Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Same. Got it from a bundle already anyway.
I didn't even like playing as him in Super Meat Boy.
The only thing I saw people saying was better in 3 was the ship combat. I have both games and I don't see any reason to go back to 3. I'd also recommend getting the expansion as it improves the base game.
Steam Box....potential console developed by Valve.

Just caught up on monday morning steam thread: this fits a bit of The Guild II: Renaissance or Pirates of the European Seas. Midevil life/business simulator, with politics.
Origin: Broncbuster
Been dicking around with it, and so far it's actually fun. Like a MOBA but without the DOTA bullshit.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
I was, but there was only a single article from The Verge so more data points are welcome. If you want to catch up on what people were saying about it, there's a few pages of discussion about it starting on p.87.
STEAM: Gasman1220 | My Backloggery
Still that same one article from the Verge I'm afraid, it's just that all the other games news sites are re-printing the same information and linking back to the first article.

I need a controller for my computer, so I'm picking one up. Thought I'd share the link if anyone else needs one.

"currently unavailable in your region"
Honestly I think this happens with every THQ game.
STEAM: Gasman1220 | My Backloggery
I laughed at that too, and obviously they don't read our thread cuz the way the broke down Purchases didn't fit properly. Do you have more than x games? Yes I have more than 200+.. have you bought any in the past month? Yes, but.. sales sales sales.. is when I get most of mine, and there was no mention of "Do you get gifted many games from the Classy Chaps of Penny Arcade Forums?".

I for one am shocked and I'm sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the exact same reasons this idea has been quietly dropped just about every other time it's ever been tried.
oh SNAP A THEME SONG!
Hahaha I absolutely love this, thank you!
And enjoy Brothers in Arms. For WW2 buffs, it's pretty great. Lots of great touches and attention to detail. The suppression mechanic is also damn fine and lends some weight to taking a hill. You didn't just charge up and throw bullets at guys, you actually lead your squad, direct them, and take a location.
Eh, it's probably for the better anyway.
Any reason why I wouldn't want to try wireless? Is it laggy?
But Shadowrun did it!
...oh. Yeah.
For them.
Didn't Quake 3 have cross-platform gameplay between PC and Dreamcast players? And I believe that the PC gamers kicked their asses. For FPSs, gamepads have nothing on KBAM.

Hmmm, I don't remember if that was cross-platform or not. My first thought was this.
PS3 allows KBAM
Also, I'm just laughing because once again, pointless patch certification nonsense gums up the works
I would be very interested to see any kind of statistics on how many PS3 users actually avail themselves of that.
But still, the option is there!
This change was made pretty much entirely due to the patch certification fuckfest
It's funny. I always see these stacks of "PS3 Keyboard and Mouse for FPS Games!" boxes at Best Buy when I go there. I have to assume someone buys them.
Ah, thanks. Didn't even notice the expansion. Hmm, costs as much as the game atm. Going to wait on it till the summer sale I think.
Having not been instantly gratified with an answer I looked on youtube for a let's play or review and found a LP of Patrician 4 done by one of the more annoying people in the world. If you haven't played the econ game your LPing before, then please don't.
I also found a LP of Patrician 3 by a guy that seemed to think the way forward in business is to hijack your competitors' assets.
Patrician 3 seems more old-school in it's management which isn't what I want right now, but I can believe ship combat is better, since it's quite bad in Patrician 4.
I think I need to find a strategy guide to Patrician 4 since I feel like I'm not managing my automated conveys in the right way
Depending on how big the stacks are, and whether the company that makes them sells something else Best Buy is interested in selling, that could indicated that they aren't exactly flying of the selves. Is there a layer of dust on the top one?
Most people that I meet who prefer consoles always brings up the fact that they can sit on their couch and play games. I have a hard time imagining how you would use KB&M where you wouldn't be more comfortable sitting in front of a PC. Then again, I really don't understand how playing games from a couch is better then in front of a PC, but that might just be because of the games I play and my more-then-5$-office-chair.
I certainly never played any PC players back when I played Quake 3 on the Dreamcast. There was a keyboard and mouse available for the DC though, so even if there was cross-platform play, it wouldn't necessarily have been so one-sided.
Just get Reboot; you can look at 1 if you want to, but I never have.

I guess not if the dongle comes with it, but if it's the play and charge that comes with it then it won't work connecting to your PC.
Is there a really simple Steam backlog website? Something where I can just log in with my Steam account, and it will show me a list of my games, and it will let me click a "completed" checkmark next to one of them? (Bonus points if it can automatically check games off when it sees an appropriate achievement unlocked).
Because I logged into backloggery. And saw how it didn't look much like my Steam library anymore. And it looked like way too much work to update.

Not to mention it takes about 2 minutes to plug an xbox controller into your PC and and HDMI cable from PC to TV and poof, you can game from your couch with your PC, but the graphics and framerate are far better than your console.
MechWarrior Online: Khyber Pryde
I don't know of anything like that, but until I find something like that or someone makes it I've just been moving games to the beaten category I made in my library.
I think you're stuck with either the categories in Steam, or keeping Backloggery up to date. I went with the backloggery option, it works for me but it did take a couple of hours to set up so it's not ideal.
