    Wow that was awesome! On a whim I fired off an email to the guy behind Ironclad Tactics to ask him what the plans for the additional campaigns looked like and if they had any plans to address the fact that people were finding it hard to find people to do the skirmish/nemesis stuff for bonus cards.

    Got an email back within hours, the additional campaigns are planned to hit 1.5 and 3 months out from now, costing $5 a pop and they are planning on adding a new game plus mode to the current game to let you get the bonus cards without needing another person.

    Nothing but respect for the guys behind the game now, that is awesome customer service. At work at the moment but, I would really like to give away a couple copies of the game to share the love and get some other people to enjoy the game. But, uh, I have no idea how this giveaway link thingies work. Anyone mind firing me off a PM to run me through the basics?

    Late on this but I also sing the praises of the Zach. I had a collection of indie titles that refused to boot on my machine in a similar way. After contacting the various teams the problem was solved by Zach and he was also the only person to reply. I think I've since given away ~10 copies of SpaceChem.

    Oh man, Saints Row 4...I think I already like it more than the Third. I just spent a good amount of money picking clothing for my The Boss.

    I'm role-playing her in my head, trying to pick clothes I like and clothes that I think what my idea of The Boss would actually wear. For example, no thongs because sometimes you want comfortable underwear and who is she trying to impress? She has a nice body but she doesn't need to flaunt it as a legitimate business woman and now POTUS, so she has on these purple pants that are flattering to her figure but still go down to the ankle.

    Also lots of purple, naturally.

    I know @Luchaire might.

    It's not a must-have, especially for the price, but to pick up later on for the fun of some of the alternate guns might be worth keeping in mind for when it goes on sale.

    User reviews are higher than critic reviews(55 critic/ 7.3 users)... and Culdcept Saga is one of my favorite games on Xbox 360 which is also a card based board game(interestingly also rated better by user reviews(75 critics / 9.0 users).

    Either way the bundle is only $3.60 so it's not like it costs much to check it out.

    Oh man, Saints Row 4...I think I already like it more than the Third.

    Saints Row 4 gave me so, so much of what I really and truly wanted out of a video game but wasn't even aware of that I was *this* close to prying out some of my teeth to check my fillings for mind-reading and transmitting devices. Luckily I got distracted by mowing down scores of innocent pedestrians yet again before I did too much damage to myself.

    You brostards, now I want SR4, need to finish SR3, and play Sleeping Dogs.

    Terraria has its grips deep, and I need to finish ME2. This is my 3rd attempt at 2, and I was doing so good until the terraria update dropped.

    Why do I even read this thread?

    I really want to like Terraria but the lack of controller support; particularly when it's right there on the XBLA version...I just can't play games like that with a keyboard. :(

    But yeah, I frequently mouse over the buy button for a SR4 key on Amazon, but then same thing, I remember SR3 and Sleeping Dogs and I decide against it.

    If you want a good zombie survival game in an open world area than you should be playing Stalker anyway.

    I figure it'll probably go cheaper during the winter sale. Just jonesing for something new. I'm hoping to pick up a 770 this month (hoping more that the price drop rumor on the 19th is true) and that comes with Arkham Origins.

    If nothing else, the naval combat in AC III alone damn near justifies a $12 price tag. Granted, one could make a counterargument that you could save that $12 and apply it to even *more* naval combat in the upcoming AC IV...

    That having been said, AC III is the best 'walking in snow simulator' that I've played so far. From the differing movements through varying depths of snow, to varying levels of agility in the snow from character to character, right down to the satisfying crunch of boots in the snow, I was really blown away by that aspect of the game.

    I'm just glad I played it about a month *before* the blizzards we had here last winter, rather than during; I'd likely have put my controller through the screen had that been the case.

    I had heard there were framerate issues with AC 3. Is there any truth to that? $7.50 will be my magic price for it, personally.

    Just wanted to point out more besmirchery. @Malakaius is describing a business transaction, wherein he gifted me Marlow Briggs as an equitable exchange for the above list of keys. I gifted in my own self-interests, hardly a 'gifting' at all, more of a simple exchange.

    Judging by some strings on the Steam Translation Server, Steam might be getting support for asynchronous multiplayer. Like Steam telling you if you have a turn ready in a game. I don't play any games with asynchronous multiplayer, but it'll probably make someone somewhere happy.

    So, a casual examination of my email inbox reveals to me that several things are clearly true:

    1. I now own Teleglitch
    2. I now own the Teleglitch Guns and Tunes DLC
    3. @Malakaius is a monster

    Whether there's any correlation between these various things, I leave to discerning readers to decide.

    I'd like to give a shout-out to @shdwcaster. You might recall that he ran a contest recently commemorating the death of Tom Clancy.

    Well, I already owned most of what he was giving away as prizes, but I, too, am a huge fan of the man and his work, and so I had to share my favorite Tom Clancy-related moment with him in commiseration.*

    Well, despite my entreaties not to be considered part of his contest, he still tossed a copy of Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. my way.

    Thanks, shdwcaster - and may you always keep an eye out for those Russian spies / Islamist terrorists / Colombian drug lords / disaffected militiamen.

    Teleglitch was on my wishlist because of @Drake
    Top down, visceral shooting in the vein of Quake.

    Resource management, crafting and gear customization in the style of System Shock.

    The permadeath and procedural generation of a roguelike.

    Now polished to a high gloss with even more content, better AI, better levels, more levels, more gear, more everything. This game is awesome.

    And now it's in my library because of @Adellios

    Curse you Drake! Thanks Adel!

    Then this morning, @Malakaius hits me with AC3! In response for calling him slow, he got me something I really should have picked up myself by now. Thanks, you poopy butthead.
