    Receiver is the type of game that makes me feel like I'd have a better shot with a gun and robots trying to kill me IRL than in a game

    I'd buy 50 copies if I could get a gorram lean button...but considering the number of buttons I have to press already....

    The immediacy of Receiver's gameplay is fucking crazy tense. I keep hoping that Wolfire will take a second away from Overgrowth to give Receiver just that extra little touch, that dose of love and polish that would really make the game shine. It's already something really special.

    I can't explain quite why, but Steamworld Dig is pretty great. SNES aesthetic combined with mining for stuff, selling that stuff, and buying upgrades for you cool robot.

    Big thanks to @scratchy by way of @Drake for the gift of Teleglitch! It seems like we're digging the same kind of games these days, so things should get classy in this thread for people who like Doom and Quake inspired combat

    e: Please ignore the nearly 30 hours of Crusader Kings 2 I've played the past fortnight :P

    It wasn't so much a gift more like a punishment for having it on your wishlist.

    Very much appreciate the help @Drake

    Steamgifts are far too complex for me but that doesn't mean I can't gift.

    @Scratchy has a cunning plan to beat my Pinball scores, apparently distracting me with Borderlands 2 DLC will keep me distracted long enough to surpass my leaderboard position.

    December 5th was the birthday of legendary Austrian film director Fritz Lang. @Croaker decided to celebrate by gifting me Borderlands 2.

    I lost a lot of time in the original Beelands, so lord only knows what sort of mammoth chunk of my life the sequel will consume. I can't wait to shoot more bandits in the face!

    so, I played games. No backlog.. just EQ II.. I will go cry in the corner in shame... I should beat HL2:E2 soon. I'm at the end, just save all the buildings.. bs....

    Also, so I said Sonic tourney.. well I have 2 people willing to play.. so maybe I will do an LP just cause.. well that isn't very big for 6k of donations..

    Edit:
    Is anything in my game library scary? I don't like scary. Probably not @corriganX level, but I might jump. Shrug. It just seems a waste to do a tourney, when not many have time. I want to give something. So looking for a LP worth 6k bucks. I guess I can start poll. And I can still do a 3 person tourney of sonic...

    Don't they at least have the SNES version on the Virtual Console?

    The US Version of the SNES game (complete with the Final Fantasy III title) is available on the Wii VC. It has not been upgraded for the Wii U VC, but it can be purchased and played on a Wii U running in Wii mode.

    I'm consistently divided between FFVI and FFVII as to which is my favorite in the series. Both are so great and I find it hard to believe that anybody could be objective and like one game while hating the other. They're the two most similar FF games in the series IMO.

    Damn, I want to replay FFVI again now.

    I love FFVI. FFVII does nothing for me.

    To be perfectly honest: part of that comes down to how the graphics have aged. I played FFVII for the first time in the early 2000s, and the graphics seemed bad then, while the pixel art of FFVI remains beautiful to this day. But beyond that, FFVI had a far better villain and much better protagonists overall; Tifa was the only FFVII character I enjoyed as much as I liked FFVI characters like Locke, Celes, Terra, Shadow (and Interceptor), Strago, Relm, and the rest of that crew. I really couldn't stand either Cloud or Aeris. The underlying story of FFVI also worked better for me than the clones and memory problems of FFVII.

    Your mileage may vary.

    Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

    So what was that site everyone is getting achievement comparisons from, again?

    Also, a teltale game set in the borderlands universe?! Fuck yes.

    Also a telltale game set in the Game of Thrones universe
    I have not seen a game of thrones, nor have I read a song of ice and fire, so meh.

    Dude, what.

    Get on that.

    I'm waiting for a conclusion to be written, then I'll blow through it all in a week.

    I haven't read the books, but even I know about George R.R. Martin's output regarding the series. Which wouldn't be much of a concern, if you don't consider his age... :(
    Someone buy these people the two seasons on Blu-ray, and reserve them the third coming out in February.

    It's so damn majestic.

    Is GoT too mature for Child's Play donations?

    Also I would love a telltale in the GoT universe.

    It's got incest and murder and whores and murder and fighting and murder and fucking and murder and gore and murder and dragons and titties and murder.

    See if that helps you figure it out. :P

    Yeah, I've read the books and seen the show. It was sarcasm. :/ Though I would totally let my kids watch Game of Thrones. Then again, I'm an irresponsible child myself.

    So, to put your fears to rest: I am joking. I would never punish someone for not donating and I certainly wouldn't punish anyone who has already donated because other people didn't.

    Your mileage may vary.

    The thing that endears 6 more than any other, IMO, is that the second world totally becomes your story, your efforts determine the ending and the lack of a central hero makes it that much more interesting. It feels like an inversion of the dirty dozen archetype because you are free to exclude some characters at the beheast of others.

    Save the world with a moogle, a snowman, a jungle boy, and a mofo'king ninja (00:01).

    I do hate its limit breaks, though, too fucking unpredictable.

    I trust you guys so I'll ask here, my husband has expressed an interest in AC: Black Flag but has no interest in going back and playing the other AC games. Is this a particular problem? Please no attempts at gifting, if he plays it it's going to be much later as he's not got the time now and has interest in getting it for the PS4 (when we find one) as he doesn't think our computer can really handle it (and he's right, I need a new power supply/video card in the old girl at best).

    I've never actually played an FF after 6. 4 is probably my most-played game of all time, though. I didn't own a playstation for 7, and I think the character's hair tapped into my great dislike for DBZ. :P

    Not really no. It's intended as a bit of a fresh start to the series. I'd recommend he read a brief (brief!) summary of the modern day / historical split, so he understands why there are two separate gamebits, but other than that he's fine. He'll miss some modern day stuff but who cares, AC4 is all about the piracy.

    Okay guys, originally I was going to LP 1 person's suggestion, or Coop with 1 person every few days. However while waiting for more people to sign up so we have a real drawing, it seems that people aren't really interested. That means @DyasAlure @DaringDirk and @Wooden Spoon all get to send me a PM and tell me what you're like to see. At least 3 hours of video of your preferred game, or coop buddy for at least 3 hours. Not necessarily at one time if your schedule is a bit wonky, just let me know in a message here which games you'd like for me to play with you.

    I can't buy any new games, but if I already own it (I own a lot of coop games) or its f2p let me know. (Also I have slender: the arrival which I havent even started if you just want me to be scared, also have half of outlast I can complete.)

    I'm more of a "Superliminal" kind of guy.

    The intro to the game also (literally!) walks you through the whole Animus/virtual reality set-up, so all you might need is a one-sentence summary of who the fuck the Templars and Assassins are, along the lines of "Templars are the supposedly bad guy Illuminati Masonic 1% puppetmasters who want to rule the world for order and stuff, and the Assassins are the supposedly good guy freedom and anarchy 99% stab dudes for liberty folks who oppose them, and they both want to find some ancient alien technology shit but really, none of this matters since you get to be a fucking pirate."
