Greenmangaming.com came through and credited my account with £6. I have £9 worth if credit there now. Might pick up quantum conundrum for a pound more.

Don't buy the game? But it's fucking hilarious! The Mulwaukee Bocks, the Niw Jirsey Nits, the Dinver Noggets, the Uteh Jezz, the Niw Yar Knucks... I probably wouldn't be able to play the game because I'd be laughing too hard. Atlanta Hewks!

@Stealth XXIV your contest is awesome. Like a mini Acrophobia.
If I hadn't bought the indie gala five minutes before you posted it, I'd totally be entering.
Wait a sec...I'm going to get to the point that I can't have everything installed? But my library already seems so huge at 80ish!
Oh no, I mean there's some games I bought just cause they were $1 or something so I figured why not. I suppose I'd be hard pressed to install every game I own unless I split them onto multiple hard drives or upgraded to more than 1 terabyte drives though.
I'm in a similar state, but I find they generally make a point of having a mix of big(ger) ticket items at a good discount, and some smaller/indy ventures for super cheap, so sometimes I just end up spending a buck or two each day getting cheap indy ventures, especially if they're tied to quick/easy achievements for event participation tickets/coal/whatever.
Man, it feels good to have a library that's still perfectly manageable, i.e. I expect to play (if not necessarily like) every game in it.
If it didn't look so busted it'd be funny. I'd love to manage the Weshington Wuzards.
This is pretty much what is on the line every time you see outrage over one developer getting or not getting the official league license for various sports. There's so much at stake there, because at the very least, people aren't going to want to play as Kelvin Dorant of the Thonder. It is a Big Deal if the line is drawn at vague similarities or deliberate misspellings. Of course, the CGA-tier PC graphics are an even bigger deal, but you get my meaning.

So far I think I'll play everything in mine - but there were a few games in bundles that I'm not sure on yet. I bought the indiegala one for the Void and Cargo so I'm not sure how much I'll play the Commandos series for example. Obviously I'll at least try everything.

Thanks! I'll be sure to make another of the same kind with a different prize later on, I'm just anxious to get five people together so I can make a trial run.
Edit: Speaking of which, only three more entrants needed now, woo!
NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Thursday evening I will be driving 14 hours to visit family and won't have access to my computer then!!!
Phone?
I don't have one of those new fangled intelligent phones.

Hmm, L.A. Noir for $5, a nice pre-Summer Sale nugget that I'll jump on.
No matter where you go...there you are. ~ Buckaroo Banzai
damn you LA Noire why do you have to be on sale when I have no money? I'm pretty sure it will be the same price in the summer sale though, is the DLC worth the extra £1.25?
also I just finished Hydrophobia and it wasn't too bad, it would have been a lot better without the shooting really but overall I'd say I enjoyed it. Now I need to decide which mediocre game to play next
Holy cow, Aliens vs Predator is the daily! It's my understanding that I was in the minority regarding this, but I really enjoyed the game on my PS3. Has anyone played it on PC? I'm interested in how good the quality of the port is.
Likewise for L.A. Noire, I'd give it a shot if there's nothing technically wrong with it.

Its cheaper stateside! $5 there I believe. Every penny helps!

Complete Edition (w/ DLC) is $7.49, so pretty much the same on either side of the pond.

I haven't played it, but I remember reading in this thread that the L.A. Noire port is more or less terrible.
Four more entries still open - send me a PM to join.
I give you random letters - you make up funny phrases with those letters as the initials.
All players collectively vote for the best entries, but do so anonymously - you don't know whose entry you're voting for or who voted for yours.
If you're not interested in the contest, or would be if something were different (for example, the prize), I'd still love to hear what you think. I find this forum game really fun (I used to play a real-time, bot-driven version on IRC), and I'd like to do what I can to help it take off.
Edit: fixed BBCode
Sent a PM to enter. Honestly, the ridiculously lengthy explanation was part of what drew me to it.
I am in the business of saving lives.

I like how the DLC maps for AvP are showing up at regular price. Buy the game for $3, get the maps for 5x that amount.

I've played Alien Vs Predator and the port seems fine to me, I quite enjoyed it too
Dungeons and Dragons Online is on Steam now too. Got a starter package deal just like LotRO did. It's fairly fun. No idea if the starter package thing is actually a good deal though.
I have LA Noire on the PS3 already so I'll probably skip that one - but AvsP I'm kind of tempted to go with. It's kind of hard not to get $2.99 of enjoyment out of a game...anyone have any experience with it?

The Half-Orc pack isn't too bad, but the $50 monstrosity is overpriced.
You can save nearly $20 buying that shit with Turbine Points, especially if you keep an eye-out for sales on said points.

Haha, that's good to hear. I can't help it; when I'm in rules lawyer mode I like to define things as exactly and clearly as possible. It sort of surprised me that I could boil down the rules down to those four points when I realized people's eyes just might glaze over when they see my Goddamn megapost.
With MegaMan001 on board that leaves two more open slots now.

If you're at all a fan of Aliens, I recommend it solely for the opening act of the Marine campaign. In the right mood, it's fucking terrifying.
I still never got around to playing the multi, or the other campaigns. If it gets a little popularity boost, probably gonna give it another go.
Oh brilliant

AvP is pretty fun - although I got bored with it toward the end. The plot is a little ridiculous, and each race plays the same storyline from their perspective. Graphically, it is phenomenal.

And perhaps it will get a boost, because you just gifted this to me! Or you gifted it a while ago, I dunno, I was reading a book and not paying attention to my PC.
BUT. Let it be known that @Dark Raven X is full of class, and in fact I would Photoshop a thank you for AvP except that the perfect picture already exists:
I remember last year when L.A. Noire was on 75% off sale for $7.50. Even though I already have it on the 360, I would have gotten it on steam, but didn't. Hope it comes on sale again!
EDIT: WHOOPS, never mind. Apparently its on sale now. NICE! Gonna get that complete edition.
EDITEDIT: Oh wait, I heard there was some problems with starting up this game on steam. Did they fix that yet or what?

That's a good deal on LA Noire, and I've been waiting on it, but it's not a good time right now. Hopefully it'll hit the same price during the summer sale. If the summer sale goes later in July this year, I might actually have a budget for it! (birthday in early August)
Another quick DXHR question. I'm leaving Detroit, and the dialog for "let's go" has a warning regarding unfinished sidequests. I don't have any sidequests listed in the menu; does it always say that, or am I missing something?
