Surely the reason those two games haven't been claimed is because everyone who has seen his post already has them. It's the only reasonable explanation.

What? I already have them!

Well, I don't have STALKER, how good is it? I mean, really. I don't want to ask for a gift I won't use.

It's yours when I get back from this appointment. You will play and enjoy it.

And that's all of them gone to good homes.

It's very good, but slow and atmospheric. If you like deep, tense, scrappy survival scenarios, it will appeal. If you prefer "fun every 5 minutes!" game design, it'll leave you cold.

I bought STALKER: Call of Pripyat when I saw it on sale in a Big Lots. Decided that was a sign I should finally play it. I've not made it very far in, just to the southern part of the map and... I'm having a hard time playing it since suddenly the amount of monsters I run into walking around went from a few to one every three minutes. Heck I step out side the rusty ship and there are dead bodies in every direction.

So yeah, STALKER is kinda good.

Also need to update my list, I bought Skyrim: Hearthfire on the last day of the sale on a whim.

So yeah, my ISP (which happens to be the Greek phone company...) just sorta broke the network for the last 2.5 weeks. I finally get reconnected today, and waiting in my inbox from the awesome Eleima is just what I have been itching to try, FTL!

And I didn't even have to res the thread to say thanks.

Thanks!

The best part about corpses is that they don't put up a fight when you grab their junk.

Spoiler:

Sick.

Thanks much, Bonus_Eruptus for RF: Armageddon. I'll make sure to tear down as many buildings as I can.

Thank you Bonus Eruptus for STALKER. I look forward to scrounging in the shadows of Chernobyl!

You should check out the STALKER complete Mod.

What the hell I don't even what the f*ck now??

I hate the word "lover" when talking about your significant other... hate it so hard.

I prefer loveless relationships, myself. More ennui that way.

Assuming it reaches novelty-sale-price-level, I would like to nominate Bientôt l'été as the Summer Sale 2013 Sparkle Ponies Surprise Gift (tm) title.

Just read the About the Game text for some quality facepalm action. As one reviewer put it, "Finally, a video game as artistic and hard to understand as French films." The discussions page, as always, provides for the obligatory Statler-and-Waldorf commentary.

Fixed.

[insert well-deserved slow clap]

My wife wanted to name our second son Onan. I very quickly shot that down.

Did you know there's a company out there called Cummins Onan? ... just saying.

Don't interrupt him, he was saying something.

I nominate this game. Click Me!

I don't think that's... pony enough.

Alright fine. Sexual intercourse partner it is.

That's exactly what pops into my head any time anybody uses the term. Just in my head, they become Will Ferrell for a second.

Lovahhhhh... ew.

Maybe he used too many monkeys?

I vote for Cthulhu Saves the World or Breath of Death for the next gift round. 8-bit awesomeness! Or, in the similar vein Dead Pixels.

But those are good games people would want to own/play. That is antithetical to the Sparkle Ponies gifting movement.

I've already put Jill down for a copy of Bientôt l'été during the summer sale. You're welcome in advance!

Good point, in that case I nominate Dinner Date instead. You play the subconscious of Julian while he has a date that stands him up for 25 minutes.
