But can you think of a better way to represent an octopus in a suit?

Though it is, I suppose, fairly accurate, you shouldn't have to sacrifice gameplay for the idea.

From what I can see, the difficult controls are the very reason the game exists. Being an octopus ordinary human Dad is tough work, y'know.

So I just had the absolute strangest series of hands in Poker Night at the Inventory.

I had eliminated Max, Strong Bad and the Heavy. I was sitting on 38,000~, Tycho was sitting on 11,000~. Five hands later, I'm sitting on 12,000~ and Tycho's at 37,000~. Why?

Tycho got the following in a row:
Four of a kind(Aces)
Two Pair(Aces and Kings)
A pair of Aces(in his hole cards no less)
A straight(Jack high)
A Heart flush.

I think the dealer was paid to stack the deck.

So, uh...

Deus Ex? HL2? Anyone? Still got a few copies here.


Also, wow, Bit Trip is one difficult game.

Have you sent a Half-Life 2 over to BlackFox? She'd quite like a copy.

Oh. No, I haven't. My bad. Got to add her for that, mind.

Blackfox, what's your name on Steam?


Also, I just played Rhythm Zone. Neat game, but ow, I have a headache now. My vision was kinda swimming for a whole minute after finishing a song.

Currently practicing on this and oh god why. Maybe I need to pick something easier.

Because she's not about, tah dah.

Also, I like how her most recent group is Jibar. This amuses me.

Done.

Also, are you even human any more, or did you just transcend into some sort of in-joke singularity?

Left4Dead 2 is now mine via impulse buy just so I can actually join you guys when you are rounding up a crowd. Huzzah! For everyone who doesn't have this game yet, it's only 5 bucks so you should consider it for all your zombie infected killing needs.

First Impulse Buy Ever!

I wouldn't mind a copy of HL2, if you still have one.

As I said before, you'll need to add me back before I can gift anything :smalltongue:


Also: Audiosurf. I really should know better.

Well, I have actually played HL2 in a friends house, but don't actually have it, so if you end up without any other people to give it to...

You already have me added too, I think.

I did. Then Steam bugged out and wiped my friends list at one point. Sorry.

Also: Just HL2, or Deus Ex as well?

Right. Added you. Add me back and I'll send HL2.

Also, any guesses as to the next batch of sales?


Edit: All out of HL2 copies now. Still got three Deus Ex.

Some more edit: Game sent, Drascin.

I'm not one to turn away free things, however, I would not want to waste your free copy and generosity. Is Deus Ex actually any good, or is it one of those games where the power of peoples nerddom overcomes them and tells me it's a great game with those weird hypnotized eyes like in cartoons and then I play it and go "Man, now I feel like an arse for wasting this nice gift cuz this game isn't very good."

Either way, I'm Sleverin of New Pork *GitP* on Steam. Are you just Cogwheel or is it another name? (On steam)

It's a bit of each.

Is it overhyped? Yes. Very yes.

Is it a good game that was groundbreaking at the time and still decent fun now? Also yes.

I hope you like conspiracy theories.


Oh, and I'm Cog on Steam. In the GitP group. Added you just now.

Ok, the fact that you admit it makes me willing to play it. And I don't much care for conspiracy theories IRL, but they make me LOL in the most appropriate manner.

Basically, if Just Cause 2 is the Michael Bay game, Deus Ex is Dan Brown, only less stupid. Still impossible to take at all seriously.

But yes, I finished it recently, and while I can see why it was amazing at the time, it's not quite as great now. Certainly not the best game ever (in my opinion, at least) as many seem to think it is. That said, it's still fun, and one of the better FPS games out there. Especially if you like a bit of RPG mixed in.



Edit: Counting the copy EleventhHour has yet to claim, I have one copy of Deus Ex left. One. Any takers?

Alright, new deals are going up as we speak.

Anyone who wants TF2, the Orange Box is available for ~£5, and an 8-pack of Just Cuz 2 is £40.

And there's some other stuff that I'm less interested in.

lulz@ Valve x2:

You know you were doing this:

Valve outdoes their super-discounting ways again:

That's 3 0% discounts, in case you missed it.

Yeah, noticed that.

If you lack the Orange Box, get it.

JC2 pack for $60. My god, this will be painful. I'd get the game on its own, but people are kinda-sorta-maybe counting on me for free stuff.


Also, so getting The Ball, unless it's secretly terrible. Thoughts, anyone?


And Mount&Blade. I suppose I better get that too. Not the pack, though. Sorry >_>



Edit: So, Patrician 4 boasts cog ships.

Ladies and gentlemen I am boat.

Cog, I'm willing to fork out the money for the JC2 pack. Just let me know and I'll be the provider of free stuff for a change.

But that would be wrong. Wrong like the busboatplane.

I don't understand.

Cogwheel is now the best person ever. That is all.

LIES. LIES AND SLANDER.

Seriously now.



Potato: I have never received a gift in my life and as a result would feel horribly guilty if that were to ever happen. So yeah, I'm buying :smalltongue:
