Hah, my English is failing me here. Dog breed?

Is it justified to make a seperate thread for a game giveaway?

I was actually considering a "guess my favourite dog race" contest

Golden Retriever!

Guys, guys. It is, of course, a Groenendael Belgian Shepherd.

 

[Chronoja]

PC gamers are awful. They always talk about being the master race and now here we are talking about canine eugenics.

Disgusting.

Imagine how it will be when Team Meat release Mewgenics.

can't wait until they do.

 

[JBourne]

I just bought BL2 on Amazon. Devilish indeed, GMG.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Yeah, do not post referral links. Even openly doing it via PM is probably not kosher.

Alright, thank you. Ignore my post then, people!

GMG sale looking really good for set one of deals though.

I'd say 4 July. It's Thursday and all coupons are valid until that day.

Those are coupons that you created. Coupons created through badges are only active for one week, so you probably created those on the 27th.

Irrelevant anyways since coupons aren't eligible on discounted items.

I have a coupon that's valid until July 6th so i don't think coupons have any correlation with the summer seal.

Greyhounds;

To answer your second question; It happened before. So yeah, I don't see how it could be a problem.

Guys, please respect the rules in the thread title. We don't want to derail the thread because of Summer Sale speculation.

The best evidence we have right now is July 11th, but that is based on release dates which may or may not be purely circumstantial.

I know I was participating somewhat in the discussion, but lets just leave it at that.

Anyone asks, just quote this post or ignore them.

Not sure how talking about the Steam Summer Sale is derailing the Steam thread. There's not a lot else to talk about. I thought the thread title was a joke.

 

[Wario64]

The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC comes out on Wednesday. I guess that information can be used to guess when the Steam sale is coming?

Listen, this thread is about posting GOG deals and if you don't like it you can walk.

Apologies if this is common knowledge but as I've stated I am new to this whole Steam thing. Amazon has Mount and Blade Warband for $4.99 currently. My initial plan was to wait and snag the bundle on Steam should it go on sale but I am tempted to grab Warband from Amazon for now.

So, the question is: What happens if I own Warband(via this Amazon sale) and then at a later date pick up the bundle from Steam? This is assuming the bundle works out to be cheaper then individually buying the other 3 items. With GOG I noticed they discounted the price of bundles in which I owned games but I don't imagine this is the norm. Would I get a key/giftable copy of Warband or would I just be out of luck and get nothing. Any help is appreciated!

Doesn't sound fun. More like some kind of mental disorder.

The mods requested it and I respect their wishes.

Even if you just look at the last page and a half you see what happens. Random people will come in every few seconds and ask, 'when is the sale?' It can get pretty out of control.

No.

I'll save you the trouble, there is no reason to get anything else but Warband.

Warband is the Original + Improvements + Online components. The original is pointless.

Fire and Sword is like a side quest by a different team. It's not bad, but it's clearly a B effort.

Napoleonic Wars DLC would be worth getting to complete Warband.

I believe you are just out of luck. What you could do is buy it from Amazon and hold onto the key. If it's cheaper on Steam, buy it and try to sell the key. I imagine the profit / amount you would save is minimal though.

More often than not, you won't get another copy.

Is this free if you purchased season 1?

 

[Wario64]

$5, requires season one

Ah cool ok, I got $10 in my steam wallet anyway from selling a bunch of stuff

Thanks everyone!

Especially thanks to you. I was unsure how worthy the other items were so it is good to know sticking with just Warband isn't a bad idea. Much appreciated!

How far do we expect Walking Dead to drop by the way? Missed the Humble Sale so if we can get it to $5 that'd be great... but that'd be 80% off which strikes me as too much to hope for honestly.

I too missed the Humble Sale and am desperate for a good deal on that game!

I don't expect it to be lower than -75%, which would be a damn good price anyway.

Didn't know 400 Days is coming out this Wednesday. Must get more Gabens to buy this bad boy. My heart is ready to be broken into little pieces again!

Spoiler

not

 

[Wok]

Is the DLC story linked to the story of the other episodes from season 1? If not, I don't see the point of a one-episode-long DLC: if TWD had solely consisted of the first episode of the first season, it would not have been praised.

I guess they do it so you have to buy the base game. They could of course just release it as a standalone episode but this way might be more attractive financially? But perhaps it bridges the gap between Season 1 and Season 2?

 

[Windom Earle]

Wow, the PC version of SF4:AE is awesome. Runs so stable and rock solid, also the net code seems better.

Now I just wish my TE stick would work. ;(

What problems are you having with the TE stick? Does it work with other games?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Yeah, the only problem I've had with the game so far was getting GFWL to work. Otherwise, it's a good port.

As I understand, the DLC will consist of mainly self-contained stories but it will still have some connections to the events of S1 and the upcoming S2. I guess you can think of this DLC as a prologue to S2.

Why wouldnt it work? Mine works fine on PC.

There is a great comic about this argument and I can't find it. Maybe someone else will know what I'm referring to and post it.

 

[RionaaM]

It's odd that so far there's only two deals, but they both end July 8th whereas if there was a sale I'd think it would end on thusday or friday.

I think it's because Valve is preparing something special for my birthday.

Believe.

That comic is cool for other situations, but this one is a bit different. If he has a working TE stick there's a good chance we can it up and running.

If its the PS3 stick, you need a special brand of USB controller, the name escapes me right now, but usb pci cards of that brand are cheap.
