Valve's Daily Deal for February 14th is Dinner Date ([store.steampowered.com]). For those that don't know, Dinner Date is an Indie Game about a man trying to cope with the fact that he was stood up for a romantic date he's been expecting for a long time. It's "Forever Alone: The Game", more or less.
I don't think this was a coincidence. I think that Valve chose this game as if to say "If today, on Valentine's Day, you your main priority to see what Steam Games are for you, all we can say is that we think this game may be something to which you can relate."
Let the Concurrent Users Online data for this game tonight be a testament to the tenacity and loneliness of geek's everywhere.
This simulated toast is to you!

(Edit comment)TRAILS IN THE SKY for 20 bucks on PSN! GO GO GO!!!!
Yes, I am aware that this was in the PS Store update thread but the formatting of the "Price drops" section made it cumbersome to see what got price dropped.
I made the mistake of skipping over that section exactly because it looked like a blob of text instead of the usual list of items that I was expecting.
I found out about the price drop only after I got on the PS Store and saw it listed at 20 bucks under the Price Drop section.

The game is EXCELLENT. XSEED have done an excellent job with its localization.
[www.joystiq.com]
There is a great deal of story with the Trails in the Sky trilogy, many of which are important background points to the new sequel trilogy consisting of Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki.
(Note: Trails in the Sky trilogy is known as the Sora no Kiseki trilogy.)
I've basically been playing Trails in the Sky again and again instead of playing other games. >_< #tips
(Edit comment)*sigh*
Another game to that backlog, I suppose. Any idea what the chances are on the rest of the trilogy coming over here? Were the sales strong enough to support it? #speakup
(Edit comment)Sales numbers are so-so and XSEED is sort of trudging along with Second Chapter at the moment.

Grand Knights History is currently on pause because VanillaWare is focusing on Dragon Crown before they will shift focus back to GKH. Thomas, from XSEED Games, is a regular commenter over at Siliconera. #tips
(Edit comment)The Trails in the Sky trilogy will be on both iOS and Android as well. Problem is, the localization on iOS and Android is done by a completely different entity.
I'm still going to wait for the PSP/PSVita localization though largely because the entity that is doing the iOS and Android localization has a shitty track record.
[www.siliconera.com]
(Edit comment)I don't have a PSP.
Is this game available on other platforms? Like PC or something? I've heard great stuff about the story (I looooove good story). So I thought JRPG + Excellent Story = Holy shit I must play this. Might be another fucking Chrono Trigger.
And CT is the only good JRPG I've played, holy shit.
(Edit comment)If you are getting the PS Vita, you can play it on your PS Vita. That's what I plan to do and it'll be the 4th time that I'll be playing through Trails in the Sky. I really should play some of my other backlogged games though. XD
The Trails in the Sky series is also getting ported to iOS and Android but the localization is done by a completely different entity that has a history of shitty localizations. I still recommend that people pick up the PSP version by XSEED regardless of physical or digital format.
It is an excellent game. #tips
(Edit comment)PSP Vita it is. Once the price drops.

Well, given that I've just bought FFVII, VIII and IX for a grand total of £10.77, I'm fairly sure that IX is definitely included! I bought those three, picked up FFV for free as a PS+ bonus and I already have VI on my hard drive. Plus, XIII-2 is current in my PS3 disc drive, that's a whole lotta Final Fantasy sitting right there!
*waits patiently for HD FFX and Versus XIII to add to the collection, whilst praying for a HD version of XII as well* #speakup
(Edit comment)HD FF XII with a few fixes on the game would be great..

Oh wow. Definitely getting in on this one.
This will mark the fourth time I've bought World of Goo, though (though it'll be the first for Android). #speakup
(Edit comment)Bought it, even though I already have the all games listed on Steam.
Still, free Android versions (even though I don't have an Android phone). Might give away the Steam codes later, if I'm feeling generous (still reeling from yesterday's struggle with getting another Steam game).
(Edit comment)Yayifications!

(Edit comment)Chantelise was one of the first few games that EasyGameStation made so its age was very noticeable when compared with Recettear (which was made after Chantelise).
Thing is, Fortune Summoners was made by LizSoft, which is a different group and its mechanics are very different from Recettear. Where Recettear was about running a store and keeping yourself from getting foreclosed on, Fortune Summoners is more about 2D adventuring/platforming. #tips
(Edit comment)More games promoting capitalism is great for capitalism. #speakup (Edit comment)
I know, I know, but I'm on a budget.
Dammit, I shouldn't have spent my funds on Space Pirates And Zombies (Steam Deal last week) and some recent Microsoft Points.
Hopefully I can get my next paycheck soon, but I'll probably have to pay full price by then. I guess they'll get more cash from me, haha!

(Edit comment)Neato. If I didn't already own Deus Ex, I'd totally buy it DRM free.
I have this weird hope that Final Fantasy 7 and 8 will get re-released on one of these download places someday. I dunno how 7 is on PC, but I thought 8 was good. #speakup
