Yeah, my brother and I have played it a good bit, but hard to find time as he's doing the grad school thing and constantly busy. But really fun.

My copy of XIII broke in half
My list of old PC games that need to be on Steam is getting smaller though:
Although most of these are pretty bad ports.
MGS2: Amazingly bad port, If you can get this working in Vista/7/8 then you are insanely lucky.
BlazeBlue Calamity Trigger: A solid 2D sprite fighting game which decided to use GFWL Live, not sure you can even get this on any DD store.
Stranglehold: Fantastic Max Payne clone that was never put on a DD store.
Lemmings
NFSMW: Should be on Origin, has no native widescreen support,
Gears of War: Will most likely be forgotten when GFWL shuts down.
Halo: Coming soon? to Steam. (never played it tbh).
Freedom Fighters: EA needs to make a new fucking game of this instead of rebooting MOH/BF every god damn year.
Rayman Gold: It's on GOG but not on Steam, same goes for Rayman 2 (managed to snag Rayman 2 on steam with Rayman Origins pre-order).
Resident Evil: Apparently one of the worst PC ports of all time.

Well there's this:

and a code reduces it even more.

But it's so funny when all the cars on the bridge in the tanker opening go pirouetting and flying through the air because they hardcoded them to made them depend on an old videocard's timing.

Freedom Fighters is the one game I want from that list. Never played it but always wanted too.
Just a heads up for those of you looking for impressions on Safehouse Diaries, Northernelion has just posted a 'Let's look at'.
I am kind of digging the whole micro management aspect of the game (which indeed is a major component of the game). I might pick it up later this month.

:lol I still remember when the game mapped the controls to keyboard for the first time, fucking nightmare:
It's not aged well but commanding troops in third person while in combat is a lot of fun. There is a demo for it if some old demo sites still have it.
I played and finished it entirely on keyboard.
I... don't recommend it, though.

Just finished Amnesia a machine for pigs.

Going to be a divisive one. I'll just say if you are on the fence? I'd probably hold off.

I will PM you to see if we can get this worked out. Or even if you are still available.
Todd gonna have nightmares confirmed.
You may not like him, But Angry Joes review of Rome 2 is dead on brilliant....
at 5 mins he shows a clip where they say they spent the most they ever had on AI, cue Benny Hill music and terrible AI moments

I find this a little bit nitpicky. Play a game of this size and scope for enough hours, and you are bound to run into "dumb" things the AI does (basically because there is a limit to how many things the AI can be programmed to react appropriately to). See also: Skyrim. I have put about 30 hours into Rome 2 and 50+ into Shogun 2 and Rome 1, and I can say that the AI has been a step above previous Total War games. I have had several situations on the strategic map where the opposing army attacks consistently at my weak points instead of the closest thing (unlike in TW games of the past). I have even reloaded and acted differently to see how they react to different stimuli, and they appear to be able to relatively consistently identify the best point to attack.
I agree. I feel like there is a bit of a piling on going on for Rome 2 at this point where it has become fashionable to criticize it. Sure, the game has its annoying quirks. It died on me twice last night which was very frustrating. It probably has its fair share of AI issues as well, and the interface isn't perfect, but it's far from a game to dismiss because of these issues.
I guess my takeaway from 30 hours in is that Rome 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, but I don't see any reason to go back and play it now because I own Rome 2.
Sure, I'm around. Steam profile in gaf profile. As long as they are not any complete editions I can just stick them in and see what they are.

I'm off to bed... But I think I'll be right. It isn't scary. And not in the "I'm rock hard and don't get scared by anything" kind of way. It just isn't that type of game.
Interesting though... All just under 3 hours of it.
So I will be able to get through it just fine! I'm installing right now.
Looking to split this pack

New Indie Royale bundle: http://www.indieroyale.com/
Thunder Wolves is surprisingly decent, don't know about the rest (three games have Steam codes).
PS Is anyone still looking for a cheap Night of the Rabbit? I bought one too many because I thought the pricing error for owners would disappear... pm me. Gone and they fixed the glitch by not allowing the game to be gifted anymore.

Only need DIVO.
So, guys, you know how it sucks when stuff is taken down from Steam due to licensing issues? Well...

Stellar Impact is multiplayer only and pretty much dead, last time I checked.

Everything I heard about Sanctum 2 on GAF made it out to be much worse than the original game. Have you played it in single-player at all? I don't have friends to play this co-op with so if it's only good in co-op, then I'll wait for a (better) sale, especially since I already have the first game and Super Sanctum TD already.
I can vouch for Thunder Wolves. Kind of plays like a modern version of the classic <location> Strike games from the genesis.
Stellar Impact is a MOBA with a pretty dead community, not really great.
Can't speak to the rest.

Yes, and I couldn't log in at all a few minutes ago. Maintenance time?

They are actually performing early maintenance for once. It should be over in about 30m.
https://twitter.com/Steam_Support/status/377448430878326784
I remember when Steam was praised for having almost no downtime at all. But in the last year Steam has been down every single week for short time. What happened?
Do they really have to do perform maintenance every week?

Cock Encumbered
I honestly don't even remember the last time I ran into an issue with Steam being down.
Apparently they are going to do a couple maintenance routines today, so you may be down again.

That's because it's always at 9am your time.
Welcome back, and please be considerate of Microsoft.
I do. Every maintenance Tuesday :/
Would you rather they keep finetuning their machine, maybe adding new features, with minimal downtime each week, or a catastrophic crash of a machine that hasn't been updated in years that takes it down for days at a time?
It's usually not a problem unless you're trying to play a multiplayer game that uses steamworks, then it's very aggravating.
It's my main IM program so it's kind of a pain in the ass when it's going down all the time lately. Last night was really bad for a lot of my friends, they kept getting disconnected like crazy for some reason.
