    @cardboard delusions Thanks for Cortex Command which is both really awesome and hard. Like, I spent 30 minutes with it right before going to bed and in that short amount of time I was able to lose not one, not two, but three brains.

    Guys, All web related things on Steam have been complete shit to me the last week or two. Games and downloads are perfectly fine, but the store, the "NEW NEWS" popup and the whole community thing are just not loading. Also, it has put about 50 games on that "You have to convert this before doing anything" state...

    Any suggestions on how to fix the web thing?

    Delete everything but the steamapps folder and steam.exe and let it redownload? That seems to fix most of my Steam problems.

    I don't think there are any levels quite as insane as Odyssey. Maybe one or two at the end, but that is probably the longest level in the game.

    so I did my budget for this month and I think I can afford exactly one $10 game. No chance of getting Borderlands 2 or Dishonored for awhile sadly, but I've got a few betas to keep me busy as far as Major Gaming goes... Though there are 3 steam games I've wanted for awhile, and I can't decide which one I want.

    Half Minute Hero has had my attention ever since it first came out on PS3. I love the idea, it looks fun and hilarious, but I haven't owned a sony console since my old and busted PS2, so I could never play it myself. Extremely tempting.

    Closure is in the same boat, except that I got to play a demo build when it was one of the PAX 10 games a few years back. Love the art style, the puzzle mechanic, everything about it. After reading the Rock Paper Shotgun review, I only want it more.

    FTL needs no introduction. I love spaceships, I love roguelikes, I am definitely going to be getting this game pretty soon.

    If anyone has any arguments to sway me towards or away from any of these, I'm open for persuasion before I just roll a die or something.

    If you can only afford one I recommend FTL. Playing through again and again can last you quite a few hours and it is a solid roguelike.

    I'm gonna have to agree with FTL. Its ridiculous how much fun and addictive this game is.

    So I was thinking about picking up a cheap game on steam now that I'm semi-done with BL2 for the time being. I love roguelikes so I'm looking at FTL. But I see that castle crashers has been released on steam. How is that game? I hear about it all the time. I need guidance! Also I'm open to any other game thats within a 10-15$ range and is worth it.

  • minor incidentminor incident expert in a dying field njRegistered User regular
    Castle Crashers is the fucked up spiritual successor to Guardian Heroes.

    I hope I don't need to sell it any harder.



    That said, it's a 3 year old game, so it'll probably bottom out during a sale like Nick Nolte in Tijuana.

    I hope so, but that game has stood the test of time in regards to its never dropping in price.

    Well never low enough to matter, but I suppose it _is_ a 3 year old game on Steam...

    I know it's pretty popular but personally I found Castle Crashers an utterly boring hackfest. Then when you beat the game you unlock a new character with marginally different abilities and you can slog through the whole thing again repeatedly until you've unlocked all 7,000 characters weeeeee.

    YES it is. Half Minute Hero is quite a bit of fun, but FTL is so the winner in your little competition. I've played more of it than Borderlands 2 :P

    Selling moment for me?

    I'm one jump away from escaping the first system. I killed a pirate ship in location with a solar flare. The flare knocked out my sensor-system with a fire. I send 2 of my 3 crew members to put out the fire and repair the sensor while the third makes the jump to a safe system.

    The fire gets put out, the sensors repairs, and ship cameras reveal that there is a whole lot of fire in the rest of the ship. Crew scrambles to start putting it out, but it's a losing battle. I get too slow on cycling them to the medical bay and lose one of my 3 to the flames.

    Then I get smart, get them both inside the medical bay, and open up the airlocks and every non-medbay door in the ship to starve the fire. I know this was in the tutorial, but I totally forgot it until the last second epiphany where it saved me.

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    This might be a dumb question but I bought the Sims 3 on Steam. I can still buy retail add ons for it, correct? I don't need to keep buying via Steam if I find a good deal on a retail copy of something do I?

    Don't think so, no. I do think you can plug the keys into Origin though.

    Seeing as how there's an Equestria Kingdom in the Steam Workshop, I'm pretty sure you can find (or make) an Imperium of Man as well.

    And I will download it (when I get a copy of CiV)

    I was pleasantly surprised by that game, I will say. I expected another mindless Gears of Duty clone only with robots, and a lot of "robots are evil" drivel. What I got was... not super stellar or anything, but definitely much better than expected.

    You will probably need to re-download the game from origin though, so if you don't have the best connection, that's something to watch out for.

    Because people still buy it.
