I remember Borderlands quite vividly. In fact, I still need to beat Moxi's Dome and kill that giant bug-crustacean thing, but I had been waiting for co-op to come back to do that and got sidetracked with backlog.

Coop is still down? I thought they were supposed to patch it back within a month.
I told myself I wasn't gonna get any more games until I cleaned my backlog out a bit (hah!) but then I saw that Sunless Sea is out of Early Access and officially released on Feb. 6th.
Thing is, if you buy it while it's still in Early Access, you get any future DLC for free. So I couldn't pass on that.

That's a good thing to mention. I bought it while in EA for that reason alone, but I still had the discipline to hold off on playing it until release! I'm really looking forward to Friday.

Well, if it comes back, I'll help you kill Crawmerax, @Kalnaur.
Thanks for spoilering, destroyah and bloodatonement!

I will totally take Iolo up on his offer. I'm "off" for today and the next two days, barring an appointment today at 2:40 (PST). I've also got Moxi's Dome, and one final run through Knoxx's armory for treasures.

So I've been playing around with X Plane 10 some since the sale, learning about some general aviation stuff and expanding the sim with some community features. The most notable group I've found is XPFR, an association of French speaking content creators who have made some fantastic free planes and scenery for X Plane. The French have long had a love affair with aviation, perhaps because France is so lovely from the air.
X Plane is a pretty fantastic program, and the thing that has really surprised me is just how easy it is to mod in new scenery and planes. This isn't an easy process for most flight sims, especially many of the older sims that were made during the genres golden age. This isn't the case with X Plane. It's as simple as downloading an archive and extracting a folder into the appropriate location in X Plane. And there are some really fantastic and fun planes produced totally free by the community, such as the Sbach 300 I'm flying in the previous pictures. It's an aerobatic plane with about 95% carbon composite construction and it makes you feel like Batman.
Or you can just jump in with one of the trusty classics that comes standard with the simulation and get a new perspective on your home.
Flight sims are awesome. I know some of you guys must have picked up MS Flight Sim X or maybe some DCS World stuff during the Winter sale. Come by @GnomeTank's totally awesome flight sim thread and fly some planes with us!

For sure, come on over and lets turn and burn. If you have DCS World and want to learn to fly the Eagle, let me know. I'd be willing to give a crash course. Inquire in the Flight Sim thread!
It seems returning to FTL is not like riding a bike. I remember a few things, but explosions and "whoops, forgot to fix the 02 supply before everyone chokes yet again" are not unusual ways for the game to end.

Remember, Asphyxia is just nature's way of telling you the fire will soon be out.
Sunless Sea comes out of Early Access in 2 days. If you think you might like it, if you buy it in EA (or you kickstarted it) you'll get lifetime access to DLC, and they're already committed to at least 1 expansion from the kickstarted.
Also didn't know Deathtrap was by the Van Helsing guys. Figures they'd move on to make a flat out tower defense game after how the VH series has moved toward that more and more. Got a coupon for 20 percent off, presumably for owning the VH games. Wonder if it's any good, might use a coupon for once.

I just woke up to this this morning, huzzah! I'm glad it got there in (mostly) one piece and only a few dings. I've got another duo piece in the works with Rakya and Skroig but I think I'll keep that one for my wall
Holy shit! Mortal Kombat X is up for preorder! FUCK YES. I love MK. I just really really really really really really really really (Really) hope that the fucking NETCODE WORKS THIS GODDAMN TIME. FUCK.
Im angry about MK9 again. FUCK.

Oxygen is a privilege, not a right. I mean, look at Ensign Lanius over there - he's flourishing in this environment!

MK is like... my guiltiest of guilty pleasures, but I'm balking a bit at the price. £35 for the game itself is okay, but £25 for 4 (mystery!) DLC characters seems really high.
Might just wait for the Komplete Edition to come out.

The Great Chat Gifting War day 1,267: I ventured out to get essential supplies (soda, chocolate, toilet paper), but had to cut trip short as the daily hostilities broke out earlier than usual. @Shade propaganda blared across the region, but was quickly silenced by coalition of @destroyah87 and @ReverseCreations cannon fire. This battle was more sporadic than usual and had to deviate my route several times to avoid random gift bombings, but made it back to safety of bunker relatively intact. I managed to grab a six-pack of soda and handful of Hershey's Kisses, but unfortunately looks like the phone book in the bathroom will get a little thinner today. One of @Shade propaganda bots followed me home and I am waiting for the right moment to rush out and bash it with a hammer.

Count me in too, if you guys do it on the weekend. I played through just enough of Mad Moxie's DLC to go "Nope, not going to solo the rest of that."
@MechMantis is now committing war crimes against me by drone striking me with Deus Ex. I have requested emergency security council meeting at the U.N. in New York.
I know there's a few of you who've been keeping an eye on The Golf Club like I was and yet none of you on my friends list have picked it up. I suspect like me you saw mediocre reviews when it came out of early access combined with a fairly high price tag and like me you balked.
Might I suggest shifting your attention to Perfect Golf? I noticed it the other day and decided to take a gamble because it had lots of positive reviews and it was cheaper to buy in now before the full release. I've played a full eighteen on all six courses now (I was gonna write something up about this Monday evening but then they fucked around and added the sixth course while I was at work) and am having a lot of fun with it so far. It's definitely still rough, I'd like to use their motion swing thing but currently the swing animation doesn't change at all to give you feedback midswing so I'm sticking with the traditional three click for now. There's also no lie indicator yet so if you're in the rough or the sand you kinda have to just guess and hope for the best. And no controller support which is something they're not even sure that they'll be trying to implement at all yet. Not a deal breaker for me but I'd definitely rather use a controller.
What's there plays really nicely though and feels very authentic. You can request flybys at any time but when you go to aim your shot it won't allow you to change the camera angle. This is by design forcing you to hit blind shots over hills or boulders or whatever so building up your course knowledge is definitely gonna be important. The three click swing works just fine and shaping your shots is a breeze. It took me awhile to get my touch down with my wedges but I've got a few chip-in birdies and one chip-in eagle now. No hole in ones yet though. There's a nice spread in difficulty in the courses they have so far, about three courses in I felt like I had it down (that's where most of my chip-ins were) but then the last two courses threw some real devious shit at me and I had several blow up holes. Golf course designers might be worse trolls than DMs. Fortunately the newest course slots in right after the first for difficulty so I got to get a decent score up last night. All your standard modes of play (stroke, match, skins, etc) are there along with a few I didn't recognize and need to look into. Not sure if they're something they came up with just for the game or if I found an area where my golf knowledge was weak. Haven't checked out online play yet, wanted to get my handles down first.
They're saying six to nine months until the full release and from what's there so far I'd say it's worth keeping an eye on. And if you're really fiending for a full on golf game like I was it might be worth jumping in now while it's cheap.

Ahh, sorry. Didn't even occur to me to be concern about spoilers. And even with the recent commentary of someone playing back through the Borderlands.
Edited my post and quoting of bloodatonement's post to indicate spoilerage.
That could be any number of things, I'm thinking.

What's new on Steam today?
Remember, Asphyxia is just nature's way of telling you the fire will soon be out.
Oniken is awesome.
Remember how last year everyone was all Shovel Knight this Shovel Knight that because they played the NES Ducktales game and have fond memories?
Oniken fulfills that same nostalgic longing but for people who have fond memories of playing Contra and Ninja Gaiden.
On to Gone Home.
