Just firing up Steam for a look now .

Have you heard much about the new "Bomber Crew" game? It sounds a little similar to FTL, which I loved!

New prices:

Bayonetta - £10.04
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with both DLC's - £13.99
Planet Coaster - £16.49
Grim Dawn - £6.79
Victor Vran - £3.99
Full Throttle Remastered - £7.36
Grim Fandango Remastered - £2.74

I have all of those but paid more than the prices shown here for them I am reminded of why I wait for the price of a game to drop and don't buy a game on its release date.

I'm enjoying all of the above apart from Planet Coaster (it's kind of a successor to Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 where you build theme parks with rides you can ride on) which I'm finding quite difficult and frustrating to build things in.

I did pick up SOMA on GOG yesterday for £5.69 which is in the Steam sale for £5.74 which I'm finding enjoyable, it normally goes for £20.

Steam Autumn Sale: November 22, 2017 - November 28, 2017

1800 tonight, more of the same I'd imagine. Nothing hugely interesting.

Christmas sale start today. I assume it will be much the same as any other steam sale though. Gone are the days of epic deals etc.

I'm not even going to look (unless a stonking deal appears in the bargain forum) - as I've got too many games still to play. I did end up buying Just Cause 3 in the last sale, as it was super cheap and loads of fun - but other than that, there isn't much that interests me at the moment.

I just bought the re-mastered version of Bulletstorm with the Duke Nukem character mod for £12.22, it's been for sale at £30 (+ £4.73 for the Duke Nukem mod) for a long time now and I wasn't going to pay that much for a game I'd previously purchased.

I still have the hard disk of the original game in its case but it won't run on Windows 10. Probably because it was originally released as a 'Games For Windows Live' which as we know Microsoft ditched after a few years. Thank you Microsoft.

Bulletstorm is a good fps game so I thought I'd like to play that through again.

On the same note I bought Fable III in Steam some time ago which is another 'Games For Windows Live' release and it worked ok in Win 7 but won't work in Windows 10.

Whichever is to blame - GFWL or Win 10 - it's still down to Microsoft and let's not forget my Xbox 1 copy of Gears For war 4 won't now work in Win 10. I'm definitely not impressed with Microsoft

Finally, yesterday evening my network wireless printer stopped working. I had to fetch it from another room, connect with a usb cable, uninstall it then re-install with new drivers which (eventually) got it working wirelessly.

It's a Brother printer and I downloaded the new drivers from their website where they stated that my printer wouldn't now work with Win 10 following one of Microsoft's compulsory updates. Thank you Microsoft, thank you.
