My buddy and I got ourselves each a copy of 7 Days to Die in the previous Steam Sale. And we are not sorry that we did! We took a bit of a chance on it, seeing it's still in Alpha and was released on Early Access, but damn, it's very good so far! The game was Kickstarted last year ( click here for the Kickstarted page ), and they managed to get backers to pledge a cool half a million Dollars, and they only wanted $200k to make the game. The game is currently version 8.8 Alpha (we started playing when it was 8.7), and it's already such a fun game! It does have a few bugs, but that is definitely to be expected from an Alpha build on Early Access. Although you can play the game solo, I highly recommend to rather play with a friend coop. I've never been a fan of Zombie Survival games where other players are a bigger threat than the actual zombies. There are tons of servers online to join, but you can also host a game yourself, which is how my friend and I are playi...

I've been on Steam since I got Half-Life 2 back in December 2004. At first, I hated Steam, like I'm sure many other people also did back then. But now, I get sad when a game I want isn't on Steam. As such, I have, over the last few years, purchased many a game on Steam, and here's my list as of 15 July 2014: 10,000,000 7 Days to Die AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome Adventures of Shuggy Age of Wonders III Alan Wake Alan Wake's American Nightmare And Yet It Moves Anomaly 2 Anomaly Warzone Earth Aquaria Atom Zombie Smasher Avadon: The Black Fortress Awesomenauts Back to the Future: Ep1 - It's About Time Back to the Future: Ep2 - Get Tannen!

In a previous post I bitched quite a bit about how Logitech products are failing me. And now, yet again another Logitech product I own has failed me. Shame on you Logitech! This time around it's my Z506 5.1 Speakers. They just died without provocation. I read up and it seems this too is quite a common thing, it seems something vibrated loose inside. My father-in-law is good with such things, so he is checking to see if he can figure out what's wrong with them. Come on Logitech, stop making stuff that breaks! Or is this normal for stuff that is out of warranty with you?
