When did Steamerking become a Steam advertising bot.

Since I was a Steam(er). I don't pay much attention to Facebook updates, but these seemed good enough for this topic. Well, apparently not...

Half Life 2: Episode 3 now available on Steam http://storestteampowered.com/app/4411/

Hate.

What? I think it looks pretty good.

There's currently a GOG.com sale for games such as Dungeon Keeper 2, Theme Hospital, Syndicate, Magic Carpet, Ultima, Wing Commander and Populous. Each game is being sold for $2.39 with a saving of $3.60 on each game.

IT'S.TIME.FOR.
The Humble Double Fine Bundle

Tim Schafer shaved his beard and moustache.

*quits being a fan*

Sigh. I always like seeing a new Humble Bundle come out, but I've already got half of those games, and those are the only ones I'd consider playing.

Do you feel remorse for supporting developers more by giving them a larger amount of money instead of waiting till their sales go down and buy the games while they're dirt cheap?

Why would I pay for a game that's £30 when I can wait and buy it when it's £10?

That's exactly what I think when a humble bundle comes out.

Thomas was Alone is the only game in that pack that I care about. The rest I either haven't played or dislike. -The disliked game being Little Inferno. One of the most boring games I've ever played. :fuzemb:

Awesomenauts is actually fun, although I haven't played an awful lot of it, to be honest. Considering that's the only game I already have from this Bundle, I might buy it, even if it's just for Hotline Miami's cool soundtrack.

You don't get HM's soundtrack as a standalone, I'm afraid.

I would have been content with just hearing it in the game. But yeah, I saw that when I checked the website.

In the meantime, I've discovered that Sword of the Stars: The Pit is also on sale on Steam. Being a major fan of Dungeons of Dredmor (and roguelikes in general, apparently), I gave the demo a try first before deciding on buying this or not. I think I'm sold. It even takes the feel I had in DoD a bit further by putting more emphasis on survival. Not only do you have to keep your health up through various means, but you also have to eat regularly. So yeah, a nice little sci-fi roguelike with turn based combat, percentages flying everywhere and a lot of scavenging for your dear life.

Thomas Was Alone is really good, and also has a great soundtrack. I enjoyed it immensely. It's one of the first games that comes to my mind when I talk about new ways of telling stories that are only possible through video games.

As for Little Inferno - I enjoyed it, but I don't really think of it as a game. It's more of a toy.

£4.50 for my favourite first-person RPG ever.

And remember, with mods it can look like this.

The normal price for Morrowind Gold in Poland (box) is currently 4 GBP or less

How on Earth is Morrowind better than Skyrim?

Starts with an "N" and rhymes with "Bostalgia".

I don't have any bostalgia for Morrowind but it's still a better game. The graphics are worse, sure but the plot is so much more involved.

Although I do like the dragons in Skyrim.

Also the old more original setting/more daring story choices/greater subtlety in dialogue/weirder creatures arguments.

I've always seen Oblivion as Skyrim's mother - pretty, graceful, playful, nurturing. It passed on its rolling vistas, sense of directed freedom and variety. Morrowind is the father - rugged, principled, hardworking, learned. It passed on (some of) its depth of story, coherent society and attention to detail.

Rape! Slavery! Gays! Roll up, roll up!

¹ So Vivec, who had a grain of Ayem's mercy, set about to teach Molag Bal in the ways of belly-magic. They took their spears out and compared them. Vivec bit new words onto the King of Rape's so that it might give more than ruin to the uninitiated.

² Take care with this slave, friend. She's worth more than you can imagine. Rabinna here might not look like much, but it's what's on the inside that counts. Know what I mean?

Isn't Skyrim simplified as hell, and Morrowind is not?

Morrowind has more skills, but that's about it. I wouldn't say it's more complicated to play.

I keep hearing it takes hours to kill your first rat. That's literally the only thing I ever hear about it.

Of course the story is better, Skyrim's story is really basic, but the gameplay and environments are incredible. Besides combat. I heard Morrowind is huge but it's nowhere near as detailed, you can go for miles without finding anything. Boring.

Pity about 80% of those incredible environments are white and/or grey. Even the green places look washed out. Of course there are mods that make it look amazing which I liberally used.

Morrowind's combat was really irritating, the whole miss/hit thing really pissed me off.
