Thanks, nice to see someone is for real.

And I'm glad that I missed trying the fake codes from before. I would have felt more of a fool than I already did with my comment wishing I was home.

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Any thoughts on Dark Fall: Lost Souls?

Been playing Scratches, and am in the mood for more Myst-like horror adventures. Dark Fall looks interesting, but I'm mainly curious as to how well-designed or not the puzzles are. Are they mostly logical and clever or just plain frustrating?

From Tony on CAG: The next weekly Amazon deal will be LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 for $13.99. ALL of their main pages specifically list Steam Activation as a requirement. The weekly deal the weekend after the upcoming LEGO deal will be Prototype 1 + 2 + Radnet DLC for $12.49. Prototype 1 is NOT Steam Activated.

Tony has answered my prayers!

I don't remember these LEGO games ever being cheaper than this on Steam.

The Lego Indy games were Dailies at half off ($10) about six weeks ago.

Edit: Oh, I see, the Lego games are in a bundle. I'd thought $13.99 was the per-game price.

enable vsync for Prototype, when i tried running it without it would mistime the countdown timer for events. it took about 40 seconds to do a 3, 2, 1 countdown to start anything.

Thanks. And the other guys thanks too. I've been wanting to play these for awhile and I said screw it and went ahead and got them.

I wonder how long I'll have to wait for Dishonored to get a big sale.

I'm hoping for half off at the end of the year, although that'll depend on whether or not it has sold in line with expectations. -33% may be more likely.

Edit: In either case, the Steam UK will be the way to go to get the game on the cheap (it has a base price of 30 pounds).

I also just need Batman 2 LEGO from the upcoming Amazon deal, just to put it here wayyy in advance, in case anyone wants to sell it to me out of their pack.

GAF, I have a rather strange question. What language should I write the screenshots descriptions and games recommendations? 80% of my Steam friends are GAFfers: only 6 of the 50 people in my list are friends or people I know from real life.

To anyone who doesn't have English as their native tongue: what do YOU do? Post in English or your main language?

If the 80% of your friends speak english, write down your recommendations in english, easy! or maybe you can write in both languages (english and spanish or whatever the language is)

I write them in English, since all my Steam friends are gaffers.

English. I rarely use Malay when I'm posting anything on the internet.

It really wrecks with your grammar if you do so too.

Random question - does that version of Steam Mover from 2010 still work? Nothing's changed with Steam that would break it?

I haven't had any issues with it.

Unrelated, but does it seem to anyone else like Russia and other Slavic countries are underrepresented on GAF?

Thanks for the feedback. The consensus is I should use Esperanto then, right?

From now on I'll post in English, but I don't feel like translating the things I already wrote in Spanish. There aren't many of them, maybe 4 or 5 screenshots and a single recommendation, but I'm too lazy.

I caved and ordered Hitman with that GMG code, hard to resist at $33. It better not be as bad as it has looked since it was first shown.

So I just noticed that Steam now allows you to tag a picture as "potential spoiler".

Was hoping they would add this with the new community feature, hopefully people will actually use it.

I only need the Lego HP games- bought Lego Batman 2 when it was on sale a few weeks ago. I'll try to remember to PM you when the deal goes up!
