And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
LMFAO, Wario just melt-downed on chat

Guess Bad Rats destroys you eventually!

So Mark of the Ninja is $7.50 on XBL today, but it's only a one day deal. Do you think it hits any lower than that during the holiday sale?

If it hits the same price on Steam, it's still better for me from XBL because of 1/2 price points cards from Target Black Friday, so what do you guys think are the chances it hits sub $7.50 on Steam?

It was already that price during the sale last month, so it probably will hit that price again.

I hope The Secret World goes on sale, that game looks really interesting but I refuse to pay over $10 for an MMO that has a monthly subscription.

Itll be at least 7,50 on steam for sure. Is the xbla version 60fps?

I think 7.50 on a platform that I know will always have the game available and playable, can be easily modded, has more control options and runs at a bigger resolution better than 3.75 on a platform where I don't know what will happen next year.

But that's just me.

Time over? REALLY, TIME OVER?

You know what, go eat a big sausage Bad Rats. Fuck me, I'm not spending a single additional minute on this turd. God damn! Salsa, was your plan to give me a heart attack from raging at this game too much?

works for Gamestop (lol)
I restarted a game and now it won't let me do anything, can't even go to main menu. No objects to play with, lol.

I actually kind of enjoyed it, it's like Incredible Machine...

I can narrow that down.

Toki Tori ($0.49)
Ghost Master ($0.74)
Broken Sword Trilogy ($1.99, separate games also 80% off)
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome ($2.49)
Bang Bang Racing ($2.49)
Blocks That Matter ($1.24)
Critter Crunch ($1.74)
Hard Reset: Extended Edition ($3.74)
Magnetis ($0.49)
Sequence ($1.24)
Sideway New York ($2.49)
SkyDrift ($2.49, includes DLC)
Wizorb ($1.01)

Those are worth checking out, y'all, especially Critter Crunch at that price. If you have money, you have no excuse. SkyDrift and Bang Bang Racing seem interesting to me but their demos weren't enough to make a solid call. If I had money I probably would have just got them because I have little self control with <$5 games.

One of the best parts of the last sale was the GAF thread, looking forward to not playing any games I buy more shenanigans and contests of wit, skill, and eroticism.

PS The Prince of Persia Complete Pack would be a real good buy if you don't have those games.

No, no, no, no, no Salsa! Read closely!

And I don't mean "start the game up and then quit", I mean PLAY as in PLAY until I either get bored of it or beat it.

At this point, I didn't even get bored to be honest. I wanted to punch my monitor in... I think that's reason enough to alt F4 (and it didn't even quit that way... had to manually go to the menu and click on "Quit". Fml).

Making a promise right now. Credo already knows about this, but might as well copy and paste it here so that everyone will be living proof of this.

I, Yoshichan, will play ALL of the games (no exception) that I will get - be it me buying the game, or getting it gifted. And I don't mean "start the game up and then quit", I mean PLAY as in PLAY until I either get bored of it or beat it.


There. Done. I can't edit this out. GG.

You need to be MORE BORED! :D

No idea, I've never been the type to notice such things. At all.

Eh, I'm certain the game will always be available to me on my 360, and I've no intention of jumping on the next consoles for at least a year after release. Not to mention for me a game like this is a one time play-through.

I totally see the other perspective though. $5 just happens to be my upper limit for most downloadable type games.

How's MUD TV? It's £1.99 (75% off), the idea seemed quite good when I read about it before release but the Metacritic reviews aren't great.

Maybe you will enjoy my offerings more.
After all, how could it get worse.

Going for that tomorrow! Browsing through some other games atm... I'm scared ._.

edit: Wait, nevermind. I'm actually gonna give Patricians a go now! But if I enjoy it (I might), I'll obviously continue it later~
