Haven't visited in a couple of weeks and Bam! hit with an amazingly awesome splash screen :tup:

holy crap I haven't checked the thread in a day and my last response is already a couple of pages buried Anyways, Erkki, if you wouldn't mind trading coal for coal(to get the extra coal) I'll do it. I've added you as I didn't already have you on steam so when you accept we should be able to go ahead and trade

Merry Christmas my fellow thumbs. If anyone is interested in trading coal for, well coal to get the steam achievement let me know and we can give it a whirl . Also, if you haven't already bought the Humble indie bundle 4, you should. I just bought it this morning and now have 12 games, all for about $5.50 pretty chuffed

This is one of the games I've asked my family to get me this Christmas. Hopefully they bought it for me

I just thought about asking this thanks for info

Well that's definitely good to know I've just realised what you meant about the summon signs and actually attempted to take on the with Solaire and another person and it was pretty sweet although I did die but hey that's part of the experience

Yup, did it all on my own whilst hollowed . I actually attempted what you suggested. Turned into human form at bonfire by the blacksmith after 10 or so tries, headed into the church, took out all enemies on the first floor, proceeded to get invaded by a thief with lightning daggers who tore me a new one and never got the chance to place the summon stone where I wanted. That experience actually made me nervous to ever go into human form again as i lost my humanity and 4k of souls. I've now been in human form since going to the new area though and have been invaded once (not by the same guy thankfully ), whom I successfully dispatched I think that was down to me having upgraded my longsword to be magic longsword +1

So I've been playing this for about 2 weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. I started with a knight because of the high starting armour and stats and I think it really helped me get to grips with the mechanics in the game (I never played Demon Souls). I managed to ring the first bell, that boss fight probably took me about 20 attempts and hearing other players ringing that bell whilst I was trying to do it myself just made me want to succeed even more. Was the greatest feeling of accomplishment I think I've had in any other game in recent times. Also I've spent just under 20 hours in the game already and I've just entered . I think I'm probably way behind for the amount of hours I've played :S but I don't mind, I'm enjoying every moment of it

So I've spent near enough the past month trying to finish off some games and have actually been quite successful First up was Bioshock 1. It was quite good although I could feel it's age (if that makes sense to anyone lol), it's one of those games where I get motion sickness with :/ and it only tends to happen with older games. The story was really good and I really enjoyed the plasmids and the latter half of the game, although I found the end boss relatively easy. Next up was Donkey Kong Country Returns. Played the entire game in coop with my wife. It was extremely frustrating at times and I found the last world fairly unbalanced. We struggled incredibly to get past the first level but then breezed through the next 3 or 4 lol. Overall it was really enjoyable, even though my wife struggled at times but thankfully I could just get Diddy on Donkey's back and play through the harder parts myself. I also finished off World of Goo on the Wii. I've had it since it released a couple of years back but never got round to finishing it off. I was quite surprised that the game kept coming up with new goo ball types and other stuff, all the way till the end of the game really enjoyed it. Finally I bought and finished W40K Space Marine on PS3. The story was fairly average and the single player campaign got repetitive near the end but the online is by far the shining point of this game! The customization, classes, weapons and perks work really well and give you that carrot on a stick to keep playing and trying to use all of the weapons regularly for the Weapon and Armour Challenges. I'm still playing this one online now as it's really fun, also Relic are releasing the coop "Horde" mode at the end of the month, so more good times Next in cooker I've got Metro 2033 which I'm really enjoying so far, and Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising. I've managed to plow through quite a few games this past month, but I've made it worse overall because on top of the games I already had waiting to be played, I've just got all them games from the humble bundle

Magicka is 75% off today on steam (it's under 7 Euros), people should definitely pick this game up if they haven't already done so! it brings all the content apart from the new content released today (3 new costumes*) *One of the costumes is a purple Tentacle

I feel I should add to what miffy has said and say that now would be a great time to pick up Magicka if you haven't already done so as it is 75% reduced!

I'm definitely buying it, but seeing as I've just come back from a holiday and have just paid flights for next year's holiday, I'm going to have to wait until the end of the month most likely. I really enjoyed the demo, it pretty much gave that sense of being a totally bad ass space marine captain, just like in the table top games where the captain could just wade into a hoard of orcs and take down a good chunk of their squad before they'd start dealing out their damage Also I'm totally biased towards 40K stuff in general and getting the chance to play as a single marine in an action game is just freaking awesome It will probably end up being a shallow action filled romp through the 40K universe, but I'll enjoy it all the same.

I would love for them to announce a new DQ for the 3DS. Also Rodi, I suppose you're right in that the games weren't technically "Free", however I was willing to pay that price for the 3DS, yes it really sucked they lowered the price a few weeks after I got mine, but at least they were nice enough to give us some games for having bought the device early. The GBA list seems pretty sweet though

I was actually pleasantly surprised by Wrecking Crew, had no idea what I had to do at the beginning but it became fun once I figured it out. DK Jr is ok as well, Ice climbers is still as meh as I remember it when I was younger. I still haven't tried out the NES Golf or Zelda 2 but I can't complain overall seeing as they're free

they're up now for Europe!

That's pretty much made my day lol

So I seem to clearly suck at searching through the boards and I just happened to see this thread from awhile back. here's my code: 1289-8325-5420 I'll add you all and hopefully at some point there'll be some nice multi-player games we can all play.

This weekend's no good for me unfortunately will be available this week though, I'll keep an eye out for the Thumbs events on steam if they're being used.

I've already got ya added mate(my Steam avatar is the cookie monster which I think I'll actually make my forum avatar) This weekend's no good for me though but I'd defo be up for it next week

I'd defo be up for some multiplayer with fellow thumbs. I've got Magicka, L4D 1 or 2, TF2 and DoW II (got all 3 campaigns now). I'm pretty much set for gaming Let me know when and I'll try to make arrangements to be available on given days.

Coolios. I vaguely remember Grim Fandango, wasn't really into PC gaming much when it came out and remember playing through the first 10 or so minutes of it when I was 15ish... Being from the Mediterranean we tend to put salt and lemon on many of our foods as well

I guess I was lucky to get paired up to someone who was both patient and found the friendly fire deaths funny because I kept doing that to him near the end of our session I'd definitely be up for some multiplayer if any other thumbs are up for it. Today might be difficult as it's my nephew's birthday but I'd be up for it any other time

So I got this game gifted to me by a friend for my Birthday and all I have to say is that this is fucking awesome!! I've played it for about 3 hours straight and got to the 8th Chapter. God I love this game, the humour is really good and the only reason that I stopped was because my hands were getting tired and I was just casting the wrong spells over and over and I kept killing this other guy I was playing with... let's just say he wasn't very amused after killing him about 15 times within a 10 minute time frame. Anyways, awesome game. Also Vlad is awesome, especially how he constantly reassures you that he isn't a vampire

Welcome Sal Limones, do happen to like tequila?? Ahem... Seriously though, welcome!

awwww... and here I was getting excited. Well it's kind of like a side step from the Wii then, you can now see who's online but can't message them but is it 1 friend code for the entire thing? because that was the worst thing about the Wii and DS in general.
