Steam mobile beta is now an open beta. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?p=28868916#post28868916

Walk up to them, don't run. And deactivate when you get close. I also crouched, but I don't recall if that part was necessary.

I should limit what games I buy this year and focus on completing old games, hurr durr. Why did I do this then?

Yet we still won't get Investigations 2.

I just started up The Last Remnant. I thought "hmm, this shouldn't take too long, I'll be done with it by the time Amalur launches." Then I checked How Long to Beat. That's a negative, Ghost Rider.

I got accepted into the Steam mobile beta. This also gives me a "gift" of the beta to give out. Anyone really wanting to buy games and chat on Steam friends from their phone?

Is everyone in the Diablo 3 public beta? I was removing my authenticator so I could clean up my phone a little and noticed I had it listed on my account. I guess it's public, but I haven't heard anyone talking about being in it.

Steam for iPhone and Android http://store.steampowered.com/mobile It's operating as Beta right now. You get queued for acceptance when you login with your mobile device.

I'm not sure Morgoth knows the difference between indie and Bejeweled. Of course, he may just be going for controversial.

Wouldn't that put you 25 miles into the ocean? I keed. Partially. Yeah, Gingrich is promising pork in Florida. It's exciting. He shouldn't be trusted on it.

I'll never understand it. I've seen hotels larger than your nation. I just don't see how there's room for dialects.

Posted in wrong thread. Trying out stuff today to see what hits me as worth devoting some time to. First up is Machinarium. The third (that I recall) game from Amanita. Quirky sidescrolling adventure games. Fails to really grab me. The logic is solid, but the pixel hunting is not. And there's nothing else really there. Next up is Gish. It's a sidescrolling platformer game where you play as a blob of tar. He can stick to walls. That's about all he does. So it bored me pretty quickly. No interesting puzzles and way too slow. Shank. Okay, now I'm on a winner. Fun sidescrolling action game. Good combos and they don't overdo the platforming. I'll probably give it some time. Next up is King Arthur: The Role-Playing Wargame. Edit: Got a round of King Arthur in. Really like it. Only strategy game of this type I've played before was Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. I think I liked that a bit better. But it's still good. Maybe I'll give The Last Remnant a shot tomorrow and decide between King Arthur and it as my go to game for the next week.

Ghostcrawler? Ehh. I doubted SWTOR. And however much I feel this idea is baseless, I've been wrong before.

They speculated. Nobody's seriously doing that anymore I should hope. Titan was the codename of Ensemble's Halo MMO when they were working on it. And that's where the connection ends.

That could all belong to his father. "Customer service? Hello, my name is Mr Montgomery, you have suspended my forum and ingame account because of a post my son made on your forums while I was on the toilet." I'm not sure anyone (or at least not many) are arguing that he should be incapable of being unbanned. But their reason for the ban itself was understandable. An argument for appeal strikes me as neither here nor there. Or as I like to say "not even on the board." People should steal that from me. I'd appreciate it.

That could all belong to his father.

I'd think he'd be banned from the game, too. The game has the same restriction as the forum with regards to age.

TRAUMA A 2010 IGF finalist. It's also nearly incomprehensible. It's framed around a young girl, about college age, being in a car accident. And some hidden object / gesture sequences are I guess supposed to represent mental issues dealing with being stuck in a hospital bed after such an event. But it doesn't do much to establish any connection beyond the assumption. The second sequence has you chasing ghosts, only to capture it, and she realizes the only thing stuck is her and the top of a building blasts off like a rocketship. Which maybe is a metaphor for relationships. Or it could be it's her recovering, but there's no evidence of that in the framing sequence as it's just her seeming as depressed about the whole thing as ever. I won't say "it's too deep for me." It's not. It's just abstraction for its own sake. And while that could be indeed represent something about the mental state of those suffering traumatic events, the actual character in the game is just as befuddled about why a crate has a drain on top of it as I am. Which suggests that the car accident victim is perhaps more grounded in reality than the game's own designer. That's not to say abstract or incomprehensible can't be enjoyable. Salvador Dali's paintings were pretty, but if you tell me the melty watches are anything more than merely beautiful to look at, I will kick you in the face. This game does present a handful of what would be pretty photos, with lots of hunting for obscure ways to reach locations and learning gestures just to free teddy bears from under boulders. It struck me as a woefully lacking in payoff.

I thought Brotherhood was at least as tight as AC 2. Revelations on the other hand just felt like an excuse for the yearly installment.

I need to make a resolution. Only buy 1 game for every 2 I complete this year.

I'll never understand how you're so good at this game. I may just be that terrible. I couldn't get through half the stuff you're doing without having to savescum.

It's meant to be Supernatural, the TV show. Which I presume is on the CW network in the land of stars and stripes. 'The CW Television Network'... can't say I've ever heard about them Did you ever hear about UPN (Paramount's channel) and the WB (Warner Bros. channel)? They merged.

The GOG version? What's the problem? This would be the problem. Goes to fullscreen for a few seconds, a few white flickers, then this with the mouse cursor visible in center. Double checked, it works now. I know what I'm playing later.

realMyst I decided I needed to finish one of the games I got from GOG other than Witcher 2. And I have finally accomplished that. Edit: Attempting to run Shogo. Can't get it to.
