Me too. Just got up from bed just to do that.

 

[sarcastor]

steam itself is down. the website works but what good is that. people are complaining on their FB page though

 

[Tellaerin]

Okay, glad it's not just me, then. (Though it's possible that Steam's trying to protect me from Archeblade...>.> )

Seems good, therefore thou shall not play.

 

[Deques]

He really is the Giveaway Jesus.

He and xelios. Too bad I missed both big giveaways. Wasn't a loss to me since I already got most of the giveaway games

 

[Tellaerin]

Seems good, therefore thou shall not play.

I vaguely remember someone here panning it. I got through the training mode and it seemed like it might actually be kind of enjoyable. Then I tried to get into an online match and got a sync error, so I logged out of Steam and tried to log back on again. That's when Steam decided that I wasn't connected to the internet.

Edit: And it looks like we're back in business.

 

[okayfrog]

Came home to find out I had won Resident Evil: Revelations from Dusk Golem. Thanks so much!

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Oh good? Would like impressions.

I need to buy myself a pair of vintage sandals to complete the get-up.

You do that well beyond sandal duty,

I hate sandals myself, on girls, giggity.

 

[kiguel182]

Does anybody here tried playing Super Meat boy with the new dual shock?

The pc controller I had broke and since I'm getting the PS4 I wouldn't need a new one.

 

[JaseC]

I am strangely aroused.

Edit: These daily Uplay client updates are starting to irk me.

 

[Barzul]

I probably buy it for 10 bucks. Amazon also gives you $5 promotional credit that can be used later for each purchase made during the sale and the whole December

Wow that's kind of incredible, so every purchase nets me $5 credit?

 

[gwynplaine]

Wow that's kind of incredible, so every purchase nets me $5 credit?

Yes. The way it's worked in the past is that they don't stack. But if you do complain and act ignorant and a customer rep is generous they would combine it into one big credit for you. Not that I've tried the latter.

adding this in:

From now through December 31, 2013, purchase anything from the Digital Games Store and get a $5 promotional credit to spend in the month of January on Editor's Choice Best Games of 2013 (Editor's Choice titles will be selected in the coming weeks). Holiday promotional credits given out for Digital Games purchases cannot be redeemed until January 2014.

As with previous years, the coupons won't stack.

 

[Hasney]

Everytime that Eve Rubicon comes up on the store carousel, it makes me want to go get a can of Rubicon Guava.

 

[kulapik]

Why did you all have to do this giveaways at midnight here?

 

[Faabulous]

Someone from this thread recommended me AI War. Thank you for that. This game is pretty fucking awesome, I'm having a blast. If anyone is interested in RTS's, definetely try this out.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Go home Deadly Promonition, you are drunk

Same information in both links.

That's a lot of deals...!

Will grab Zeno Clash 2 for $5 and maybe Ducktales once it goes on sale.

 

[Copons]

So apparently yesterday I went to sleep 2 minutes before JaseC's vengeance giveaway.
Goddammit time zones!

But apparently I wasn't interested in anything, and now I feel like the upcoming sales could be useless to me and I'm scared, because: useless sale = life has no meaning anymore. :'(



Also

Half-Life 3 confirmed.

 

[ashecitism]

I just realized that the whole Assassins Creed series came after HL2:EP2 and there's 6 full-blown AC titles...

Not sure to laugh or cry.

Don't forget the yearly CoDs, the Mass Effect trilogy (with a 4th one announced), Uncharted trilogy (with a 4th one announced), 2 GTAs, 2 Fallouts (with a new one possibly being announced soon), 2 Halos (with a new one announced), Diablo 3, SC 2 etc

it's bumming me out more then it should at this point

In the event that I botched on entering the humble-bundle gift links, just PM me after you win and I'll send the correct link

Thanks a lot for FEAR 2 !

Go home Deadly Promonition, you are drunk

 

[Blue Ninja]

From what i've heard, it is indeed straight xinput

Interesting. Any sources on that?

 

[wazoo]

Can I go back to indiegala and increase my amount to get the BTA or am I dead ?

 

[toddhunter]

Can I go back to indiegala and increase my amount to get the BTA or am I dead ?

From the FAQ at the base of the page:

Yes. To unlock (upgrade) your purchase, you must do another transaction on your personal account, this means you must do another transaction on your profile using the same email address and WITHOUT checking the "Is it a gift" link because gift transactions don't upgrade your personal account.

 

[MNC]

that's a pretty good looking horse

Go play with your Pokeymans or something.

[Turfster]

... Turning steam back on after 2 weeks of no activity is... interesting.
80 downloads and counting...

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Anyone have a spare copy of The Ship? Wanted to play with a friend

This is against the thread rules. Please read the OP, for your sake [and ours].

So how does Modbot work anyway? At first I thought it was just a mod but I've seen it post before. Someone explain plox.

This is also in the OP.

A friendly pointer to a happy GAF life: not reading the OP is frowned upon here. You have not reached full member status yet so any ban would be a permaban. It's in your interests to always read the OP but it's your choice.

Please don't flame me here *snip*

You raise a valid concern.

smh at some of the initial responses though. Fortunately, more level headed responses soon drowned out the ad hominem posts.

I used to read every single post in these threads but just have to scan them now .

When I do big giveaways I always include the "PMTHANKS" rule, which asks people not to clutter the thread and instead to PM the giver with thanks.

Maybe Stump can make this rule make its message at the very top of the post in red highlight. I guess that still wouldn't force people to use it (or read it), though.

Many don't read the text that goes with the ModBot listing in their rush to hoover up free stuff :/. Your giveaway and the avalanche of 'thanks' posts is a prime example.

So apparently yesterday I went to sleep 2 minutes before JaseC's vengeance giveaway.
Goddammit time zones!

But apparently I wasn't interested in anything, and now I feel like the upcoming sales could be useless to me and I'm scared, because: useless sale = life has no meaning anymore. :'(

Enter Copons to cheer me up .

 

[Jawmuncher]

I find it's a passage of entry to steamGAF to be told to read the OP at least once.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Has Gabe appeared in Steam games, voice aside?

 

[Faabulous]

There are games with Gabe's voice in them?

 

[Madrugador]

I think he's talking about Audio Commentary.

 

[dani_dc]

Left 4 Dead developer commentary had Gabe in it if I recall.
Other Valve games probably do as well.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Nabe's in Knights of Pen and Paper

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Yeah, I really liked Rage, and decided to pick it up with card money.

 

[Anustart]

Trying to start a new game is like pulling teeth. The same can be said about my tv viewing habits. I just don't like to start new things :/

I'll look at my steam library forever, then because I 'can't' find anything, I'll just turn on super hexagon, plants vs zombies or something and not start a game I've yet to try.

I have the same problem, so here's what I'm doing: I look at my Badge List, see which games I didn't play that still have Card Drops, and I start playing them. It's usually one card every 40 minutes, so, depending on how many cards you have to drop, that's like 2-4 hours per game.

I found some real stinkers (oh god Guncraft and Nuclear Dawn) and some Forgotten Gems (Fortix 2!) that way.

 

[NaM]

I'm almost done with The Swapper but those last puzzles are giving a headache.

 

[JaseC]

Wizard Wars is now on Steam RU. Huzzah!

 

[Stallion Free]

Yeah, I really liked Rage, and decided to pick it up with card money.

The beauty of Steam + free weekends.
