I totally did a double take when I saw this banner and thought I was seeing GladOS's Anger Core.

Welcome to the slippery slope.
Whaaaaat. He's like the cheerleader from Heroes or something, just grab his arm and the breaks are good as new (plus instant skin healing from pulling out the branches that magically appeared in your limbs).

You can buy early access to the beta plus some items here: http://www.dota2.com/store/itemdetails/57939587?appid=570
Or wait for an invite. It's still not out of beta.

You can buy access but it was pretty easy to get an invite from someone. This was before they put up invites in the store for 40 bucks (plus some items) so I wouldn't be surprised if the price shot up for the next round of free invites.

Thanks for the information.
I already have the BETA. I just thought it was out now for everyone

Oh and spend a buck and go buy the humble bundle. Some good shit in there.
Yes. And if you do that, I might have something for you.

The Humble Bundle is getting Lone Survivor
Upping my pledge then. I already own everything else but I thought I might tip just for the hell of it.

Bought. I'll post my unwanted keys shortly.
Edit: Quote for a Limbo/Amnesia/Sword & Sworcery/Psychonauts key.

I really regret buying that on launch now, only played for like an hour and bought this bundle anyway
Most games support 16:10. Even if it's not you can just have your graphics card display it in 16:9 with black bars. I have been using a 16:10 monitor for years now and have never really had problems with it.

Dammit, bought Far Cry Complete even though I'm not all that excited about playing them. Just couldn't resist that deal. Damn you, Steam, I'll never ever get through my backlog!

Thanks to Glaurungr for the Dungeons of Dredmor Key!!!!!!!~~~
Ridge Racer is supposed to have really unforgiving AI later on right? Or at least that's what I recall hearing.
That really bugs me about a lot of arcade racers -- the rubberband AI. It was ridiculous in the NFS games where you'd be far ahead of the pack, and you'd look down at the minimap and see the AI cars seemingly teleporting through buildings, moving in a as-the-crow-flies straight line across the map to magically catch up to you. It was also really bad in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in GRID.

Nice, looks like they're including Napoleonic Wars in this, I'll wait until it's Mount & Blade day and grab it.
Wow, King Arthur II for £3.75, very good price.
The collection with King Arthur 1 and its DLC is £11-something. Is there a reason to get this, or should I save the money and just get II?
Also, The Darkness II is £9.99 at Gamefly.

I highly recommend Crusader Kings II if it has a daily. Typically the Paradox strategy games I've played (HoI, EUIII) were too dense and difficult, but CKII is much more approachable while still maintaining a challenge. I'll probably pick up Napoleonic Wars when M&B day comes around.
Grabbed Bastion. Thanks a lot man.

I should really stop buying games on Steam at launch. I paid full price for Unbounded barely 2 months ago.

I hope Warlock gets a daily. It looks interesting.

i thought it was a bundle for $5, but had i taken 2 seconds to realize i could've just bought FC2 for $2.50 i would have.
whatever, i'll definitely give them both a few hours of my time before FC3 (which i'm psyched for).
fucking steam.

Cool, I paid 1o bucks. And Now I have some extra keys, will post them in the GAF-only steamgifts thread today!
This was my first indie bundle purchase, and certainly the best ever! They have won me over for sure in the future.
Never heard of that. Could you post the link please?
I have CK2 key that I'll sell for $9 if anyone is interested.

I bought Ridge Racer Unbounded at launch and have played it for five or six hours. It's not a bad game just don't go into it expecting classic Ridge Racer and you'll find a slightly obtuse but pretty fun racer. I say slightly obtuse because it doesn't really explain it's drifting mechanic well (read through the official thread to get some good tips) and you have to drive into shit (walls and other obstacles in the environment) to go faster. My problem is the game starts to wear thin after a few hours because it's nothing but the same recycled elements making up tracks and everything starts to feel same-y after a while. They really missed an opportunity by not including some classic RR vistas, track elements and cars.
The racer A.I. does seem kind of steep and unfair initially but you learn to game it and boost chain through takedowns...err, I mean frags and smashing through key obstacles. Then you'll be ahead of the pack consistently.
Kind of annoying that the DLC isn't on sale too. It would be nice to snag some of those classic RR cars for cheaper.

Its been pretty inactive so far but here it is: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=443039&highlight=steamgifts
Also, Scratch me giving out braid and SMB, when i went to the HumbleIndieBundle to retrieve the keys, they used ONE main key for all 3 of the extra games, and when redeemed, it DOES NOT grant you extra copies....
Sorry, GAF.Abomination

That is normal for HiB one key for the base games, and one key for the BTA games. No extra copy's will be given if you already have the games.Also, Scratch me giving out braid and SMB, when i went to the HumbleIndieBundle to retrieve the keys, they used ONE main key for all 3 of the extra games, and when redeemed, it DOES NOT grant you extra copies....
