It's finally purchasable on Steam (I've been waiting all day). Also, 20% off until August 9th is a nice gesture. It has a starting price of £14.99 (about $20) with special price of £11.99 (about $16) until August 9th.

The Exeggutar meme is even funnier when you know that this was its original design in concept art. They only changed it because they couldn't fit the long straight neck into an original Gameboy sprite. It's a walking palm tree - it has always been a walking palm tree. Meanwhile, the new ice versions of Vulpix, Ninetails and Sandslash look adorable (not so much sandshrew - whose change reminds me too much of the armoured Goron from Twilight Princess). I think most of the new pokemon look okay, and mixing the Hawaiian dancing traditions with the dancing calls of a bird of a multiple-form pokemon is a great idea - I especially like how it had separate attacks and idle animations for each form.

I think the Island Challenges and battles look awesome (and I totally predicted that they were changing the gym structure!). I'm sceptical on Z-Moves. I found in X/Y/OR/AS that there was a point where Mega Evolution basically made no story fight losable. I'd be interest if it's only specific species (like the ultimate Grass, Fire and Water moves can only be taught by move Tutor to Starter family pokemon) and how early you can get it. Also, I hope Z-moves have some competitive play strategy like Megas ultimately had (and they don't just get stuck in the OP phase like Megas did for a while). Finally, yaaaay more pokemon to traverse the world on! (My favourite part of Alpha Sapphire was flying on Mega Latias)

@ballsleon: Okay, thanks. I'll put an alarm ready for that and then check in around then to see if there's an update <3

Do we know when they plan on doing the next one? I really don't want to miss this one specifically (hint hint for those who didn't see the UPF) live!

OMG I'm so excited and I can't pre-order it on PC and grumble grumble

I want Austin Wintory's soundtrack too!!!

Thanks. I've been waiting for this. Also, 7Digital seems to have a higher quality version of Mirror's Edge's soundtrack as well (albeit under the artist of EA, not Solar Fields) so I grabbed that too.

I guessed between 100-150. I own about 12 different consoles with around 10 games each (I'm guessing - my lowest would be around 5 for the PSP, whereas I own dozens of DS games). It could be much more but that's my guess. I have never given away any games.

@musclerider:I know I could do that. I could systematically go through and figure out which power connectors are LEDs and unclip them - but that's a step I'm not comfortable with getting right (I'm also lazy). While it is my gaming PC, and I have been upgrading it, I didn't originally put it together (just bought the parts with a friend and helped him put it together) so I'm not used to what all the parts do other than the commonly replaceable parts. Essentially, I'm too lazy and nervous to mess with it at the moment. Maybe when I eventually have to change the processor or motherboard, I'll look into it. So far I've only had to change Hard Drives, Graphics Cards and RAM.

@isomeri: I can see how it would be useful, but it just adds sources of light to reflect on things into my eyes. I much prefer ones with varying button shapes/textures to find things in low-light rooms. Only Kayboards I genuinely prefer with lights are the musical instruments so that I can easily tell which modifiers are active (and on what keys).

I hate the LEDs with a passion! I have a completely covered black shell (no logos) but still ended up with a tiny LED ring around the on switch to indicate when the PC is on... which mildly bugs me. If the light isn't used for troubleshooting issues, then I don't want it.

Same dislike for lighting on keyboards and mice too.
