Voted for comedy set. Blood Dragon will be mine

Lol this is going to be the 3rd or 4th time Blood Dragon goes down to that price in the last few days. When a game comes out, check out every other game in the franchise. Blood Dragon was a flash sale a few days ago but also went down when FarCry3 was a flash sale as well. And a third time when Call of Juarez went on Flash sales (because it has a pack with Blood Dragon).

I know that, I’m just saying there was potential

I am still debating grabbing it, but my backlog is NUTS now, and I just picked up a new contract at work, so I am gonna be hella busy.

That being said, I just grabbed Left for Dead 2, Battlefront 2, and Castle Crasher’s.

edit: I have a couple extra badge #1,#2, and #3, if anybody needs em

Awesomenauts has been a dollar (or almost been) like 3 times lol

I’m lucky to get L4D2 for free last Christmas. Also is it wise to wait for CS:GO to be cheaper (not guaranteed) or should I get it now?

I have actually never played a Counterstrike game before, lol. I was debating picking that up, as my mindless shooter.

@Smashbro29ā€Œ Let me make this simple, Gone Home may not require as many inputs as say Bayonetta or Street Fighter, but the fact that it requires button inputs at all definitively make it just as much a video game as those 2 series’ it’s just a different type of game. The fact that you call it a first person indie film proves your dislike for the game’s mechanics and unconventional approach has made you blind to the fact that it uses it’s mechanics and approach to make a statement about the medium of video games itself. The player is free to explore the house as much or as little as wanted, finding information and playing the game at his/her own pace and that’s integral to the overall intent of the game, without that it would be a completely different experience.

Spoiler

While Gone Home obviously isn’t a horror game, it’s intentionally designed to make the player believe it may be one up until the reveal at the end and in that sense it is very successful IMO. It gives a very strong sense of isolation, you can read about your family, but that only reminds you the player how alone you currently are, the setting really creates a creepy and tense atmosphere making you on edge and acnticipating some scares or something evil. The plot twist at the end is not just a bait and switch tactic used for shock value, but more importantly it’s meant to make you the player ask yourself why you were expecting it to be scary in the first place? Why as a player were you so eager to believe the game’s red herrings and why did you want it to be a horror game so badly? Why couldn’t you accept the game at face value and not read into it the way you are right now? In short, it plays with gamer’s expectations and turns them on it’s head, it’s one of those games that gets better the more you think about it IMO.

I completely understand why some people may hate Gone Home, but no one can deny it is a very intelligent game with a crystal clear vision.

If anyone needs a new SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171740&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL062614&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL062614--EMC-062614-Index--SSD-_-20171740-L05C

Honestly, my first time playing CSS was like a suspense thriller. Like respawning? Too bad, wait till next round.

It’s definitely not a mindless shooter. You will get smoked the first couple of hours. However, if you want to shoot up a candy store, might I recommend the Zombie Escape mod?

Valaris, I’m broke so that SSD tease hurts so much…

thats a hella good price. I got so lucky with mine.

left 4 dead 2 for 5 instabuy

SSD for Notebook
Gaming

Sizewise is it gonna fit into a Desktop so long as you buy one of those adapters?

@RoGE9ā€Œ ad you’re loving it add me on steam zoolanderbeast is my tag I’m always playing awesomenauts and anyone else who wants to learn the game or just play message me on steam :tup:

And fuck all y’all bitches who didn’t vote for the rogugelike bundle :chainsaw:

I actually know a woman who looks like the ā€œwatā€ woman’s twin sister. So I hate that meme. Like loathe.

But yeah, you can put an adapter in it, and some cases even have slots for laptop drives now, since the SSDs can practically be just about any form factor they want.

:tup:

the SSD has the exact same adaptors as a desktop ssd. Guessing you’ll just need a mountain bracket or something.

Yo, Zoo! I’ma hit up dat Awesomenaughts since I’m a LoL player and wouldn’t mind playing with some SRK’ers. :tup:

:rofl: @ mindless shooter.

you will never play it again after 4 days.

Counter-Strike is probably the least mindless shooter you can pick for PC imo. I’m staying out of this Steam sale, been splurging too much and I don’t play games too much anymore sadly.

fuck, this FTL game is hard :frowning:
