Dammit jim! I'm just a star fleet gamer, not some doctor who can keep throwing money at Kickstarters! HA! I was wondering how long it was going to take for someone to make that reference with my name.

For any of you that are Start Trek fans. This is maybe something you should look into. It's not terribly pricy and they're pretty close to hitting their base goal. Besides, wouldn't you like to say you had a hand in helping preserve the legacy of Spock?

I think we could have the best of both worlds. If we just find a way for the mobile text to have better text it would solve this. For example on mobile it would look like (goofballgif) and on desktop it would show the actual gif. How about it, SML ? I think that'd be a fair trade. Besides, isn't the whole point of the mobile side of the forums is that it's supposed to be relatively low bandwidth? I would think you wouldn't want it loading all those images anyway.

So as I am a relatively new user to Steam this is has been the first summer sale I've been through. So just out of curiosity for the other Steam users here on the forums, what deals did you all partake in this time around? I had a LOT of older games that I needed to "catch up" on so I kinda went a little crazy when I started seeing them for $2, $3, and $5. So I'll start. Here's my haul... Axiom Verge + Soundtrack BioShock BioShock 2 BioShock Infinite (franchise deal) Castlevania LoS Castlevania LoS 2 + DLC Castlevania LoS: Mirror of Fate (They had all three for next to nothing.) Child of Light Darkest Dungeon Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition Deus Ex: Invisible War Deus Ex: Human Revolution Deus Ex: The Fall (Again they had a really cheep price on the whole deal) Dungeon of the Endless Dust: An Elysian Tail (I already had it on my XB360 but I wanted to see it played on a PC in full HD ) Fallout Fallout 2 Fallout 3 - Game of the Year Edition Fallout New Vegas + DLC (Another franchise deal) Guacamelee! Gold Edition Metro 2033 Redux Metro: Last Light Redux (have this on my XB360 too, but I didn't get the good ending and again I'd like to see it rendered better) Portal (ya.... I know.... should have played this one a LONG time ago... but life ya know?) Portal 2 Project Zomboid Wolfenstein 3D (Part of WolfPack - A special deal they were running) Return To Castle Wolfenstein (Part of WolfPack - A special deal they were running) Wolfenstein 3D: Spear Of Destiny (Part of WolfPack - A special deal they were running) Wolfenstein: The New Order Rouge Legacy Shadowrun Returns Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Directors cut Shovel Knight Transistor + Soundtrack UNEpic Unreal Gold Unreal II: The Awakening Unreal Tournament: Game of the year edition Unreal Tournament 2004 Unreal Tournament 3: Black Edition (They had the Unreal games as a single pack for I believe it was $10) So ya... That's what I landed. Who else got what?

Is there a reason some of the standard smileys on the forums have been replaced by the new ones? I figure these would have been added in addition to them, not replace them. For example I think it would get a little confusing when someone types in : D and gets I mean why not make the heart icon <3 ? Just sayin....

I couldn't help myself, had to animate the Medusa Head and the Ghost If you'd like I have the sprite rips for the Medusa head tilting to the side as well that I could put together for that. I also have the sprites for the ghost first forming.

Castlevania is great, but Bloodstained would be better. If course, you can't go wrong with skeletons. Thanks again, Jim! It is possible to use some of the sprites that were uploaded on tumblr for the backer achievements? Some of them would make cool smileys You can, but a number of them have backgrounds that have to be removed or aren't setup with transparency.

Well I'm not sure how good of a job I can really do. I am not an artist. But I will try to make a Gebel sprite when I get the next opportunity to work on some sprites.
It'll probably be tonight as I just beat Shovel Knight last night and I'd like to have a small break before I start my next game.

I do have one question for you all... Should I try to stay mainly towards Bloodstained themed sprites or should I do some Castlevania specific ones as well? I see we already have Alucard....

I'll see what else I can come up with. Those are just what I could throw together in a couple hours Sunday night using sprites I found around the net.
I'll try to do some enemies and some more characters.

This is what I was saying earlier... E3 is a blessing and a curse. I mean it helps get the word out and all, but then it also puts you under a microscope right off the bat and everything you do is going to be judged. I think it might have been better for them if they had started the campaign earlier and had the E3 demo hit right before or during the final week.
Of course, as was the case with Bloodstained, you can't predict what's going to happen in those last two days. But their comments section IS indeed decidedly more quite than the Bloodstained comments section was. And the data on KickTraq bares that out.

The only thing that ANY of you are infringing on is maybe some copyrights.... XD As for inferring.... That question has already been addressed. I could be wrong here, but I think the word you're looking for is actually "implying". GO GO GRAMMER NAZIS!!!! XD (and yes I was including myself in that.... )

500 over 9 years is pretty darn impressive. How's your hearing after all that? Actually not as bad as you might think. I don't have great hearing at really low volume (think like listening to someone talk quitely from across a large room) but I have REALLY good fidelity in my hearing. I'm not sure how, but my hearing has kind of developed an ALS of it's own. The down side is if I'm at an event that is VERY loud I either have to be able to see the mouth of someone talking to me or they basically have to talk in my ear. As a little kid one of my family's yearly things to do was to go to the local county fair for the first day and last day. Last day was the demolition derby. BUT the first day were the Tractor Pulls! VERY LOUD! VERY IMPRESSIVE! And I never did wear ear plugs. You think concerts are loud? Just wait until you experience the these things making the stand and YOUR CHEST vibrate just from the level of sound they put off. I still go every year to this day. If you are not familiar with tractor pulls look up www.ntpapull.com/ and THIS VIDEO [warning IT'S LOUD!!!!!]) Best moments are at: 1:10 - yes that's 4 supercharged V8s.... 1:29 - twin Allison V12 aircraft engines (B25 Bomber engines) 2:10 - yes that's 6 supercharged V8s!!! You sound pretty social, what with the karaoke and rock concerts, but if you haven't played D&D in a while because you can't find people, there are sites that help you find both local players and online players. Well, let me rephrase my statements. The karaoke and concerts I tend to go to by myself. Most of my friends are either not interested in those things or are currently raising families and have no time for such things but maybe 1-2 times every 1-3 years And as far as D&D goes, there are folks around me who do play... about once a month now, because they have families. But they also mostly do Fate/Core or D&D3.5+ I'm kinda old school. Everything I have is for 2nd Ed. and most folks around here just don't use that system anymore. If they do they tend to keep to them selves and be non-inclusive... But that's ok since my other hobbies tend to take up most of my time anyway.

Hobbies..... Ho boy... Video games collecting video games and gaming hardware Star Wars occasionally watching anime going to rock concerts (i've been to over 500 in the last 9 years) machining electrical design (I'm an Electrical Engineer) pinball (I own one and created a virtual Castlevania themed one) motorcycle riding karaoke (I have a local...-ish karaoke bar that I frequent and sing at pretty much every weekend) collecting old technology (think 70s-90s computers and vacuum tubes) photography collecting old cameras Collecting old movie cameras and projection equipment collecting records (vinyl) D&D (though it's been a while since I played) model building And last but not least live steam! Operating scale model live steam locomotives. And for those of you who don't know what that is, here are a pair of youtube videos! And here's about what it's like from my perspective. If you're interested in any more of that I do have a YouTube channel under the name JBEEUD that I put up most of my videos to. Most of it is live steam stuff but there's some other stuff too.

The same mechanic is used in all of the Gears Of War games. There are items hidden all over the place that give you bits and pieces of the back and side stories of the game.
