Your family probably dies the first time or so through, but once you figure it out it's not too hard to keep your family alive.

PvZ Garden Warfare is pre-loaded and awaiting the midnight hour. Looking forward to it.

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

Something that really helped me and might help you:

Your family can afford one day without food, or one day without heat, without it being a problem. They only get hungry/cold if they go two consecutive days without.

THEREFORE...save vital money by alternating which of these you pay for each day. Go without heat on Day 1. Go without food on Day 2. Go without heat again on Day 3. And so on.

This may be enough to pull your family through on your limited budget, even allowing you scope to pay for occasional medical needs.

Or maybe not.

How good is FTL?

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

FEAR IT.

I was just about to ask about this game. Thanks guys!

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.

We cook our bangers and mash over an open fire. That your so called 'oven' and 'stove' and be gone, heathen.

I started a killer space program and you all were like "space, what the bloody 'ell's that mate, some kinda biscuit?"

It gives me a whole new appreciation for politicians >_>

StarForge is £3.74 on the flash sale and they've just released a huge new update today moving out of alpha and into beta.

Might be worth a go.

Guacamalee is very cheap and good fun. Controller is preferable but keyboard works well.

What's that game all about?

I see it pop up every odd time, and I've been tempted but never really motivated in getting it.

It's a platformer about a man who becomes a luchadore in order to battle a bunch of bad guys. Really interesting art style and fun but simple gameplay mechanics

I fixed all the country's problems in my first term and got re-elected like eight times. Clearly I am a legendiconstar.

[Benji]

What difficulty?

[Plubby]

[TEOL]

I will personally buy a copy of To The Moon for anyone on my Steam friends list who wants one. Just say the word.

[JasonM]

Is it THAT good?

Got it on my steamlist after buying a bundle, contemplated on playing it... But now I really have to try it.

[Plubby]

It is among the most phenomenal experiences i've ever had gaming.
