oooo more options than expected

I recognize that from the Blackwell games, they have that exact same config screen, maybe they use the same engine.

Here's a small oddity.

Space Rangers, a game no longer on steam, which I mentioned earlier had an HD version wriggling around in the registry is available only on the Russian steam, here. Russian language only.

Nothing amazing really.

Salsa, you get my PM about the Lords of Shadow achievements?

i'll edit it in but I dont think it's that relevant anymore, it's pretty much confirmed, an announcement (or it popping up directly) should be coming up later today or tomorrow

You were right.

Well achievements definitively confirm that it is LoS1, its coming, and, most importantly, Konami is using Steamworks.

If Bioshock is going to jump the shark anytime soon, Infinite is the place where it is most likely to happen. Just sayin'.

Team has taken its sweet time and switched direction lots, coming off of a super-ego-inflating, super-pressure-inducing win, and it's the dreaded NUMBER 3 in the series.

I'm holding out for reviews.

edit: for clarity
 
There already is a Fez in game though

Valid argument.

Man does it take an astronomical amount of items though.

2x weapons per scrap metal

3x scrap metal for Reclaimed Metal

3x Reclaimed Metal for Refined Metal

3x Refined Metal for one Random Hat

So that would be 54 weapons total for one random hat, I doubt too many people have that many weapons or the desire to grind them up.

You'd be surprised, even for someone like me who only goes back maybe once or twice a week, the drops seem to kind of play catch up if you've been off a while. Granted I also have just about every drop that can be gotten randomly, so almost every new one is an easily parted with duplicate.
 
I love everyone on GAF, and I also have just over 5 bucks in my Steam wallet.

First person to PM me with their Steam ID gets a copy of Killing Floor.

Edit: Taken by Sir Jables!
Deques, you technically won but I already bought KF and not the DLC, sorry :L

Thanks again mate. Can't wait to try this out.

I usually dislike Dejobaan games, but the premise of Monster Loves You! sounds interesting. Will wait to hear impressions...the fact that there's also a mobile version makes me kind of wary about the depth and replay value.

Bioshock already jumped the shark with 2. And Irrational didn't even develop 2.

What are you talking about?

oh shit, thats a Dejobaan game? Man, it looked so promising too. Shame.

I edited for clarity. I don't honestly think 2 has much do to with how 3 will do, at all.
I think Irrational has a number of things going against them and the high level departures + some of the comments they made about the development process left me with fear.
I really hope my worries are for nothing because I love the series.

Review: you run around and shoot stuff, often with powers.

What is there for them to get wrong?

Know what you're saying. Had it preordered for a while but the rumblings coming out of Irrational haven't been all that favorable. When someone like Nate Wells, who had been there for years, leaves during the production it makes you wonder (still having a brother in the biz certainly helped him out finding another job). Something is a bit off with this game but fingers crossed it will all turn out rosy.

For those that don't know, myself included

Jumping The Shark

Jumping the shark is an idiom created by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality that is beyond recovery, which is usually a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of "gimmick" in a desperate attempt to keep viewers' interest.

Is Cart Life on Steam the same version as the 5$ one on the dev's website? Might try out the free version for a bit before getting it (I had it downloaded since Idle Thumbs mentioned it).

I think tonight I will put money towards Infinite's reward bar just to see it go up by a bit.

The only way for Bioshock Infinite's to be bad is if the entire games takes place in a dream of dying old man---
bioshock 1 good ending

You get the third character which was the paid version difference I believe.

Edit: So many games releasing today.

I bought Beyond Good and Evil on sale today and I can't get it to work. It says my graphics card drivers are not up to date. They are. I'm running a GTX 670 with latest drivers on Windows 8 It seems to be a pretty common problem but I haven't found a solution yet? Anyone have any luck with it?

The new Steam UI looks better with my name on it.

As if i knew it.

I cannot wait to get all the achievements.

I am eagerly waiting for any DLC.

Edit: So many games releasing today.

True. It is incredible.

Has Incredipede been featured in a bundle? I do remember playing it, but it might have been a demo.

On the dev website.

My only disappointment with cart life is that it ends. I actually liked the 'cart' part so I was bummed to see there was no end game option to continue.
