Anyone remember that Paradox Interactive game giveaway? Anyone get the game? I think it was Cities in Motion that was being given if we filled up a form.

Yes, I got the mail on April 5th. You are correct, it was Cities in Motion.
They just gave you a code to redeem it in GamersGate. Never got to use it (and to be honest I'm not interested in the game), so... Do you want it?

Quantum Conundrum - $13.49 (-10%)
$17.99 for the Game, Soundtrack, and future DLC packs.
Pre-Purchase Quantum Conundrum now, receive 10% off and receive three items in Team Fortress 2:
The Atomic Accolade - Skip past all the boring busywork of science and get right to the exciting part: the fabulous prizes! This prestigious ribbon certifies your bravery in the field of excellence.
The Quadwrangler - This quantum-collared lab coat includes a handy rubber pipe that siphons blood from your heart, where it is not needed, to your shooting arm, where it is!
The Professor's Pineapple - We don't know what's in it, but we found it in some rusty drums buried in a shallow grave in a forest, so let's face it, you'll probably get super powers if you drink it.

Gamersgate? No steam?

Yeah, only Gamersgate. I guess that's why I didn't redeem it myself :lol
If anyone is interested, send me an MP. I'm not going to use it for anything anyways.

Season pass? C'mon, Kim. Did you learn nothing at Valve?
Yeah I know, it's SE

What a great deal. Cheaper than I was expecting too.

That could use about 80% less bloom. Is it 2003?

Kinda disappointed in that as well, but at least I know I can probably get that DLC during a later Steam sale if I'm still interested in playing more of the game.
Sad to see someone like Kim Swift, formerly of Valve, decide to do this season pass crap instead of taking a cue from Valve and simply treating their customers right. Or Sega, or whoever's responsible.
Not that it's unreasonable to ask people to pay for more content, but seriously, Valve has shown countless times that building goodwill will give you so much more in the long run.

I am going to die.
On the plus side, Anno 2070 both looks and performs vastly better with all that bleary-eyed hazy post-processing disabled.

I think financially Valve is in a bit of a safer situation to say, "Hey, free stuff!" as opposed to a developer who's only other title was Dark Void.
Still, it looks kind of like the anti-Portal. Paid DLC, the colors and monster design look kind of replusive to me, and at least from the trailer, the puzzle mechanics just look rather confusing. =/

Admittedly, it's a bit early to tell whether the DLC is gonna be worth the money. For all we know it could be some pretty meaty content. It's not like they're selling a 50$ game with 40$ DLC on top.
In other news: I just noticed that I own every single bundle except for the Android 2 one
how did I miss that?!

Yeah, sometimes you know whats the "right" or "better" thing to do, but you just can't. Valve is in a very different place.

Once upon a time, Crysis 2 was on Steam.
It used to be up a long time ago.

What's the problem with Airtight?
oh okay !
Thanks for reminding me. :'(
Because that worked so well last time.
(also HL3/episode 3, har har etc.)
I enjoyed it. It wasn't amazing but it was a solid game.

Crysis 2 used to be on Steam, then went Origin exclusive I think,

You could just buy the marketplace version of the DLC and play it through the steam verison
All of that Batman DLC is done through GFW marketplace including code redemption.
But it has new hats.

Yeah, but who actually trusts Microsoft with their credit card information?
Not me!
That's what XBL points are for
People who got the damn things stuck on through XBL subscriptions.
Actually, that's not really trust, is it?

Hey man, MS promised me they would keep my secrets.
Oh they'll keep them, they'll keep them FOREVER.

Pre-ordering something on steam means the money gets taken out right away, correct?
Looking to preorder the Civ 5 expansion since it's a few bucks off..

I had this misconception Pickers was a "pickup artist" simulation.
Then I felt a pang of disappointment when I met this guy:
... yeah, the game is really not too great. My favorite part is pricing but it reminds me way too much of work anyway.
