    Man, you really do have everyone's birthday.

    Not true.

    Yeah. Some I can only narrow down to small windows... like, say, oh I dunno.... F3rret's is sometime between June 20th and June 30th.

    For people like that that, I just put them in the spreadsheet as "celebrates birthday for 10 days straight."

    So, what's your entry for me?

    I just realized I am so close to hitting the 1K games mark.
    So, I decided to make a full graph of my backlog evolution thorough the years using the info provided by the "licenses and product key activations" in Steam.
    It was a bit inaccurate since it also included games DLCs and free Steam games I have played, but it was still terrifying:
    • It took me 5 years to reach 500 games.
    • Then, it took me only 3 years to reach almost 1k games.
    Maybe it is time to slow down on game bundles for a while...

    Attention Steam Thread!

    HjgReSi.png?1

    You may (or may not) be aware that the Penny Arcade ARK players are switching servers. This changeover is happening this Sunday.

    The ARK Thread is here, for more details.

    To celebrate a year of us playing ARK together and the launch of the new server (Which I have taken the liberty of hosting), I'm hosting a giveaway! This should be done just in time to start playing with us on Sunday.

    signature.png

    You'll note I have also posted the first game event for the server, so now is the perfect time to organize in the ARK thread about who will be in what tribe/team.

    ADDITIONALLY

    There is a structure on our new map currently known as 'Skull Island'. This seems boring to me. It needs a new name. It needs an ORIGIN.

    http://ark.gamepedia.com/Skull_Island

    From now until Monday at 8pm (PST) I am accepting submissions for an origin story for this stony creature/god. Send it to me via PM and Monday night I will post them all, along with the top 3 entries that amuse or entertain me the most. The top three entrants will ALSO win a copy of ARK.

    I look forward to your submissions.

    Reminder! About to head to the airport to come home from vacation, doing the final work to set up the new server when I get home!

    There's no plan, there's no race to be run
    The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.

    Hey, have they optimised ark any more? I tried it out on a free weekend, and it was cool but it ran like butts.

    In subnautica news, the battery charger and water purifier are both as awesome as I dreamed. Combined with the first aid kit maker, that's so much grind reduction. I've got to find parts for the seamoth, then I can just start exploring.

    I actually have and beat the Conan game on 360. This reminded me of it- probably why it ended up on my wishlist. It was an okay game, but more grindy near the end- that and there just wasn't a lot of heavy fantasy games for 360 at the time besides Oblivion so I had to be happy with what I could find. Though there's also the Age of Conan MMO, if you're on that much of a kick...

    Project Zomboid
    Saints Row 2
    Shadowrun Returns
    To The Moon
    Trine: Enhanced Edition
    VVVVVV
    Xenonauts

    Not too shabby. I already had a couple of others on both services that would've qualified, like UT GOTY and The Witcher (like most of you, I'd guess). Still, very cool feature of them to offer.

    It's clear that @Antoshka thinks that there's nothing like "too many games" and that "slowing down" is not an option.
    It's also clear that he will never stop being a (classy) monster.

    Age of Barbarian made me think of a lot of old 8/16-bit games, from Rastan Saga to Golden Axe by way of (obviously) Barbarian.

    I never did play Golden Axe: Beast Rider on the 360, though. I heard it was terrible, but every so often I find myself wondering. I could probably get that for pennies now...

    The gameplay reminds me of Wizards and Warriors after a fashion. (I rented it once, long, long, LONG ago.) I just hope the gameplay is actually somewhat decent and this isn't just a T&A game. Reviews are saying plenty of crash-to-desktop bugs and untranslated things, too. Might want to wait on this one.

Then, I tried connecting a second time, using the refresh button, and got another 6 games added to my account (To the Moon, FTL: Advanced Edition, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Shadowrun Returns and Saints Row 2).

    Thanks for "Midnight's Blessing"! I've been on a bit of an RPG kick- been tackling some console stuff and putting together some things for my sister's birthday, lately.
