So bought Binding of Isaac for $5, mere hours later on sale for .99.

First Steam lesson learned.

is it on sale right now? I have been thinking about playing that game but it freaks me the fuck out

Yeah for 45ish more hours or so. It’s pretty fun.

Binding of Isaac is one of the most addictive games I’ve ever played I think I have like 70+ hours and I got it during steam winter sale last year, not having played it in like 4 months :rofl:

The random power ups that determine if it’s even possible for you to beat the game, and all the different endings make it get better and better each playthrough. Also it handles secrets better than just about any game ever, keep playing…

Binding of Isaac is awesome. It’s like a…SHMUP rougelike, best I can describe it.

Random level designs, random enemy/room spawns, relatively random boss order spawns…and it can all be completed within an hour.

Totally recommended, especially if it’s .99

Binding of Isaac is good but it’s pretty buggy on Flash. A remake on a new engine will be coming out sometime in 2014.

Really digging the new Shadow Warrior. It’s funny that they went in the opposite direction of the original game. In the original game you had a sword and shurikans but your guns were way better for dealing with all of the enemies and virtually all of them do tons of damage (even on Easy) and kamikaze. In the remake the Sword is way better then your guns and once you’ve upgraded the sword there’s no reason to use the guns unless you’re dealing with flying enemies or bosses. And even then the guns have to be upgraded in order to unlock their secondary attack. And that’s one change I don’t like, having to unlock the secondary attack and secondary attack is WAY the fuck better then what you start out with. The default guns aside from the machine gun are virtually worthless without the upgrades.

street fighter x tekken full pack was on steam for ÂŁ10 so I bought it

high five?

Poor guy. At least you have access to nude skins.

Aww yeah.

Is there a way to get a Logotech to work for Mass Effect on PC. I don’t want to buy a new controller til Xbone’s controller drops and I really want to finish it so I can clear some space.

Just to show what it might/will be like to configure this thing for pre-Steam Pad games.

So, this steam box will allow you to play PC games without a PC or do you still need it?

It’s not just one device. It’s more like your computer could run SteamOS which is linux based. But there will also be machines dedicated to playing games and running SteamOS and also machines that can stream your Steam library from your computer at lower price point. We’ll have more details soon I’m sure since the beta is supposed to start this year.

@FurryCurry:

Who’s the two little people doodling in your avatar? :slight_smile:

I see, thanks. Hope we get more info soon. I was considering upgrading my PC (never done it before) or waiting for this steam box thing if it can play games on its own.

Shantea and Shovel Knight, from the games of the same name I believe.

so before I get a chance to even play street fighter x tekken my ds3 tool refuses to work, maybe it knows? :confused:

if you want an alternative to motionjoy, try Xinput Wrapper

SpeedRunners is on sale, it is mandatory that you all buy it as I have soooo much fun playing it with people. God damn good game.

Also, it supports stick play. YEAH!

I was thinking about it but then I want to wait for it to go on super sale like isaac just did.
