I hear this nuuverboopbum site is pretty legit.
That does sound legit. Thanks for the hot tip!

Gamersgate had BioShock Infinite on sale this weekend! Only $26.77. If you're in the US. It's $53.57 for Australians... :/

He's staying with his 'mother' in Lutwyche.
Here he is shortly before he was kicked of the International Space Station
For fucks sake, looks like I'll be escalating that shit too.
Fucking fuck. Requesting refund, will get someone like Wilfare to gift it to me
Hopefully it's not too early to not get the preorder bonus... is it?
How did you file a dispute, exactly? I submitted a support email regarding a problem with my order, we'll see what happens. Also posted in that thread about SR4 keys so hopefully they see that and do something about it.
Edit: I found this on the Reddit post for the sale, think it's the only way I can get an "archived" paragraph of how the game was advertised:

Got a bunch of biometric shit done - taken with a pinch of salt.
Bodyweight currently at 86.7 kg (down from my all-time personal best of 107 kg). Body fat percentage is at 10.6%.
Apparently I grew an inch since last time I got measured properly. Probably from the improved posture maybe. Hooray for me.
Oh and apparently I'm more flexible than expected for a tall guy - at 193cm, I can stretch my hands 16cm past my feet with locked knees. Hooray.
Having little interest in the chore of cardio when I started fitness training, improving my running was never a goal. For a long time, cardio consisted almost solely of a 5 minute warmup on the treadmill. This escalated and I now organise a running group that does a 5km run twice a week, at which I am consistently the fastest. Last week I ran 5km in 25 minutes. Today I ran it at just over 22 minutes. Fairly thrilled with that as strength training has been the goal for the last 6 months since losing a shitload of weight.
Hopefully the running isn't the main cause, as I really enjoy that, but I've got a severe imbalance between the musculature of my legs, and my left knee clicks. For someone that plays a lot of basketball, I also can't jump that high for my height either. Current goal is to build strength in the legs, re-build my gait and running style, and see if I can get my body fat below 10% just for kicks. Totally doable considering my diet isn't as clean as it could be. That means no casual drinking during the week.
Weight control is no longer an issue. I'd read it a million times before, and can now attest to the fact that it's almost entirely driven by nutrition. Despite a few silly things, I've had a good handle on food for the last 6 months. Nutrition/weightless is no longer a concern and now all my efforts are focused on fitness and strength. I'm a bit of a geek, so a big chunk of my motivation is purely in the scientific curiosity of what my body is capable of, considering how much I've abused it with drugs, alcohol, and bad food.
I feel bad that at 30 years old, I have a fitness regime far beyond anything I ever had as a teenager or during uni and every day I think of what I could be capable of today if I'd made fitness a priority in my youth.
Better late than never.

Lol, it's good for Sony to get real exclusivity, not just "console exclusive" stuff.
QQ more salty PC people.

Bottom line is that SSM is developing Rapture with TCR and it might not exist if Sony didn't agree to fund it.

Happy birthday death.
Nice work. 10 percent body fat is very decent, almost in 6 pack territory. I wish more people would realise diet is the main factor to weightloss, what did you cut out food wise?
As for the running, good work. I wish I liked running, I just find it so boring even with music.

Congrats Death.
Would kill for a proper nights sleep. Going to the parentals after work for the weekend too >_<

I want hot chocolate, but I can't be bothered to go and buy hot chocolate. Does green tea count?

I ran out of time and now I've just decided to have my usual cup of tea. Next time.

didnt even see that stuff
Damnit, I was going to do that
With that salty PC gamer thread, must say I understand the reaction if you cite a historical perspective. Pre last gen, there were a ton of games that were looking interesting and coming to PC, then Sony and in particular MS started throwing money at devs to get exclusivity, leaving the PC an absolute wasteland.
Now I don't think this is going to be anywhere near the case this time around, but I do get the reaction.

On the other hand, it sounds like some of these devs were running out of money or at least had money troubles, so without Sony etc their games may not ever exist.
In those instances I'd prefer to see the game finished instead of abandoned, even if I never play it.

Yeah for sure.
Hah!
Where did you get it from? At least you got a key.
I guess this is a good deal? Direct from Sorny:
PS. Did you buy the EA Humble Bundle thingy? Spend over $5ish? Good news! You now own these for both Origin and Steam:
Not at liberty to discuss ==;;
But the account history says "ROW" so I assume it hasn't been converted to Aussie... hopefully. But I think the UK already unlocked so I don't know what the fuck's going on. Fucking geoblocking.
Oh... maybe I should renew my PS+ now again. Does PS+ time stack? I can't remember. I already hopped in on the 90 days last time...

Mine is still there but it says "Game no date set for release."
I just want my money back.
Pretty sure release date is based on IP and not key, so even though we have ROW keys it still won't unlock until September. It should still be the uncut version though.

Yeah the fear of repeat moneyhatting I can understand completely.
ALAN FUCKING WAKE
HA FUCKING LO
That shit tore me up.
In this case though it was just hilarious how salty people got. I was definitely disappointed that they had to change their plans but at the end of the day they went hat in hand to Sony and sought help to keep the project afloat.
They very well could have tried Kickstarter but we have no idea how that could have turned out. They have families to provide for, kids to keep clothed. I can understand seeing a concrete way to provide for them while still making the best game you possibly can. This way their vision for the game won't be restricted.
Still seems a PC version could happen down the track. Will probably depend on some kind of payback to Sony since they are funding it.

Games that go into Sony Jail never seem to get out. Microsoft Jail seems easy to escape.

Depends on the contract I guess. MS tend to hand over some cash for timed exclusivity while Sony gets involved with development and QA alongside fronting up cash.
Joe Danger was a recent one to make it out, that was Pub Fund though pretty sure rather than actual colab.

Say you're an indie.
You need financing.
Someone publishes it. Whether its sony, Ms, EA, Zynga, etc
They may buy the IP outright
They may fund development. This could mean that even if the developers want to self publish it on Steam, they still have to go negotiate with the original publisher, who may get a big cut from platforms they not actually publishing on.
And just to cloud the issue more, the contract on each game will be different. Unless its a page tacked onto the contract from the last game you made with publisher x with changes in biro.
But then again, only games in the NPD ever make money. And games should only score 1 or 10. Black and white. Kids (i dont mean ausgaf, you old fucks), meet something callled gray.
Im waiting for a delivery. Can you tell?
