Damn I need to get FTL. Ooh it's $6 on GOG.

If you buy it from their website, you get a DRM-free copy and a Steam key for $6.

Diablo 3. Granted I didn't play anything else. Post 1.04 lived up to the hype.

Who are the dumb-dumbs voting for Ass Crud 3? Speak up and be lepered.

There may or may not be a Cruncheons later this week with all of our choices for GOTY, in case you were holding back for what the tastemakers choose.

He's probably idling while doubled over on his bathroom floor, kneeling in a pool of vomit and orange juice.

FTL: I got to Sector 5 pretty easily on my first run (on Easy) and I was thinking "Hey, this isn't so bad" and then BAM I'M FUCKING DEAD.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #145 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:42:11 PM »

fires and boarders will fuck up your early game more than most things. I found I always upgraded my doors fully first thing. Also working towards unlocking the 2nd Kestrel loadout is a good early goal.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #146 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:43:57 PM »

You can upgrade your doors??

Man, I did not notice that.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #147 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:46:34 PM »

yeah, stops fires from spreading and stops boarders so you can vent them.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #148 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:49:14 PM »

I'm just getting the hang of venting fires. This fucking RULES

pilonv1 · « **Reply #149 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:50:40 PM »

Also open your doors when you have fires to reduce oxygen levels to put out fires.

(this is serious advice)

edit: damn late replies. Also read the FTL thread here

Remember my advice on giant spiders!

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #150 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:52:02 PM »

Shit, you guys have me wanting to go back. Lost all my data so have to start from scratch.

Cajole, use that Engi ship the game gives you for reaching a certain sector. Shit is boss.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #151 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:53:15 PM »

Alright, I'll use it next game. I unlocked it, but it kinda scared me.

The ion gun is pretty OP, and if you can get a second one you'll be golden. Drones will do all the work for you.

Do you guys explore every sector before jumping to another galaxy or just try and make it as far as possible quickly?

There's one super optimal way to play, but the fun part of the game is that you will learn quickly what works and doesn't work because the game will bend you over if you get a spot you're not ready for.

Still incredibly accurate

It's a good game for either devoting a play session to or spotting in a short play session here and there.

So I was watching a video talking about the Video Game Awards (Spike TV) tomorrow night, and Borderlands 2 wasn't even nominated for GOTY.

God damn, I kinda wanna add Sonic All Star Racing Transformed to my goty contender list- what a nostalgia fueled blow job of a game it is- the fact that its a great kart racer also helps

Nah got it for 360, its great- im sure it'll look even sharper on PC though so i'll probably double dip since I got this one as a gift. Still console versions are only 40 new which is just great

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #167 on:** December 07, 2012, 11:36:36 AM »

After playing some FC3, I'll go ahead and cast my vote for Borderlands 2.

Although that's actually in opposition to what I posted earlier in this thread, that I liked Dishonored more than Borderlands 2. Whatever.

DCharlieJP · « **Reply #168 on:** December 07, 2012, 01:17:37 PM »

I want to change my vote to Hotline Miami - hotter than the suns tits

Admin abuse : i changed the poll so i could change my vote. HOTLINE MIAMI BEEEACHES

Man, i never saw the original trailer...

Yeah i loved the first one and this launching cheap made it a must buy for me.

Third · « **Reply #170 on:** December 10, 2012, 08:39:34 AM »

Since Journey is not nominated I'm going with The Walking Dead.

Non-gaming done right.

07: Spec Ops: The Line
06: Alan Wake's American Nightmare
05: Forza Horizon
04: Borderlands 2
03: Journey
02: The Walking Dead
01: Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition

I just played Super Hexagon, shit is legit. I dont think i can put in as many hours into it as Hotline Miami.

Also Dccharlies highscore of 60 seconds is fuckin hardcore

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #179 on:** December 21, 2012, 03:04:21 PM »

Journey is an alright little game for what it is but it boggles my mind that anybody would call it goty. Sounds like video game hipsters have taken over ign.

GAF has always been full of video game hipsters so its to be expected there.
