Word. Maybe because I was coming at it pessimistically, but I'm really enjoying it as well. Definitely not the Guerrilla 2 I would've also wanted, I suppose. They didn't quite drop the ball on losing the fun destruction bits as much as I thought they would.
They're being given away with IGN Prime at the moment.

Both, but you're gonna have to work with the AI in sp. And I'm not really hearing good news about the AI >_>.....
I was browsing SPUF for another reason, but I stumbled onto this thread, which, for anyone that might have the site blocked or whatever, tells of another bundle coming up. Redirects me to this page, but no date or anything. The only clue as to what will be in there is in the thread, but how true that is, I can't say until the bundle goes live. Supposed game list below -
Sol Survivor
Greed Corp
RuneSpell
Dead Horde
Booster Trooper
I checked out gamingallthetime a bit quickly, it seems like an honest thing,
"We are a group of committed gamers dedicated to sharing the latest gaming related information. Weve been playing games for a long, long time and look forward to passing along any and all knowledge which weve obtained along the way."
But after the other bundles lately, I can imagine people feeling a bit uncertain to jump onto yet another, to me, unknown page and bundle. Tried to find out which payment options there'll be, but haven't found anything yet. Delete/ignore if already posted in this or another thread.

If that's true, I'll probably skip that one. I already own the first three games on that list. Dead Horde looks like crap and booster trooper looks so-so but I could get that for cheap the next Steam sale.
If you don't already own Sol Survivor though, I'd recommend buying that bundle just for that game alone.
Are you joking? Isn't that like 1 euro/dollar?
you could buy 2 mars bars for that!
Whoa, don't know how I missed that. We must be getting Noitu Love 2, since he's not done with The Iconoclasts, as far as I know and everything else of his is free.
That'd be pretty great! Last I'd heard it'd been rejected for something to do with Multimedia Fusion. Maybe a Steam overlay thing?
The Final Hours of Portal 2 is such a great read. It's hard to believe Portal 2 as we know it was content complete in just two years, and I hope Valve do something with the promising-but-ultimately-inappropriate F-STOP mechanic, whatever it is.
The Final Hours of Half-Life 3, please, Keighley. Or, better yet, another Raising the Bar.

Guys,
Got Portal 2 and Flatout to give away. Add me on steam on same username as here
Can I have Portal 2 please? still haven't played it.
Dang wish this happened to me. Been a while since I had prime though. Are you guys able to talk about Risen 2 or is an NDA under effect?

Junior, please.
You could always create a Favorites list and just view that the whole time, that way you control what you're seeing.

I'm still hoping for another Portal 2 sale. C'mon Valve, just one week left.
Oh missed this - It's not the money, it's that I can't use a coupon. There was a certain warm feeling knowing that I'd be able to use at least one of those stupid things I earned during the holidays.
So you're saying it's not 2 + 0 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 0 = 23 = Half-Life 2: Episode Three?
Daily deal: And Yet It Moves for 2,24 Euro (75%).
Played this game during christmas to get the coal achievements, it's quite a fun puzzle/platform type of game but the art style is a bit off, it just turns into a brown mess when you keep rotating.
Sotch! Or something... that sound effect when you die. Heard it quite a few times while trying to get winter achievement, heh. Great game though. Got hooked on it for a while. Looking forward to their next one.

Is there a reason I haven't seen many of you guys in my XBMC thread? I actually expected Steam-GAF to be all over it considering we have a sad-session about Big Picture Mode every few months. Here's a taste:
Where the fuck are the risen 2 forums?
I want to tell the devs that vsync fucks up the mouse acceleration >:[

Cool looking but Steam for me is minimal or nothing

I used to use xbmc for movies, but trying it work with my wmc remote was a bit of a pain, had to use a 3rd party application and even then I could not map out the keys as I wanted.

That's not a Steam skin, that's my games library displaying within XBMC. It's a substitute for Big Picture Mode for people who want to have their PC hooked up to the TV and use something other than KB/M to control it.
My thread is all about using a 360 controller so you can turn your PC into a true HD console, so if you have one of those you can get bizzy.
Then what the hell is wrong with you?!
My XBMC system can't run most current PC games, I'm still waiting for Steam's big picture mode.
Oh sorry. I'm even less interested then.
What's that skin called? Looks much better than default, but I don't I'll ever succumb to couch mode. I just like installing pointless things I'll never touch again in my computer. Though that was what I thought when i first installed Steam...Is there a reason I haven't seen many of you guys in my XBMC thread?

Let me know if you find the official forum, I wanna discuss some stuff too.
Does the NDA allow me to say the beta was fantastic?

Hey, can anyone give me an informed opinion on Serious Sam 2? I watched the movie, thought it looked interesting but a little "Xbox-y" (if that makes any sense, like the UI was made for 480p or something), and need a friendly nod either way - yay, or nay, even for £2.38?
Also, thanks for the heads-up on the Risen 2 beta (and yes, that NDA is scary as fuck), but I signed up for the IGN Prime free trial to get free King Arthur, Rochard and lifetime 15% off at Gamersgate (ridiculous to get all that for free!) - but wasn't the trial only meant to last a week? So why did I get an email about this, and how am I downloading the beta right now?
Or is it one of those things never spoken of aloud in these hallowed halls of GAFhalla, lest it bring down the sky upon our heads? In which case, I'll shut up about it now.
