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!

Also, can I individually select games as gifts in the indie packs? I want to give someone botanicula because I've played it and the game should be played by EVERYONE.
I only really want Splice and EYE from the pack.
It nails the cinematic game-as-bizarre-tv-horror-show feel. It's the sort of thing that isn't often attempted in games, and is even less often done well. Remember, this is the studio that created Max Payne. They know how to set a mood and focus it with laser precision.
Oh, and it contains my single favorite scene in any video game ever. I don't want to spoil it, but it involves fending off hell fiends in a cornfield using the power of heavy metal. Complete with a giant stage and enough pyrotechnics to make KISS blush.
there's got to be a button somewhere, right?
Alan Wake does a similar bit, and it does it better.
Curiousity sated, time to get some fitful sleep before the next rollover.

Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
so awesome. :^:
Reposting.
There are two entries eligible for the drawing so far, so there will be no lightning round. Which is a shame, cause I've been trying to find a use for this giant Tesla coil.
I'm glad to see that at least one of the pictures (the first) is providing some challenge, but also glad to see a few know it, because it is a great game.
I'm almost always down to plays some Payday, hit me up.
Ditto!

Yes, it's worth $5 unless you absolutely loathe 3D platforming games.
It's gorgeous, in an at time truly beautiful, and at other times truly disturbing way. The gameplay does have some variety to it, but the levels, especially towards the end, are about 25% longer than they need to be. There's not much reason to replay it, but then again, it's $5.
I agree completely. I'm not a fan of 3D platformers, but I'm glad I trudged through the (not horrible, not great) gameplay for the story and atmosphere. Well worth a fiver.

I had a lot of "oh, well I'm sure this level will be done after the THIRD invisible floating platform segment... Oh? No? There's two more rooms of them?" moments.
But at least it looks great.
For those going to bed as well, sweet Newell dreams
For the night crew just getting started? Courage.
Especially because they only slept in because they didn't sleep well from trying not to think about the Steam sales they were missing out on.
Owned this games on 360, but I'm hoping I can get 60 fps and v-sync this way, plus all the DLC I missed. At this rate I'm not even going to need a 360 anymore. Also, thank god for that 2TB hard drive.
He also tossed in a giftable copy of The Binding of Isaac, a game I already own. As a result, I have a chance to return some of that classiness with my own:
The Binding of Isaac Giveaway
Rules: I'll make this simple. PM me the most inspiring and/or awesome quote from The Bible that you can find.
No crazy long passages, just a sentence or two.

Winner gets one copy of The Binding of Isaac (DLC not included).

Yeah, I'm thinking of saving any gifting for post-sale giveaways, sort of a hangover special.
Both of these go for me as well.

Borderlands hasn't quite finished downloading and I haven't started getting Portal 2 yet, so it'll be a few days before I get into either, but feel free to hit me up whenever. I won't be a dick, but you might need to be a bit patient with me.
The commentary that comes with the special editon contents isn't... particularly great or insightful beyond a few tidbits you could just find on a fan wiki (and isn't as well blended in as say, Valve's commentary). The book is a neat extra, gives more tidbits about certain characters you wouldn't otherwise know and puts some of the events into a different perspective but would only really appeal to big fans. The soundtrack is great but hard to say if you'd get any enjoyment out of it on its own, music taste being how it is.
It's cheaper to grab both Alan Wake + Collector's Edition and it's semi-sequel American Nightmare together, it saves you about a buck and some change as opposed to buying both separately.

Oh well, tomorrow... Someone's getting something. I already have it. I'm just waiting and lurking like the guy who followed us through the alley tonight and stared at us while we where getting into the bar. So in celebration of not being kidnapped raped and murdered, I drunk bought some things.
We'll see where they end up.
And remember MS paints of delorean time travel to win bttf!

Not really, no. They recap the basic gist of the first game's plot in the introduction to the sequel.
