    There are people with extra copies of Portal 2 sitting around? That makes my broke ass sad. :(

    You're telling me. I bought the $80 2-pack for a friend and me, I didn't get a return on that copy, and then I was gifted a copy of Portal 2 for the Potato Sack stuff.

    *ahem* Portal 2 = AssBro Deluxe... :)

    Am I reading your post right if I think you have two spares of Portal 2?

    No, just one. For a while there I was trying to find someone to buy the extra for $40, but I don't think that is going to happen so I'm trying to barter it away for the price of AssBro Deluxe. That, or pretty much the deal Peewi is putting out there as well.

    Edit: Oh, you are Peewi. I'm so used to the Kirby, man!

    I was about to make this easier for you, but it seems I took too long!

    Took too long?

    For some reason I couldn't gift you either Tropico or Torchlight, despite trying.

    Half the time I try to gift it fails (I especially had trouble gifting Corpekata) but I found that if you send the gift to an email address, that works. I was just sending it to my own email, then going in and using resend to send it directly through Steam. That work around has been working for me so far.

    Regarding A.R.E.S.' Prize Ticket:

    It's really easy to do, just reach stage 3, you will eventually reach a large area with three Bomber Hives, you will enter from the right door, right next to the left door to leave the room a Walker will spawn, you will need to make the closest bomber hive shoot it's bombers to the walker, the bombers kind of float around until they see you then shoot themselves in a straight line to hit you.

    So you have to kite the walker and the bombers so the bombers hit the walker, also, I guess you could shoot the walker a bit to drain it's hp and let the bomber finish the job, but I played it safe and let the bombers do all the job, had to take several energy tanks though.

    Reposting this in case people didn't read it before, so they don't "waste" time playing all the maps (which you should do, because the game is awesome).

    Holy God this Defense Grid achievement is going to take forever. Seems easy enough though.

    It is pretty easy. I actually did it just for the heck of it yesterday when I noticed there was a new achievement :)

    What does it entail? I am redownloading Defense Grid right now.

    5 different levels have a challenge mode to win the map without guns or cannons. So you basically end up playing a good chunk of the game's storyline.

    Ah, there was a recent update, I guess for the summer sale, on which the maps and modes have all been unlocked by default, so you can just search the maps that have the challenge.

    I have already finished 2 of 5.

    Totally went in and beat both your scores

    That sound you heard?

    That's the glove being thrown down

    Two Worlds II I only rented and it had some charm to it. The main character seems to be aware he's in an never ending series of fetch quests and sounds particularly loathsome of all the NPCs he deals with. Is still a pretty broken and awkward game though. I'd wait for it to hit cheaper.

    The first game was so bad that the devs made commercials mocking it.

    This is a good sign that you may want to skip it and move directly to the sequel. Which seems a lot better, if still a bit awkward and convoluted.

    You will find time to play Tropico. The game is brilliant. Corpekata would have it right now if his account didn't have a curse on it. He's the first person I've had that happen

    Concussion+Temporal kills basically all smaller aliens (Although without some alternating Temporals the quick aliens can frequently get by without getting caught in the slow effect before it's too late)

    And then Meteors kill the shields and bosses

    Yeah, meteors towers are the reason I managed to finish two of the maps, the maps that really kill me are those on which you have to plan the Alien's path, I'll try later, after I recover from my last defeat.

    After the last update you can go directly to those levels without the need to clear all the previous ones. Jut remember to set the Our of Bullets game mode.
