Benji is indeed a King.

Hitman 2, Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman: Codename 47 and Hitman: Absolution are in a bundle for £6. As someone who never played any Hitman games but liked the idea of them, is it worth buying?

[Benji]

Now it's my turn!

Giving away my final two copies of Monaco, since none of my RL friends wanted it. First two people to either message me on Steam or post a picture of a kitten here get it.

Edit: First one has been claimed by Benji, though not by his own request.

Already got it, but thanks (Y)

Coo. That means one free copy of Monaco to the next person to message me on Steam or post a picture of a kitten here.

[thatblindgeye]

Though really it was just an excuse to post a picture of a kitten.

EDIT: A four pack of Castle Crashers is tempting. I loved it on Xbox and haven't played it in forever, and I think my computer would handle it... Cursed deal.

Very much so.

Mass Effect collection (actually just 1 and 2, but the CD keys should transfer to Origin if you want to buy 3 and play it there - or at least my Dragon Age one did) as well as Fallout New Vegas and Deux Ex Human Revolution in the current Community/Flash sales.

Mass Effect 2 and 3 are both in my top 10 games of the last decade list, so congrats on picking them up. (Mass Effect is good, but 2 and 3 are miles better)

Unfortunately, I can't play 3 until I get my computer fixed or replaced (dvd/cd drive is busted), and the multiplayer is awesome.

*edit* Deus Ex Human Revolution is one of a handful of games that are on the bubble of being added to my wishlist. (Which, surprisingly, is only 12 games right now)

How good is FTL?

[Ruki]

It's a lot of fun. but also fucking hard, even on easy.

[Bobfoc]

The Castle Crashers/BattleBlock Theater pack looks like a tremendous bargain. If you've got a PC-compatible controller handy, those are two games that promise plenty of juvenile fun. I haven't played BattleBlock Theater myself yet, so I'm snapping it up.

Re: FTL

Remember that it's randomly generated, as opposed to the story mode of something like Cloudberry Kingdom, which can be mastered once you learn the rhythm of things.

[stokeriño]

It's quite easy to feel like you're breezing through FTL until you reach the final boss level and realise you haven't upgraded your ship sufficiently (or, more likely, in the correct way) to make a dent in its defences.

It can be mildly frustrating when you first discover this.

[Ruki]

I've only gotten to the final boss twice. Both times I never managed to land a hit.

[stokeriño]

I beat the boss a couple of times, with maxed shields, cloak, and a very carefully-selected array of weapons that had to be used very strategically to wear them down (fired with precise timing so that they would hit their shields with appropriate intervals so that the last shot or two might actually hit the hull).

On most playthroughs though I simply wasn't lucky enough to find Stores selling the right things at the right times when I would have been able to afford them...so I had no chance.

[Benji]

There's a final boss? I think I tend to die about three sectors in >_>

[stokeriño]

FEAR IT.

[Sousa]

No one in Democracy 3 likes my pro-science policies. Like, ever. I made the UK not a technological backwater and somehow it ruined everything still. I am terrible at this game.

[Pizza]

I got 97% of the vote in my last election, and my equality and GDP are both 100%. Black people love me.

[Sousa]

I can't figure out why this game assumes black people hate science.

[thatblindgeye]

I've made it to day 8 in Papers, Please and everyone in my family is hungry and cold, and my son is sick.

Fuck this game
