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.
There are loads of games on Amazon for 1 cent from third party sellers, but the shipping is always high. You'll get many games that are 1 cent, but the shipping brings them higher than Amazon's price. #speakup(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.
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
Wow. I guess I'll be downloading it haha. What are the odds of the rest of the trilogy coming to the U.S.? I have heard it both ways but I'm not really sure about the sales numbers. #tips(Edit comment)
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
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
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.
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.
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.

Until tomorrow? Why thank you very much. I've been meaning to grab VII, VIII and IX but I thought I had more time than that. I'll go fetch those now before I miss my chance! #tips(Edit comment)
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
Haha, yeah that was pretty unfair. You could quite easily play the game ten times and have never noticed it existed. I only found it after reading some comments online that made me curious enough to look it up. >_< #speakup(Edit comment)
I just discovered this and am conflicted as my computer could only just barely run Skyrim when I downloaded a crack for a couple days. But I've got this 25% off all Bethesda titles that would also apply during this sale... Decisions....I hate them. #deals(Edit comment)
Hmmm I already have Osmos and World of Goo from previous humble bundles... and I'm pretty sure my laptop can't handle Anomaly. So that leaves me with Edge. Not sure if want, but I'll probably still buy and pay above average, just to support the cause. I did get way more than my money's worth with the last bundle, so it's the least I can do. :p #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).
How does this compare to Reccetear? I know the second game Carpe Fulgur localized looked like rubbish and I didn't hear good things about it so I avoided it.. haven't heard a single whisper about this game though. #speakup(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
