New set of games available now. The only ones that really stand out to me are VVVVVV and Monkey Island. L.A. Noire is also a good game, but I'm not sure if it's long enough to warrant the $25.

So my boyfriend bought me CaveStory+ on sale yesterday and it's pretty disappointing how unpolished it is. In the mimiga village alone I spotted several obvious tile errors and I'm fully convinced now that the NICALiS audio guy has no idea what he's doing between the wii release and the poorly mixed new tracks in the steam version. Seriously, go listen to the new grasstown music if you have it. That shit is loud.

I know I can switch the media back to the original but the new graphics and sound is why I bought the new version. I like what NICALiS is trying to do by exposing Cave Story to a wider audience but I've sort of lost faith in them putting out a quality release.

Ok, nerd rant over.

You right, but because mainly as I noticed coders are (I don't know why) manly straight. Or totally loners... It's strange I know in my lifetime a lot of gays/lesbians but never in coders/programmers circle. Strange. But as you say I could be totally wrong. ;)

r/gaming has useful links, info and recommendations about the steam sales (e.g. this).

The most important tip is this though:
DO NOT buy anything that is not on Daily Deal until the last day of the sale because it could show up as a Daily Deal, and you will proceed to kick yourself.
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
