BillyMaysFan59: One thing that may help backlog battles: stop caving in and buying stuff at sales. It would be very hard for sale junkies, but if accomplished, it would keep your backlog at a fixed size. I might try doing that from now on unless we get a May the 4th Star Wars sale. :P
Thinking of trying that after the Summer sale. I've spent more money than I even know, I now have games up to the frigging ceiling, and every sale buries me that much more.

tinyE: Make fun of mentally incompetent people time!

A relative of mine who shall remain nameless drove her dog 500 miles last week to have it examined by a plastic surgeon because the dog has a slight overbite.

Hey tinyE, don't all dogs have overbites?

Yes they do! I now officially have an insane person in my family tree! :P

FearfulSymmetry: At least she's committed to her dog, I suppose. :P
And eventually, she might be committed in general...-laughs-

Soccorro: Oh my god i knew it would be a bad idea to tell my relatives about my training... now they are all lined up on phone to describe their symptoms... *sigh*
Easy solution - They call, you respond with "Well, it sounds terminal. I'm so sorry." No matter what they present to you, just respond with that. They'll get the hint eventually. ;)

Oh dear! ElTerprise unrepentantly continues with the ninja gifting.

He's just gifted me a wonderful game from the weekend promo. So let's smother this german ninja with +1 so that he learns the error of his ways.

I have never ever, even in a drunken haze, considered skulls of the shogun to be remotely interesting.

I like the way you spread despair and suffering. Do you have a moment to hear about the word of Grampa Nurgle?

ElTerprise: But didn't they screw themselves earlier when the game was Windows 8 Store exclusive?
That would be almost retarded, if Micro$oft hadn't offered them a big fat check for that, which I'm pretty sure in their desperation to get anything at all in their store, must have done.

BillyMaysFan59: Not that I was going to buy it, but it's just a curiosity of mine (hey, it happens :P): has anyone here had any experience with the Ouya console? From what I've read about it, it's not all that it was cracked up to be or something.
If you get bored, go on Youtube and look up a person named Supergreatfriend. He's done a series of videos involving Ouya games.
The general feeling watching them is that it's a burning pile of garbage with a controller.

Obviously. But in the end pretty much every Windows 8 exclusive was released for everybody else even Halo Spartan Assault...
But it wasn't the smartest move of the developers in the first place...

CarrionCrow: Another example that's coming to mind - Skulls of the Shogun.
Released on GOG within the last few months, 9 dollars retail, and the developers and/or publishers have already put it on the lowest tier of a Humble Bundle.
They are screwing themselves over so badly. I can't help but think that their sales are absolutely abysmal. If they weren't, why in the world would they be selling their product for 33 cents?

I didn't even know they'd gone that route. Sounds like an absolutely awful idea, and yes, that would definitely constitute some horrible decision making.

Done. =)

I thought it might be interesting, but reading about the interface being a chop job from when it was a mobile game was the first red flag and them putting the game in a bundle already is the last.
The most they'll get out of me at this point is 33 cents.

I think the game was originally released in 2012 on Microsoft devices and then rereleased in 2013 in an expanded version on Steam if i'm not mistaken (the GOG version was the latest on PC then)

Found out what the Ouya was.

It's something that will appeal to hackers. And pretty much induce facepalms in anyone else. By it's very nature it's both lacking and silly.

I had a GP2X back in the day. It made sense then, it doesn't make sense now with the computing power of current smartphones.

Speaking of bundles, I just took a peek at the current Humble Bundle.

He he he... Origin he he he...

ElTerprise: Good evening *hug*.

How is your day and how are you doing?
Day was okay, lots of work. We are currently in the conceptional stage of the new project level - so less code crunching and more thinking, talking, scribbling diagrams on paper... lot of fun. :-)

Origin - It's like anal warts for your computer!

(Totally suing EA if they take that as a slogan...)

:D. Hmm i use it sometimes (playing FIFA in Co-op with a friend) but your description fits ;).
It's a real pity they're using the name of one legendary games developer for their client :(.

Don't worry, EA already has a new slogan:

"EA GAMES. You think you hate us now, wait till you try us!"
