at least it's not as bad as the bellbros in 2

those fuckers are the worst scumbags in the history of videogames

I'm here for you, bro. Step into the building and I'll give you a warm embrace.
Yeah I think I will pick up bg2:ee . And that's it for me and rpgs, have a bunch unplayed/unfinished. Already wanna finish shadowrun:dragonfall, dragon age origins, witcher 2,wasteland 2,south park. Oh god that's a lot of playtime. Have to stop playing awesome roguelikes that never end!

That's a solid lineup for now through 2017.

Roguelikes really are the destroyers of backlogging.

Yeah and I'm terribly close to picking up Rocket League as well. At least I'm not into collectibles,100% games and quit Lol. But still, I want to try out even more older rpgs like Planescape Torment. And what about Pillars of Eternity, Divinity original sin.
What a time to be into RPGs though!

A Stardock Entertainment published game co-developed by Oxide Games and Stardock is the PC-ass PC game he uses to deflect a question. At least with the final GFWL re-launch they had Microsoft Flight Simulator and a shitty f2p Age of Empires to try and bullshit people with, now they don't even have a game of their own to use.

That's how serious their commitment to PC gaming is.

It is weird that they are trying to make this massive power play while holding the weakest hand they've had in years in terms of games. Scalebound is pretty much the only game they have in their pipeline that I would even consider touching their store or UWAs for.

i wasted so many coins on the one with the cat that hangs on your back, i ended up getting all the outfit pieces in that one and on my last ticket i scored the cat. if you're interested on that piece the trick to getting it is to make the mii hit the first little dot on the left and have the moving bumper be sort of a support to stop your momentum so you can land on it.

Got that one on my 2nd try oddly enough after seeing so many having problems with it.

Thanks for the hint though!
 
so before I get that mad max bundle thing, how do i cancel the auto renewal? it won't somehow screw me over from not getting May's bundle if i cancel it, right?

funny thing is that i finally got it after so many attempts but I'm not even wearing it atm, I'm using the white kitten sweater and the cat I got was white, so you can barely see the kitten, I'll use it whenever i change my shirt tho :p

I think the Salsa and general hype from Hyper Light Drifter is getting to me.

but my hype for disgaea didn't get you to buy that game tho? :(

I anticipated that problem, and went with the grey kitten. I don't actually have the sweater though. Just kept getting skirts.

I may have a key to sell you then, if the dev/backerkit ever fixes my platform choice. Support indicated they would switch my platform choice, but my humble page hasn't updated yet.

Beware though, the game is pretty barebones in terms of things you generally expect from a PC game, good sir.

Bamco now asking streamers not to stream Dark Souls 3... a little too late for that Bamco. How about not completely fucking up your release next time?

Yea it's dumb, I've avoided everything so far, but when streamers you watch are getting keys you have to be careful. Just super annoying.
 

if you don't have any of your card or paypal info saved on steam or any other site and hypothetically the site is hacked is your info still in danger? i always delete my info from sites cause I just assume by law if the user doesn't want their info stored you can't store it. :|

for me the gray one wasn't even an option, it was going to be either the white or black one, i should have went with the black. :p

I can't believe people are selling Nuclear Throne keys for 2-3 dollars. I feel like a lot of people would still bite at 4-5$

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Well, yes and no. There have been some sites compromised that didn't destroy user payment data properly and thus hackers were able to retrieve it even in cases where it had been "removed" from the website. Not to scare you, but it really just comes down to how well company X handles your data on their back end servers.

There is also non-payment data that you could save on your Steam account (such as your address or even account password) that in some ways is up to you to decide how disastrous it would be if it were stolen. This is why you should never reuse passwords.

I see a lot of people offering to buy at that price, but I've only seen one sale. I'd definitely buy at $4-5.

That's like buying a Tecmo game.
 
Thanks! This will be my first Dark Souls game. Is there anything I need to know before playing? I've watched gameplay videos of Dark Souls so I have a general idea of what the game is — an action RPG with great combat and unforgiving difficulty.

Take it slow at first, it can be frustrating until you get the rhythm of the game play down.

Also there are multiple builds to go with but go with the one that feels most comfortable to you. Your build isn't going to be a huge hurdle to getting through the game.

Steam version of PSN Hack when?
Since Sony is publishing left and right on Steam now...

It's not inconceivable to think of something like this happening. For example, the "Paint dry" game could have just as easily been set up as a Free to Play game with an exploitative payload. And they could have called it "Half Life 3" and given it convincing screenshots to the point that potentially millions of users could have been infected before Valve took action. They closed the hole already but in my opinion they got super lucky that it was discovered by a 16 year old kid with little malicious intent.

From what I've personally seen of the developer side of their pages, it doesn't look like they've been updated in ages, and I'd venture a guess that 90% of that code hasn't been touched in (perhaps) 10 years. I know for a fact that their APIs are a bit of a mess from a programming standpoint, and haven't been updated in several years either.

Valve has always had a "we'll fix something, but only once it breaks" attitude which is honestly a bit frightening given how big they've become in recent years.
