Psychonauts FOR A £1 on STEAM
 
GENTLEMEN START YOUR ORGASMING

Note: You should only start orgasming if you haven't played it or you really want to play it again, but cannot find it. :D

Personally I have just shot off in my boxers and blew a hole in front ;)

Takoto 01-28-2010 11:16 AM

I... god-damn... I wish I had a credit or debit card...I've always wanted Psychonauts...

Wil 01-28-2010 11:46 AM

Just bought it, only to find it requires twice as much disk space as I have on my Windows partition. Lame.

Find a way. It's the best game ever made.

Also be warned. Its only for today.

Go tell that to WoF. He's currently using you as an excuse for why he hasn't played it.


It's only $2 in the American currency Steam Store. I recommend everyone get a controller to play the game, as my experience playing the demo was that it felt pretty crappy on the keyboard controls.

Taco 01-28-2010 01:37 PM

Shite. I would've bought that but there's no money left on Paypal

No hurry, I've played it through to 100% completion several times already. I just thought, since my Xbox is never coming back, I'll buy it on Steam.

Oh shit, I installed it. There go the next few days of my life.

Hobo 01-28-2010 03:13 PM

If anyone wants to gift it to the_jenk I might love you. Might.

Taco 01-30-2010 05:24 PM

so I finally got psychonauts, not bad after I got used to the fact that all characters are gonna be mutated and disfigured in a cartoony way

Nate 01-30-2010 06:20 PM

Sadly, this deal didn't last near long enough. I was describing it to a guy yesterday and when he seemed interested I hinted that I might buy it for him "Because a world where more people have played Psychonauts is a better world for all". Unfortunately, by the time I got home the deal had ended.

Still, how awesome was it that I was on a date with a guy for whom a present of a computer game would be considered much higher than flowers or chocolate?

Taco 01-30-2010 10:53 PM

That is pretty awesome. But I still don't understand, what's so awesome about THIS game? I mean yeah it seems okay but.. I haven't been wowed by anything just yet. I didn't even know psychonauts even existed until late last year

Nate 01-30-2010 11:28 PM

It's smart. It's funny. It's got brilliant characters. As you explore the camp, you will find masses of hidden subplot and subtext that no other developer would bother including. Some moments make you hurt inside with laughter. Other moments are just totally fucked up; if you have even a fraction of a soul, Clem and Crystal's subplot will grab at your heartstrings until, once again, you hurt inside (but for very different reasons). The milk is delicious.

Wil 01-31-2010 02:13 AM

My computer can't handle it. Uninstalled. Sad panda.

MarsMudoken 01-31-2010 02:26 AM

I want this game. I've never even touched it :(...

T-nex 01-31-2010 02:33 AM

I bought this game, started playing it, and then I don't know what happened. I got stuck on the thing with the button I think. I had the button, but then I did stuff and for some reason I didn't have it anymore, and I couldn't move on when I had to use it.
I've been meaning to play it again but I really hate double-work. Meaning having to play everything over again cos of something like glitches, not saving, already having played it.

Hm... Come to think of it, I think it's been long enough since I played it, that I wont be bothered, as I can't remember most things. It will feel like I'm playing it for the first time ^^

Are you sure you didn't just use the button to open the Geodesic PSYCHO-Isolation Chamber but then didn't realise it had been opened?

Anyway, good luck on your replay.

Wil 01-31-2010 05:33 AM

I remember for some reason having a great difficulty using the button and getting into the GPC.

Well I really don't remember much... I just remember that you had to place that button on the stick, right? ... I didn't have the button when the time came.

May be remembering it completely wrong though :p

I heartily endorse this event or product. It feels a bit like Rayman 3, the characters are excellently played and it includes my poison, persistent hub areas.

'Is your name Joey? 'Cause I want to call you Slowy Joey.'
'My name's not Joey.'
'Can't hear you, Slowy! You're talking too slow!'

OANST 02-01-2010 06:57 AM

Wait until you get to the Milkman level. The spies have some of the best dialogue ever written.

"Over time my husband will desire me less sexually, but he will always enjoy my pies".

Nate 02-01-2010 04:24 PM

The other day I read through the campers' profiles that Tim Schafer created for each one as a character-development tool. Aside from pointing out some of the subtleties of relationships that weren't always obvious in the game, it's amazing the amount of backstory he had for each character. Even to the point of (my favourite character) Elton's dad being in the Navy and, after he died, Elton's mother turned to prostitution to support them.

Aleks55 02-01-2010 07:54 PM

It may be cheap right now on steam, but last I checked it was free off gametap.

Now that I thin about it I never got around to reinstalling it into my new hard drive.

Nate 02-01-2010 08:10 PM

But you have to have a gametap subscription, which is not free.

Crashpunk 02-10-2010 09:36 AM

I Bought Psyconaughts in the sale and I simply love it. I've just started the game and so far it's brillient.

MeechMunchie 02-11-2010 09:08 AM

I think Sasha Nein my be the coolest* game character ever.

*In the traditional sense of being smooth, casual and sophisticated.

Nate 02-11-2010 04:00 PM

Nah, Mikhael is cooler. He wrestles motherfucking bears, after all.

OANST 02-12-2010 08:50 AM

Can't hide forever, bear. Mikhael will find you.

Taco 02-21-2010 10:49 PM

Finally finished Psychonauts. I enjoyed it overall. If i didnt have high expecations for graphics because of all the new games, I would've loved it. So basically if I played it when it came out in 2005 or whatever I definately would've loved it
