What game are you playing now?

[Dattu]

My friend just gifted me Borderlands. He really needs to stop doing that. I have too many games I need to play as it is.

Edit: He also gifted all the DLC... :/

Mario, what is your steam account name?


Steam just refreshed their daily deals. Portal is $2 for those that missed the free offering. Only 1 day left for their summer deals.

chrury is my account's name. Technically it's my brother's, but we share it.
He is a good brother, because he bought me Flatout 2 after I asked him. :O Downloading now...

[Tempus Vernum]

The remake of Monkey Island 2 is out woot!

[Tempus Vernum]

Also I now have a spare copy of the first remake on steam... does anybody want it?

[Lor]

Also out on 360 apparently, can't wait to get it. Only 800 points i heard, worth it on all accounts. Shame LucasArts don't continue the series along with Grim Fandango. Oh and by continue i don't mean remakes.

Welll, if you don't want it?

[Tempus Vernum]

Welll, if you don't want it?

I do not. I already have it which is why it's a spare copy.

My Steam handle is, surprise surprise, Tempus Vernum

[Tempus Vernum]

It shouldn't be... *checks* ...it says New Zealand on my public profile.

[termite]

Good on you MM, nice to know some Kiwi's are still in New Zealand hey.

Finally got around to finding you

[Ominous Gamer]

Finally got my SC2 beta invite. I'll likely download and install, but I don't expect to play it much at all.

[Tempus Vernum]

I'm gonna pop home during lunch and start downloading Alien Swarm.

For free.

Because it's free.

I remember playing it when it was a UT2k4 mod, it was fun and hard as fuck even with other people playing. Hopefully the source version will be just as fun.

[Ominous Gamer]

Good luck, Steam service for that game is getting slammed.

till then, here is a good list of free games.

[Tempus Vernum]

Yeah I can see that... well I'll give it a go anyway.

[Edit]Seems to be downloading fine. yay.[/Edit]

Not sure if this game has been mentioned: Trine

It's heaps of fun You get to change between three characters and you really need all three to pass the levels since each has their own ability. It might seem a bit dry since it's rather simple but the graphics are cool.

[Dattu]

Alien Swarm. Took a few tries before Steam decided I was worthy enough.

[Ominous Gamer]

Newegg is having a game sale today, with a bunch of games going for $2, and a bunch more under $10 (all free shipping). Since I've finally figured out Guildwars, and know I'm only 3 missions from completing Prophecies, I purchased Eye of the North for $6, NCSoft wants $30 if you buy it in game.

I hope to get to it once I finish nightfall and factions.

[Tempus Vernum]

Well Alien Swarm certainly delights in lulling you into a false sense of security, then suddenly pushing you over a cliff just for the laughs.

Played the first couple of levels with some friends, did well enough that the game suggested upping the difficulty level, then the third level raped us over and over again for the next 30 minutes.

[Elanya Rodillia]

Prince of Persia. The first one.

[Knux897]

I was gonna wait to get this but after this vid holly shit. I need it. Now.

[RandBlade]

Prince of Persia. The first one.

One of the best games ever!

I love the little mouse.

[Dattu]

Forge in Halo 3 was so frustrating to line things up. So glad to see that they fixed this. It's nice when developers listen to the community.

[Elanya Rodillia]

Right now I'm trying to get past level 8, which is the level where the mouse is supposed to help you. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting to that point.

Hang on...

The movie that looks like an Aladdin rip-off is actually based on a video game? Or is the video game based on the Aladdin rip-off?

[Ominous Gamer]

The newest film was inspired by the original series of Prince of Persia video games, those video games being inspired by the Arabian Nights stories. The newest Prince of the Persia is based off the movie, which was inspired by the video games, which were inspired by the stories.

To add more to it, Lego has Prince of Persia lego sets, inspired by the movie, which was inspired by the game, which was inspired by the stories.
Now imagine if Lego made a Price of Persia video game. Game based off a lego series, based off a movie, based off a game, based off a book.

I think I know the solution IIRC ...

Spoiler:

Is that the one with a giant mirror? Jump through the mirror and you'll split into two, yourself and your reflection/shadow which will run away IIRC.

EDIT: Hmmm, no actually the mouse helping you is where you need to reach some sort of strange dead-end where the mouse will then run onto a trigger to open the door which you climb the stairs for the next level. Go back on yourself and go up the stairs. I think.

Funny, not played it in decades but can remember it.

Been forever since I've played that game.

The original game which we're talking about was released about 20 years ago IIRC, about 1990 or so. There was a series of games, then the whole series got a bit of a 'reboot' and all the later games are same name, similar concept but not the same series basically. Movie is based on the games.

[Supermarioman]

Metroid Prime is being annoying again.
It tells me on the map to go to a place, but I can't go to it until I get a suit upgrade that I have to find elsewhere.
Then why tell me to go to the place that I can't get to instead of where the suit is?

Actually, right now my problem is getting the timing right with all the jumping. You have to hit a gate switch, then do a running jump to get to the gate, run through a couple chompers, do another running jump at just the right time so you don't have to barely grab on to the edge, and then immediately do another running jump so you don't fall down a floor. It's coordinating that last jump that it giving me problems.
