Damn, the "sign in through steam" button on steamgifts.com page fucked up (it took ~3 minutes to load) and I lost =(

Some people keep a tab open with the registration page waiting for a code to show up here.
 
Why isn't there already a separate Steamgifts code thread?

Someone make that shit. And ffs, organize it. Just take down everyone's name in a list, and as a code becomes available, a name gets checked off. The "first to quote me...." system is fucking stupid.

That system is just "first to post".

No need to rage because you didn't get a code. If you are so desperate for a separate thread, how about you make it?
 
Yeah this thread being spammed with non-Steam related stuff is kinda lame. I know it's related to Steam in the sense you can win games, but it's not what this thread is intended for.

agreed, there is a gifting thread or they should create there own for it.
 
played Gatlings Gears on the PS3 --> quite a fun game and you get to customize (limited?) your weapons.

the only thing that bothered me was how limited the range of the Gatling Gun was.. but it was pretty hectic fun playing co-op with my buddy

-worth it if there's a 4pack-

Is Serious Sam Double D supposed to be any good? I see it is available on Steam now.

I played about 10 minutes of it before heading to work and it seemed pretty fun. Reminds me of the old PC side scroller "Abuse" but with Serious Sam's over the top craziness.

Yeah. I just disconnected my router, restarted my computer, load up Steam and it asked if I want to go into offline mode. I choose yes and it loads up like normal but without a connection.
I can load it up, but I certainly can't play any games until I log in.

holy shit why was salsa banned?
 
How are all you crazy party people doing out there tonight? Anyone up for a Steamgifts invite? I'll do a small contest in 5 minutes!

What the hell is Steamgifts and why do people seem willing to sell their first born to get an invite?

I'm no expert, I only googled the site.

But it seems people buy Steam games then put them up for a sort of lottery for people to win. You need to spend 'points' on the lotteries in order to be elidgible.
Apparently points are generated for everybody slowly as people gift games for the lotteries.

I'm sure I've gotten something wrong, but this info is just from a read of their FAQ.

It's a website where you have a 1 in 1000 chance of being gifted Humble Indie bundle 2 or POSSIBLY, just possibly...if you're lucky enough...Portal 1.

cl_minmodels 1

This will limit the Ts and CTs to having just the one model (per-side) regardless of the particular one players choose upon joining the game, and they're very easily distinguishable from one another. Works in both 1.6 and Source.

Oh do I do this in console during game or once I start up the game?
