#FakeCAG

Suppose those take 16 months to get good and cheap... June 2016 will be a busy month! ...for card idling.

The only one of those I'd actually #FakeCAG would be Arkham Knight. I'd totally #FakeCAG for a solid RockSteady made Arkham game, but hopefully Nvidia does another video card voucher/coupon again.

B/c that month and Q1 looks so crowded - with some time-sinks of games, too - how much do you wanna guess some of these will delay just to get out of some of these game's way?

My guess - if Dying Light is smart, it'd get the hell out of Witcher 3 + Arkham's way...

I have little doubt at least one or two of those games will be pushed back into March/April. Witcher 3 announced their exact release date ~9 months out, so I assume they'll be good to go. Arkham Knight has already been delayed once. Although so has Dying Light and now Evolve. I'm sensing a growing trend... :whistle2:k

Picked up Secret Ponchos. Have to say I'm impressed. It's top down isometric shooter and requires a 360 controller right now, but its great twitch play. Multi only at the moment, but single player campaign is incoming and devs are REALLY engaged in the game. They want it to be good and are succeeding thus far. I dunno how much I will play it until it gets bigger, but it was a fair price.

What bugs me more is when actual useful ones get downvotes because OMG you didn't thumbs up my favorite game!

Exactly. Kinda like my in depth positive review of Yet Another Zombie Defense. People don't even read it and see that I criticize the game as well, they just see the thumbs up and go "NO THIS GAME SUCKS" and downvote.

Yet my tiny (but apt, I suppose) review of Heileen is the #1 review for the game by a huge margin.

There's also the boob thing.

Speaking of which, you linked to this user's stolen review for Bioshock Infinite awhile back, but if you click through to their profile they have 15 or so other ones, all of which have been taken from various sites. I reported them all for plagiarism a few weeks ago and nothing seems to have happened, but if anyone has some free time and wants to do the same it might help in getting them removed.

All he had to do was cite the original reviewer, and it would've been completely legal.

 
Finished-up Saints Row IV a bit ago.

Had a lot of fun with it + laughed a ton.

SR4 certainly is not SR3 for me - for me, the best one in the series was SR3. Granted, I didn't play SR1 since it wasn't on the PC - but I did play through both SR2+3. And glad I did - as there are a lot of references to those games. This feels like Volition's Love Letter to fans of the series, making references galore to previous games in the series.

While SR4 doesn't feel as fresh as SR3 in the game-world department - since SR4 reuses + remixed SR3's gameworld - SR4 still often takes things to a new level of ridiculousness, comedy, humor, parody, hijinks, jokes, silliness, over-the-top-ness. Oh, and oh yeah - plus, we got superpowers!

Had a blast with it, none-the-less.

For me in high school and currently in college, class is 50% learning and 50% teachers telling you what horrible things they will be happy to do to you if you ever get caught cheating/plagiarizing/stealing/whatever else makes them feel more self-important. Once they introducted the concept of "plagerizing yourself," I knew the academic system had gone past the point of being repairable. So after dealing with that, I have a very high tolerance for people copying other people and a very low tolerance for such self-important people like that. Not that I'm saying I have a problem with comments like you and squirrel and others have made. Just that I hate fanatics that condemn plagerism.

One of those online plagiarism systems caught something that probably isn't exactly what you're talking about, but pulled up my own paper within its database. My plagiarism was as follows:

"Hola,

Mi nombre es Travis. El nombre de mi mejor amigo es Brett."

7 percent of my paper plagiarized, just like that. Don't believe the hype. Circa 2011.

EDIT: On the other side of things, I had a girl copy one of my discussion board posts (on Blackboard, if you're familiar). I didn't tell the teacher, cause the class was bullshit. To my knowledge, the teacher never knew about it, b/c she was terrible. I went to her office often fixing the answers to her tests b/c she be wrong. fucking bitches up, that's what I do.

Sorry to have bothered you with my nonsense above.

Mcdroid release date is August 15th. Was in Debut Bundle of Indie Royale. One of the few I've directly bought from them. Hooray!

http://steamcommunity.com/gid/103582791434753564/announcements/detail/257022597228980326

EDIT: Sifting through Indie Royale keys, so far found 2 games I never redeemed. This key of Satazius may work, think I got in another bundle, not knowing this got Steam keys: 3NXL3-E33DN-IXBWA

Knytt Underground, another maybe: DJDDA-Z2EC4-9PKT5

Thanks, I grabbed this one. I've heard enough good things about this game that I wanted to try it out.

I'll edit my thoughts in here once I decide to stop playing.

EDIT: I played through the first chapter and I'm really not sure if I love or hate it. I do want to play more, though, so I guess there's that. I really do hope I get some additional powers in later chapters that let me go back and explore, because the first chapter is the most open world that I've ever been forced to take one linear path through. In other words, I guess I'd say that the environment is wonderfully designed and the gameplay less so.

I think the division into chapters really hurts this game. I can't help but draw the comparison to the original Metroid, where you're encouraged to follow a certain order through the game, but there's very little stopping you from running off in a different direction and doing your own thing. Here, every time I wanted to go off the rails, the world was designed in a very specific way. The game made it impossible, but also made it feel like I was so close and I just needed more skill. I wouldn't be surprised to find that two or three of the weird things I wanted to do were actually possible, but if it's intentionally done, that's a horribly cruel way to hide secrets.

On the plus side, this game has a very strange sense of humor and I do enjoy the one-sided dialogue. The world feels very alien in a good way, and I can see why some people really love this game. I do need to play it more, just to see if the exploration's going to pan out and make it fun, but I logged about an hour and I still want to play it, which is better than a lot of the "bundle fodder" out there.

Glad one worked. I hate random characters just sitting in cyberspace that aren't reaching their full potential.

Sorry about big size, but it's late at night. And god is big, right? That's what Christians tell me.

I haven't tried it but supposedly there are more waikfu Steam keys to be had if you are willing to jump through a couple of hoops and sign up for an account here:

When I try to make an account there it just says "Sorry, something went wrong."

The world doesn't want me to have this game beta.

EDIT: Chrome doesn't like that site for some reason. Tried it on Firefox and got a key, cool.

Exact opposite for me, got the "Sorry, something went wrong." in Firefox. Worked first try in Chrome.

Yeah... it's the site. Now even on Firefox it's giving me the error on just about every page. Thankfully I got a key before it started fucking up again though, so toodles piece of shit site that looks like it was designed in the late 90s.
