    It's pretty awesome see VC getting so much love. It looks like it's going to be a big success and hopefully encourage more games like this.

    Does anyone know how the dlc worked for it? I'm assuming it's separate so you can play it outside of the main story and don't have to worry about leveling characters.

    Correct. Edy's is a standalone mission featuring some of the secondary squaddies, while Selvaria's is more of a mini-campaign from the Imperial side. Both are separate from the main story; I believe the latter unlocks a bigass machine gun for your shocktroopers to use.

    I have returned to my desktop after a fine dinner to find a chat window bearing a slice of humble bundle from @Maguano‌. Within the link is Among The Sleep, a game that I've been super interested in checking out since I first saw previews for it. So as I was thanking Maguano of course my Steam locks up and a new window appears.

    lOkg9Nt.jpg

    Seems like @Iolo had to get in a parting shot for my gift of stranded by returning fire with a copy of Black Ice, the cyberpunk FPS/Rogue-lite mashup. So yeah, FPS, neon pew pew lazorz and roguelike/RPG elements? My free time is over there in the corner, weeping and shaking its head.

    It also had an absolutely nutso random encounter rate. Even with it turned down a coupla notches from the DC version (or at least so i heard...never had the chance to play anything on DC, m'self), you were tripping over fights every other step.

    Damn but that game was awesome. All the characters were chipper go-getters, too...bucking a JRPGtrend at the time. And the ship-to-ship battles....

    Damn....now it's my heartstrings.

    So there's a game on Steam called Hail to the King: Deathbat. I was mightily intrigued just based on the name...then I looked at the description:
    Deathbat is a 3rd person, overhead dungeon crawler action RPG in the vein of The Legend of Zelda, Gauntlet Legends, and Diablo. The game’s story is based on the mythical origin of the Deathbat, Avenged Sevenfold’s logo and mascot.
    I really don't know what to think about this one. Diablo-clone based on a band mascot of the year (DCBOABMOTY)?

    EDIT: @The Pink Skull set some kind of land-speed gifting record by depositing Deathbat into my Steam library less than 5 minutes after I posted this. Thanks, Pixie :)

    A quick question, if I buy her Season 2 will it include Season 1 as well? It kinda makes sense since its twice the price of what they're selling Season 1 for.
