Steam Summer Sale 2014

[King Ellis]

Dark Souls and its DLC for £5 is pretty crazy, so long as you have a controller to play it with.

Though, I'm losing track of how many times I've told people to buy/play this game.

[Avenged Probably]

I just bought it! Well excited to have a go after work tonight. And when it's on special I'll def get CK.

[Benji]

Bought FTL, Supreme Ruler: Cold War, and Dragon Age Origins yesterday. Only played FTL, which is simplistic, but really fun. I found myself dying often, but it was still entertaining.

[KiddKorupt]

Picked up Borderlands 2, The Walking Dead DLC, and Hotline Miami. Haven't played Borderlands 2 or the DLC yet, but have spent the better part of the last 3 hours with Hotline Miami. And by God, do I suck at it.

[Benji]

What is Hotline Miami?

[Benji]

FM 2013 and Civ 5 are in the flash deals at the moment (for another seven and a half hours from this post), for anyone who hasn't picked them up and wants to.

[KONGO]

What is Hotline Miami?

The best. Frantic, supremely violent, completely surreal. Best soundtrack in DIS BIZNESS. And yeah, it feels more like murder than any FPS. Seems like strange praise but it's just how agitated and jumpy it gets you 'cause one hit kills you, so you die a lot a lot a lot, but it's extremely satisfying when you knock a dude over by bursting through a door and then smash his skull in against a wall.

Ended up buying Duke Nukem 3D because it was <$4 and one of my favorite games of my childhood. Probably going to dig into that one this weekend.

[TKz]

Picked up Binding of Isaac and Borderlands 2! Also Last Remnant, because it was £2.

Get Crusader Kings because Crusader Kings is completely great, eff the Game of Thrones mod.

Yeeeeeeah but half the appeal of that game is the historical aspect, where as despite really enjoying history in school, I don't really know much about it, because they don't really teach you shit outside of World War 2 over here. Ironically I'd be more likely to know the landscape and the houses and so on of a fictional world rather than the real one.

Way to go, school.

OH MY GOD. Teach yourself. Have a little curiosity about the world around you. Don't expect everything to be served up on a plate. Join a library.

Sorry for being disappointed in the lack of diversity of history subjects in my school?

[Gazz]

You should be.

READ A BOOK!

[TKz]

I AM READING BOOKS CURRENTLY!

Crusader Kings II is at 50% but not on daily or flash deal. Probably worth waiting? I'm sure I've seen it on sale before, does it go to 75% sometimes?

[Benji]

It'll be 50% for the week, if it's not on a flash or daily deal by the last day, then buy it.

[apsham]

I begrudgingly accept the fact that the game I picked up by mistake last night (Euro Truck Simulator 2) is totally fucking awesome.

[King Ellis]

How many times has your truck become stuck a piece of the environment or spontaneously attempted to take flight?

[apsham]

Nothing... yet. But then again I've only done two hauls. I just completed one from Grimsby to Cambridge where I almost spilled fertilizer all over the A1 when I wasn't paying attention and tried to take a sharp turn.

[Ruki]

So...what are trading cards? I sold one for 40 cents

[Benji]

I thought mine was some kind of free copy of Borderlands 2 and got excited. Stupid cards.

I think if you collect so many, you get a free game or something.

[Ruki]

Oh....maybe I shouldn't have sold it then...

And then there's also the Summer Getaway cards:

Surgeon Simulator 2013!?

BUY BUY BUY NOW NOW NOW

[King Ellis]

Kinda like achievements but only with none of the skill and infinitely more price gouging via either buying them off the marketplace or trading with people to get a games full set.

I've sold some duplicates and made enough to buy a cheap game so that's a thing. I should really just sell them all.
