I'll take my chances somewhere else hehe.


Yeah I went into the room and I looked around: "hey where did he go?"

SURPRISE! I think my exact words were "well fuck" :p

Same here. Got flattened the first two times in man-to-demon combat. So after that I wanted to fireball him from up above. "OH FUCK" + a drop of my jaw to my ankles was the result of him jumping up and smashing me into the floor.

The next NOPE NOPE NOPE was probably
the dude in the winding tower past the bridge boss
. Had to
strip totally naked to be at max speed with a shield

Would also greatly appreciate help with getting scribblenauts from amazon. Can, of course, prepay with paypal.

Thanks a lot to Petrie.

Fellow GAFfers just a curiosity queston:

If I wanted the best Similar experience like Age of Empires III which game should I get? I have Cossacks: Art of War on Steam and Civ games are not like AoE III regarding the type of strategy I was looking for. I also have the AoE III expansions by the way.

Thanks in advance.

They should give him a second chance, he's pretty much on every other gaming forum I go on and the community loves him.

I agree. However, he had two strikes: He constantly came in the Steam thread to talk about non-steam redeemable sales going on @ Amazon. He was warned for it.

Then he had this crazy idea of creating a thread asking if he should be contacting publishers regarding the Official Threads for games, technically making them "sponsored" with better graphics and information about games.

With that, he broke at least 2 or more rules at the same time: The hidden "don't make a stupid thread goddammit" rule and the "you're not supposed to be associated to the company if you're making an official thread for a game" rule jump straight at me.

It was also the worst possible week for him to do that, because either something happened at Polygon that made everybody be insane about the industry or the Geoff Knightley thing. I forget.

Rise of Nations is probably the best Age of Empires I've played :p, It's not on Steam, though.

I'm so on that Scribblenauts deal. And to think I almost bit at full price. With that I'm more then content with my holiday purchases. I can't guarantee that I'll stop spending money, but this is my best haul of the last few major sales.

Half minute hero any good? Looks like fun...

I was addicted to it on the PSP. Very fun and addictive game. I haven't played the 360/PC version, but i'm very tempted to bite on this flash deal. Initially the new art style put me off. But i think you can play it with the original art style too, which is great.

He was already talking with publishers. In a way monetizing his presence on GAF beyond what his threads already did. The whole thing was slimy and I'm glad he's gone. Using NeoGAF as a storefront, no doubt being measured on metrics of how many sales were directed from GAF, how many page views his threads had, how many replies. I'm glad he's gone. Should GAF allow every company out there to have their own virtual store front threads on GAF? From Walmart to Gamestop, and every mom and pop in between?

Do you see the way that Amazon lowers prices and moves up sales on software to match the Steam sales? The Walking Dead was supposed to be discounted later this week. When it went on sale yesterday they immediately dropped their price. Sure that's just business, but it should also make it clear exactly why he was posting in Steam threads for both Steam activated games and non-Steam activated games. The entire reason he showed up here was because of the success of the Steam threads and to put a dent in it. It wouldnt surprise me at all, in fact I would actually be surprised if it wasnt true, that one of the metrics he was being graded on was how much of an impact he could make on the Steam threads themselves. Not purely in the sales on Amazon that were directed from the Steam threads, but if he could show a slowing of the view and post count of the thread from previous years.

As much as I want Sniper Elite, money is getting tight so I think I'll hold off until another Steam Sale.

And Scribblenauts Unlimited for $7.50! My daughter wants that soooo badly but I think despite it being so cheap I'd rather her have that for the Wii U (whenever I get her one).

Clearly you lack the mental facilities needed to appreciate such a fine game as binary domain.

Does she have her own laptop? I thought the same thing for my nephew, but I ended up biting because it'll help him build typing skills.

Thanks for whoever noticed the hidden deals on the Half-Life franchise. I bought the HL Anthology pack for 3€. I own the HL1 and Blue Shift boxed retail, but I gave away the keys years ago to some friends to play CS.
