I believe Contraptions has that discount because of this, actually. But since Monaco's on there it effectively applies to everyone.

I just got randomly added as someone's friend, they apparently gifted me something in Dota 2 (which I don't have installed), and then they removed me as a friend immediately after I responded with confusion... Is this a regular thing?

Generally people trading online who don't know each other will remove one another from their friend lists after the fact, but this is still odd. What'd he give you? Maybe he just wanted to be rid of it or osmething.

So I went back and played Space Pirates and Zombies and I forgot how much I enjoyed this type of game. Is there anything like it but with even bigger battles?

Is there a space version of Mount & Blade?

SPAZ 2 might be more up your alley then, but who knows when they plan to release that.

At the end of it all, it appears gaming now has its equivalent of a low budget underground gay flick. Neither a workable satire nor an engaging set of gameplay mechanics, My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant’s chief value is its existence. And that’s not an all-consuming condemnation. The title has already demonstrated a surprising potential for fostering a conversation about gay representations in the gaming industry, just by a few press demos and a Greenlight campaign. It’s a noble function to serve, just don’t mistake it for a reason to actually play it at its current price. Once it hits below $7.50, it’s an adventure worthwhile, but mostly because of FlirtBot.

I don't think I could sit through an entire game voiced by someone who manages to say "By who?" in such a way that it makes me angry for the first time ever at the slow death of 'whom'.

That death has happened long ago, my friend. No actual people use "whom" in any context ever unless they are trying to be pedantic. Or quoting Family Guy.

Not yet. I'm hoping to get in though. I'd love to give it a shot. I saw a friend playing the PS4 beta and it looked quite fun. But I only saw about 3 to 5 minutes of play.

I spent a bit of time with it earlier today and liked what I played. It feels a bit similar handling wise to Test Drive Unlimited which is a good thing imo. It also seems to have a proper story with CGI cutscenes and everything, something I was completely unaware of.

Speaking of hot Dynasty Warriors for PC info. Is there any way to get Xbox button prompts in Dynasty Warriors 8? Or PS button prompts or anything? It sucks trying to remember what keyboard commands correspond to the appropriate buttons I need to get on my horse, and start up crazy mousou mode, etc. Dynasty Warriors 8 is fun times, but I wish it had a working Xbox controller config.

One of the screenshots shows the protagonist seemingly waking up from a one night stand, wrapped in a bed sheet, and commenting that the messy room must have meant she had a good time he previous night. Seems like a winner of a game.

How dare they simply reference something and not show it in a cutscene, like a true videogame should.

Janky and sometimes confusing but I got some fun out of it. It's more 'Descent 3 re-imagined as a 1st person ARPG by ravers' than Freelancer though.
