    What're the odds that we can get official Classy Crab skins worked in as DLC for Dungeon Defenders?
    I want a classy crab in "On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode Three" myself.
    As a NPC perhaps? Familiar? Summon?

    Wasn't there a crab merchant in Morrowind who had way more cash than most shopkeepers or would sell rare/powerful gear or something?

    Damnit Uplink just screwed me over. I tried to hack some network and got 2 warnings saying to stop and that I had to pay a fine of 1000 credits for each violation, so 2000 credits. Well apparently you can't send them 2000 credits at once and it needs to be 1000 credits and then another 1000 credits. That's bullshit.

    Not really Steam related but:


    Indiefort bundle hosted by Gamersgate is live: http://indiefort.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle-1?caff=3884871


    Kenshi (Alpha)
    Steel Storm Burning Retribution
    Wanderlust: Rebirth
    Cardinal Quest
    Devil Whiskey
    Black Market

    6 games for 6 bucks minimum, though you can pay more and the money goes straight to the devs (Gamersgate won't take a cut of it). They also have several tiered bonuses. The Cardinal Quest soundtrack is already unlocked, and there are like 5 more that could (some are based on units sold, and some are based on money made) including it looks like a couple of future games by the devs.



    Anyways, I own Cardinal Quest and Steel Storm from other sites, so if anyone wants either of those and maybe can't afford or doesn't want the bundle, let me know.

    Fallout is FREE for the next 48hours on gog.com
    DRM-free though, so no Steam :p

    This. One of the best games of all time, and free! Free!

    Also, I have decided to purchase CK2 later. What's a good starting leader to avoid being horribly overwhelmed? I'm told Ireland is a good call, but is there a particular Irish leader I should take?

    Yeah, that's probably going to be me when I get home from work. Or at the very least it will happen some time this weekend.

    I only have so much self control, and I haven't built and shuffled-up a Blue-Fuck-You deck since I opened up a Braids, Conjurer Adept and an Akroma, Angel of Fury during Planar Chaos and proceeded to rip bitches apart in MTGO.

    Yeah, I was really hoping it was going to be one of the Infinity Engine games, but the original Fallout is one helluva consolation prize.

    yeah... you don't really build decks in the game. they sort of just give them to you. you can unlock a few extra cards per deck by winning with them though but that's about it. Fun when I want to scratch that card game itch. Not when I want to scratch that deck building itch though

    Am I the only one thinking this Grimrock game would be better if it was turn based?


    I do but I think "This should be turn based" about almost everything.

    I'd like to see more turn based games show up in genres that are traditionally realtime.

    A turn based racing game based on random dice rolls and a hand of game-specific cards with RPG elements for upgrading your driver/car is the game I would make if I ever became a guy who makes games.

    Ever heard of Car Wars?

    I have never, ever, ever seen a game cause more ruined friendships or table-flipping rage than that game.

    Good lord, I love Car Wars. :D

    I ... fishtail turn ... which lines up my autocannon ... and ... yep, your car explodes. Nice game!
    I had a Car Wars turning key that I carved out of plastic on my key chain. My mom thought I had joined a gang or something.

    Okay, I'm going to start getting ready for work, so I'm reposting my contest for a free copy of Blur. All you have to do is photoshop the Classy Crab, our great representative, into your favorite racing/car movie! Easy! Just send me a message with your submission, and tonight when I get home from work i'll send off a copy of Blur to the winner! And maybe share a few here :D


    Also super thanks to @HiT BiT for this snazzy new avatar. As a one time rat owner and a Mexican I think it fits great. :)

    No older EA games require origin (they might make you create an EA or origin account but not run the client). The only stuff that requires it are their last couple releases (and stuff bought on their site obviously).

    I dislike the MtG chops up stuff and then release a bit here and a bit there. When I saw it all in a bundle, I thought "Why not?".

    This is the Full Deck unlocks and Foil Conversions bundle. It's pretty cheap but I would advise NOT to buy it unless you want the full decks straight away.
    Half the fun in the game is winning duels and earning new unlocks and then tweaking the deck with the new cards. And the foil is just shiny cards but you can't really opt out since it comes with that bundle.

    edit: Just to clarify, I'm referring to the "Magic 2012 Gold Deck Bundle". The 3 Deck packs and the expansion are "real" DLCs with new decks, cards and content.

    Hmm... I don't know whats going on with that indiefort bundle, but all I'm getting is domain not found. How strange.

    In regards to Ys... perhaps its asking the wrong crowd, but I'm undecided about whether or not to pick it up on Steam, or to download it from PSN and play it on my vita. Vita has the portability, which is nice, but as it recently came out on Steam, I assume there are shiny new things that I might miss out on?

    If I recall correctly some of the decks in the double packs for MTG suck. Does anyone remember which ones those are? I'm not so much a completionist that I need to download a bad deck and grind it out just because it's there, but if some of the decks are really fun to play I'd be happy to pick them up.

    (even though i haven't played it in months and probably won't for more months)

    @Iolo @Docken Thanks for the giveaways! 2 of PA's finest!

    Also, I see that Crusader Kings 1 Complete is on sale also for 4 dollars. Is that a good alliterative to buying the second one? I've heard you guys talk about it and it sounds amazing, but I figured I could buy this one and hold off until a summer sale for the second if I love the first.

    I know I'm late here, but I really don't recommend CK1. Last year I would have, but now it looks more like a prototype or demo of CK2. It feels very obfuscated, like it's always more slow and difficult to do something than it should be. Whereas CK2 is much more open and inviting, and even though it's difficult to get into like all Paradox games, it's their most beginner-friendly game yet.
