[HalfwayOrb]

Thanks, xelios, for Razor 2!

 

[Saty]

Thanks for Lucious.

 

[Gamerloid]

That I know of, but my friend 7extonly who I believe has signed up for GAF but was having difficulty with a proper e-mail is level 194.

How the heck did you get your level so high? At your level, do you get booster packs often?

 

[tylergregg]

Thanks xelios, I took one of The 39 Steps.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Thank you xelios for Samantha Swift & the Golden Touch!

Thanks for the impressions.
I've been meaning to jump on this game for quite some time and forgot it was even on Steam. Back when it was releasing I would always gander at it especially in the game mags. If it hits a sale price come the winter sale i'll pick it up. I did want to ask did the PC port have controller support or was the M&KB stuff fine....also a bit OT but have you went back to play Extermination or RLH on PS2 yet? Just asking since i'd like to hear your impressions on those.

I used M&KB is what I used and it worked fine (keep in mind I think Resident Evil 5+6 have fine M&KB controls), but I believe the game has controller support, but you need to input it once the game is launched. Going to controls allows a 'second control figuration' and it reads as if it'd be responsive to controller input, but I'd have to test it to find out myself. I also should mention the two flaws I recall with the port, which may or may not be important based on who asked, is that this game has no windowed mode and that sometimes there's a strange start-up crash (which you can fix by going to the game's files and deleting res.bin, it's some weird resolution issue that deleting that file will fix). One thing I also might want to toy around with when I check controller settings might be the fact that the game has its source files open and easily accessible, so it would be really easy to change things like enemy and weapon damage output and other things in theory, want to play around and see if it's as easy as it looks.

I own both, but have not played Extermination yet, but have played some RLH previously. Extermination, having not played it, I am aware if a Resident Evil clone mixed with elements of The Thing which is infamously known for its terrible voice acting. RLH, from what I played, shows its age, and reminds me of the era of the late 90s/early 2000s 'gritty' action horror that existed. Not action-horror as we know it today, but the more tough-as-nails and grissly type that was popular around that time.

However, something that makes RLH notable is that it has an actually pretty interesting story with some pretty decent acting. I don't want to give away too much, but the Dead Space series definitely took some inspiration from this title (the story has some REALLY similar elements, the setting and some of the backstory is suspiciously similar, and some of the monsters in this game were almost carbon-copied for Dead Space, as in they look the same, function the same, and some even share the same names). I also think that one of the plot twists of the game is a mixture of being laughably stupidly entertaining but also disturbing and actually fairly unnerving.

 

[XShagrath]

You can nuke the key yourself.

I'll keep that in mind for next time. I went ahead and passed it on though. Xelios should be getting a thanks from a fellow GAFer soon.

 

[Crub]

Bought Castle of Illusion and the game is all blurry to me. It even affects the Steam overlay. Anyone knows a fix for this?

Solid giveaway, Dusk Golem. Preliminary "congrats" to whoever wins Sonic Racing. That game is pretty dang fun.

Thanks for HIB #3. The key had already been used but it's all good. Appreciate it anyway.

I may be mistaken about this, but because of the new 'claim' feature on Humble Bundle, if you claim the URL, it should be added to your Humble Account, and you should at least be able to download the DRM-free versions. Not on Steam unfortunately, though.

 

[NaM]

Thanks Dusk!

So many cool people and giveaways. Thanks guys.

Fixed that for you

[Gamerloid]

Thank you very much NG28 for Dead Space!

I get 2-3 booster packs per week on average when there are no major sales, so it's not crazy or anything. I also still have 90+ games I need to idle for cards for them to be eligible for booster packs though, and I've been trying to do that before the sales since more people are crafting badges during sales, which = more boosters.

As far as getting that high level, it's just crafting lots of badges. For most people I'd say it's not worth leveling much, maybe to 20-30 to get a few showcases. The amount you spend and the opportunity loss from using cards you could have sold far outweighs any money coming in from getting more boosters at a higher level. I doubt I will ever level past 120 as it just takes too many badges to get a level now.

I thought you would've received more booster packs at your level a week. Guess I'll just stop at level 50 just to double my chances of getting some. I wonder how long it'll take to make all the money back. lol

Thanks for the info. Hopefully when you idle those 90 games you'll get a lot more packs to sell.

For whomever grabs Just Cause 2 from Dusk Golem's great giveaway, remember that there is a multiplayer mod to make it amazing. http://www.jc-mp.com/

Sorry about that. I don't remember giving it away, but its been awhile.

Thanks for the generous posts guys.

Yeah but this was a Steam key and when I entered it into Steam it said it was already claimed. What you're talking about applies to newer humble bundles after they changed it to the new redeem system. No worries though, it's not a big deal.

It had a lot of personality, though.

Weirdest food I eat on the regular is black pudding (Irish blood sausage).

I hope that's eaten raw. You lose a huge amount of flavour when you cook it.

Man, so much generosity going around. You'd think people were clearing out keys for a certain sale or something.

Is there any pertinent Steam related news from the past week? My internet has been out since Monday, and I don't have time here to read the entire thread. Roommate mentioned something about mandatory steam wallet, but that's about it.

There've been updates on in-home streaming, but those have just been FAQ-type updates.

AFAIK, the only thing wallet is mandatory for is buying stuff in the MannCo store (and I'd presume through whatever the Dota-equivalent is).

Thank you for the update. Didn't think Valve would lose their minds like that.
Good to know I haven't missed too much.

In a year that has been full of forgettable, boring games I think AC4 might just take the crown at the last leg of the race. For a game that supposedly redeemed the series it's really no better than 3 and has every problem the series has had since 2. There is almost no point in doing any of the incredible amount of things that are on the map, at least none that I've been able to find yet. I'm honestly struggling to stay awake while playing this. I'm finding that I pause every 10-20 minutes just to go on my PC so I can wake myself up.
