I figured it was about time I dipped my toes in the Steam trading waters. I found offers of Rayman Legends for 8 TF2 keys (~$17), so I though it'd be a good introductory point. (I had to add USD$25 to my Wallet to get the keys, but that's money I'd spend sooner rather than later, anyway.)

Nice giveaway :) But why would someone offer a $40 game for keys worth $17? Is this common or what o_O

The bloke's profile didn't mention a location, but I assume it's an Eastern Euro copy (don't worry, there are no region-specific subs).

Games are often >%50 cheaper in russia. If russians sell it for 8 keys they still make a little profit. That doesn't always work since bigger releases often have russia specific versions that are region locked.

Installing my old retail PC copy of Stranglehold (i have a soft spot for it and replay it from time to time). I keep forgetting how it's one of the few games that I either need to keep cd in the drive or use a NO CD crack for. It never had a digital release did it ?

Oh fuck. I forgot that I already have Rayman Origins on Steam. What do I do if I win? Give it away again?

Edit: I did not win, good.

Not as far as I can tell, and I assume it's EOL too as Amazon's listings are fulfilled via affiliates.

I am putting this here because I have to post about it somewhere. I had a dream that I made a video game. It was a role-playing adventure card/board game.

You create a character like an oldschool WRPG, roll stats, pick traits, customize appearance. The character is either a pickle or other fruits or vegetables. The plot is that you're running for election in the fruit/veggie kingdom.

The game is laid out like a board game--the whole fruit/veggie kingdom is divided into different spaces. Each turn you move to a space, like Arkham Horror really, and draw a card from the deck associated with that space. The card triggers an event.

Events play out I guess primarily like dialogue challenges from old WRPGs or adventure games. Say you're caught having an affair. You'll get many dialogue options, like early Fallout or Planescape or whatever, to respond to the allegations. And depending on your Charisma/Intelligence, you might have more or fewer options. And I'm picturing that visually the events would be expressed in large expressive 2D art panels, sort of like dialogue segments in Master of Orion or Civilization or early Fallout.

And I also pictured a stats page which would break down your support across the kingdom, like that Tomato Labourers are 85% likely to vote for you but you're losing support among Eggplants and women over 65. Species of fruits/vegetables could be an allegory for race relations.

Needs to be cross posted into this thread.

as long as Obsidian writes the dialogue.

JaseC, the Scorsese profile pic you are using is very good and makes Sorcsese look really cute. The other 2-3 pics of Scorsese you were using before this one made her look so damn ugly that i almost puked on the keyboard every damn time I looked at it.
