[The Broken Ska Record]

I got the Toki Tori ticket, finally. It took me a while, and I had to switch to a controller for the last few hard levels. Redeemed the three tickets I had for the Beat Hazard gold ship. :3

Also bought the PA games since I had the first one on 360 and never finished it. For $2? Why not.

 

[Derrick01]

not unless you count this: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/8666/

doesnt look too good, fucking EA

Mirror's Edge was on sale all the time and now i lost my retail disc, i want that steam copy you fucks

Don't worry. EA will concoct some phantom excuse as to why it's Steam's fault that their games aren't on sale like they do with every Steam-EA issue that no one else ever has with them.

I'd like to thank the academy for being able to recognize Kevin Smith references.

If you want another allusion to Jaws, go watch Chasing Amy and the sex injury scene.

Ah, hell, I'll link it.

I NEVER noticed that callback to Mallrats with the whole Banky Edwards eating out Brandy Svening. Being a massive Kevin Smith fan, it made me squeel like a school girl. That was a nice treat, thank you for that SalsaShark and bigwinnerx!

 

[elty]

So the "Check name availability" on the website actually doesn't work, as it return the name is available despite already taken. Making up a new login name solve the error.

 

[Trojita]

So I just bought

Borderlands: GOTY
Oblivion: GOTY
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER (Hadn't heard of the game till today, and saw there was two different games to purchase when clicking it, I chose this one since it was the name on the deal)
Recettear (I've only heard somethings about this game, but what I have heard was that it was good)
Warhammer Retribution
LEAD AND GOLD (Never heard of it till today)

 

[Yaska]

You guys think that X3: Terran Conflict will make it into a daily deal seeing as there's summer reward and most likely summer achievements as well?

 

[Petrie]

Obviously, but yea... I want to pull that trigger too

 

[BarrenMind]

Prize Ticket get! Just got Toki Tori's "Get a Tan" achievement. That was fun.

 

[dani_dc]

Anyone wants to help each other get the Lead & Gold acheivement?

 

[sk3tch]

Anyone else getting no sound in Recettear? I get sound from every other game and app in my OS.

 

[coopolon]

Should I buy Witcher 2 now? Not sure if I will play it anytime soon.

If there's not a burning desire to play I'd wait. They're going to keep releasing more DLC for it, performance will only get better with updates to both the game and drivers, and maybe they'll fix a few of the problems with it as well. But I agree it's not going to get any cheaper for awhile.

 

[InfectedZero]

Anyone wants to help each other get the Lead & Gold acheivement?

Im down, InfectedZero is my username.

 

[LocoMrPollock]

Just received my gift from Mr_Elysia. Thanks again!

 

[bucknuticus]

So can you only get these specific tickets today?

Also how is DOW retribution, I have DOW2 and thought it was fun, how does it compare?

 

[Petrie]

Anyone wants to help each other get the Lead & Gold acheivement?

Is this game actually any good (will I want to play it past getting the achievement?)

 

[Gvaz]

Witcher 2 is more expensive on sale then it was to pre order on steam, and is currently cheaper not on sale at other non steam stores.

Australians get treated like idiots in these sales.

Maybe in austrailia. It was $45 USD preorder, and its like $34 USD now

 

[Mœbius]

You could get better deals by waiting for more Dailies.

I guess you mean mainly in reference to Frozen Synapse...? I mean, the others are already all so low I doubt there's much more to be saved from there (and even if there were a little I wouldn't feel like I'd lost out by getting them at their current prices).

Killing Floor. In fact, I'm gonna boot it up myself.

 

[jaundicejuice]

Is Borderlands fun in single-player?

I've played Borderlands for nearly 30 hours, most of it by myself because Gamespy sucks. It's easier to solo with some classes/builds than it is others but it's fun to play if you love loot games. "New shotgun, moar numbars!"

It's even more fun if you can find a few people to play the game with.

 

[speculawyer]

Screw that AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity ticket. Too hard for me.

I'm tired of them manipulating me into playing that game. This is the third time!

 

[Nabs]

I guess you mean mainly in reference to Frozen Synapse...? I mean, the others are already all so low I doubt there's much more to be saved from there (and even if there were a little I wouldn't feel like I'd lost out by getting them at their current prices).

Yeah Frozen might drop further, but honestly it's worth that price.

 

[Sanic]

So can you only get these specific tickets today?

No, you can get any ticket for the duration of the sale.

 

[speculawyer]

Anyone wants to help each other get the Lead & Gold acheivement?

Me!

 

[Clydefrog]

I just bought Bit Trip Runner because of how much OP loved it. Well...

FUCK THIS GAME! I CANNOT BEAT THE SECOND FUCKING LEVEL WORTH A SHIT! I KEEP DYING ABOUT 20 SECONDS IN IT! I CAN'T DO THE FUCKING SHORT JUMPS UP THE LEDGES I'VE TRIED LIKE FIFTY FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW

I also have a terrible time trying to focus. Everything moves so fast on the screen. My eyes are all glazed out now and I have a headache from the fucking music.

 

[giancarlo123x]

What are the chances Left 4 Dead 2 will dip under 10 bucks in the next few days?

 

[Petrie]

Killing Floor. In fact, I'm gonna boot it up myself.

Yeah I recall trying it once and (waits for PC GAF to freak) the lack of controller support turned me right off. I know, Mouse and Keyboard is better blah, blah, blah, I can't stand playing FPS that was as someone who grew up with Goldeneye and Halo, I can't unlearn 15 years or so of gaming.

 

[Htown]

Im down, InfectedZero is my username.

I need this as well.

Steam name is Htown.

 

[Archie]

What are the chances Left 4 Dead 2 will dip under 10 bucks in the next few days?

Pretty darn good.

 

[SirPenguin]

Holy shit @ Bit.Trip Runner. GET THIS GAME. You'll feel like a platforming god at the end of each stage, even if the stage was probably fairly easy. It's Canabalt meets Audiosurf meets the early 90s

 

[The_Player]

WHY THERE'S NO ESCHALON PRICE CUT!? DAMN YOU VALVE I'M VERY ANGRY RIGHT NOW!

 

[Borgnine]

Oh god, I just had to pull back the zoom on my library grid. It begins....

 

[speculawyer]

I got the Toki Tori ticket, finally. It took me a while, and I had to switch to a controller for the last few hard levels.

Sounds like too much work for me.

I've got Bit Trip ticket and Swords & Soldiers ticket. Toki and AAaa seem to be too much work for my lazy ass. I guess I can farm Lead & gold and that will be enough for today.

Basically everything you see here I've either never played, or I booted it up for 5 minutes before getting ADD during these damn sales, and I can't get myself to focus and actually play one!

If you have a decent rig and like shooters, then you should play at least a couple of hours of Crysis before you do anything else. If shooters are not your thing, I lost 82 hours to King's Bounty games... Do I really need to say more?

 

[Smokey]

God damn I bought Borderlands earlier and it's steal downloading...slow....

Machinarium because it's so goddamn beautiful.

I've had the same problem in the past of having to switch back and forth between them, but it's definitely worth getting used to M+K (and it might take a while, but it will happen). You certainly don't want to go into a competitive game using a controller.

 

[hlhbk]

Got Medal of Honor and Bit trip runner today. I am quite proud of myself for limiting the damage!

 

[Alucrid]

So what are the chances of the complete Dawn of War 2 pack going on sale if only the expansion is a daily now?

 

[hlhbk]

God damn I bought Borderlands earlier and it's steal downloading...slow....

Have you tried different servers?

 

[Petrie]

I've had the same problem in the past of having to switch back and forth between them, but it's definitely worth getting used to M+K. You definitely don't want to go into a competitive game using a controller.

I've had no issue schooling everyone I run into in Monday Night Combat with my controller, but I do get your point. Well, any GAFers willing to deal with someone incredibly shitty in Killing Floor? Add PetriesLastWord

 

[Tenck]

About 20 minutes before Lead and Gold finishes downloading. Anyone willing to help me out to complete the achievement?

If you have a controller compatible with your PC go with Super Meat Boy.

 

[Cipherr]

Is there any chance these achievements will be available tomorrow for lead and gold and toki tori? Ive got a shitload of work to do tonight man.

 

[Petrie]

I lost 82 hours to King's Bounty games... Do I really need to say more?

Someone needs to point me in the direction of an actual tutorial or something for this game, as when I did boot it up, I could not figure out what was actually going on with the battle system at all.

Everyone else who has replied so far is wrong. The answer is obviously Deus Ex.

(And then Crysis after that)

 

[Derrick01]

Does the longest journey not run well on laptops or something? I have a POS laptop that was relatively high end for a laptop in 2006 but when I play this game it stutters like crazy, even the sound. I know this thing is horrible but I figure it should plow through a game from 2000. It can play Deus Ex 1 with no problems so I have no clue what's going on.

 

[plc268]

I just bought Bit Trip Runner because of how much OP loved it. Well...

FUCK THIS GAME! I CANNOT BEAT THE SECOND FUCKING LEVEL WORTH A SHIT! I KEEP DYING ABOUT 20 SECONDS IN IT! I CAN'T DO THE FUCKING SHORT JUMPS UP THE LEDGES I'VE TRIED LIKE FIFTY FUCKING TIMES IN A ROW

I also have a terrible time trying to focus. Everything moves so fast on the screen. My eyes are all glazed out now and I have a headache from the fucking music.

Basically this. Both Beat and Runner give me a terrible headache and eyestrain. Why these games are so universally praised is beyond me... but whatever.

Not only that, I have unnatural hate for the font that they use. Nearly fucking unreadable...

 

[Zzoram]

I won't have time to play for months but I think I'm going to buy The Witcher 2 anyways.

I went through the same thing the first time I played it. Once you get the rythym of the steps down though, you almost never lose it.

Also it is easier on the eyes if you find a way to play on a TV not ten inches from your face.
