    does anyone know where I can get dungeons 2 for free

    anyone

    anyone at all

    I don't think there's a chance the dev would ever give that game away for free

    On a more serious note, 1/3rd of my games on my Humble wishlist are no longer visible. I wonder if it's all the ones that are actually on sale.

    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is. I've got Humble wishlist of 19 games but when I click on it, I can only see 3 and none of them are on sale. I assume it's a glitch because you would think you would want to highlight wishlisted games that are on sale.

    Yeah, jeez, I bet it is missing all your wishlist games that are on sale. I've got 21 on my list, but only 14 are visible. Unfortunately I don't remember the names of any of them to be able to check. :)

    Yeah something weird is happening. It now isn't showing any of my wishlisted games and I just noticed that isthereanydeal.com isn't listing Humble Store at least for the games I checked which i know for sure are being sold by Humble Store.

    Edit: stupid drafts

    Dungeons 2 is free on the HumbleBundble store for ~2 days.

    I had a lot of fun with Dungeons 2. It's a lot slower paced than the Dungeon Keeper games but at least it is a lot closer to that principle instead of a Dungeon Tycoon game that the first was.

    Still has it's own quirks but it meshes with an RTS game to actually start taking over and corrupting the overworld so it was a nice change of pace.

    @Zavian probably saw I already own Hyperspace Invaders 2, so he hit me with Space Moth DX instead, despite my pleas as a member of our very own Backlog Support Group.

    In return, I think I can say I have "finished" a game.

    ---

    The colony provides us with everything... except for violence. But we still find on the deserts of Ultakaar. If you are hurt, you will teleport back and wake up in one piece. Until then, welcome to UBERMOSH.

    UBERMOSH is a twinstick shooter in which you use a sword to slice bullets, pick up enemies' guns and blast them to bloody smears on the ground. You have 90 seconds to survive and earn as many kills as you can, ideally before your lives run out. You can also begin a run with a Class Mod to change up your playstyle: Kensai has the most health but cannot use guns, Gunner has autofire but has less health and cannot use the sword, and Wizard starts with the best gun and the least health.

    There are about seven achievements in the game: one for surviving seven runs, one for getting 200 score in seven runs, four for getting 250 points in each Class Mod (Kensai, Gunner, Warlock and classless) and one for turning on "Hardboiled Mode". I'm not sure what's different between Hardboiled and Classic. There's not a whole lot of depth in the long run - there are a few enemy types and a few maps that I'm not sure are unique or repeating - but the run isn't long to begin with. I've already earned all seven achievements and three cards in the 58 minutes that Steam has logged me playing.

    For some reason the game seems to run at 30 FPS instead of 60 which means the game and timer both run at half speed. I'd like to know why, considering the store video is at 60 FPS and much faster.

    Even at that lower speed, I still had great fun with UBERMOSH for the short time I played it. I give it 4/5, especially if you grab the series compilation pack dirt cheap during a sale.

    Part of me wants to jump on Doom (DooM?) being 2/3 off, but I know I don't have the time to play it; plus it will probably get a markdown during the Summer Sale.

    Also I feel this slight, ever-stronger tug to buy and play FTL.

    B-but brain! I'm already playing three other games, and another is queued up!

    It isn't listening.

    Still working on building my playlist of game music. On the front half of 2014 now.
    Reminded me about Rock of Ages fun classical music mixes, wonder when that sequel is going to show up.

    Also, I wasn't quite as big on the game itself as Pixie, but Bound By Flame has some pretty good original music.

    I may finally get back to some Steam playing soon. I've recently crossed the 100+ hours mark on Persona 5 and am pretty sure I'm entering into the final chunk of the game. So probably another 10 hours to go...

    Rock of Ages was really good. Not sure what they were on when they came up with the concept, but more developers should lay in a supply of it.

    *Nice starting area, just getting used to the controls*

    *Awesome graphics*

    Not for you specifically, but for anyone else who has just picked this up, I really recommend re-watching the first Alien movie before playing the game, because it is amazing how much effort they put into duplicating props and set dressing from the movie. There was a lot of love put in.

    I need to restart it myself, because I noped out of it after only a few hours.

    On another topic completely, dirty secret for the Steam thread, I'm currently playing a PSP train sim, Densha De Go! Pocket Chuo-sen. Fortunately it has no DLC, but wow I can see why these things are so dangerous. Something very relaxing about watching the scenery go by and hitting schedules.

    On the topic of Alien Isolation, anyone who makes it a couple of the checkpoints past medical has made it past me.

    I'm very cool with dying in games, when playing scuurry games I'll intentionally just run through to load back at a checkpoint to see what's going to pop up and what's going to scare me. Couldn't do it with this one. The game doesn't allow me too!

    Finished Star Wars: X-Wing vs TIE Fighter Balance of Power campaigns. Yes, despite having the original disks purchased shortly after release circa 1997, I never got around to actually finishing these campaigns.

    Despite having it on Steam, I ended up playing the GoG version instead. The Steam version kept having problems with the executable, and I didn't want to keep fussing with it.

    Gameplay is - if you love the X-Wing series of space combat, then this is more of that, although because the single player campaign missions were built on an engine designed for multiplayer, there are some odd changes that you don't have in any of the other games in the series, such as respawn waves and ship selection.

    Definitely a worthwhile Star Wars side story, but not the strongest game in the series. Now it's on to X-Wing Alliance for my Force Friday broadcasting. I may cry when I finish this one, since there's no more Star Wars sims after it.

    Come on, Disney, look at Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen and realize there's a decent market for a new X-Wing game!

    I finished Final Station last night. It's pretty short, and I'm not feeling the need to get it on special. It's atmospheric and trying to tell a story, but I felt like there were a lot of gaps there. The part I hated the most was the fact that you pick up people to come with you in the train, and in the train segments they start filling in backstory. They're talking among themselves about what's happening in the world. BUT, you can't stay and listen to them because you need to run back and forth to different parts of the train, making sure it doesn't catch fire or whatever. So the game mechanics are actually making you miss the story.

    All that stuff about Alien: Isolation almost convinced me to pick it up. Almost.

    Lately I've played a bit of Westerado and Dead Cells.

    Westerado is neat. I could see it not living up to being as replayable as it might sell itself, but I am on play number two and still enjoying the game. It manages to simulate having more depth than is actually present in the game and that feels OK to me. Despite the simple graphics, the set pieces are delightful. The soundtrack works and feels good, especially the small change up whenever you approach the climax of the story. My first playthrough was a bit gun happy. I might have killed almost everyone on the map but it still felt cool when I discovered who murdered my family. It's a neat game. I recommend it. We need more quality western games. It also has a low key humor to it that got a legitimate chuckle out of me a few times.

    I don't want to go too much into Dead Cells until I play more of it. It's great so far. It feels like the metroidvania that they advertise it as but under the hood it plays more like a fine tuned Rogue Legacy than it does Symphony of the Night. I'll have more opinions on it later when I've gone deep enough to know what I am doing. I'm convinced that I got my money's worth at the very least.

    As a side note, I finally got a job interview! Wish me luck!
