I love Enter The Gungeon, but I would encourage all those to wait until the beta branch gets pushed to production. It's pushes a ton of quality of life improvements that just make the game feel better. Saving in between floors being my most awaited feature.
I uninstalled it yesterday. Not going back until something is done. I'm too old to be stuck with archaic, non-optional game modes.

From the recent Steam Auto-update (you probably have this already if you were in the beta):
Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types.
That's . . . pretty spiffy.
That is pretty neat; I've been using their DS4 support since they added it and it has made that particular controller vastly more useful. (no more DS4Windows)
For the Xbox controller, since it already has such wide support, this is basically configurable buttons + controller support for non controller games?
I feel bad for Steve Blum. He has a surprising range of voices that he never gets to use because he got so famous for his spike voice.
Having heard him in interviews I feel jealous of him. He gets to voice act (and is good at it) in what sounds like something very similar to his day-to-day voice.
but its the only way to properly express my astonishment
i dunno when i will play it
but im afraid that if i start, i will never stop
There's a full on Endless Grand Collection too. Dungeon of the Endless+DLC, Endless Legend +DLC, and Endless Space +DLC for just under $18.
That's a lot of game.
I really enjoyed Lords of Shadow (except for the DLC boss, that guy was crap) and the only thing that made me stop playing 2 was some of the weird stealth segments. That actually reminded me to reinstall the game so I can finally get around to beating it.
Sure gameplay wise it's more God of War than Castlevania but seeing as the last Castlevania I played was Aria of Sorrow and that was a long time ago it didn't spoil my enjoyment.
I feel like I'm one of the only people who liked Castlevania - Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate. And Lords of Shadow.
I have a feeling it will be much the same for Lords of Shadow 2 when I finally get to it.
I really liked LoS (didn't finish it just yet, but I love what I got to play.) and I own MoF on 3DS and got to play quite a bit of it on plane trips last year. I've heard... things about LoS2, though.
I'm still playing through Xcom2, but I just saw that Long War 2 Mod for Xcom2 just came out! It's already tempting to play it again once I beat it!

Are you playing Lords of Shadow with a controller? I felt like the controls were really tight.
The hellish area of the DLC and especially the DLC boss were horrible bullshit (that I eventually beat, for sure).
I went through the entire game on easy, and it was easily one of my favorite games I played when I got this computer and really got into Steam back in 2013.

I also really liked the first Lords of Shadow. I don't usually play character action games like that, so I had nothing recent to really compare it to. I didn't think it carried over very well to Mirror of Fate, and I felt the design of that game was a bit bland. LoS2 felt like they had improved the combat, but the often-maligned stealth sections were annoying (and you never got the opportunity to kick the crap out of those guys you had to use stealth to get past - that was a lost opportunity!), and the story seemed like it was trying to do something interesting but kind of failed.
I liked Lords of Shadow quite a bit. I didn;t play the DLC though, had heard poor things so I just watched a few cutscenes. Never played Mirror of Fate, but I did play Lords of Shadow 2, and it is not as good as the first.
I wouldn't say it's terrible, but if it were the first game in the series I likely would not have gotten the sequel. It seemed pretty meh in relation to the original.

Today I finished up Analogue: A Hate Story and Epistory.
Analogue is a VN in which you've come across an abandoned spaceship and need to figure out what happened to it. To do this, you read various logs and speak with the ship's AI programs. I thought it was an interesting enough story that I'm planning on picking up the sequel, Hate Plus, at some point. I'd recommend it if you enjoy VNs at all.
It seems as if everyone has been playing Epistory over the past few days, so I don't have much to say that hasn't been said. It's a typing game with a gorgeous papercraft aesthetic. It's a nice alternative to Typing of the Dead if you don't want something so over the top. I really enjoyed this one and would highly recommend it.
Finally, a last reminder that I'll be streaming Saints Row 3 (and possibly finishing it) tonight. This is also a Benji Costume Stream! It'll be happening in a few hours at 9:00 pm EST (BerryBea on Twitch).
I love Enter The Gungeon, but I would encourage all those to wait until the beta branch gets pushed to production. It's pushes a ton of quality of life improvements that just make the game feel better. Saving in between floors being my most awaited feature.
I uninstalled it yesterday. Not going back until something is done. I'm too old to be stuck with archaic, non-optional game modes.
I would say its definitely not for everyone. It's more of a true Roguelike than just a roguelike because its randomized. True roguelikes expect you to die and die horribly most of the time, only really getting anywhere when you get a good rollout on your run ANd play well. Gungeon by virtue of its gameplay gives you the ability to get past that "you will die" aspect because there is a pretty high skillcap involved so potentially if you are really good you could beat the whole thing with just the starter gun. But that would be like, godly play.
I agree though the inability to save mid game, even if most last 10 or less minutes, really does suck.

I think its harder than Isaac but shorter?
It really is hard, but its misleading because you think you really aren't getting far but you are. A lot of the play value comes from just how many unique and ridiculous guns there are and that makes it awesome.

You should check out her first game, Digital: A Love Story. It's really neat if you ever used BBS's back in the day.
I think another thing that put me off of Gungeon was seeing screenshots from Koopah's playthrough that hinted at
ending spoilers:
needing to do extra stuff in order to actually kill your characters past, which I call malarkey on.
I'm not fighting through this whole Gungeon to not get the gun I want just to have a twist that it isn't there. I don't know, it just doesn't seem thematically fitting for an otherwise happy-go-lucky setting to pull the rug out from under you, despite what the skeevy pixel art for some of the characters seems to entail.
Really bummed out that the trailer art didn't match up with the games, I guess they have someone else responsible for the former.

Bought Enter the Gungeon and played it for a bit. Died on the second level, but that's OK. I've got to get better at identifying gaps, because I kept falling into them. I didn't even notice they were there. So yeah, I need to pay better attention to details.
While I was initially comparing it to the Binding of Isaac, I'd say that it's only similar in a level structure sort of way. It definitely plays differently.

Seasons after Fall beaten. It's a pretty and simple puzzle platformer. Hell, getting everything took me 7 hours total and I dawdled. If you're looking for something simple, give it a go.
Also note that if you play it with a controller, a tap up, down, left, or right on the Right Stick will select your season powers quickly (once you have them).

Berry's Summer Charity Game Challenge - 2 of 6
Saints Row: The Third
I had so much fun with this game. I wasn't sure that I would. I tend not to enjoy playing evil/bad characters, and I bounced off of Saints Row 2. Once games get ridiculous/wacky/unrealistic enough though, I can enjoy them regardless of that. (Similarly, I don't care for shooters in general, but enjoy Borderlands.)
Anyway, I'm assuming you're all familiar with the Saints Row games. You're the boss of a gang and you run around causing mayhem. Well, you're taking down the other gangs, and the officials that get in your way. It's so utterly ridiculous though, with guns, car chases, and explosions galore (and those are the non-ridiculous parts).
One of my favorite things was that there were radio stations in the vehicles. So, I'd turn on the classical music station and go roaring down the streets, knocking over anything and anyone that got in my way. One of my favorite moments was chasing down a jet plane in my helicopter with Ride of the Valkyries playing. I also quite enjoyed running into the middle of the street, finding a fast car, standing in front of it to make it stop, then pulling the driver out and speeding off. (I might have even done that with a cop car once. Maybe.)
Anyway, true to form with games with character creation, my character was pretty hideous. I spent about an hour making her, but it didn't help. I tend to stick with my character though, regardless of how awful she looks in game (such as my pale zombie elf in Dragon Age). She doesn't look too bad on the parts without close-ups though.
Spoiler-free:
This was one of my favorite missions. It just completely surprised me and made me laugh so much. (This would be a spoiler if you haven't played the game.)
Anyway, if there is actually anyone else out there who hasn't played this yet, I'd definitely recommend it if you want some ridiculous fun. I'm looking forward to playing Saints Row IV! Thank you so much to everyone that voted for this as a game I had to play for the charity drive incentive and a huge thank you to @HiT BiT for gifting me this game back in November 2013!
If you missed Benji's costume stream, don't worry! For a while, you can watch it here. I also took some pictures beforehand, because I wasn't sure if he was going to put up with the costume for the whole stream. So here are some pictures:
This was one of my favorite missions. It just completely surprised me and made me laugh so much. (This would be a spoiler if you haven't played the game.)
I don't know if that's a spoiler, exactly. But it was pretty fun. The Septic Avenger missions from SR2 were better, though.
If Bery was using the radio, there's a good chance most of her Twitch stream got muted, but you still get to see the bunny.
That's the important part.
I took a quick look and it seems like only the last mission in muted, due to the music it uses.
