Have you guys made any plans for what you're going to be streaming yet?
I've got a few ideas, for a stream this long I'm trying to decide between games that I want to play and games that will keep me awake. For some hours of it I plan on playing some local co-op games with my significant other like Lego Batman which has been in my backlog for a while or a few others I have picked up during the sale. If I start to get sleepy though I am going to switch to some twitchy games to keep me awake like trying to beat some high scores of @rikdaly in Pinball FX2 or possibly a music game like sequence or something.
I have never attempted a stream anywhere near this length but I'm looking forward to it, I just hope I don't end up falling asleep with people watching.
So @Unco-ordinated decided to take matters into his own hands, or something of that sort
Good lord, dude. I surrender.
It's that long because I use it to keep track of things I think might look like fun. I have a pretty shitty memory so i'd forget otherwise. Also I haven't had a job in 2 years so it's kind of piled up.
Thanks again.
No problem, man. I was jobless for most of last year, so I know how it feels. Just have fun playing those games, especially Gone Home.
When you talk to the beagle he gets excited and starts running around and rubbing up against you. Look at the face in my avatar, how could anyone be mean to that face?
I'm biding my time until tomorrow. You'll probably see more really obscure indie games then.

It's not Valve fudging the numbers so much as whatever formula they have running for the event will give a massive weight increase to teams that haven't won yet.
Which makes me wonder what the whole point of the competition is when they could just randomly give away X games and day and achieve the same effect.

Obviously, the recommendation of everyone in the thread is "Serve the Newell, buy both!".
This isn't a money thing but more of a "I have too many games." thing.
I'm not sure I know what that's like. My library pales in comparison to some people here.
To be fair, so does your hitlist wishlist.

I tried to get my wife to apply for that job; she had just finished her PhD when it opened up. She said she didn't want to use her skills for manipulation.
I don't know why people are getting worked up over the Summer Adventure. Unless you know the odds of winning for you as an individual, then it's always safe to assume the odds are not in your favor. Even state run lotteries disclose the exact odds of winning and is much more transparent. In comparison, we don't really know much of the Valve system.
In the meantime, probably safest to just treat the Summer Adventure as an extra bit of fun and keep on buying deep discount games. Although, this year's deep discounts have been a bit bland compared to previous years'... c'mon Bethesda, what's the deal with Wolfenstein?!

Bit the bullet on Cloudbuilt (because it IS 75% off already and only $5).
Learning to not boost is so challenging. And then you play the challenge mode of a level with INFINITE BOOST.
Also, unlocked all-pink color scheme. I think I know why @Pixelated Pixie has this?
Enemies are... bullshit? I kid, there's clearly nothing random, but god damn working around them makes life harder. I'm satisfied with just getting a B rank right now.
So, I finished up GTA V on my PS3 last night. And while I enjoyed it, I have to admit the sheer random nature of Saints Row 2 continues to make me smile. Arstotzka is a "fun" place to work, but Stillwater is oh so sweet when I go up on the sidewalk and the pedestrians go bumb bump bump.
To @IdolNinja , I'm sure you've gotten this hundreds of thousands of times, but thank you so much for the Gentlemen of the Row mod. You and your team have made this PC Master Race member smile in joy.
Betrayer managed to get a pretty good scare out of me. The game had been sort of tense and creepy from the beginning but mostly in the quiet solitude. Wind blowing etc. There's enemies around but they're spaced fairly far apart. I was getting a bit stuck in the first area. You have to hunt around the map a bit to find clues. The main way to find those clues is listening for a sound. So I had the sound up a decent amount. Eventually it felt like I'd scoured the whole map, but still couldn't progress to the next area. Finally I thought I should try exploring more with an alternate viewpoint on things turned on.
When I found the trigger to progress the resulting noises were really freaky at that volume.
Also Madican redirected a gift from Isy to the raffle. So Outlast has been added to the potential prizes for the Child's Play donations raffle.
So anyone who has donated $5 or more so far from this drive or before the end on Friday morning, has a shot at a $50 steam card, Outlast, Remember Me, Dead Rising 3, or a level 2 summer sale DOTA thing.
As is traditional during the sale, I'm buying games on Steam and completely ignoring them while I play through stuff that I've had for nearly a decade but never got around to.
It is a travesty of the highest order that Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction never got a PC release.

Only 82% completion 'cause I got lazy about the collectibles near the end.
That means I can add at least 2 more to the backlog now right?
