Coming in the wake of Shovel Knight, another game channeling Mega Man's design sensibilities (more like Mega Man 1 than 2, though):

C9E0F9B8770386FBD25143F92D8F57F42D49762D


Dr. Green is a side-scrolling action-platformer with 8 stages, each with a boss. I'm not yet sure if you can do the stages in any order, but it's very likely given the developer's main inspiration. Great news for me, he likes the idea of giving players few if any checkpoints, and seems more likely to be working with 1cc play in mind than most other Steam developers. Not only that, but the music's great and the visuals are good too, quite readable. It's a newcomer to Greenlight, along with stuff like In The Kingdom.

This looks kinda cool, i upvoted it since we need more Megaman-like games on steam.

So, guys, thinking of changing my crappy Officebox CPU (Pentium G2030) to something with more punch (since some game engines, especially UE3 stuff work way better with more than 2 cores).

i5-3570 will work? i7 CPUs are beyond my price range, and I've never played with OCing, and don't plan on starting now (prefer peace and quiet on the fan front), so K series doesn't interest me as well.

Lower i5 s1055 models don't have much of a price reduction (we're talking about $20 between i5-​3330 and i5-3570, don't see much sense in going for the lower end...

G2030 works well with most of the older stuff, true, but I'm getting bored/annoyed by the stutter whenever an UE3 title decides to stream in new texture data. Upgrading the CPU should help here, right?

Just add the extra 10$ for the K. Aftermarket coolers are queiter, better to be safe then sorry

The clockwork tower in Shovel Knight is the best!!

Is nothing supposed to happen when you just fish up a skull? That's never happened to me until now.

That looks sort of interesting. I'll vote for it.

Hey does anyone know any trustworthy TF2 Key sellers that were selling for the 1.90 or 2.00 price paypal? At that price I can pick up 3 Payday 2 DLC for the price of 1 since I found an autotrade on TF2outpost doing the DLC for 1 key each.

Hey Stumpokapow,
is there any way to clean up the "my loot"? Nuked some keys to give them away again with different rules (only noticed afterwards that I can just update the information), and now the my loot is full of duplicates with "-- BOGUS GAME KEY GOES HERE" in the unclaimed section - which makes it a mess :(

he has to do it manually for now, I believe he said hes working on some code to do it but for now, he has to clean it up himself

Ah, alright - thanks for the info. It's not dramatic, only a couple of keys - so there's no need for a cleanup right now. I'll survive it.

After much thinking today, I decided to pick up Speedrunners for now after watching Dunder's stream earlier today. Game looks like enjoyable chaos and seems it would be fun to join in when people play here. Will definitely keep my eye on Teslagrad though since it reminds me a bit of Limbo and looks pretty good. I've bought too many games on impulse late at night these last few days, but oh well haha. Glad with my pickups this week, got Crimzon Clover, Sir You Are Not Being Hunted, Cook Serve Delicious, and more and it's not even sale time right now :D

Tuesday, then! My bet is on one of the extra games being Borderlands 1.

That... actually sounds like the biggest possibility of games from 2K's library to show up considering they throw it in every sale anyway and it wasn't part of the bundle in the first place. I except it to be the first and maybe second.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

There was some speculation that whatever they added would have lots of DLC conveniently not included. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being Civ V, Borderlands 2, or Duke Nukem Forever. Out of those three, I'd guess Civ V.

Though I feel like I'm forgetting something, like Civ V being in some other previous humble bundle or some other more likely candidate.

No problem!

I guess it might be Borderlands 2 since they're selling a version of it now that includes all the DLC (I think?). I might pick up the bundle if BL2 is there! I heard it has really fun coop!

I think Civ 5 is less likely since there was that Sid Meier bundle, but that would be awesome!

I think you have to finish an entire level for it to save, once you do you can walk left on the start screen to load your save.

I've been playing Borderlands 2 and it's decent even solo, but it takes a while to get going before you have enough levels and weapons to start using interesting power combinations and neat weapon effects.

Playing with friends makes most any co-op game better, and it would probably help get through the slow early stages.

What is this?:
This is a time when SteamGAF can get together to play CS:GO. We will be playing casual matches, players from all skill levels are welcome!

When we are playing: Estimate Time
t1405294200z4.png


What we are playing:
We are playing public matches through the casual matchmaking system. Due to the limitations of the party system there are only 10 spots available in the party. After the party is full, we will be placed in a public server where anyone can join the game.

How to join us:
At the designated time I will make another post here announcing that we are starting. Add me as a friend on steam and through the main menu join the same game that I am in at that time.

In the future:
If we have enough consistent players, we may consider setting up or renting a server for drop in drop out gaf matches.

Come join us and have fun!

---

I've also made a steam group to help better organize this and alert people when we are starting. PM me on steam for an invite.

I had BL2 for a while on my PS3 when it was free with PS+ and it seems like it was designed to be played with a buddy!

I can imagine; I'm merely taking the crazy person route to try it alone. For example, there are certain skills and items you can use that help teammates, but without a teammate they're probably not very good.

I'm doing the same thing with The Secret World, trying my hardest to make it a single-player RPG.

Oh wow, I didn't get that far in the game to see those skills. I bet it gets really hard later when you're running it solo! Good luck! \o/

This bundle. It was made for me.

What is this and why does it say there are 4,000 Uguu~s?

I feel like this only had about 3000 when it was first posted here. What have we done

You can't get rid of all of them. Trust me, I've tried. Many times before.

I feel like this is very relevant right now.

Guys, i think i'm playing the first Gundam game to hit steam.

I still can't get over the fact that the character in that screenshot sounds like Charmy the bee. Such a terrible Sanic friend.

You say that as if Sonic has any friends that aren't absolutely terrible. Worst character gallery in the worst franchise ever.

And, while I'm at it, worst fanbase ever with all the feeder and diaper porn.
