Cleared mine out once the voting was done, sorry.

I figure that if there's an afterlife, I might get a crack at making it 50% of the way through.

I tried like 3 ways to get this to work and I think all it did was steal my Steam info. HACKERS EVERYWHERE

I'm too ashamed to even look at that link.

Can't wait for the next Steam sale either. This last one was kind of a dud. There was a real lack of interactivity like previous sales.

Not bad, honestly.

Mine didn't work at first, but then I realized I had set a different custom URL for my profile than my profile name.

Speaking of my PoS, time to build up the wishlist again. Frighteningly enough, I just got another half dozen things by browsing on sale section in the store this week. About $25 if I wanted them all (decent chance). Where the fuck was Steam when I was in grade school and dropping $50 per Nintendo cartridge and had a good twelve hours a day to devote to gaming? Kids nowadays got it easy.

Square Enix is apparently giving their titles away this weekend.

Ok, not really, but the entire Tomb Raider collection for $16? All the Hitman games for $8?

Pretty awesome.

I'll see your Square and raise you an Eidos.

EDIT: I splurged $0.62 on a trio of Thief twink DLCs. 2250 extra gold, some bonus items, bigger quiver, better lockpicks.

Anachronox is part of the sale! $1.74

I HIGHLY recommend it. It's dated, but this game is in the top ten list for "best game you never played."

Darkest Dungeon is available on Early Access.

It's an Xcom/Fantasy/2d scroller/roguelike... thing. Not sure how else to describe it, but the art style and narrator and sound and everything is amazing.

A dungeon crawler with a psychological stress feature?

Yes. It's super hard. You have to give your heros gold for booze, or access to the temple to bring their sanity down (other stuff too). It's super expensive. On the other hand, if you don't spend enough money on provisioning your next adventure you can't get past 3-4 big fights without pushing it or turning back. And getting a party wiped can really set you back.

The psych factor worked for me in shit like this, when it's first person and I can see the effects on the monitor. I don't know what it'll be like if two of my four dudes are "paralyzed by fear" or one decides to be a greedy bitch because he didn't get enough poontang in town.

Holy balls. MDK 1 and 2 on sale this week. Back from when Interplay didn't suck. Which was so long ago, it was when EA didn't suck.
