Goat Simulator

I was looking through the Humble Store and saw this:

Whut?

So I looked further into it and was not disappointed. The trailer is just so hilariously WTF.

Not Another Steam Sale!

The hoarder in me gets both excited and worried when it comes to Steam sales. I love getting games at a good price and when they're really good games at less than $10.00 I'm usually more than 50% convinced.

The Stellaire Steam Giveaway

What is a gamer?

Historically, the term "gamer" usually referred to someone who played role-playing games and wargames. Since video games became popular, the term has changed to include players of video games. While the term nominally includes those who do not necessarily consider themselves to be gamers (i.e., casual gamers), it is commonly used to identify those who spend at least some of their leisure time playing or learning about games.

According to the article on Wikipedia about gamers I think I am a mid-core gamer while Jex is definitely a hardcore gamer. I've always enjoyed playing video games since I was a kid and my interest in games expanded a bit more when I met Jex.

Contemplating A Giveaway

I know I post about food most of the time, so here is a post that is not about food but about another one of my interests -- gaming!

Steam is a digital distribution platform used for games and other related media. I created a Steam account a little under 2 years ago for some reason that I can't remember. My account has mostly been dormant since I created it until the middle of last year. It was the first time I participated in the annual money-spending ritual that is called the Steam Summer Sale. According to my transaction history the first games I ever purchased was a packaged set of The Witcher: Enhanced Edition and The Witcher 2. I have so many games, which I don't play a lot, but I am happy about having them. They don't expire and they'll wait for me until I have time to spare, haha.

This year's Steam Summer Sale is about to end in a few days and so far I've enjoyed playing my recent purchases. Since the sale started I've been thinking of doing a small giveaway with a few Steam-bought games but I'm not sure if there will be any interest from any of my readers (if you're out there).

So here it is: if there are any of you guys out there who are interested in participating in a small Steam giveaway here, please leave a comment. And while you're at it, tell me if you have any specific game that you wish I'd give away, and I'll see what I can do about it!

Thank you!

Movie Marathon Thursday

Yay for holidays! Jex and I watched two movies yesterday. I wanted to watch both of them with him before he flies off to Perth again.

Anticipating

I have never finished Torchlight. Yes, I'm lame. I've spent hours and hours playing the game and I haven't finished it. But it is an awesome game.

In 9 hours Torchlight 2 unlocks on Steam. New character classes and multiplayer! I AM SO EXCITED. I'll probably make my first character an Outlander. I just love 'em pistols and daggers, plus magic!

9 hours from now, though, it will be around 2 a.m. in Manila, so I probably won't be able to play just yet. Hopefully the weekend will allow me to, at least, open it up and create a character.

Spotted: Hypnochili

Spotted at Chili's, Power Plant -- the giant hypnochili! (Google: "hypnochili swords and soldiers")
