Wadjet Eye is giving away Blackwell Deception for free on their site right now.
Details here: http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/comments/1planx/wadjeteyegames_the_blackwell_deception_free/
What was kinda freaky about it, was the codes Dave got from Steam, gave someone Wadjet's entire catalog of games. That's fixed now though. I wonder if that included Emerald City Confidential? I played a bit of it at a friends house a few years back.

For those that are interested, Ubisoft is having a Halloween sale right now, and in Canada anyways; Far Cry 3 is $18 CAD.
http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_CA/pd/ThemeID.8605600/productID.250899600/Far-Cry-3.html
I'm assuming that will take you to your country's store. You'll need a Uplay account anyways if you buy it from Steam. Also, Uplay's offline mode actually works, and doesn't kick you out after 14 days.

Although not technically on Kickstarter, Level Up Labs is doing a similar thing for pre-orders for Defenders Quest 2.
http://www.defendersquest.com/2/?page=preorder
Defenders Quest 1 is my favorite tower defense game, so when I pre-order it probably next week I might have an extra DQ1 key for it, assuming Humble gives me another one if someone wants it.
I say assuming Humble gives me another one, because it said "Redeemed" next to my GOG key, even though I hadn't used it, but had already bought it there before. If someone wants the game now on GOG, let me know and I'll give you that key, assuming it hasn't expired.
(Yes, I bought it again. Bought it originally on a sale, loved it so much that I bought it again off their site when it was on sale again to give them more money, and get access to the mods on the Steam workshop to put on my DRM-free copy at home.)

I hate it when people edit out their mad rants, feels like stumbling on a funny movie when it's end credits are already rolling down.
At least you are left the title of the movie
Sometimes all you truly really want are the things you can not have.
What would have been truly genius is if the the three posts had originally just said "redacted".

A bright side might be if he starts drafting the fastest person left when it's his turn. Although the Raiders haven't really turned it around yet since Al died.
I guess a side-effect of being a Blackhawks fan is I now think that a franchise can turn things around shortly after their crappy old owner dies.

Jerry can't hold on to a half-decent coach, because he knows best.
EDIT: This was from Lee on Deadspin's Why your team sucks last year:
If I started typing now and typed until my fingers bled, until I cramped up from carpal tunnel, until I went blind from staring at my computer screen, until I dropped 150 pounds from lack of nourishment, until my skin dried up and turned to dust from dehydration and ultimately until I simply keeled over and died (and this would all take quite a while because I'm not small), I wouldn't even be able to scratch the surface covering the surface of how much I hate Jerry Jones.
He has destroyed the Dallas Cowboys. Destroyed them. He has done NOTHING to contribute to the success of the franchise. NOTHING. His teams won three Super Bowls only because he happened to be a roommate at Arkansas of Jimmy Johnson, who never especially liked him. Jimmy won those Super Bowls, all three of them, even the one he didn't coach. And what did Jerry do after Jimmy won two straight championships and looked poised to win four or five in a row? FIRED HIM. Fired him! Barry Switzer's second team had enough runoff talent from Jimmy's squads to win one more Super Bowl, and then that was it. Jerry was on the path to destruction.
The Dallas Cowboys have existed since 1960. They played in their first Super Bowl in the 1970 season and won the Super Bowl for the first time in 1971. Even with the down years of the ‘80s (and there were really only a few…), Dallas has never gone as long without playing in or winning a Super Bowl as it has in the current championship drought. The former record for futility was 1977-1992 (1978 if you're counting Super Bowl appearances and not just wins). Now, though, the Cowboys have failed to play in a Super Bowl since 1995. We're going on 17 years here, and they're no closer to winning one than they were when Dave Campo was coach. They have a huge, obnoxious, outrageously expensive stadium and an owner (and general manager! WTF?) with a nearly incomprehensible ego. They have a puppet coach and a bunch of scrubs on defense. They're an empty vessel, all hat and no cattle.
Oh, I know. Browns fans and Lions fans don't want to hear it. Fair enough. But most people don't realize what the Cowboys meant to those of us who grew up in Dallas in the ‘70s and ‘80s. They were ALL WE HAD. The Rangers perennially sucked. The Mavericks were a flash in the pan for a season or two in the late ‘80s. The Stars were in Minnesota, where they belonged. The SWC imploded. The Cowboys were the pride of Dallas, an elite franchise with only a minor cocaine problem (and, at least, with a coach who genuinely had character). NOTHING mattered more than Cowboys football.
Jerry has taken all of that away. He has destroyed the dignity of the franchise, along with destroying the competitiveness of the franchise. (Seriously, Quincy Carter. Really. They're still trying to recover from that pick.) The Cowboys are a brand now, not a football team. Rex's fat brother has created a defense about as impenetrable as a sidewalk drain. Yet he still brags about it. It's easy to see why Rex is a head coach and Rob is a DC. Rob is a pretty good description of what the man does to the Cowboys when he collects a paycheck.
The worst part, though, is that Cowboy "fans," the worst in the NFL, still lap this [sheet] up. They manage to live on the success of nearly two decades ago, even though a lot of them don't remember it. They're incredibly obnoxious with nothing to back it up. And the worst part is that they seem to be perennially happy. "Hey, look at our stadium! Whoo, our uniforms look awesome! Remember Emmitt Smith?" Hey, Cowboy fans, YOUR TEAM [fudge]ING BLOWS. Quit with the living in the past, with the worshiping the star, with treating Jerry as if he's anything but Satan incarnate hell bent on wrecking what was once the best thing North Texas had going for it. Seriously, SHUT THE [fudge] UP. You look like a bunch of redneck a**holes, which, of course, you are. You and Jerry deserve each other.
And Brad
If you are a fan of the Cowboys who was born in the 80's this pretty much sums up the coaching situation and general relationship with the team. Your Mother (Jerry Jones) and Father (Jimmy Johnson) faked love for a few years together and everything was glorious for you as a child. Your Dad was smart, had a good job, great hair, and always gave you the most kick ass birthday and Christmas gifts (great draft picks, Super Bowl rings). This was life, it was the picket fence, the puppy, the whole nine yards! Your life was a ****ing postcard. All the other kids were jealous of you.
Mom smiled on the outside, but secretly bitched to her friends about being underappreciated and was constantly a giant controlling **** to your Dad. Eventually, your Dad got tired of your Mom's constant ****ery and decided to go through the REAL Big D. They smiled, tried to break the news softly to you, Dad said he'd pick you up on the weekends and you guys would play catch. Two weeks later, he met a Cuban woman and moved to Miami to never be heard from again.
Mom told you everything would be fine. You guys got to keep the house and Dad's convertible (the team he built) and things weren't that bad the first couple of years. Mom met a new guy, Barry. Barry seemed cool, he showed you his college championship ring, let you see his gun before he packed it up for business trips, and Mom let Barry take you joy riding in Dad's old convertible. You really didn't miss Dad that much for the first couple of years. Then Barry took a lot of pain killers one night and crashed Dad's convertible into a telephone pole at 120 mph.
Mom dumped Barry's no-good ass and **** bounced around from loser to loser for a few years. You guys fell on financial hard times (Salary Capped) because your Mother burned through any money left from your Dad like an NBA lottery pick and you started to have to buy cereal with no box (Eddie George), eat beenie weenies for supper (Vinny Testaverde), and kids made fun of you at school for wearing fake misspelled JORDEN shoes (This pretty much sums up any roster Jerry assembled from 1999 to 2004.) Life was ****. You sometimes wished you'd never had things so great with your Dad, it was just a cruel reminder of how great some people (Pat's Fans) lives are. Mom made your life so miserable you wished Jerry Sandusky would adopt you.
Then Mom hooked up with grumpy old War Vet named Bill. Bill was somehow able to get your Mother to get her **** together. He got you moved out of the ghetto and into a semi-new apartment that at least had a pool. Bill could be a raging Viagra-fueled ****, but at least he was making things better. Unfortunately, he watched Tony Romo stumble**** the Cowboys out of their best shot to win a Super Bowl in a decade, and had a coronary and died. She tried to see if another senior citizen named Wade was worth a shag. He was a nice guy but he turned out to be a huge **** and let your Mom walk all over him and eventually she lost interest.
Now Mom is blowing a red headed douche who used to work for your Dad as a Temp, and is a constant reminder of how awesome life was at one time, and how it will never be the same again. Basically, your Mom (Jerry Jones) is a huge ****.

Anybody want Angelica Weaver: Catch Me When You Can?
It's in the new Indie Royale bundle right now, and I've already got it. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't give a review of it.

As far as I'm concerned, police should have to write up a full report every time they use a taser, like they would if they used a gun. It should only be used in similar circumstances when it doesn't put the officers life in danger using it over the gun (i.e. bringing it to a knife fight. The lightest scenario for using it should be if someone has clearly taking something they shouldn't have, is acting VERY violent and the nightstick would be almost useless.) Too many police have abused it IMO. This was a minor accident. A 2 or 3 on a scale of 10, and the police elevated it to a 9.

I've started four games of New Vegas in a month, all of which bar the current one ended in and around Vegas. Just now, for the first time since the game's launch, I spoke to Caesar. I know there's an incredible amount of content in the game I've never seen, but I'm not sure I have the determination to go that route. At any rate, I can put off any thinking for now, about to tackle the DLC for the first time ever (again, after owning it for quite a long time). Going with Honest Hearts when I fire the game up tomorrow, at a few levels shy of 20 - unless someone thinks I should do them in a different order?
I admit some temptation to play XCOM due to all the recent chatter - and I really do intend to play vanilla XCOM once more before getting into the expansion - but I really should stick with one thing for now.
I realized not too long ago that I've never actually completed Boone's quest line. (Nothing annoyed me more in Fallout 3 than the Talon's constantly coming after me with no way of stopping them - even if you wiped them all out [the one group of three that Tenpenny/Burke sends is different. That one makes sense,] so I would play that game neutral to avoid that annoyance.)
I corrected that a couple of days ago. One Legion assassin that ran away scared managed to kill Fitz and Lupe from the Grub n' Gulp before I got to him. At least there's a way to make them go away. Hopefully if Bethesda continues with this crap in FO4, they'll have a way to make them go away forever too.
-
FO4 protagonist will be an android escaped from MIT (the Institute) and there will be two factions, one pro-android and one pro-Institute.
World map will include entire SE part of Massachusetts + DLC set in Cape Cod similar to Point Lookout.
That is exactly what I'm expecting from them. Just making it Fallout: Blade Runner seems incredibly lazy to me, but apparently since a bunch of the Looking Glass people went over to Bethesda years back, stuff like lore has apparently taken a back seat (see vocal pre-Morrowind fan.)
I'm hoping they surprise me in a good way.
-
Misunderestimated.
Yes spell checker, I know that's not a real word.

The Stanley Parable. And it is amazing.
Reminded me a lot of Save the Date and felt it was an interesting examination of games as a medium and some of the challenges and perspectives that come with it.
It seems great.
Too bad it's only on Steam.

I am Chekov! (70%)
Brash, rash and hasty, but everyone loves you.Followed by Will Riker & Worf (60%)
Perhaps if there was a question about Marcus, Worf would have placed higher.

I don't think it would make a lot of sense making another game with that extremely buggy old Gamebryo engine, when they've already made Skyrim with the Creation Engine. That to me wouldn't make sense on Bethesda's behalf, because it to me would seem like Sierra releasing a game with the SCI1 engine, then having someone make an official game with the SCI0 engine. It just looks bad. Plus, a lot of people will probably have converted over to the PS4/XBone at that point. Who knows how it would or could run on those things.
Although Obsidian have shown they can make a great game in an insanely short period of time with Gamebryo, and perhaps could get it out the door before Fallout 4 comes out, quality will suffer for it. Even then, if they could duplicate that magic, at this point the release date would be very close to FO4's. Maybe even after because we don't know how far along they are with FO4.
As much as I want more Fallout, at this point I'll just keep cracking open New Vegas (I'm still finding stuff I've never done before in it), or the other ones to get my fix. I may as well wait for quality, then get something that's really buggy and gets a lot of content cut just to get it out with a reasonable amount of time before FO4 comes out.
And then I hope Bethesda has Obsidian make at least 2 Fallouts for the upcoming console generation and more down the road (and give a reasonable amount of time for QA.)

Have you tried some of the larger sized mods out there?
Fallout Project Brazil for New Vegas is huge.
Of course, that's only good if you have the PC version, and Steam doesn't hate your guts because you don't have internet at home.

I started playing Assassin's Creed 3, and I know you're supposed to hate it, but.. I've only played it for a couple of hours and so far I'm having a blast. It feels less pretentious than the other Assassin's Creeds (ILLUMINATI.. TEMPLARS.. IN YOUR FACE!) and the missions I've been given so far have been fun. It also runs extremely well on my system and the controls feels more streamlined now (only 23 buttons to keep track of instead of 56 thousand).
Oh, and it's absolutely beautiful to look at too. I like.
Edit: Uhm.. I absolutely not failed to put this in the right thread. It is the other 190 replies that are wrong!
My problem with it was that I was screaming (well my voice was slightly raised a few points from normal anyways) at the screen about how stupid the AI was.
-
You have taste sir.
Thanks for the kind words
(just added Ultima Underworld 1 & 2
)I had the hankering to play those ones a bit back. I was surprised when I found out that I didn't have the second one. I thought I bought the Underworld 1/2 CD around the same time as when I bought the Ultima collection.

The Cole's have made me completely paranoid about cats in their games. I wonder what would happen if you try to pet that cat.

Why am I a Bills fan again?
Geography?
Masochism?
Probably the latter. That would explain many of the other teams I cheer for.
At least the Blackhawks are winning again.

I have mixed feelings about this, so I'm undecided whether to support. I enjoy the Sci-Fi genre in general and CRPG, but I'm not sure whether I'd enjoy this particular mix as a JRPG-like game.Anyway, they posted this in an update:
It was brought to our attention in the comments that the playable cast could use more non-human characters and we couldn't agree more. Therefore sometime after the kickstarter has concluded, we'll present a few different possibilities for a new non-human playable character and give all of our backers the chance to vote on which one they like the best. The character with the most votes will be added to the game as a fully playable character in your party!I love Star Ocean, and Zeboyd Games, so this one was a no-brainer for me.

If we kept Leinart, we might have won that game. Instead, our backup to our rookie QB, is an undrafted rookie QB whose career college record was 4-22.
