Lousy luck as usual :/

 

[SuperHans]

Thank you for Burnout Paradise!

Great game with an odd soundtrack.

 

[DXLelouch153]

is modbot broken?

 

[Honey Bunny]

oh man my luck dried out, but thanks for the giveaway!

 

[jshackles]

Just got done adding all of the new backgrounds into the Enhanced Steam database. They are releasing so quickly now I decided to write a script that can scrape SteamCardExchange and pull them directly into the ES database.

There are now 1717 profile backgrounds. Crazy...

 

[Dambrosi]

Restart your steam.

Yeah, that worked. Odd little hiccup, that.

In fact, is it just me, or has Steam become increasingly buggy over the last couple of weeks?

 

[Baha]

Survivor Squad steam keys are up on Groupees if you own the Bundle of the Damned 2.

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Survivor Squad keys on IGS and Groupees (bundle of the damned 2) is now live.

edit: beaten.

 

[I H8 Memes]

Anybody else here that used to visit TeamXbox way back in the day? That place used to be pretty popular. Just went there earlier to get the vibe of the place. Man what an end that place came to. Nothing but spam messages in the forums. It felt like a message board graveyard.

I blame the banderas gif thread

 

[Slacker]

Thanks Dust Golem for walk in the dark 4 and Blablurn for Dead Space!

 

[Rand6]

First to quote gets a Dear Esther code.

 

[nexen]

Thanks for Lucius, Dusk Golem!

 

[Storm360]

I redeemed Batman Arkham Origins earlier today and it had no name too.

I blame the banderas gif thread

such a glorious thread. I had no idea there were so many variations. 56k warning

It's been happening for quite a while already, actually. I think the first known occurrence was like in August.

I know some of our longest GAF members like maybe Shard migrated here from TeamXbox. Not sure of anyone in the Steam thread in specific.

 

[bloke]

hai

Thanks to you now I'm not the only person in here not having Crysis2 in steam collection.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Thanks for ARES, Dusk. : ) (Modbot says I won it, but I haven't gotten a PM yet, so either it's lagged or someone else received it.) Either way, I appreciate the thought!

It can only send a few PMs a minute due to the way GAF throttles stuff. If you don't get the PM in the end, do a my loot PM to get a list of everything you've won.

 

[DXLelouch153]

Thanks to you now I'm not the only person in here not having Crysis2 in steam collection.

ahem i dont have it either

 

[Vazduh]

hai

Thanks for Mirror's Edge!!!

 

[MKUltra]

Can't find it on the store page but the first Portal is also on sale today.

 

[Cuban Legend]

If you don't mind the PS form factor, I'll suggest either the Logitech F710 (wireless) or F310 (wired):

Your computer will see it as an Xbox controller without any additional configuration. It also features a toggle to flip the right analog stick with the d-pad input (handy in some platformers that ignore the d-pad because of the 360's shitty implementation), as well as a switch on the back that flips from X-input (the new standard input) and d-input (the old standard used in older pc games) for compatibility.

Thanks for the PC controller guru session.

I'll buy it at a high price. =)

The only real downside of this pad is its large deadzone, which is not good for shooters. Otherwise it's absolutely fantastic, been using it for the last 1.5 years.

Lol this is not funny anymore, think of anteater
I swear I will buy it for him if I find it cheap enough. Good 'bad' 'game' by the way imho. Read somewhere that the dev made the madest bet there is by making a game unpleasant to play. In some way I can relate. Barely a game, moody as hell and short. But hell if this game don't burn its little place in your soul. More fun to have been played than to play in a way.

 

[kulapik]

Survivor Squad steam keys are up on Groupees if you own the Bundle of the Damned 2.

What up if we have it on desura?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Here's my list of unowned licensed games -- or games that use a license -- on Steam. Naturally, it's not everything, but I thought it might be of use to others who are interested in knowing what to look out for:

Edit: A few of the titles listed are published by the licence holder, like the Magic: The Gathering games, but after Paramount pulled two Paramount-published games, each based on a Paramount film property, I didn't want to take chances.

You seem to be in pretty good shape, a cursory glance of that list suggests that almost all of those are very recent releases and thus not likely to be pulled over the next little while.

I would buy Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock soon if I were you though. BBC has cancelled the planned sequels to the game + the Doctor Who games that were greenlit have not had any updates about getting them put on Steam. Not any imminent signs of delisting, but you take this stuff seriously and the game itself is only $9.99 and never gets discounted, so...

Steam keys are now available for Wasteland if you did the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter. Get your key here: https://rangercenter.inxile-entertainment.com/

It's alright :lol I would buy it during a sale if I want to play it that much lol, it's just one of those games I'm not sure about since there are a lot of negativity towards it, but I'm really curious.

nice, I assume this is the beta, havent really heard much from the game in the past.... months?

I consider it an interactive story rather than a game. On those terms I really like it. Same for the 39 Steps.

What up if we have it on desura?

You get both keys so can activate the game on both clients if you wish or gift one away.

 

[Vindicis]

Sorry, it's a key for the original game, not the beta. Sadly the beta was delayed. The original game will be up for purchase on the 12th to those that didn't do the kickstarter.

 

[The_Monk]

nice, I assume this is the beta, havent really heard much from the game in the past.... months?

It's for the first Wasteland, I believe fellow GAFfer. There's no Wasteland 2 steam keys... correct?

Either way I can't wait for that game since I finished Shadowrun Returns.

Reading comprehension fail on my part, my bad.

Still good news.

hope i win Cave Story
nice giveaway mike

 

[Grief.exe]

Great giveaway Miker, a lot of must play indie titles in there.

Derrick would disagree due to the lack of Terrria. The only Indie game worth playing™

 

[Vibranium]

Thanks for the giveaway Miker, I'm giving it a shot!

Great giveaway Mizer, a lot of must play indie titles in there.

Shots fired, watch out Derrick!

 

[Vazduh]

Yeah, that worked. Odd little hiccup, that.

In fact, is it just me, or has Steam become increasingly buggy over the last couple of weeks?

Yes, my brother says that my status is in-game (even though I stopped playing 2 hours ago) :\

 

[Grief.exe]

Reading comprehension fail on my part, my bad.

Still good news.

The cool thing about the Wasteland 1 port is Inexile has done a good amount of work cleaning up the port to make it run on modern systems.
They have also added in updated portraits for visual fidelity and made it easy for the community to add in their own. Crowdsource the update process in a way.

 

[kulapik]

So the Desura key works on Steam?

Have almost all of them, but thanks!

I agree with this. Been using the wired F310 for a couple of years now. Half the price of a 360 controller and its compatible with a lot more games. You can't really go wrong with picking one up.

That's good news, I can't wait to play my copy of W1. Way before my time, but I'm sure I'll have lots of fun with it.

Will it also be sold on Steam?

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

So the Desura key works on Steam?

No, it's a separate key. You have to access the bundle page you got the Desura key from; there's a new key on there for a Steam copy of the game. If you were gifted the Desura key then you're out of luck.
