Seems like one of those high priority titles for a multiplatform port.
I don't know why but games focused on trains does it for me. I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

According to webIceandFireMD your diagnosis is "What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger".
I think it means you might get some sort of erectile disorder.
That's what backlogs are for.

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.
My Extra Life 2016 page is up and running for this year's game-streaming marathon.
I'll have more to announce soon, hopefully IsThereAnyDeal can sponsor my stream again this year with games I'll be able to give away - and we'll have new Enhanced Steam profile badges again this year as well.

I searched "Harambe" and got no results, so there's at least one.
I didn't search "dicks out" so we're not in the clear, yet.

Is it normal that Sorcery Part 4 is sold for a price discounted by 40%?
Edit: The discount for Part 3 at the time of release was only 25%.

Considering that you can't yet buy it on Steam at all? Yeah, pretty sure that's a little abnormal.

Nice looking forward to it
I'll probably be leaning on you guys to help me pick games I'll be playing during the steam. I try to keep them recent (within the last 18 months), available on Steam (obviously), and having Steam achievements (because I'm somewhat shallow and like to look back after 24 hours and see all the stuff I've unlocked). Also, obviously, I'd like them to be at least somewhat entertaining to watch and not so challenging with puzzles and such that people don't have to sit and watch me figure something out for 20 minutes before being able to move on.
So far I'm thinking:
Abzu
Telltale Batman
Xcom 2
Inside
Slime Rancher
Firewatch
Technomancer
Hyper Light Drifter
Danganronpa
Superhot
Deus Ex MD
Hitman GO
Maybe some more, not sure

The controller is so weird though.
Hearts of Iron IV and Stellaris. There's your 24 hours all planned for.
Buy both, get best of both worlds.
popGAF comes when it's called. DESPAIR!
Valve did say they were working on a smaller/streamlined version. I'm waiting to see how that one goes.

listen to the mad man
by my calculations, the total software sales of kickstarter+indiegogo software on Steam is about 50,000,000 units.
the total software sales of the Wii U, period, are 88,000,000 units.
the total software sales of the Wii U, period, are 88,000,000 units.
Hot dayum that is a rough look for the Wii U. Here's to hoping that most of those sales are of Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X (two amazing games that everyone should play). I know that isn't the case though and that is sad.
A week of stability until the absolutely nuts expansion cards arrive.Duelyst is out.
I've always liked Gorehorn, but not *that* much. (a 3-mana minion that gets bonus attack and doesn't get counterattacked if it hits straight from behind, and gets +1/+1 after each initiated attack)
I still wonder how many people really want mouse acceleration on mouse and why it's so often turned on by default and even worse, like with Deus Ex, no option to turn it off. It makes sense with gamepads but they put a lot of effort into the PC version, again. For me it makes the game almost unbearable to play. You are using mouse at all times outside of cutscenes so 100% of the time Deus Ex feels like crap to play. It doesn't help that the mouse sensitivity slider is just weird and there's no setting that feels right although it's probably also the mouse acceleration that throws me off.

Total Warhammer is a good time. You will say waaaaagh!
What's the new player experience like for this? Tutorials and stuff, but also entering the ladder initially. The game looks super interesting from the little bit I've looked around.
As much as I love XCOM 2, it's a real sleep inducer to watch someone else play.

My chocobo got sick of me just sitting on it and it taking me from place to place and decided to join me in battle
FF14 is some gooood fun! I'm about to google if i can get a house to dump off loot, find out how to build a stable, and best way to raise my chocobo.

On the ladder initially, the biggest hurdle will be knowing how to play the positioning aspect. Missplays will result the vast majority of your losses rather than your deck quality. When to step back, when to get in somebody's face, when/what to body block, when to grab/block/deny the +1 mana tiles that are on the board, etc.
Even at tournament level, people still easily do game-deciding missplays. The skill ceiling is that high.
Packs and cards themselves are very easy to acquire. You do your daily quests and get maybe 4 wins during this little girnd (btw, there are no "win X matches with Y class" daily quests), and you can easily get a pack per day, in addition to the Steam achievements that also give cards/packs/gold. And if you don't get the cards you want, the crafting rate is also pretty fair. You can easily get a genuinely competitive deck in a month if you focus on one or two factions.
Abzu and Inside are INCREDIBLE. Hyper Light Drifter is pretty good, too. Firewatch is kinda meh.
But really, Inside is fucking awesome and so is ABZÛ.
That sounds solid. I'm fine with losing and learning, just dont want to feel like I have objectively no chance because of card disadvantage or something. Is playing multiple factionsand switching around a big thing?

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.
Noted. Was wondering about that. Feels like my list is mostly indie this year - not that it's a bad thing. There just haven't been too many big AAA games come out this year that I'm interested in that I haven't already played.
Although I might add a few games to the list that haven't come out yet - maybe Dead Rising 1 and Skyrim Legendary Edition.
Thanks for the feedback. Abzu and Inside also look like they're kinda short and could be pretty engaging which is really what I'm looking for here. Of course I always try to go into my Extra Life games as blind as possible so that it's almost like spending 24 hours doing quick one or two hour "what I think" type game reviews in fairly rapid succession.
Oxenfree would be a good one to play.
Only in tournaments because there they tend to have a format of "each player brings 3 factions, first player to have 1 win with each faction deck wins" a good chunk of the time.
Then there are "play 4 matches with faction X" daily quests, but every quest can be rerolled once per day and any unfinished daily will pile a small reward into "play 3 matches" quest.
Other than that, not really that significant. Pick a favorite and go for it.

I loved Aviary Attorney
thanks DrDogg!
Sora is a nice shmup/action game, its kinda hard if you're not used to the genre though.
Deus Ex so far is pretty damn good. I've had excellent performance, and found only a few areas where my computer dips into the 50fps. Only annoyance are bugs that they need to fix
Not quite. They said they are working on a new version that wouldn't be anything drastic changing in terms of features, only minor feature changes are a possibility, an improvement of "look and feel" / "rough edges". A valve guy was in the Controller thread and said they are only in the prototyping phase, so it won't be around for a long time anyway

And that's usually where the wheels fall off on these live streams. This is my fourth year doing Extra Life, and some sure some of you can remember a few of the games I've played where you all were probably rolling your eyes at puzzles I wasn't getting right away or instances where I died over and over again.
Also I found out with Hatoful Boyfriend that maybe visual novels don't usually work too well in this regard, unless maybe I read all the dialog aloud.
I suppose that above all else I like to at least think I'm entertaining people. I've found that story-heavy games usually work the best for this type of format, but I think I've also had some various degrees of success in other genres throughout the years.
I don't think there are vaults anymore. They haven't done those in months i think...
