Any of you nerds actually play that Deadpool game?  I never read a comic by him so I'm not a fan, wondering it is worth it?  Gamefly has the PS3 version on sale and I can always sell it after I play it to get my money back.

MoW is just a nice tidy category of bundle fodder for me. I like how they form a nice distinguishable block in my steam library (vs the the randomly named bundle fodder).

I am bothered by that break in green color block so nicely provided by Enhanced Steam when looking at the collection page.

I liked it alright at first but by about halfway through I had to actually force myself to finish it (mainly because I paid $10 for it and wanted to justify that to myself). The constant repeated one-liners didn't help and it's the first time I hated listening to Nolan North's voice acting.

So.... 10/10? lol There are better ways to spend your time.

 
Humble Weekly Sale is rhythm games.

Dollar for Symphony, Sequence, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER.

Six dollars adds Audiosurf, Beat Hazard Ultra, and Retro/Grade

Soundtracks for four of them.

Worst part of this bundle: I skipped Audiosurf and Beat Hazard Ultra in the recent sales because I assumed they would get thrown into bundledom in the near future.

Not really saving money by waiting for games to get humbled when I can just flip a couple dozen cards instead. You jokers are going to rue the day you said Infestation: Survivor Stories will be bundled, only to see it be in the BTA with Dead Hungry Diner and Zombie Bowl-O-Rama.

It's fun. A bit repetitive and there's a lack of enemy variety, but it's not too long or too short. I enjoyed it on 360.

It's a game that doesn't take itself too seriously, and since you're not a fan "Waypool"-prejudice won't ruin the game for you. (Comic book nerd stuff, don't sweat it).

It's over-the-top, has a pretty good upgrade system as a hack-and-slash with guns.

However, I would recommend YouTubing some footage to see if you have the certain sense of humour to appreciate it. (Even the Trophies/Achievements are funny, imo).

Also, the game is out of print/delisted digitally because Marvel took back the rights, so get it while you still can. The only other thing is that the one DLC (2 challenge maps) is now delisted but it's not related to any sort of completion/trophies.

 
Just redeemed a bunch of old bundle keys and hit an even 600 games in my library.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you throw standards out the window.  I think I still have a couple dozen more unredeemed keys from recent bundles...I'm on my way to being a non-fake CAG!

I did that for my old Gala bundles back in December. I re-checked my Groupees recently (before they made that change), mostly for added steam keys (either post-buy-bonuses or later additions). I still need to sift though my old Humbles... and decide what game to crown as my 1000th. (I'd like it to be Wasteland 2, but it's not going to release in time for that... and I redeemed my Carmageddon key around 925 on KS-release day.

 
Speaking of unused keys I still have a sizable list of extras.  In the past I have sent out some keys to friends who have games wishlisted and would like to do this again.

Do not be afraid if I PM you a Steam key.  These keys come toxin free.

Do not be afraid to tell me to stop stalking you with Steam keys if you would prefer not to take them.  I won't take it too personally.  I weep silent tears so you will never know how badly you have hurt me.

Do not feel left out if I do not send you any keys.  It just means that we are not Steam friends or you own everything I own and you probably have a bunch of extras in a shoe box too.

This, pretty much. I'm not a pad gamer and I played it on PC with a 360 pad, the controls felt tight and the only real issue I had was the game cheating like a mother...Shaquer in the highest difficulty. I 100%ed it.

Rent the game first, and if you like it, buy it.

I also hate the stupid "Deadpool has two voices in his head" thing but I enjoyed the way it played out in the game. (Considering the story is self-contained in its own little version of the Marvel U, it didn't bother me that much.)

I feel like I should elaborate on the Payday 2 DLC, as I have probably played more of it than most people here.

Official Soundtrack: If you like game soundtracks, this one is pretty sweet and heisty. You can listen here.

Christmas Soundtrack: Pretty funny, but you probably won't listen more than once. Try it here.

Armored Transport: The only real content in any of the DLCs. It adds essentially one new mission in five different places, and a bonus train heist that will sometimes be unlocked in the other heist. If no one in your crew has a saw, be prepared to spend five to ten minutes doing nothing but holding F while cops whittle your health down. And if you get the train heist, be prepared to leave with not much money or spend half an hour lugging bags to the boat.

Weapon Pack 1: The grenades are awful. The guns are just okay.

Weapon Pack 2: The LMGs are not very good at all. The knives are almost identical to regular melee but slower.

 
Has anyone provided Valve with their Social Security Number in order to sell more than 200 things on the market? It seems very low considering they don't report to the IRS unless you have made $20,000. I guess I will craft badges with my cards for the rest of the year.

You can give me the cards and I will sell them for you and keep the money.

Valve is already spying on your internet browsing/porn watching habits, you might as well just complete the information circle and cough your SSN up like the rest of us have and make a few dimes in the process.

I might know someone who provided them with a SSN...... not necessarily their actual SSN. You know, sometimes numbers get accidentally transposed when typing, or you hit a 9 instead of a 6. Like you say, it only matters if you are making over $20k - which there is no chance in hell of that happening.

Payday 2 seemed good on paper and I impulse bought it a while back, but I didn't realize that it was mostly an xp treadmill / rng drop farming game. Still worth a recommendation i suppose if you have friends who want to play it in the same way as you.

The DLC masks are not bad, if you like paying for that kind of thing. I could probably be convinced to run a few heists. My Steam is here.

He probably has a crappy ISP, no need to talk down to him like that. 28 GBs is very substantial for one game and it's probably that big because lazy dev is lazy, like with TitanFall and CoD: Ghosts' size.

I'm getting about 6.4 MB per sec on this download for Payday 2 on the free weekend.

Interesting enough, DL is only 7.9 GB. I wonder if that's compressed or what.

I wonder if install-folder once it's all said and done, will be the 29 GB it was saying it was gonna be when I first selected to download + install it.

We'll see.

That's not too bad. Also, if that is the actual download size, then I take back my earlier comment about the dev being lazy, that's pretty good compression.

Let us know so I can decide whether or not to leave the download on overnight.

Since you're not using Comic Sans, yes it is. It's by the Behemoth (Newgrounds people behind Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers), it was previously Xbox 360 exclusive but it doesn't surprise me they'd make a PC port.

It's called Battleblock Theatre. -> http://store.steampowered.com/app/238460/

I'll let cha know the install-folder's size, once it's done downloading + installing.

Should be done in a around 3-4 minutes.

Router is probably upstairs and the PC is in the basement. I hear wood paneling on walls can dampen wifi signals and cause a serious drop on download speeds.

Switch to a 5Ghz router/receiver setup. I have an Asus N66r (dual band). The 5 gig band is better for penetration of walls/obstacles (combined with it's beam forming tech). The 2.5 gig band is still nothing to count out though, I can pick up literally at the end of my street. I had a NetGear gigbyte router before this that sucked. The new router has 3 external antenna, the Netgear did not.

About to play Diablo III with Motoki....
