Is the game good?

 

[derFeef]

Is the game good?

Everyone is buying it, so yes?

Spoiler

It probably is not very good.

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

Is the game good?

It's just decent brawler and it doesn't try to take itself serious which is nice. Better than Garshap.

Source: Played at friend's house.

Even if they do, it'll probably be something crappy like combine 3 emoticons and get 1 random emoticon. Your chances of getting :weed: will be less than winning 1st prize of a lottery considering how many different emoticons there are out now.

This post tells me the weed emoticon is very valuable. How much is t currently?

 

[Grief.exe]

Do you think the game will hit the ground running or is it still going to be a long time till it is "done" even after release?

It really depends on how much content they were able to finish off the past couple of months while they were polishing up the network code.

It is going to be a long time before its 'done' though. They have plans to add tons of weapons, vehicles, and base building. And they want to rip out the zombie AI and renderer, though the former may already have been fixed.

The whole point of taking so long to get the open Alpha out in the wild was to set up a good base so they could iterate content quickly.

 

[Jiggaloboy]

This post tells me the weed emoticon is very valuable. How much is t currently?

Around $15 still.

 

[jakershaker]

Should probably mention that that Edna & Harvey game is the old one, not the new one in the image. I got excited for a moment.

Doh, seems like I didn't give Modbot enough info

It's the one currently in humblebundle.

 

[kevin1025]

What are usually the chances for games to be added to Humble Bundles, especially the weekly?

 

[cripterion]

Oh man that Call of Juarez & Far Cry Blood Dragon deal for 12,50€! Freaking good.

 

[Xanathus]

Lowest is $16 at the moment http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/205610-:weed:

The chances for weekly are close to zero

 

[More_Badass]

I'm poised to make around $95 from my cards. I could get used to this.

Damn, how many cards do you have? I barely made $4

 

[kevin1025]

Darn, I've been eyeballing Chaos on Deponia for a little while now. But the autumn sale is right around the corner so it's not so bad.

 

[Xanathus]

Saw this on r/gaming, it looks like someone forgot to add in a decimal point while beating the average humble bundle price.

edit: is just me or is the Save button bugged? Always have to go advanced -> save changes.

 

[JaseC]

Damn, how many cards do you have? I barely made $4

I listed 593 things all up (mostly cards, but also some backgrounds and emoticons). 348 down, 245 to go.

 

[jediyoshi]

It's alright, nails its silly b-movie cutscenes.

Also, the game crashes with the current Steam client beta. Gotta revert to play.

 

[Addnan]

My Black Ops 2 refuses to start. Steam shows I am playing it, then it shuts down instantly. Any fix for it? Tried reinstalling, verifying cache. The usual stuff.

No one is that stupid, he/she just wants to donate money.

No one is that stupid, he/she just wants to donate money.

When you see a Dota 2 item being sold for 38,000 USD, someone giving away $465 to charity through HIB seems plausible. I don't think it is an error.

I am giving away a Steam key. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line below containing the key.

Thanks for the key Crub!

It looks very very easy to accidentally do that in a hurry if you're not careful, try it yourself. There's no warning other than a textbox showing up with options to add your name to the top contributor's list, but it defaults to Yes and sets the name as Anonymous. Also unless someone intentionally set that amount to be funny, there's no reason why you would donate that specific amount.

 

[Addnan]

Thanks. Getting out of the beta is going to remove my shared games right?

Anyway, you can ask for a refund, and the HIB guys will proceed.

 

[Arthea]

I won Dark Fall!
Thanks Mr Orange.

will check on my unused keys later and give away some in celebration.
Do new HB links work for modbot? no problems?

 

[Nabs]

There's a good chance of that happening. It's weird that no one has figured out how to fix it yet.

High price in steam market? Steam money transfer.

In this case, joke.

I mean listing Dota 2 38,000usd.

It takes your edit, just doesn't look like it does. Go back to the last page, then forward again and it works fine.

 

[Copons]

Cool, I wake up this morning and Steam asks me to restart for an update that fixes launching of uPlay games.

Valve: competition our ass, we're gonna fix your clients because we don't give a damn.


EDIT
Also: thank you very much Crub for Solar 2! I wanted it for years and I've missed it lots of times! :*

 

[Addnan]

Hmm, Valve just released an update for the DX11 games launching as mentioned above. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/announcements/detail/1801732630999145589

I guess that's not the problem I am having with blops 2. Still not booting.

Sounds good.

Every time I've checked in they have seemed to be doing major things like you mentioned such is "we are completely re-doing the zombie AI" and they didn't seem all that confident that it would work out.

But that is only the odd video. Looking forward to it happening soon.

So can someone sum up the reason for this tax form thing I have to fill out in order to list more than 200 items on the marketplace?

 

[Hawkie]

So can someone sum up the reason for this tax form thing I have to fill out in order to list more than 200 items on the marketplace?

The United States Internal Revenue Service requires us to report gross sales for, and provide IRS Form 1099’s to, only those subscribers who are U.S. citizens or residents and who exceed 200 sales transactions in a calendar year and also exceed $20,000 in gross sales proceeds from those sales transactions in that same calendar year, from all of that subscriber's accounts. If you are a U.S. citizen or resident and exceed both of these thresholds, we will report the amount of gross sales to the IRS and provide you with Form 1099.

Why is Shelter in bundles already? It was just released. I was pretty much ready to buy it on sale, but now I got it for almost nothing.

too many indies, too many bundles, it is like everybody expect everything to be part of 1$ bundle very soon after release.

Ah I see, so I still have to fill it out at 200 but if I don't reach $20,000 in revenue I won't have to pay taxes on it?
