AgentBirdnest: I am scared to death of driving. Every time I tried to learn, I would just have a panic attack. [snip] It is too stressful for me.
I definitely understand and appreciate your opinion. I, myself, didn't get my driver's license until I was 21 ("normal" driving age for my state was 16). It can be a very nerve-racking experience.

However, have you thought about potentially using a driving school? If money is an issue, this may not be a perfect solution, but most auto insurance companies will offer discounts to customers who learned to drive professionally, so that helps to offset the cost in the long term. I once had a job working in the office at a driving school, and they were able to help many people get their license; including a man with autism. Again, something like this might not be affordable (or, potentially, even available by where you say you live), but it is something to consider.

Just be sure that the school you are using is certified by the state before using them. Many will claim to be, but actually aren't. You should be able to get a list from your state's driver services/motor vehicle department website.
Sallutations people, I've been kind of away.

Unless my sources are mistaken, the competition's sale starts in 5 minutes.

I will just take a look.

EDIT: They weren't.

Aaaand, here, we, go!

Klumpen0815: Two additional jam sessions this week and a chance to introduce my new (quite loud) autoharp. :)
avatar
superstande: Sorry for being ignorant but what's an autoharp? An electric blues harp ? :p
It's a special kind of zither built for loud chords.
So after backtracking a bit, we've had a badass looking Santa spreading festive cheer, a mini-gamer's anniversary, congratulations by the way. And Agent's medical woes. On that, I really have nothing to say. My only migraines have been of the alcohol induced variety and I don't even like thinking about them. All I can do is hope for you to feel better, specially during the holidays.

I also wanted to say something about DLC Quest; yes it is a joke game, and as such it's only really fun where the joke is concerned. But it is a surprisingly well thought out and executed joke. I first found it on xbox live and really enjoyed the 10 minutes it will let you play an indie game before it shuts you out, and it felt like a surprisingly smooth retro-style platformer. I bought it mostly because it was being sold at an outrageously low price, that limited offer I managed to snatch it at is gone now. But it's still on sale at a very cheap price.

So if you think a few laughs are worth a single buck. Then give it a try.

Oh, and the competition's sale begins with a disappointing start.

First recommendation for you already - Euro Truck Simulator 2, the long-awaited sequel in the world-famous, multi-award winning Euro Truck Simulator series, can now be rented for only $3.74! ;)

Or if that's just too fast-paced for you, you can instead get Shannon Tweed's Attack of the Groupies for only 49 cents! That would still qualify as dignity assassination at twice the price! -laughs- (And coming from someone willing to buy a game about pigeon fucking, you KNOW that is one hell of a damning recommendation....)

I wasn't really interested in the steam sale to begin with, and the start of the sale hasn't done anything to pique my interest.
Now laughing my ass off....
The Planet Stronghold soundtrack is on sale. How high does a person have to be to say to themselves, "I've been waiting all year, but the day has finally arrived. I can now get the Planet Stronghold soundtrack for only 49 cents! My year is complete!"
I played Planet Stronghold. It sucks. Real bad. Why in the 13 holy hells would ANYONE pay ANYTHING for the soundtrack? Paid less than a dollar for the godsdamned game and still feel stupid about that one and besides, no one can remember what the soundtrack was anyway since it was drowned out by them saying, "Dear gods make it stop, this sucks, I don't want to play this anymore".

Found a hack and slasher for you - Zeno Clash. On sale for a dollar right now.

Words... just... fail me.

I'd pay for the playboy magazines she was in though.

About this much.

It achieves beauty in its sheer horror. It's like a Lovecraft story where a person is revolted and yet still compelled by some entity from beyond the stars....

Also, two things -

1. There are frigging PAGES of nothing but Crusader Kings 2 DLC. Dear gods.
2. Anyone, and I absofuckinglutely mean ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, who spends a dollar on fake holiday paint jobs for their Euro Truck Simulator 2 truck needs to be sterilized, forcibly if need be. Not even kidding. There are some lines no sane person will cross.
Again, I bought a game about PIGEON FUCKING and I'd still feel better about that 3 dollar indictment of my every self-destructive, masochistic personality flaw than I would if I spent a dollar on that DLC.

This is like going down the rabbit hole, only the rabbit hole is full of wretched abominations, shameless whores and a thick layer of what I can only call soul vomit coating every single surface.

Fully, fully agree. I own ETS2. I have, on occasion, enjoyed playing ETS2. I have never given a flying fuck what my truck looked like in ETS2. Green paint, blue paint, orange paint - don't matter, it all scrapes off just the same when I cut that corner too tight.

I'm looking at it, and it look really terrible. Looks like a 16 bit era RPG, but completely soul-less.

Have I mentioned how much I hate first person perspective combat?

Seriously I hate it with an intensity that only Darkseid can understand.

Oh yeah, it's bad. Watched a Let's Play where the person did absolutely nothing but mindlessly click, fully unaware of every laughable "mechanic", and they still beat it.

Will keep that in mind for any further suggestions. -laughs-

Also, the next way to get Dark Souls 2 will be if you have a PS4 or X-Box 1. They're remastering it, slapping all the DLC for it together in one shot and calling it Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.
I do, however, have two planned purch... excuse me; rentals during the sale. I will wait to see if they come up as dailies though.

One is the Dawn of War II package. The other is Brothers. One out of sheer fanboyism and loyalty to THE EMPRAH. The other because it's been lauded as the second coming.

Yeah, I saw a Let's Play of that too. (Yes, I know, lots and lots and LOTS of time on my hands. Keenly, painfully aware of that fact.) And from what I saw, you hardly ever see the exterior of the frigging truck! So what's the point!?!?!

Also, seriously hoping that GOG has more classics lined up for the near future. The competition is trying to eat their lunch really, really badly. Wouldn't be bad if I didn't know that I'd be paying for RENTALS, rather than PURCHASES.
(Also, already have everything I've seen that I want through GOG....-laughs-)

Dark Souls 2 is down to 20 bucks on xbox live. I'm going to buy it there during the holidays. But just like steam, I will wait to see if they do any sales there as well. Last year they did. Got The Walking Dead at one buck per chapter.

Yes I won't get the DLC, and frankly I don't care.

Well a little, but not enough to pay 25 extra bucks for a bloody season pass.
