You should buy it just to mess around with Blink.

Final haul:

GotY Dishonored
Transistor
CoD 4 (mainly for prop hunt)
Endless Legend

Probably won't play Endless Legend ever. Still 75% that I'll play occasionally is a pretty decent ratio.

Divinity has some exceptionally fun combat mechanics, as an RPG its pretty generic.

Transistor is great and you should all get it.

I keep hearing that Transistor is good but the trailer makes it look like the most pretentious hipster game of all time.

I'm not sure I understand the criticism. How does the trailer make it look pretentious, without making any pretentious statements? It shows what the game is, it doesn't show what the game is and then say something like "not for Call of Duty fanboys". And I get that it looks pretty artsy, which a lot of people associate with being hipsterish, but how is that a bad thing?

Nothing wrong with hipsters, after all they have the best moustaches.
The pretentious part is annoying.

I must be an idiot because every playthrough of FTL I find that I am always on the run and never have the upper hand on enemy ships.

Telltale Borderlands has a very strong 1st chapter.

Remember Me isn't good.

Invisible Inc is fun but hard as balls. X-COM combat, procedural levels and permadeath. Less forgiving than FTL.

I finally got to the flagship on easy, blew it up twice.... actually saw it blow up... and yet it still was able to jump away even though it was destroyed? Died the third time of taking it on because my ship doesnt magically teleport away to full health after being destroyed. Still want to play it more...

Does anyone have prison architect?

You have to fight it three times. First time I made it there I was barely alive by the third time and died pretty quickly.

I just beat it on easy. Had alot of luck finding laser and beam weapons. Basically fucked him up with shots and shots and took almost 0 hull damage in any of the 3 fights.

Pretty crazy how addicting it is for a game I bought for 3 bucks

Beams are great. I usually go drones + double ion if I can, but I like to have a beam as backup.

What sort of drones did you work with? It seems like a low damage output considering youre turning in beams and missiles for ion. And if they have an anti drone... drone, you're hooped.

Don't have the game, but saw some of it on streams. Apparently 2 burst laser IIs with two ion weapons is the best setup you can have. Burst laser III is overpriced or something.

Always the combat drones. I ion out their important systems early (guns / shields) and the drones make work of the rest. There's some set-up time and it can sometimes be a bit defensive, but once you get everything rolling things go down pretty quickly. If I have a beam in, ion out the shields and beam across their guns.

Sometimes badfo and I break ibb & obb and it's funny, and sometimes we break it and it's terrifying.

The most recent secret level we beat was rewarding like nobody's business.

H1Z1 devs since it was announced "Game is not pay to win."

H1Z1 devs today: You can pay for airdrops that contain weapons, armor etc.

Additionally, there's a battle royale mode you have to buy tickets to play. In that mode there are crates that you have to buy a key to open. These crates contain weapons, armor etc. In a battle royale mode.

I sort of completed the entire Hinterlands in one go. Didn't mind much at the time, but thinking of doing it again is torture.
