Let's talk about Stream and buy mountains of games - Page 793 - Video Games

I can't imagine the dadding committee looking kindly on dlk9s for that, and I suspect they would force him to give back his #1 Dad trophy which he worked so hard for.

lol telling my kid to wait

"I know it's your birthday and you were given a game you REALLY want to play...and play with your father, but let's wait a while to see if we can save five bucks. How's that sound?"

I have a few other games I'm getting him, too. It was just fortunate that a friend asked if there were any games he wanted, so I could pass off Cuphead onto them and shorten my list.

Because of the Atlanta Snowgeddon 2017, we had to postpone my boy's birthday party. Naturally, he cried a bit, so because he was going to get Cuphead tomorrow from someone else (via Steam GC), I bought it for him today. Made his weekend. He'll probably wake up at 5:00am to play.

What will make MY weekend is if a tree/branch doesn't fall on our house. A huge one already fell from one of our trees onto the street.

Didn't get any notice or anything, but apparently I got Prey for free during the award show last night. Just saw it in my library and looked at my purchase history and it said it was complimentary from The Game Award 2017 giveaway.

Anyone else win anything?

Nope, but good to hear someone got something, especially one as generous as yourself.

I only played through the hour long demo they released but iirc even that had a few jump scares.

Thanks. Everything's cool. Of course, there is still time for a weak Atlanta tree or huge branch to crash onto the house, but other than that, we're good.

It's actually a really nice day today. Did the whole snowman thing and what-not.

I highly doubt I can run it on my current laptop, but when I get a new one in a year or two, I should be fine.

Played it for an hour, I see the appeal but I somehow feel that I'm not too excited about this game. What's wrong?

It feels like a collectathon in a pretty dress.

Assassins creed? I played the second one for a while but yeah they’re just not too exciting.

They start pretty slow but I liked 2 and Black Flag.

I think I played both AC 1 and AC 2 for 5-10 hours. They were ok and I enjoyed the plot well enough, but I never really felt the urge to return.

good--I don't have most of these humble jingle yogcast games and a few I did were good enough to trade for other games
bad--I probably won't play any of them

When I posted about the Yogscast bundle, I was confusing it with a different bundle. I was thinking that it was the bundle that previously offered Stardew Valley + The Witness + a bunch of other good games, but it turns out that I was thinking of the Freedom Bundle which came a little later. Sorry, I'm the worst.

Nice, I still have the original game on CD.

However, this one I can actually play.

Finally got around to playing Road Redemption for the 1st time since it left early access.

OMG I feel like I'm back in HS playing Road Rash on my PS1 or sega genesis but with modern day graphics. Can't wait to give online a try. I have dreamt of cattle-prodding my friends since I can remember
