    And @HallowedFaith decides to save me from the agonizing choice of "Oh god, do I buy scribblenauts for 35% off NOW, or wait until I can actually afford it" and gifts it to me. In his honor, I will attempt to solve as many puzzles as I can through copious uses of a panda.

    Generally, unless the game has some weird policy about its saves (hi GFWL!), or transferring a save that has mods attached to a vanilla install, you can usually just copy and paste the save file from one PC to another and it should work without issues.

    Also bought La-Mulana and PAC-MAN CE DX+ to compensate for capitulating and grabbing GTA V for the 360. La-Mulana shall be... interesting.

    So, sometime tomorrow I will probably be packing up my computer and loading it into storage for the long drive to the 'other' coast next week and won't have much chance to check the thread other then on my phone or a borrowed laptop for _X_ amount of time. In light of this I figured I would post a farewell to the steam thread from the East Coast. Next time I visit you from this rig (after tomorrow) I'll be hailing from the cold wet West. Let your backlogs grow and the brofists spread during my cold dark computerless time:)

    Hmm, yeah it's probably that some of these games don't have it. Rogue Legacy appears to not have it either.

    Terraria doesn't have Steam Cloud support.

    However, something you can do to... somewhat fix the issue, is to use either DropBox, SkyDrive or Google Drive's software to have a backed up folder in both PC's. You keep the real folder with the saves in that backed up directory, and replace the real one the game uses with a link to that one.

    (In theory it should work, though I haven't tried such a thing yet.)

    Use DropBox and GameSave Manager to manage your save games.

    Just a heads-up! State of Decay is landing on Steam tomorrow in a Early Access state for $20.

    It is Early Access still as the PC port still requires a lot of work. Optimization, bug/crash fixes and providing mouse+keyboard support (can only use a 360 controller right now) are in the near future as updates are released.

    So I picked up Ironclad Tactics last night. It's pretty enjoyable. It seems a touch easy though (not very far through it yet). It's slightly different from a normal card based game (at least in my experience) where there is no phases or anything (well there is, but they automatically progress), so it's got a bit of a fast pace to it. Could be interesting to play against other humans though.

    Anyone know of an open world game where you are fighting one or more armies and can fight the entire army or take out the entire command chain one at a time to weaken them?

    Like if I wanted to take the town of Gold Watch, I'd assassinate commander gabe to weaken the forces in the town of gold watches and commander tycho in the town of gamestop whose forces would support Gold Watch once my forces attacked.

    So I couldn't for the life of me buy Pinball tables today. The app just wasn't working. I hope my failure is rewarded in a 75% off deal later on down the road.

    My mom said she saw some people walking around in our backyard yesterday. After she yelled at them for trespassing, she found out they were Verizon guys installing FIOS for the block.

    This is so exciting for my Steam backlog I might cry.

    Looks like Cognition keys are slowly being rolled out. Apparently if you own any episodes, the price of the season pass gets cut. So like if you got Ep 1 and 2 from groupees, you'd get 50 percent off buying the pass.

    Pretty much only one section. I'd show you a video of hilarious reactions to one specific part of it, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

    Also, yeah, if you find racism horrific, then it is quite a horrific game.

    So Scribblenauts Unmasked is almost here. It's a confusing game, to be sure. They give you the ability to type in words to create or alter reality in order to solve problems. The sheer size of the game's vocabulary is really quite impressive, but what confuses me is why they'd go to all that trouble when you're only going to need a single word for every single challenge:

    Batman.

    Man, everyone is on a gifting mood lately, well.... here's my haul.
    Ok, so I got keys for;

    - Mark of the Ninja
    - FTL: Faster than Light
    - Fez
    - Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken.
    - A Virus Named Tom
    - Bastion

    Just PM if anyone wants them, otherwise I will just hand them out randomly on my friend list.

    Some of these I am just not interested in adding to my library, being one game shy of hitting the 100 mark. I'd like it to be special game.
    Plus, my almost-OCD compulsion to keep it at 100 might prevent me from destroying my wallet further at the Steam store, and keeps my backlog in check...

    Does anyone have a good suggestion for an highly customizable action/RPG game, or something with at least one element of the aformentioned?

    *UPDATE*

    Several still up if anyone wants em'.

    So...Argrest wars. Is this the same game that was sold on the PS3 with a boob mouse pad? The same game with almost tits?

    Got nothing against that, i just am surprised to see steam allow it since they have avoided overtly sexualized games.

    Yes, Record of Agarest War was the original release name.

    siliconera.com/2010/01/26/record-of-agarest-war-naughty-edition-revealed-includes-pillowcase-and-squishy-mousepad/

    "This collectors item includes Record of Agarest War, a soundtrack CD, 26” x 20” pillowcase of Ellis, and a “sensual” Vira-Lor mouse pad packaged in a Naughty Collector’s box."


    I bought it on 360 because I really wanted another tactics like game. Didn't really give a damn about the bonuses but I gave them a shot. Ill be honest, the pillowcase was shit. Super scratchy and uncomfortable, but I would never really use it anyways. My old mousepad started fucking up, so I switched in the boobies mousepad. That thing was so goddamn amazingly comfortable. I didnt even care how ridiculous it looked, it was super ergomatic. Great goddamn thing. I was so sad when the gel wristrest broke. :(

    Broke??? You mean her implants burst? Get that mousepad a doctor STAT!

    Sigh. You can go here and apparently get cheap games with Steam keys: http://digital.gamefly.com/#!/promotion/426 . I did just that, and bought BNW for $15, and Spec Ops: The Line for $7.50. Bargain, right?

    Perhaps, but I just got this email: Thanks for your recent order on GameFly! We are hoping to speak with you directly to verify this purchase. We will reach out to you as soon as possible using the email address or phone number located on your account during the following times, Monday –Friday from 8AM CST to 7PM CST and Saturday/Sunday from 8AM CST to 6PM CST.

    This is what I get for not using PayPal.

    One of my credit cards can't make any more Steam purchases because reasons. The bank couldn't (wouldn't?) fix it for me (according to Steam support it was on their end.)

    Another card (same bank) has no problem, however.
