The next time I throw out some stale bread, I'll think of you.
that's nice of you but I got connections, my man.

You haven't done anything wrong and if you don't frequent this thread often, you would have never known. But people have long memories of the Dirt 3 debacle (where a gaffer collected 100+ codes) and are rightly skeptical when a "Prison Currency" item pops up for sale in a Steam thread. Probably not your best place to try and sell it. A title of that "quality" would be much more likely to be given away for free in here.

I still love me some tasty stale bread.
Edit: Also bought FTL from their store. $9 vs. €8.99. What? I gotta eat too!

Alice starts dragging midway through the first level lol.
Get Alice for 5$ guys, it's so worth it.
DON'T EVER, EVER get it from the euro store. Just ask someone to buy it for you in the States and throw some extra change in their paypal account instead, let's try to send a message here. If they sell x copies in the US market and x/100 in the Euro market they should be able to take the hint unless they're monkeys (and that is a scenario I actually pondered many times).
Edit: it's not the game that drags, it's the single levels. They last about twice as much as they should but you'll feel compelled to go on at the beginning of every new level. The game itself isn't even that long, it's about 10 hours. Not a masterpiece but really enjoyable. Also, go for a higher difficulty than normal, combat is pretty rewarding but it's a bit ruined at the lowest difficulty settings since you don't really have to use everything it offers.

Just coming in here to mention that FTL (new release) is a really good game. Has tons of replayability too. I also think its rather unique in its focus on ship management instead of ship space exploration (You do explore the universe, but its a straight line).
One might get a first impression of a flash game (buy upgrades etcetc), but it really has more depth to it and more feels like a roguelike in overall gamedesign than anything else. I also really like how they integrated long term achievements tied to bonuses like new ship designs. Fun game. Just lost 2 hours without noticing.

I hate those threads it's like playing Russian Roulette, but they replaced the revolver with a machine gun.
welcome back, btw!

First impulse buy in ages, as you can see above. I think I'm gonna try Easy first, I feel like I'm gonna play this several times anyway.
For a beginner "Easy" doesnt seem to be "too" easy anyway. Unlocking the ship designs with the achievements on normal would take way, way longer.
how much a piece does a torchlight II fourpack come down to? may take two spots (one for a buddy) if someone does one, still not sure.
Never got around playing the first one much but co-op makes it 10x more interesting, then there's the whole diablo 3 burn and all that makes me want this all that much more

I was hoping they would do that. But I'll be too busy with Borderlands 2. :-\
$15 per head.
Eh, not really. Once you got the basics (which should take you about 10 minutes to learn) its a pretty fast paced pick up and play type of game. Start a run, fail miserably within 25 minutes, play something else.

Huh, apparently I got an anno 2070 discount coupon
Random question, about to go on our honeymoon in Aruba. There should be no problem accessing my Steam account and any/all games from a country you don't live in, is there? I didn't think Steam cared so much about IP addresses as long as you verify yourself via e-mailed code.
And before you say, "fuck games, go spend time w/your new wife on a tropical island, dummy" we're gonna be there for three weeks and I'm sure there will be a lot of downtime bumming around our hotel.

Yeah, thought I had got something nice.
Yeah, as long as you verify your account from an IP address within that region you should be fine. Prior to signing in via the website, just clear your active logins/cookies and you'll be forced to submit a verification code.
Edit: Unless, of course, you haven't signed into Steam via your browser, in which case you can just attempt to sign in once you've touched down and needn't clear said data.

The tutorial + first sector as demo would do wonders for this game I think. It's all you need to get hooked on the concept.

Is Alice still locked at 30fps, and when you mod it to remove that cap, the mouse aiming is all messed up?

I have a buddy that just got on Steam and I hooked him up with Portal 2 since I had a 75% off coupon. But the problem is he hasn't played Portal 1 yet.
Does anybody have a coupon for Portal 1 they'd be willing to part with?

Next time Serious Sam goes on sale, I think I'll punish someone's curiosity the same way.

What do you need to do for that?
Damnit lol. Alice is 13€ for us during the daily and I was refreshing this thread for another reason every 10 seconds and just now realized the content of Speevy's giveaway post. Sheesh.
Enjoy the game, fellow random Gaffer!
Edit:
But seriously... 13€ in Germany vs 5$ in the US? -_-

I did not notice too. The post lacked the keyword: "quote".
All the time. Try deleting the caption if you entered one. Or just try again in an hour like I do.
