    I am an ass and forgot to do this: Congrats to @DaringDirk on winning the Shadowgrounds drawing! I have yet to actually play it, so here's hoping it's worthwhile!

    Coupons added to the Google doc.

    -50% on both Shattered Horizon and SPAZ. Chat me up on Steam if you want either of those.

    And of course the obligatory -XX% off Valve games that everyone got, but I assume everyone either has one of those coupons or already owns all Valve games they want.

    "HOLY CRAP I WON THE GIFT PILE," thought I.

    I should think so? On my phone so give me a second and I'll try it.

    Edit: damn only the first game it seems. Apologies for that. I guess the "only valid for games released after Jan 2nd"applies top all vouchers

    The EYE team seriously needs better translators. And an introduction of sorts. Preferably the former first, since the latter would make no sense without it.

    I don't think the dense, kitchen sink background and hammy over the top plot wouldn't really be done any favors if it were given clarity. The mystery that goes with getting dropped into the middle of all this with the crazy Frenglish on top of it all (with a good dose of spoken Moon Language) is part of the fun.

    Yes, I agree with this. I think what the game needs is just more love and attention, because there is something unique in there. It would be a pity if it was just left to fade away.

    I agree with this a hundred times over. EYE has such a unique sort of feel to it, along with that kitchen sink flavoring of cyberpunk. Just hard for me not to enjoy, even in light of the weird translation and made up moon speak here and there.

    As an aside, many thanks to Random35 and PoultryGeist both for their last minute Steam gifts of DNF and Swords and Soldiers HD.


    Won't deny that it does that sort of dystopian atmosphere pretty well. And the enemies/skill system and rest are pretty unique. The shooty bits are kinda meh though. Not really that deep in, but I do feel that it would have been better of weirdly enough as an RPG.

    After the first active steam sales (was a cdrom in the autumn thanksgiving), its time to clean up the backlog bit by bit! Got over 10 new games and most of them are top-rated that would prob suck a lot of time out of me.

    Would like to thank all the classy gents here again, it was such a joyful engagment with every PA folk. And you guys are so classy that I did not even purchase a single game for myself at all! Hope that you would have a nice time with my gifts too :)

    So I finally finished The Witcher, which (!) I bought before the sale. I'd been nibbling on a PC playthrough of Borderlands and was worried I'd never finish off with Geralt if I didn't leap back in.

    Really glad I did. This is an absolutely amazing game, flaws included. Hell, probably due to some of the flaws (it crashed on me 2 or 3 times, that didn't improve the experience a lot). The end is the most bizarre mishmash of interesting ideas and things that are mandatory because oh, hey, guys this is a video game, we have to include certain things.
    Maybe this was just the result of my playthrough and others got different final 'gifts' from significant characters, but I was climbing a snowy mountain with a couple of flaming swords on my back (that occasionally brought down lightning) while my mage friend went magic crazy, and I was being confronted with and asked to reassess my moral decisions. That's fucking amazing. The fighting really felt like a game design concession, especially the very last battle, but I was so thrilled by what was happening I didn't care.
    .

    Part of me really wants to give it another go to see other story options, but the mechanics are clunky enough (and the plot long enough) that I'll probably wind up googling the alternatives. And I'm primed for more Borderlands, of course.

    I also really want to go ahead and uninstall it since my hard drive is pretty much maxed out and I've got a few more games from the sale I want to install. So, questions: If I uninstall through steam, will that kill all my local saves as well? Also, I've heard something about The Witcher 2 having a save game carry over feature, do I need to grab a specific save and tuck it away for this to happen?

    ETA: I think my partner's Sims 3 playtime is really misrepresenting some things. 49 hours on The Witcher, people. And one off the backlog!

    Yeah Witcher 2 will import your save file from The Witcher, giving you some cash and the armor/weapons you had at the end, and I forget if some of your moral choices roll over or not as I only have played through 2, once. Basically you can uninstall with no problem as the save file is safe in my documents I believe.

    Finally back home. Finally able to play stuff once again. Now the big question is whether I can drag myself away from Skyrim to dabble in all the other quality games I have waiting patiently for some attention. Help me decide what to play! I've narrowed it down to a few that I'm going to attempt soonish (I've still probably missed some absolute gems sitting in my library, but I'll get to 'em eventually).

    Bastion
    Call of Pripyat (loved STALKER: SoC, but haven't got around to playing this despite having it for an age)
    Super Meat Boy
    Uplink
    Braid
    Amnesia D:

    Whadda we reckon?
    The answer is Bastion, right?

    Time to start clearing out my inventory!

    Starting things off, I have 2 copies of Dungeon of Dredmor Complete to get rid of. To enter, PM me how you would design your ultimate dungeon to make sure it is a deathtrap for whatever random adventurer decides to wander in looking for your treasure. I'll let it run until Noon CST tomorrow and may extend it since I know a lot of the regulars here already have DoD.

    Braid

    in that order. CoP is amazing and will eat up some time. Bastion is also amazing and will be a nice change of pace from CoP. Back to a sense of dread with Amnesia. Then a sense of frustration with the meated mans. I haven't played Uplink and don't care for Braid is why those are the bottom.

    And the four different hack types sometimes make no sense or don't do anything close to what you would expect from their names! And you can hack something over and over again until it works!

    And there's pretty much no stealth!

    And you can pretty much store guns and/or katanas on every possible square inch and in every orifice of your body!

    It is like playing a Who's the Boss game, but it is the future-past in French-occupied space China, and you are the boss! A cyborg ninja boss!

    This is by far the best description of EYE I've ever read.

    Most of the games you listed are fairly large time-sinks. Do yourself a favor and in addition to whatever game you decide to go with, install Sequence. It's pretty damn small, so you don't have to worry about HDD space. It's really easy to just pick up for an hour or so and then put it back down (theoretically). So it'd be a nice diversion game to accompany something like Amnesia or CoP. And it's an absolute ton of fun.

    I'm with you. It was in my memory as a good-looking game, so when I fired it up not long ago I was really surprised how dated it looked.

    It did look really good when it was first released. It was one of the first titles I remember having HDR lighting.

    So what do we think they're going to do with the Coupons next?

    I mean, it's probably a lot cheaper to just give out coupons as prizes. And will coupons only be obtainable through the summer and winter sales or will there be special events, etc.? How likely are we to see the summer sale be very similar to the winter one in terms of prizes?

    That's a cool story.

    I'm sure the braintrust at Valve have dailies and Midweek Madness carefully crafted between now and the expiration date of the coupons so they can't get completely worked over if folks have a good coupon which would stay on the top of a sale.
