Blech. I don't get paid until Monday.

Anybody want to buy it for me and get paid back on Monday and maybe I'll get you a pizza down the road?

What's your Steam account?

Redownlaoded Team Fortress 2 and I'm still as shit as ever, in the ten minutes I played .

[LUKIE]

SHOVEL KNIGHT IS LIKE ZELDA, MARIO, AND MEGAMAN ROLLED INTO ONE AND IT ROCKS!

[SeanDMan]

Sounds more like shovelware to me.

Finish your dramatic reading of the Rocky diary and we have a deal...

Screw you steam reducing Tropico 4 a further 4 dollars! I only just bought it a couple of days ago.

The kicker is that due to having exceeded the download limit for the month, I still don't even have Tropico 4 downloaded yet!

Different worm types sounds fucking awful. What I like/d about Worms is it was a great leveler and very fair and even.

The way T17 has created the different worm types feels very organic and it's still extremely leveled in terms of gameplay.

You can also just create a whole team of ''normal'' worms and play like that, and you'll have just as much chance as a team playing with slow ass heavy worms. It's still about carnage, guile and just general luck sometimes.

A big worm can die just as fast by prodding him off of a cliff than a generic worm.

It's no Worms: Armageddon, but it's worth a buy at a 5-er, or lower when it's reduced even more.

Also, if anyone loves realistic strategy games ala Company of Heroes. Men of War: Assault Squad 1 is on sale cheap (4 euros for the GOTY), or you can pay 13,20 euros for the entire collection where you get all the games (minus AS2). Why would you get all the games, because they are all in different settings and all have crisp and fun gameplay.

Again, if you're into realistic strat games where you can essentially fuck someone up with a single smartly placed unit, then that's the game you want to play.

I bought some game called Long Live the Queen because it looks ridiculous and was only $2.50. Maybe I'll diary it or somethin'.

I was really tempted to get that one, because it seems quirky and fun....but apparently it becomes kind of a memory game (remembering which choices to make/not make so you don't die).

I bought it earlier in the week. As said, it is quite quirky and fun...but nothing is random so in theory you could predict/plan for whatever you wanted. I find this pretty impossible though, largely because I don't have as good a grip on manipulating the princess' "mood" as I would need to do that.

After failing a number of times (although I more often got shuffled off the throne by some usurper than killed) I finally managed to reach the end basically by maxing out magic and royal demeanor. There are plenty of alternative paths though (e.g. looking up the meaning of one of the achievements informed me about a path which involves you becoming an evil minion and having your own dad killed)...but it's quite difficult to even explore alternatives without getting killed by neglecting something else.

Otherwise I suppose I could just try and tick off all eleven deaths.

Come to think of it, I could totally do a (possibly interactive?) diary of this...nyuck nyuck.

(Almost certainly too lazy though.)

I'd be interested but only if you somehow shoehorned David Luiz into the plot.

[King Ellis]

Fucking animation software as the community choice?! Fuck you, Valve, I'm switching to Origin!

But, yeah, Shovel Knight looked cool when it first got announced, even if the whole 'fake NES game, real NES hard' thing is being run into the ground nowadays. Nice to see it being reviewed very well so it's on my to do list for sure.

They're not massively different, they don't really have disadvantages, just small advantages - scout is sligtly faster than average, heavy hits for slightly more damage etc.

[Plubby]

Those who don't have To The Moon yet (and there's no excuse) but you can vote for it to go on sale at 85% off!

[Sousa]

It's well worth it by the way. I finished it in about three hours but it is a very good three hours.

[Noah]

Dammit! Just got back home from a trip out and I spent money that could have bought me Shadowrun Returns, which I only found out was on sale a few minutes ago.

Check the sales BEFORE you go out people!

[GhostMachine]

Yeah, they just HAD to put Shadowrun Returns on sale again.... ​

[KiddKorupt]

I see Dust: An Elysian Tail is up for 80% off. Looks good. Anyone play it? How is it?

[Quom]

It's amazing that one person made the entire game. It's even more amazing because it's so pretty and good at what it does. Having said that it depends what you're into, it's a platformer/brawler, so if you don't like that genre then it's probably a bit meh (I'm not big on them). But for $3 it's very much worth it.

[KiddKorupt]

Ok, cool. It looks (from the 2 or 3 Youtube videos that I saw) pretty fun. And I do like platformers and brawlers, so there's that. Thanks!

Tried to migrate all my Steam games to another hard drive, didn't work, backup not working, having to download every game and start again.
