I don't know what ELSE to talk about though... I'm not spending money on DS because I hear NOTHING good about it (that wasn't better on a console).

I will ask... how can I find if someone would have copies of HL/HL2 for Steam they'd be willing to sell or trade? I know I've seen the half-life complete stuff on sale but I really don't remember it on the Summer Sale but I've been debating finally trying the series.

The group forums thing looks nice; better than trying to hold a conversation via comments. The rest didn't move me much either way.

I know. I don't have one of them there iThingies. I do have a Nook Color w/CM7 and a Nexus 7 on pre-order (still waiting -- it was a good deal). Seven inch tablets fit in all my purses (this is a big big plus). That and I'd always choose my MacBook Air over a 10 incher.

Honestly I've never had a problem with malware on Android, but I don't go installing software like Angry Birdzzz all willy nilly (though I have ~100 apps). I tend to use it for web, reference materials, videos, and the occasional game.

But that's the thing. Those are all ports, and I don't even care for JRPGs to begin with. Bard's Tale was raucously entertaining but it was a middling hack and slash that would be awful on virtual sticks.

I mean, on Ios, if we're counting really good games, that number is quite small. Android is almost by definition going to have a much smaller number.

He might have been an admiral, a sultan, or a king
And to his praises we shall always sing
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us up with cheer
Lord bless Charlie Mops,
The man who invented beer

So, uh, about those disabled Asian women...

A new thread already? Dang, I wasn't even close to being caught up on the old one!

I'm feeling depressingly under whelmed already. On the bright side, those without a Google Portable World Domination Device (GPWDD) won't feel too left out.

Originally Posted by hal That happens to me sometimes too. Usually I restart Steam and find I have a ton of pop-up Steam ads awaiting (today there were 9). It's like it chokes Steam or something....

Also, with the new Steam features stuff and the TF2 MvM coop going live soon, I wouldn't be surprised if there's even more downtime imminent.

I agree, but so far very few developers are willing to commit medium/significant resources to phone/tablet game, and if they are hitting any platforms makes good business sense. That's why I like ports, games that had been given a nice level of development resources. Emulators count in that too (though are less point-and-drool in setup).

So when's the next Magicka sale? Still don't own it.

So how about the 1C bundle from Amazon that is coming soon for $14.99 (almost identical to the Gamersgate Bundle, but they will have an option for steam keys!

Brace yourself, you may be in for a bit of a shock. Welcome to 2012. The Olympics are over. Steam is being challenged in sales by a handful of upstarts in the Digital Download market. The apocalypse hasn't happened (yet).

In other news forum goers on CAG have discovered 2010 man.

Sad thing is I paid like 38ish during the sale just for kings bounty and the death to spies bundles with necrovision and cryostatis This is why buying a ton of games ahead of time is a bad idea.
