Critical Miss: Children of Steam #2

[Cpt. Red]

*looks at his own Steam account*

72 Games...72 in total...

May the gods have mercy on my soul...

You think that's bad ? Wait until your list of games costs more than your computer
(also: 111 games... *glups*)
(edit: actually, steamcalculator.com says 92 while Steam says 111, that's weird)

If you have non-steam games in your library it might count them... Maybe...

Myself I have 79... Soon perhaps 80 thanks to someone mentioning Riddick sale as I have been planning on getting it for a while now...

I don't add non-steam games to the list, but that difference may come from HL2 mods.

I mean, what is the first thing every smart person would do if an apocalypse occured?

If I ever meet one, I'll ask him/her

 

[icyneesan]

That was the first time I died...

 

[Triaed]

Loved it!

 

[Daedalus1942]

Wow, finally! It's taken long enough.
Congratulations, this Critical Miss hasn't critically missed.
This actually managed to arise a giggle out of me.
If more strips are actually clever in future like this one, there may be hope for this series yet but as it stands... this is not Penny Arcade.

Also, buy the Witcher 2 from GoG! No DRM when you buy from GoG!

I noticed that. Are you pre-buying it for when it gets released as an oldie on GOG? Some wait.

CD Projeckt Red owns and runs GoG. And its the only place they can release it DRM free. They want to give their customers the best deal, so its there.

You know, Minecraft isn't on Steam.

Apocalypse solved.

Woo! I can sleep at night again...

This was serious incidentally; MC eats about 65-70% of my gaming time,

 

[Zannah]

Well, no steam... that'd cost me... oh yes, Cod: Bug Ops. Nothing to get mad about really.

You come off as incredibly elitist. Only people with powerful computers and connection to the internet can use Steam. Not everyone can afford both of those.

Ironically the IGN fans might be more likely to go to Direct to Drive which doesn't use additional DRM.

that does come off as strongly elitist. PC gaming isnt all that unless youve done your homework (which as console sales of games have pointed out, the average person doesnt want to)

A 700 dollar laptop made last year can play many steam games including but not limited to: KOTOR, a vast quantity of indie games, Rome total war, medieval II, europa universalis III divine wind, the undergarden, civilization IV, super meat boy and without steam it can plya starcraft II with settings lowered and a great internet connection

so if you got a desktop 4 years ago you are fine and can use steam.

No one needs to play fucking call of duty or new vegas in order to enjoy steam.

I'm sorry for quoting you.

XD

How about Cosmo Yuki? Considering he causes apocalypses, maybe we should ask him.


...On second thought, let's not.

 

[The Random One]

Ah, Alone in the Dark. If you squint and muffle your head you could think you were playing Alan Wake. But you can't do that, because in Alone in the Dark your character squints for you.

Meanwhile, I, playing my GoG.com games, realize the Escapist is town, and mistakenly believe it is but a network issue.

While I do love my Steam collection, I have a substantial collection outside of it, plus I own a nice number of my Steam games on console too. I'll be a hybrid, ravenous and hungry for Steam games yet sane and able to play console games. You won't know when I'll attack...

 

[Tharwen]

Gabe? What have you done?

 

[wildpeaks]

Gabe? What have you done?

Unspeakable horrors, infuenced by R'lyeh, of course ^^)

[mr_rubino]

Why do those retarded Ex-capists seem so familiar...?

No, I'm serious. I can't put my finger on it. Does anyone know?

The one on the right is frighteningly attractive.

I dunno. Just from the doodlings, I would guess the one on the left is more-- oh wait, you mean they are.. oh yes, yes, you are correct. He is indeed a man of attraction and panache.
