    Considering this time period is the only time during the week where I get my FPS fix I have the right to whine.

    Bless your heart.

    If you don't own it, you'd better.

    Er...what is it? It looked vaguely PA-Adventures like the other day, but the Steam Store appears to be down right now, so I can't dig up some detail.

    P.B. WInterbottom is basically a much less pretentious version of Braid, in that it's essentially a puzzle game that initially appears to be a platformer. It's well worth checking out for that price, unless (like me) you're not a fan of that type of game.

    I can sympathize with you if Steam was down for an extended period of time, but it's down for 5 minutes and you're all Grrr and stuff already?

    Abuse the power of time-travel for the sole purpose of obtaining pie.

    That's the gist of it anyway.

    I can vouch for PB Winterbottom. It isn't quite as long as braid (Whenever I get around to finishing the last level I will probably clock in between two and three hours), but it works off the braid formula. Each world has a special gimmick and you use a "recorded clone" gimmick to solve the puzzles.

    The humor is really fun and I think this is a sweet price for the game. Plus it has the best plot: You are a pie thief! There is a magic pie that is causing problems with time/space! BUT YOU MUST HAVE IT! Plus the game is narrated in a "silent movie" style and most of it rhymes.

    For some reason I always assumed PB Wintebottom was some kind of Professor Layton knockoff. Now you people are telling me it's a less pretentious Braid?

    BOUGHT'd!

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    Then again, I am behaving Goosey so I apologize. I get Grr and Stuff when Steam shits the bed causing me my multiplayer not to work so I shouldn't have jumped on ya. It's a reflex action I think, due to people loving to bash Steam, and I personally, Love Steam for all that it provides me, and with what little hassle I receive from them. But yes, Down times is a pain in the ass. And the "Store is being hammered" is quite interesting, as it's been severely hammered during the big sales and hadn't seen that message pop up before.

    The difference between Braid and Winterbottom is that, while Braid required no platforming skill / fast reflexes / quick thinking, Winterbottom does.

    This does sound very intriguing. Braid was not my thing. But this sounds pretty good.

    There is snow outside and it's dark and I've been working all day and rode my bike home through the snow and now Steam is broken and I'm getting bored browsing Reddit.

    No, we're not going outside, dammit.
