twin-stick shooter and Luxor. A shame this isn't available through Steam anymore.
A suprisingly large amount of story in there as well. A bit too much, honestly. Not really interesting either, but the VO is decent, and it does bring some atmosphere into the experience.
But yeah, it's really enjoyable. So, thanks again, Aatofokus. :)

They could double stack the flash sales and have new ones every four hours but still have them last eight hours. Lasting any less than 8 hours makes them really easy to miss, which just causes even more problems.

Rather than updating every 4 hours, it would be less confusing if they just had twice as many games in every flash sale. Keep the 4 vs. 4 community vote, but have 8 games in the flash sale. Up the dailies to 12 a day too while we're at it.
 
Trying to clear my backlog, I decided to play 15-30 mins of a few games that I haven't tried yet.

First was Guacamelee! I really enjoyed the setting and the art style. The game is oozing with charm. Unfortunately I really didn't enjoy the controls... I feel like this game is meant to me played with a controller.

Second was Strike Suit Zero. This game is really cool and I could see myself loving it... when I was younger. Unfortunately it gave me motion sickness pretty quickly so I had to turn it off. But yeah, very fun looking game.

Last was Trine 2. Wow, this game is absolutely gorgeous! Seriously impressive art direction on their part. The gameplay was okay. I don't love sidescrolling platformers. Honestly I wouldn't have played past the first 5 minutes if it wasn't for the beautiful graphics. But yeah, did I mention how awesome this game looks?

It must be because Bundle Stars makes you pay in Gbp? I figured it wouldn't matter if going through Google Wallet. Oh well stupid American Express I've been waiting to play System Shock 2. :(
 
I have an hour to decide if I want Car Mechanic Simulator 2014 for $7 or not. It looks surprisingly detailed and serious, but also heavily reliant on knowing your way around the innards of a car (which I don't, I just race 'em on TV). Surprisingly few reviews, too. GAF: sell me or dissuade me!

How popular is KoFXIII? an hour left at $10...

I was playing earlier this morning and found matches pretty instantly. No clue how big the actual userbase is, but finding matches doesn't seem to be an issue. Could be an increase due to the sale and may dip down later, for all I know though.

So the 40gig isn't any good....but the speed is 8mb so I think it's good
What's the use of speed if you're over the limit withina few hours or days? A big game nowadays already take 40 GB. And everything you do in the internet will eat away your limit faster than you can look.

$4.99 is already a great deal for Ikargua or whatever it is you cheap bastadges.

there were lots of summer sales already, not mentioning two are active right now! Has it ever occurred to you that it can be not out of our choice?
being cheap bastards
That there is no other way left for us?

Oh absolutely, playing Guacamelee! with kb/m is a suicide, I think clearing some of the later parts with keyboard is a herculean task
 
Ikaruga? Never heard of it.

Yeah, that's right. I did it.

I did this too. I already own Ikaruga and want a good discount on the most recent Beat Hazard DLC.

I'm in this for me, not for all the stingy bastards who couldn't buy one of the greatest shmups ever for $10 or even $5. :p

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I bet he owned the fourth too and the new Valve limits just stopped ES from highlighting it!

Could be. Although I've got some "creative workarounds" I'm working on in the next version of Enhanced Steam. So far it's promising, and all told might even end up being faster than it was before.

I bought the gamecube and XBLA versions when they came out, I can be cheap.
 
As a hope for forgiveness for not voting on Ikaragua.

Bah, you're all weaklings. Needing sleep during a Steam Sale? Pfffft! You can sleep when you're dead! Now, the call of Mammon awaits!

Yeah, double-stacking the flash sales would be better

So far, I'm simply loving Valiant Hearts. Just one of my sorts of games and I can't wait to be able to give more impressions (without spoilers).

In the meantime I will try to upload each day one or two screenshots máx. from the game with a quote related to what you may see or feel when looking at the screenshot. :)

The cheaper it is, the more of them I can give away.
