    And just like that, another brave soldier is crossed of the wishlist through a random act of class:

    Thanks @Ed Gruberman for Sigmund Freud: Tell Me About Your Werewolf, the Austrian game of monster psychoanalysis!

    <Whisper-whisper>

    What? Oh . . . let's try this again:

    Thanks @Ed Gruberman for Sang Froid: Tales of Werewolves, the Canadian game of monster hunting!

    (Now The List is one name longer. And soon, very soon, it shall be several names shorter . . . . )

    Ok, I have been thinking about possible new stretch goals for the charity drive I could help with. Maybe at $5,000? $5,500? Both?
    Maybe something a bit similar to Veevee's avatar stretch goal. But for that I would need at least a volunteer. o:)

    The idea would be that people who donate between now and the stretch goal would propose and/or vote an avatar composition(s) for the volunteer(s).
    Then I would try to make it/them according to the results of the voting and the volunteer would need to used for at least...let's say... maybe a month?
    What do you think? Any volunteers in the room? :#

    @Hit Bit : It seems to me like my old avatar went away, I had it since 2005. I would wear whatever you made.

    Sang Froid is fun! The only problem I have with it is that they went... a real weird direction in the story-telling.

    Like it is difficult to tell if the description "these wolves, however, are being controlled by The Devil" is supposed to be serious or comedic. There's a really weird tone struck in a lot places.

    That said all the trapping stuff is great, they're pretty much all involved in a way that makes you feel cool for getting the drop on enemies rather than just calculating the necessary DPS to kill everything without even being there.

    Take a moment to donate what you can to Critical Resistance and Black Lives Matter.

    Dunno, that Electrocutioner boss fight in Origins was pretty amazing! :grin:

    Crap I meant Origin had better bids fights.

    Yeah, I was going to say. Origins has the Deathstroke fight, and I can't think of anything in Asylum or City that matches it with the possible exception of the Aquarium boss that I won't name because the reveal is awesome, or Mr. Freeze.

    Good luck... because once the installer is done doing its bit, then you have to wait for the launcher to carry on with many gigs of patching as well.

    And potential congratulations to Rochelle, if anybody can help identify just who they are. We don't have any mutual Steam friends, and I can't seem to find anybody with a similar name on the forums who isn't a ghost. Might be looking at a reroll on Typing of the Dead unless somebody can point me in the right direction.

    Nonsense. Every dollar counts. Every dollar that gets put in is a dollar that Child's Play didn't have before. Some of you guys might think that your small donations aren't significant. Well, a snowflake might not look very significant at first glance, but you get enough of them together and it's an avalanche.

    GoG has a deep sale on the Spiderweb Software RPGs. All of them for $7.
    That is probably a couple thousand hours of classic WRPGs for the price of a burrito...
    They aren't as whizz-bang flashy as Skyrim, but they are crafted with love. Less like playing a summer blockbuster and more like playing a D&D campaign crafted by a good friend.

    Dudes and Dudettes if you give a flying fuck about oldschool CRPGs than you need to put your wallet into Stacksimum Overdrive and jump on this right quick.

    I know you don't want to listen to me because I'm the guy your mother warned you about, but if you ever decide that there will be one time during your adventure here on Crom's green Earth when you will take my advice than let this be that time.

  • SteevLSteevL What can I do for you? Registered User regular
    Anyone starting to make a list of games they're going to purchase on the last day of the sale in the event those games don't get a daily/flash/community vote? I usually do this, but I've been keeping myself in check this sale and there hasn't been much I really want. That being said, Diehard Dungeon is the only game I have on the list so far, and it's currently already cheap at $1.69. Nothing else stands out to me so far.

    yeah, it's the launcher I meant. 17GB!! ouch, still if it carries on at this speed it should be done in 2 hours which will give me time to play a little

    Secret World Massive Editon, so tempt, much want. I may not get around to playing it for a long time, but 75% is the lowest I've ever seen it from multiple Steam season sales. Should I even if I might not get around to it for a year or so?

    I've got the Glitchspace and Rocksmith 2014 DLC that I'm keeping an eye on since it's almost all 25% but that's about it. Other than that, there is nothing else I'm willing to pay current sale price for that I'm not willing to wait for cheaper in the future.

    If I get all the DLC I'm looking at, though, that's almost $40 though.

    Right now my end of sale list is Baldur's Gate II and Transistor. Got just enough left in the tank to make it happen if they don't get further deals before the end.

    I like TSW but I haven't played in a while because of FFXIV. The first zone has an amazing narrative drive and feel. I felt like the second zone lost some of that though. There was a lot going on but it felt like too many different directions at once to really be cohesive

  • cckerberoscckerberos Registered User regular
    I'm tempted by the TSW Massive bundle for the DLC, and I really shouldn't be. I haven't even looked at that game in at least a year and never finished the content I already had. What strange magic does the Steam sale have!?

    That one seems to show up every Steam sale. Would be surprised if it didn't again.

    Which reminds me I should finish Ys I (and then start Ys II :P) which was pretty great.

    I kinda have my eye on Coldfire Keep and Eschalon: Book 1 so far--heard those Eschalon games are good, so I thought I might jump in.

    Was hoping for a sale on Gauntlet and Neo-Scavenger, but it looks like they are sitting this sale out. Also hoping for a better sale on Injustice: Gods Among Us (totally missed it 2-3 weeks ago when it was just seven bucks!)

    It looks like it allows me to buy it for myself, even though I have the base game on steam (and all those DLC anyway)
