No more PMs about the game, please! Here are the 10 winners who followed the rules or close enough to pass (boo to everyone who didn't include the phrase or their Steam name, come on people :p):

YianGaruga
Heart Attack
earvcunanan
Twinduct
eyeless

kami_sama
HadesGigas
snack
Striek
Leon Belmont


Since I'm a nice guy I will also get the game for three bonus late entries since they took the trouble to follow the rules:

M*A*S*H
Castor Krieg
Gibbon

Sorry to anyone who missed out! Since it's super late here, it will probably be some time Friday or Saturday before I get all of the gifts out. Just don't panic, and you should see it show up soon enough. :)

Hey! Thanks, but err remove me from the list :p

Saw it was 6 USD at GMG with the voucher, so caved in. The youtube video showed enough of the game to want me to support it =)

Thanks again though, and yeah pass it on to one other lucky guy =)

Thanks for what you're doing. :)
I just watched 15 minutes of the video you linked, and I think I'll love it.

Sorry, the contest is closed and I reduced it to ten and the two bonus entries who were close. :p I'm going to bed now, and will send the remaining copies out later today or tomorrow.

Well shit.

Worth downloading the 10gb game again to find out or should I not bother? :\
Click to expand...

Definitely don't bother unless you're planning to play the regular game or have some of the other DLC to try out. Kind of blows my mind in hindsight there was 3gb+ worth of content throughout it.

Cool way to get some interest for the game. I had no idea it existed and that video certainly made me interested. Once I'm done with Hotline Miami I'll be checking it out, lonely space games are my favourite.

Edit: Shouldn't have kept watching that video, one more game in the ol' steam library.

Honeymoon over. Nightmare in northpoint is pretty bad, if it wasn't for the fan service I'd be pretty bummed out.
Click to expand...
I am pretty bummed myself by the fact they didn't bother to add a fix for the stuttering and horrible camera shaking with that huge patch. I still can't play the damn game, and it's a shame because from what I've been able to endure (despite the stuttering) it's a really nice game.

Kudos to Blizzard for the big giveaway! Thank you, even though I was late by 3 hours, lol.
Click to expand...

Missed it by a whopping margin, but yep - just wanted to send positive karma Blizzard's way for the mass giveaway. GAF is many things, great and even sometimes not so good, but the vast majority of folks, like Blizzard, are very good people. Carry on being GAF, GAF.

(I should probably be posting in the drunk thread, admittedly)

Very close to finishing Costume Quest, and must say, it's a fun little gem of a game. It reinforces the notion that our backlogs are chock-full of all sorts of wonderful - so get stuck into those games, people (just don't stop adding to the glorious backlog in the meantime).

Very generous of you Blizzard. You definitely sold me on the game. Spelunky + FTL + Mario Galaxy sounds like a complete winner to me. I'll pick it up sometime for sure.

Also I should have asked this earlier but, I won't see a deserted MP lobby with this game right?

It was published by Paradox so it will likely always hold a small crowd. Also, it's free drop-in/drop-out matches so just go where the people are.

Well, apart from the cheap price I bought it because I like Paradox. They generally publish, produce games I like. I think I'll read your OT too. Thanks.

Is anyone here getting Black Ops II?
Click to expand...

I think so, but I'll probably hold out on a deal - whether it's before or after it comes out. $60 is a lot for another Call of Duty. I haven't bought Dishonored, Sleeping Dogs, or X-Com yet either, but I think I want Black Ops II over all of those games.

Is Gamefly still running that code? If so, that'll get you Black Ops 2 for about $47.00.

Yes, it's a very enjoyable game and I'm just about to fight the final boss (I guess). Shame I had to use a guide for the final piece of the
unicorn
costume, and the last battle stamp
(turns out you get it when you beat the final boss)
.

I also have yet to play Stacking, and finish my 3rd playthrough of Psychonauts (first on the Steam version). I'd get Iron Brigade, but it's region locked here.

As the quote above you said, 26 bucks (GMG I guess?) is already quite a sweet deal. I wouldnt expect steam to go lower for a few months either.
