[Positive Touch]

anyone got a good alternate steam skin they use? i'm sick of looking at the default ugly one, but every alternative i can find is a thousand times uglier

[archie4208]

PixelVision

[pilonv1]

Europa Universalis IV is $10 on the Humble store

[Stoney Mason]

Europa Universalis IV is $10 on the Humble store

Damn. Seems like a great deal but I haven't even played 3 yet on my steam account.

[pilonv1]

Me either. Same with Hearts of Iron.

At least I played a bit of Crusader Kings II

[Rahxephon91]

Got that Bioshock Infinite Season Pass for $4.99. Glad I voted for Infinite.

[G The Resurrected]

Got that Bioshock Infinite Season Pass for $4.99. Glad I voted for Infinite.

hmm I might have to add more credit to my wallet to get that. Thanks for the heads up!

I caved

[Eel O'Brian]

Bioshock Infinite season pass for 5 bucks

 

that must have been a misprice, because it's showing up at $20 for me, and i'd sooner wipe my ass with a $20 bill before i gave it up for that little content

$5 for real this time?

[Great Rumbler]

 

[archie4208]

Valdis Story is pretty good.  It's like the bastard redneck child of Super Metroid and Devil May Cry.

[Purple Filth]

So it was a legit deal after all?

[Stoney Mason]

Europa Universalis IV is $10 on the Humble store

Damn. Seems like a great deal but I haven't even played 3 yet on my steam account.

I caved

Seems like its $19.99 now so maybe I should have caved too.

 :'(

edit: I bought Guacamelee instead

[fistfulofmetal]

Does it open up more? I'm pretty early but it seems pretty linear so far.

Controls are a bit to get used to. Super sticky to walls and stuff.

Did you get your key yet? Still waiting for it :/

Yeah, link was instantly emailed to me.

Stoney it was a daily Humble deal, but someone else had it for $10 in late December too.

I've probably spent close to $80 now with EU IV and Football Manager 2014. But I've made about $20 from cards so its not too bad.

[Rahxephon91]

I wonder if I should jump on Arma 2 CC for $7.99 just to dry DayZ. It just seems like I could go either way with the game. It sounds cool. It also sounds a bit annoying and it is built on a military sim and well I'm use to BF and CoD shooting.

Do it. The servers may be dead due to Standalone but it's a good "demo" to see if you want to drop the $30 on Standalone.

Just note that Standalone improves somethings (since it did a complete re-write of the Arma 2 engine IIRC?) that the mod has and the Standalone doesn't have some of the stuff that Mod has (yet). But for $5-10? You'd be saving yourself some disappointment in the long-run if DayZ isn't for you.

[Trent Dole]

[Eel O'Brian]

play la mulana first fistful,i can't get enough of people getting angry at that game

[Madrun Badrun]

Spelunky is kind of assy.  Its so clunky. 

[ToxicAdam]

That's how I felt. I don't mind dying when I make mistakes, I don't like dying when I don't feel like the controls are tight.

[Human Snorenado]

I spent $60, ended up getting You Need A Budget, because SPREADSHEETS AND NUMBERS.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

Spelunky is kind of assy.  Its so clunky.

Wrong. Not right. Incorrect.

[Madrun Badrun]

Maybe it is just that I have been playing so many good games with tight controls lately that I'm less accustom to poop.

[Fifstar]

Um, Spelunky controls are super tight, what makes you feel they are clunky?

[cool breeze]

there are some idiosyncrasies to spelunky but when you get it it plays great.  only issue I run into is grabbing ledges when I intend to drop off. 

[archie4208]

It's a Nippon Ichi RPG without the FBI tracing your every mode.

[Madrun Badrun]

Um, Spelunky controls are super tight, what makes you feel they are clunky?

KB and mouse or controller?  The controller analog stick is super assy. 

[benjipwns]

Weird noticing the time and not checking for the new flash sale and community vote.

Only spent like $25, although not really because I had at least five bux in card monies.
Guacamelee
The Swapper
Don't Starve (during price error, wouldn't have otherwise)
Serious Sam 2
Kairo
Unholy Heights
Rogue Legacy
Mark of Ninja DLC
Swords and Soldiers SAUSAGE FEST DLC (to go over to get a card)
Trials Evolution Gold
Two Tribes Pack (because it was cheaper than Toki Tori 2+ even with the one of three thousand coupons I have for it)
Crusader Kings II: Songs of Yuletide (FREE)
BL2: Headhunter 3

Got gifted Far Cry 3

Probably spent more elsewhere (Amazon/GMG):
Fable
Tomb Raider
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
10,000,000 (then wound up buying this for my kindle too after being obsessed one night )
Anachronox

[Madrun Badrun]

Mark of Ninja is really good.

[thisismyusername]

Um, Spelunky controls are super tight, what makes you feel they are clunky?

KB and mouse or controller?  The controller analog stick is super assy.

No D-pad support?

Keyboard and mouse works fine, but it's kinda assy to me because I don't like playing 2D platformers with KB/M. But I wouldn't say Spelunky's controls are junk, far from it. It's "tight" just the method of control needs to be D-pad and buttons for me.

[Fifstar]

Um, Spelunky controls are super tight, what makes you feel they are clunky?

KB and mouse or controller?  The controller analog stick is super assy.

Just kb, no mouse. Do you play with a 360 controller?

[Huff]

Controls great on the vita, but I don't know how that compares to kb or 360. Everytime I die, I feel like it was my fault

[Stoney Mason]

Mark of Ninja is really good.

Yes. Yes it is.

[Big Barry Jazz]

Skulls of the Shogun is the new daily. If you haven't picked it up yet then you have no damn excuse now.



Would've 100% it by now if I could find someone kind enough to keep feeding me troops over a long match. The one issue I had with the game was almost nobody willing to finish a game unless they were kicking my arse. I've got 4 asynchronous matches going where my opponents haven't made a move in months and I'll be damned if I'm the one that quits.

[Fifstar]

Got Wizardy 6,7,8 Pack and Deponia on Steam, FF3 on Android and Europe Universalis IV on HumbleStore, spent below 15€, not too bad, although I probably didn't need another hardcore time intensive rpg series. Also forgot to buy Papers Please, but it'll be soon enough on sale again I guess.

Let's get it on. Send a request to iosskulls2 (async is cross platform) and let's throw down. Note that I suck ass at my own game so it should be an easy win.

[Human Snorenado]

Awwww yeah. I got a $30 2k games credit with Amazon when I bought Bioshock Infinite forever ago, and The Bureau is half off right now, so I just got The Bureau.

[Sho Nuff]

Man I really liked the Bioshock Infinite Burial at Sea DLC, the amount of money they threw at it must have been fuckin nuts

Sweet!

Any of you other guys still playing? We should get a Bore freaky four-way going at some point.
