    So like.. Since people seem to be splooshing over Prime World and Fez and such, sounds like I should give one of them away!

    So, MS PAINT TIME.

    Send me your bootiful MS paint art of... Hmm....

    'The coolest dolphin ever'

    Being related to the game you want in some fashion will get Bonus Points. Do indicate whether you want Fez or Prime World because even if you think the picture is clear, I am often dense.

    Edit: By send I mean PM of course. Just in case that wasn't clear. Usual rules apply. Etc, etc.

    Well @Banzai5150 just sent me a copy of this Showdown game thing? I dunno. Smash bros with guns? I guess? Anyway thanks a ton, it looks interesting.

    It is fun!

    It is also chaotic. And hard.

    There aren't quite words for just how bad at it I am right now. :P

    Not strictly Steam related, but Total War: Rome 2 has a release date of 3rd of September and I am full of excite, even if it is only May. Saints row 4, GTAV, EU4 and TW:R2 are gonna make the best couple of months ever.

    I now have a deadline for acquiring my new GPU!

    Though that is poor timing. The exact day (I think) that I start my new college semester.

    With you on that. It's around that time that I really ought to be making a start on my final-year dissertation. Shame it's Psychology and not History, eh?

    After 9 months of unemployment, I've secured a job offer. I start next Monday.
    This will be my first full-time, adult job.

    So it's giveaway time.

    Tell me (PM) stories of your first days at work. Did you do something dumb? Embarrassing? Awesome?

    I'm giving away a copy of NFS: Hot Pursuit and Serious Sam 3: BFE. Let me know which one you want.

    Rome 2 was on that list of upcoming AMD promos....But wouldn't it make sense to see the benchmarks first anyway?

    I've been playing CS:GO a lot lately. I started out doing pretty well, and then get creamed after my 6th competitive match. I abandoned a competitive match and am now barred for a week from competitive play...

    Does anyone still have extra Dota 2 keys? I'd like to send one to my brother, and I'd totally be willing to send you a game in return.

    EDIT: Taken care of! Thanks @Todesbart! and thanks @CorriganX for trying!

    Gamersgate is having a Bethesda sale. Rather than individual links, here's their publisher page:

    Bethesda Sale

    Notables:

    Dishonored - 15 bucks
    Skyrim -15
    Fallout New Vegas Ultimate - 10
    Rage The Scorchers DLC - 2.50 (mentioned mainly because it hasn't seen much sales).

    Used elder-geek.com to save 5 more percent

    This those are the best prices yet on Skyrim and Dishonored outside of strange deals at finnish websites. I think New Vegas Ultimate's been around that price before but not too often. Games are all Steamworks. Not sure how long the sale is, they don't have it actually announced, they're just discounted. Guessing a Weekend Sale.

    They're slightly cheaper on the UK site after the exchange rate, Skyrim and Dis become roughly 12 bucks, for instance. And Gamersgate has never really cared in the past what version of the site people use, your account even works on them all. Fallout is more expensive though, so use US site for that

    British Bethesda Sale

    It looks like Burnout Paradise is on sale as part of the NFS sale. If you like racing games at all, it's a really great one.

    That Gamersgate sale on Dishonored is awfully tempting.

    I think I'll have to pass on it

    already bought Borderlands 2 in that great sale there a few days ago and I really shouldn't be spending money

    or playing video games at the moment for that matter

  • DecoyDecoy Registered User regular
    And of course, Gamersgate can't bother to put the Dragonborn DLC on sale. At least not at the time of writing this.

    I "missed" GMG's 30 seconds worth of a sale on Dragonborn last week since they ran out of keys immediately, only to never get any back. That's a normal thing for GMG though, so I'm not really upset. You have to jump on their sales early in a lot of cases.

    I guess I'll give it another look in a few hours and see if it just hasn't updated yet. Snagging that and the new Dishonored DLC would be a good haul.

    I had the most amazing dream last night.

    Somehow Aquaria and Skyrim met, fell in love and had a baby. It was beautiful. An open-world RPG with oodles of depth (ha, geddit? ahem) in a mahoosive, stunning underwater setting. Swimmin' and explorin' and questin' and lootin' (and playing dress up) and all that jazz. And Steam in all their wisdom had just Greenlit it like a boss. DREAM GAME INCOMING.

    And then I woke up.

    Well balls, Steam caught up to me. Last night I was somehow able to hit buy on a GOI 4 pack.

    Now it wont let me do it.

    So no give away for you guys :P

    Guess I'll go buy more games for my own backlog.

    Trials Evolution PC related impressions - The frame rate issues mentioned earlier in this thread are definitely there, and for no apparent reason either as a quick restart (B button on the 360 controller) clears them right up.

    Otherwise things look pretty good. I've gotta check the audio settings next time I drop in to see if I can stop my dude going "Ye-heeeah!" every time I go over a big jump, though.

    Well, it seems that I'm not going to be purchasing a damn thing on the next sale. Lost my debit card, didn't realize until yesterday because I didn't use it, appears I lost it last week because someone has taken pretty much everything from it in chunks of daily 500 since last friday. I am such a goddamn idiot.

    Good thing I have two accounts, but still, that there was my entire scholarship. When I get back home today I'll see what I have in terms of steam-blowing games and spend the entire evening murdering dudes, I think.

    You don't have protection on that sort of thing? I used to think it was just for credit cards and that when debit cards got stolen you were shit out of luck. But the dude at my bank said they usually protect against exactly that sort of thing now.

    Either way, that fucking sucks, man. Presumably they also got your pin somehow?

    cooljammer is right, get onto your bank ASAP if you haven't already. It's in the banks best interest to recoup this, it's their money as much as yours and they want to keep you as a customer etc.

    I made it through Prime World: Defenders. That's the first time I've completed a game before it's been officially released. I definitely think that the game needs some balancing to move it away from being a grind, but the actual tower defense portions are more than fun enough. I'm apparently #60 on the leaderboard list for the game ATM; I confess that I've gone back to old levels with new towers to see what I can just blow up easy-mode.

    If I have any advice for anyone in that game, it's Dragon Towers and Rain of Fire. Just max out those two cards ASAP. Towards the end of the game you should probably get mortars, they're OK, but Dragon Towers are serious business.

  • DarkewolfeDarkewolfe Registered User regular
    I've been using the AOE tower that shoots outs blasts of knockdown air rather than the Dragon Tower. Is this not sustainable?

    What is this I don't even.
  • ShadowhopeShadowhope Baa. Registered User regular
    I have no idea. What I do know is that my Dragon Towers hit air and land, do 823 damage on hit plus 237.6 damage from the DOT without being upgraded. After upgrades, it's 3293 damage and 712.8 damage from the DOT. I don't know how much damage the knockdown towers are doing for you, but the range, versatility and damage of the Dragon Towers has dragged my sorry ass through the back half of the game.

    I had rain of fire early on, but ill advisedly fused it with something else before I realized how good it was.

    Haven't seen it since in fifteen hours play. :(

    I did get Meteor yesterday, though. That's been a good one to keep handy.

    Do dragon towers start hitting air after upgrades or something?

    I was pretty sure mine were ground only.
