What mods/tweaks are you using?
And Valve fixing the horrible title sequencing make me temporarily happy and forgetful of my terrible fuckups on my exams.

Do you use any mods? Looks better than I remember vanilla looking.
Also, how is your rig?

I do
but yeah - Stronghold Crusader is a pretty good game - definitely worth it at the current price

just won that M&M thing for the 8th time, whats the best way of adding the funds to your steam account without having to get locked out of the market everytime?
Well that's certainly one way to play. Certainly skill plays a factor, and a skilled player is going to dominate a casual player the same as any other multiplayer game.
The point is that Smash Bros does not require the pure memorization that turns off many people (myself included) from the fighting game genre. To bring it back to Abyss Odyssey so as to not be completely off topic, this means that people who are getting turned off from the game because of fear of memorization are probably very much off base.
I've been meaning to do this for a while. For a long while.
Better late than never I suppose. Maybe someone can invite me to the NeoGAF group too? (http://steamcommunity.com/id/breakyboy)

That reminds me, I need to go check that out. I think I tried it a couple years after it launched and couldn't get a full server going.
I wonder if GoldenEye Source being released as a standalone mod on Steam would help it's numbers? I love that game but no one plays it anymore hardly.
Oh I forgot about Enslaved thnx
There's this series of Iranian GoW clones that I can't remember the names of for the life of me, but they're not very good. Certainly not as god-tier as Marlow Briggs.

Just quote the post in this thread?
My short review of Valiant Hearts. Thanks again Shadownet for giving it to me!
I'm not really good with reviews, but hopefully I can sway you to get it if you've been on the edge. It really is a great game with a captivating story to tell.
TL
Story: The game is set during WWI, and follows the personal struggles and hardships of 4 characters as they are forced into such a terrible war. Each of the characters has their own set of motivations that are revealed to you throughout the game, and you can't help but root for them as you get to know them better. The narrator for this game gives us brief summaries of the happening of the war between each gameplay section, setting the tone and giving us an understanding of the situation the character finds themselves in. Though hardly conclusive, the game does manage to give us a cohesive outline of the war, with optional tidbits for us to read to gain more insight on the war. Overall, the game did a good job telling the story, and you get caught up in the situation the characters find themselves in. Whether it's feeling the rush in the heat of battle or the sadness as you witness all the death around you, the game portrays it well to the player.
Music and Sound: The music was good and very fitting for the game. Each scenario had a perfect track accompanying it. Likewise, the little quips and grunts from the characters added a certain charm and personality to the game, from gruff Freddie to gentle Anna. The music really add a lot to this game simply because of how much it helps get the feeling of the situation across. Whether it's a sad melody or a quick one for an escape, the game has a phenomenal soundtrack that suits it perfectly.
Gameplay: The gameplay in this game was quite varied, from the traditional puzzle adventure elements where you control your character as they interact with the environment, to mini-games such as you escaping in a car or a rhythm game as you heal people. All of it fits well with the story and situation, and doesn't feel out of place or weird, if not tad simple. In addition, each character has their own set of skills, which adds to the diversity of the game, even if they are technically the same gameplay-wise. Being in the middle of battle with Freddie/Emille and thinking on your feet feels quite different from Anna running around in medical unit trying to save as many lives as she can. Though the gameplay may not be anything revolutionary and is simple, it does it well and is diverse enough to stay enjoyable for the entire game, and then some.
I'm not really good with reviews, but hopefully I can sway you to get it if you've been on the edge. It really is a great game with a captivating story to tell.

Does Crysis steam have any extra DRM? like limited activation/authorization bullshit?

Duh, my mind doesn't work today. Sorry!
Yeah, I didn't have the time at the moment to re-do the post from scratch, since I moved some things around from the Modbot created post.
Thanks Stump!

Try getting in touch with support. That doesn't sound right. I mean unless the average jumped before you finished the transaction or something, which can happen.

Contact the site's support team, I'm sure they'll give you keys for Tier 2 if you explain it to them. From what I understand, the Humble support team is actually kind of good.
I don't know, those impressions seemed fine to me

Nothing organized going on AFAIK, but I'll be getting on in about 45 minutes.

No easily. Steam has one of the worst 'order history' setups I've ever dealt with.

Anyone can guess what the next games in the tier 2 could be? Just paid for the tier 1, since I owned every game besides Darkness 2.

Anyone know how to unlock the 3rd book of fables entry in Wolf Among Us Episode 5?
It's the one between:
That's a game where the GAF hype doesn't sync up with my tastes apparently.
Solid for $1, maybe.
A real gem? Fuck no.

Look and see how much it thinks you need to increase your payment to, it may only need a penny or two more.

Stump posted about it in the last thread.
I'm leaning more towards thinking that Borderlands or Civ V will be the bonuses more than anything else.

Not even close. It's not a bad entry in the genre, but something is off. Add in the story that I didn't really give a damn about, really annoying cutscenes, and a gaping hole left where there should have been boss fights and I'm not of the mind to put it anywhere near the A list character action games. It's B tier to me at best.

Yeah, until they start posting on steam boards.
You can use anything with ModBot. How did you get the key? They handing them out somewhere?
