Ok so seriously. Is Dragon's Lair a faithful and quality port of the original arcade classic? And should I get it for $5? I could have the game which literally invented the QTE three decades ago now!

Just bought Super Hexagon with trading card money.
Holy shit. I think is the closest I can get at tripping by just a video game.
When I just started, I just saw the beams coming towards you. After a minute, something in me changed and now I can see the whole screen flowing together.

It's 3.74 at getgamesgo.
It's good and I enjoyed it last summer when I got a free copy of the game for PSN which is why I felt bad for the guy when I read that the game bombed hard. I never got into Guitar Hero/Rock Band though, so my viewpoint might be skewed by that.
Pretty sure achievements work offline. Cards on the other hand, I think those are all handled server side so you have to be connected to get them.

So there will be no more flash sales?
No chance of Skyrim: Legendary edition to drop even more?

listen to the mad man
ModBot has passed 1850 giveaways. Around 200 giveaways were added but never claimed--either due to rules, technical errors, or the person just rethinking the gift.
Here is how I am planning to address those 200 unclaimed giveaways:
- Around a week from now, I will automatically convert all giveaways that are more than a week old and not yet taken into rules-free giveaways. In addition to being exempt from all rules including the global timer, these giveaways will allow people to grab more than one title per giveaway (you'll still have to ask for one at a time, but not be limited to one overall in the giveaway).
- No one who originally gave away these titles will receive a receipt for these giveaways, and the giver will be marked ModBot. Original giveaway information will be lost.
- There will be a disclaimer posted, since many of these keys are probably taken (some may have been reposted with slight edits to the key text, for example). So it's not a "YAAAYY GIVEAWAY", it's probably just a waste of everyone's time, but maybe you'll get something out of them.
- Warning: Claiming one of these keys will still count for giveaway purposes, even if it is already taken and/or no good. I do expect the pace of giveaways to slow down after this sale.
- I will post them in batches of 25 or so every day until they are cleared.
- If you have any pending keys that you wish to revoke, please nuke them or redeem them before that period of time. I will modify the loot check function to add games that you have given away that were not claimed so that users be aware of what they have given away that might be on this list.
If anyone feels that this is a totally unreasonable course of action, please let me know. The restrictions listed above are simply based on the most reasonable way to do this without a ton of additional coding and ensuring that the games actually get given away.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Ben There, Dan That! is really, really funny! And it's filled with cool LucasArts references.
It's like i've died and went to gaming heaven.
At first I was debating if I should buy the darn thing, for 36 cents. :/
Eugh!
Glad I made up my mind and did it, though.

I'd be curious to see the metrics at the end of the steam sale.
For instance, which game was given away the most, who gave away the most, who claimed the most games, etc
Would be neat to see.

I am sure it was javadots. Didnt he claim 50 games in just 2 days or so?
No, that's not possible. He didn't last that long.
I hear he claimed 300 games in under 2 hours once.
Or you could watch it on Youtube. Then watch the last battle of Indigo Prophecy and weep for the future it created. Most of that weeping will be from laughing, though.
I think we know the answer to that.
It's all your fault.

Odd games to compare I know, but which should I get Alpha Protocol or Counter Strike: GO. I'm interested in both but I can't get both if I get Rogue Legacy.
Anyone else crazy enough to pull the trigger on PA, or am I going in alone?
Godspeed!

Didn't realise it was so cheap. Picked it up for £0.29.
Need to sell a couple of cards for Super Hexagon.

I only gave away 13 copies.
I really would be curious to see their sales numbers.

I've had to sit this whole sale out and I just realized I'm not getting paid until after it's over.
Boooo.
Boooo.

I can't justify it at that price when it hasn't launched yet. It sure is tempting though.
Or repeated the cycle of abuse and passed on said copies to more unsuspec-- er, victims.
You are all welcome guys. Hope you enjoy them.

I think I asked this in one of the previous threads but didn't get a response. I've been thinking of getting Tomb Raider but the full collection only costs a few dollars more. How are the old games in terms of compatibility? Can I use my 360 controller on them? Will I run into any problems when running the older games like the original tomb raider? Or am I better off just spending the money on something else lol.
I never played the Tomb Raider games but I think it would be fun to run through the entire series.

It was 13$ with the seasonpass at GMG a few days before the summer sale.
