A better comparison to Bad Rats would probably be Vanguard Princess with its "fanservice DLC."
I think Vanguard Princess is actually a somewhat decent fighter? Like nothing stunning or anything but stuff works like it's supposed to and all. Bad Rats can't make any claims to quality at all.
Yeah I think you'd have to pick an actually bad game to stack up against Bad Rats, instead of something that's simply embarrassing to play in polite company.
So in a little less than 2 weeks, hopefully my son will have his first laptop. He's currently more than halfway to his goal, with some toy and Pokemon card sales pending that should put him over the edge. Truthfully even if he doesn't make it, we'll chip in and he can pay us back just so I can get my PC back from Minecraft. Is it wrong that I really want to make his first game on the brand new Steam account I'll be setting up for him Bad Rats?

You're teaching him the valuable lesson that nothing is entirely positive.
Clearly nothing bad can be taken away from this lesson.

Is that the Steam equivalent of a chicken pox party? Immunize them young by getting them the infection when it's (supposedly) least dangerous?

Let this be a lesson to you. You can be completely subpar at what you do, and produce something that is an embarrassment to your entire industry, but if you do it right, you can make a product so awful people will throw money at you hand over fist in order to spite gift each other.
If you can't be the best, at least be good. If you can't even be good, be the absolute worst.
Fraud is the best activity, what are you talking about? Oh, you haven't figured out the trick.
The trick is, you start super-sprinting then jump in the air and then ragdoll while in midair and go flying across the city and bounce about ten times before coming to a stop.
And if you don't feel like chasing the golden orb around, you can just keep fucking dudes up until a warden shows up. Kill him and no more enemies.
Yeah, I was doing it wrong. I was just standing in one of those circles and just getting hit and trying to bounce around off of that.

Failing spectacularly enough to leave an indelible impression that others just have to share is a time-honored strategy. I just wasn't used to seeing it outside of, like, fanfiction and Youtube stunts.
I think I'm numb to it by now, but every now and then I snap back into what I presume is a sane mindset and I die a little bit over how successful Bad Rats has been.

I mean Goat Simulator does more or less the same thing. It's just not as offensive because they're doing it on purpose.
Shoes are overrated. But zombies! One can never have too many zombies. Or zombie games. Or zombie games about infinite zombies. (this spiral just keeps going)

#1 I am sad I do not have the processor to run FC3:Blood Dragon because it looks like the exact sort of game the Shadowrun FPS should have been, but with more aircraft.

As you should I really wanted to participate in that conversation but I couldn't find the Futurama reference I wanted (YouTube failed me!). I'll just post the script:
Fry: Hm, Spider, Hubble, Nitrogum ... ooh, Big Pink! It's the only gum with the breath-freshening power of ham. Bender: And it pinkens your teeth while you chew.
Yeah I think you'd have to pick an actually bad game to stack up against Bad Rats, instead of something that's simply embarrassing to play in polite company.
So I was going to sleep and then Company of Heroes started downloading Ardenne's Assault and I promised to just play the first mission.
It's now 3AM and I didn't just play the first mission. Don't really want to say much about it yet because I've not toyed around with the campaign mechanics that are the meat of the expansion but so far the presentation's great (as always with CoH) and the missions are enjoyable to blast through even if they've being pretty simple aside from the first randomly generated one (which left me wondering how exactly the player they're trying to teach basic cover mechanics to in the mission literally just prior to that one is supposed to handle that but oh well).
Yeah I think you'd have to pick an actually bad game to stack up against Bad Rats, instead of something that's simply embarrassing to play in polite company.
Edit: I really do love the fact that the feedback for Bad Rats is "Mostly Positive". That's a wonderful level of evil right there.
Legendary is great, everybody should play it.
This is a completely, 100% honest post by the most upstanding Legendary player in the history of the steam thread.
God help me, but I am morbidly curious how someone could make shooting werewolves and other fantasy stuff not fun. To the point where I'm tempted to get the game and record my dwindling sanity as the game drains my will to live.
Then I remember that means paying the people that made the game and I come to my senses.
So, 90 minutes into This War of Mine. Up to Day 6.
Jesus Christ guys this game is excellent.
The atmosphere is fantastic, the pacing perfect. It feels like the balance is just right - I don't have that "this is hopelessly hard" feeling I get from some survival games, but at the same time there's a constant, pressing feeling like it could all go to shit any second now. Any. Second. Scavenging during the nights is an exercise in picking and choosing what you'll need most for the next day because goddammit why can't I carry ten boards, six boxes of parts, some moonshine, that broken guitar, and a refrigerator worth of food all at once? Balancing needs during the day is challenging. Someone has to be ready to go out at night. Someone has to do the cooking. Someone has to keep us stocked in tools (moar lockpicks ffs! And how's that crowbar coming, Bub!?).
Also, it could easily have the just one more [turn] day effect that has been known to keep people up WAY past bedtimes...
Wow, thank you so much! A wonderful surprise to come to after two days of 10 hour shifts! This is someone from the forums I believe? I'm still a newbie with how to look up names... but please let me know who you are! I hope during the holiday season I'll be able to gift someone with a game that they want!
BTW, gave up on the old thread, lots of personal stuff going on and such, almost neglected to mention that @The Pink Skull gifted me Contraption Maker, something I can play with mah kiddo! Thanks a ton, you're an awesome friend and gamer! Someone should do something about that, in fact. If anyone needs an excuse to hit up Pixel with some games, consider this fodder.

Getting back into Dead Space is just like slipping into a perfectly warm bath. Sure, it's a bath filled with viscera and used spinal columns, but still, perfectly warm and soothing after a long day of space engineering and stomping the everliving shite outta things.
The game feels like it's playing a touch sludgy, just a touch, but that may just be my imagination. i'd run a comparison, but my PS3version was sold to the used ages back, so *shrug* It's still as great as i remembered it.
Knock, knock! Candygram. Not a Land Shark. Oh crap, did i say that out loud?
Stomping space zombies has almost made up for the iPod going tits up in the most annoying way.

tl;dr: It's good. Really good.
When we were playing it I guess it was just good luck on RNG because by the end of the game we just started building things for fun because we had so much stuff. There are some trading mechanics that I guess we probably abused a bit, certain people will give a lot of stuff for some types of goods. We ended up just filling our house full of chairs, radios, guitars, and anything else that sounded like a luxury good just for fun. I think the hardest part of the game is the first half, and after that it just sort of drags on. By no means is it a bad game, but it could use some tweaking to make it really shine.

Dunno, i run it with a controller, 'cause i've never been able to hack KbaM on almost anything ('cept Nimble Quest, i rocked that KbaM-style).
Could just be what i'm playing on, it's just a dinky-Dell laptop, and i've had other games slowdown on me in the past. Actually....to think about it, anything that runs semi-realistic graphics will slow down here and there on me.
