Really? I've had my adaptor for years, since it's been released, and haven't had issues with it. I guess I was just lucky.

Where's my Groupees steam key
I've had one for years and found out they are very picky with your system's power output. Mine worked great for a year, seemed to die for another, and then worked great with another system with a better PSU. When it works, it works wonderfully.
I hope they will have the steam keys same time as the game is released

I'd just like most of the greenlit games to be ready for release in a timely manner for a change. So far it's only 28 released and 66 total greenlit, many not even close to being finished. I guess it shows what people want.
New Vegas is incredible, it improves upon every aspect of Fallout 3 and it is much more akin to the original Fallout games in terms of atmosphere, depth and humour, which is not surprising since Obsidian are behind it. I've put 90+ hours into it (base game + a couple of expansions).
I am going to bed so I don't feel like listing the Steam keys out, but GameStop is having a sale on quite a few titles (mostly limited to NA and/or only 50% off though). Games which come with Steam keys should say "Protection: Steamworks" in the description. A few:

Looking through the list, most of these have been cheaper on Steam I think, except for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
Awesome month indeed 8)

Damn, the Skyrim and Xcom DLC are tempting, but I uninstalled both games recently so I might as well just wait for the summer sale.
I can't buy the Rage DLC due to the stupid regional restrictions. One would think that with DD there wouldn't be such a thing, but it's PAL/NTSC all over again. Fuck.
Fall was ~$16-20 on Steam before. Some DLC here has not been on sale on Steam yet, some (and games) are the same price as the lowest history on Steam. But yeah, mostly only 50% discounts--nothing super.

Activision really needs to lower the MSRP on Tranformers: Fall of Cybertron. 60$ as a starting price before discount like a year after the game is released is pretty ridiculous considering it's not one of their ridiculously good selling franchises.

hah, I didn't even check if I could buy them.
I finished Hotline Miami and dropped HellNaw Yeah! for good so I need a new game I can play in short bursts. Need to scour my library.
I can't

$49.99 for Australians. Best country. Activision knows how to consistently look after us.

Oh no, they caught on to my sneaky VPN-shenanigans, something about customer service verifiying and 1 business day. Why don't you like my money?

That sounds like the Impulse I remember.

Killing the Impulse to buy.
Happened to me last week with Orange Box, but the payment cleared after an hour or so
You know what else Acti needs to do? Put TimeShift on sale!

That's a good one and according to howlongtobeat it isn't too long either. Thanks for the suggestion.
Oh yeah.

tbh with fez and papo & yo around the corner I'm probably not even gonna buy it, but I kinda feel bad for not playing it
Super House of Dead Ninjas would be a great pick. It's a mix between Super Meat Boy and early 2D Ninja Gaiden games.
I finished the campaign in one sitting, but I recommend that you try out the Challenge Tower once you have finished the campaign - there is a lot of fun to be had.

Did you receive an order confirmation immediately? Because I didn't and it's not in my order history so I'm wondering if it got through in the first place. Also did you use a real address or a fake one from the US (me=real, only changed country and googled some phone number)?

Shame on you for not supporting your bros. I personally try to buy every game made by developers in America.
I actually used my real address, and it worked anyway. Could be 'coz it said that Sweden was an accepted country.
they actually came to argentina for a conference and asked who had bought the game and I was the only one
but it's already soothing to know that jasec is supporting devs from everywhere for all of us.
it's kinda comforting to know that if I ever get one of my games on steam I'll at least have 1 costumer. a costumer that'll never play the damn thing but still

I'm an Equal-Opportunity Supporter. The price just has to be right.

I figure if I just price my game at 60$ it will look cheap to Jasec since games are usually 100-150$ MSRP down there and he will buy it.

I love the flash version but totally missed the pre-order price so now I'm waiting for a sale
I'd love to support Swiss developers but ehh...
Add pre-order hats or a Digital Deluxe Edition and you'll have my money!
ah, I was counting on just wooing you with hatsI'm an Equal-Opportunity Supporter. The price just has to be right.
lol
Oh, yeah, hats and DDEs are my kryptonite. I'm actually a little glad that Sega got rid of the CoH2 DDE since the inclusion of the original games greatly inflated its price.
Yup. I want to play that game, dammit.
On the other hand, I don't think it's too wise to buy DLC for a game I haven't even started yet. But as I've heard that it segues with the main game, I'd rather play it all together from the start.
That sucks, I thought the game was rightfully named.
That's why we can't have nice things, thanks for ruining it for everybody
Just kidding! Fucking regional restrictions.

Hurry, everyone vote it up the next two days!
I'd also put a Prima guide and soundtrack edition there just for you. And a censored German version too, so you can have another (useless) entry on your library.
