I tricked it when it came out and gave my copy to a friend. I did not have a gaming pc at the time.

Actually let Glorified G take it. I'm interested in it but It would probably end up about 5th on my backlog...

Hah, well it's already been PM'd your way. You may do with it as you like.

I'm looking forward to playing both Portal games on a PC, myself. Previous experience was also with a PS3.

Chivalry and Killing Floor. Fun fact: They both feature exploding heads, claymores, and crossbows.
Yep. Cave Story+ remains.
Should have mentioned, he doesn't want to re-buy Borderlands 2 (he was an Xbox gamer prior to getting the PC)
He likes the Castle Crasher idea though.

As an aside: everybody who doesn't own FTL needs to buy and play it.
The dialogue ranges from decent to unconvincing and cheesy. Same for the voice acting. (It sounds to me like one of those situations where the actors are generally talented, but they don't always know the correct context for their lines. And some of the lines could not be made to sound believable by anyone.) I also feel there's too much narration by the main character, which really kills the atmosphere.
The worst writing is found in the collectable "diary pages" you find as you play. I heard the game was developed in Spain, which wouldn't surprise me if true. It's so bad I'm internally "editing" it as I read them so I don't just ignore them altogether.
I dunno... the trailer hooked me with the game's look and feel, I am a huge fan of a well-executed post-apocalyptic experience. I expected (or wanted) much smarter story-telling to go along with it, and now that I'm reading that the game is very short (a few hours at most), I'm feeling like my money could have been better spent on Hotline Miami instead.
But it is indeed a great-looking game. And the gameplay mechanics have also proven, so far, to be solid and responsive (though I have read some complaints in other threads about control glitches). I guess it just doesn't feel as inspired as I expected, given how smooth and polished it all looks in motion.
Somebody get on this! CS is a great old-school platformer.

There has to be tens of thousands of user created maps by now. Do the Workshop maps appear on PS3?

I felt like I was being crushed by the weight of my Steam backlog so I deleted everything save what I purchased most recently, or intended to play in the new future.
I'm oddly relieved at the moment.

You do realize now you will never play the games you deleted, don't you?
I don't think I was going to play them anyway. At least now they won't torment me when I'm browsing my library
Unless I switch the filter to all...

I would get it on Amazon if it weren't over my budget. I can make a maximum of $15 purchase right now, and I'm saving that for Dark Souls.
But I've heard pretty good things about it.
So I have a key for Battlefield 3: Limited Edition (Comes with Back to Karkand DLC).
I already own it, I bought it mainly for the Premium DLC. Since BF3: LE is a seperate key from Premium (if anyone is wondering).
Anyone want to trade for Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams which is a flash sale for $5.09?

You could have sold or traded Bioshock 1 & 2 if you already had them.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of D: Not sure when I got the game though but it's been sitting there in my inventory for a while now.

you mean just the BF3 Premium service, not the full game, right?
if it's the game I could get you GS
It's the base game. Battlefield 3 w/ Back to Karkand since it's the LE version.
I used the Premium key for myself.

It says right there on the store page. 4 new challenges for single player and 3 new cars for multiplayer that no one is likely playing.

I had £15 left in my wallet and when it popped up in the sale I knew I had to get it.
When you can, pick it up. I'm playing classic mode which is great for casual play and I'm really enjoying it.
still waiting for the part where Deadlight gets bad that ive heard so much about
its been pretty damn good so far and im pretty sure im at the end
game would be a hell of a lot better without the character dialog tho. His stupid-ass internal monologue treats me like an idiot.
"I pulled this lever! now I can go through there!", "I need to find a way out of here!", "I could open the safe, thankfully the numbers I found in the photograph are just the ones I needed"
fucking game developers man

Did you partake in the Portal 2 release ARG? Those who nabbed all the Golden Potatoes were given the Valve Complete Pack and any dupes were added to your inventory.
Edit: It's also possible that you crafted it during last year's Winter Sale, or somebody decided to give it to you at some point.
I sent you a pm.
That is a good idea. Though surely they will have learned by now.
