"This card is very mysterious. Very, very mysterious. The kind of mysterious card you might want to hold on to."
Holy shit I can't resist that. Not for 89 cents. (mystery foils are trading at over ten bucks though wow)

It has an airplane on it. I wonder what that means?

Nice! Loving the 770 box. I'll have to wait for mine till atleast the 16th of August, 120 backorders in The Neterhlands. :/
But i'm finally getting my "first real" rigg with a temperal card (660) tommorow, yay! Sort off new to PC gaming, played older and "smaller" stuff on the laptop but my six year old desktop wasn't really up to any task. Looked a lot around here since I started waiting for my machine, ordered it the 25th of May. Made the wait even harder, heh.
But i'm derailing, so excited! But I was complimenting your rigg, not hyping up the wait for mine. I'm just happy for you!
and me. :p

Heh, so many Dutchies on GAF :p (<- Belgian)

Namechange? Check. (thanks Stump!) Message from ModBot? Check. Let's try this again:



note 1 - due to the name/pm thingie, I did get an error saying I already entered this, but it should still work. I think.
note 2 - whoever takes this will also receive a Cluck Costume key via PM



Grabbed it, thank you!
 
God I'm so depressed right now, I reset my steam password yesterday and now I can't purchase/sell items on the marketplace. I really wanted to buy some cards to craft badges for mystery cards too. Hell maybe even speculate on the mystery card market a bit. Only going up imo now that the sale has been anounced.

I think it has something to do with The International.

Went to the site and started looking at the screenshots. Looks like an amazing game. I'll bookmark it and see how things develop. Thanks for the link :D

I agree it looks good, but it is an incredibly crowded market, will need to stand out somehow...

I don't like the $30 fee if you want Alpha and Beta, so essentially $50 if you wanted to play today

also their site has been not updated since May

Details on the first Metro: Last Light DLC hitting next week:

Press Release said:
The Faction Pack includes three original single player missions, each casting the player as a different specialist from the warring Factions. Returning to some classic locations from Metro 2033, these missions feature new weapons, the return of a truly terrifying mutant foe, and offer three distinct gameplay challenges…

• As a Special Detachment Sniper of the Red Line, players must infiltrate a heavily guarded Reich Outpost at night,under the cover of a deadly radioactive storm…

• … before defending the Frontline as a Reich ‘Heavy’, armed with some of the most devastating weaponry found in the Metro.

• Lastly, players take the role of a Polis Ranger in training, tasked with exploring the vast Library complex for artifacts and relics. Salvage can be exchanged for ammunition, filters and hazard suits allowing ever deeper exploration into the Library. Rangers are advised to light torches and leave a trail of lights so they can find their way back to the base before their precious oxygen runs out…

Sounds pretty good. I'm still waiting for the game to hit 15$ because I disliked the gunplay/enemy design in the original.

Selling 95% of my soul for a mystery card. Do not ask me what I intend to do with the remaining 5%. J/K. Is there anyway to get this marketplace restriction for resetting my password lifted faster ? I'd try steam support but I'm sure they're going to be slower than the removal of the restriction on the 12th.
 
I'm doing a trade with someone on Reddit
What's the better choice:
- A Steam Key for SMB, Braid, and Lone Survivor
- A key for Closure

(And because I know what's going to happen, consider that I already played through SMB on XBLA and am only interested in Braid and Lone Survivor)

I love puzzle platformers and Closure's light/dark mechanic looks awesome. Is it a good game?

I haven't played Closure, but I can't imagine it's better than SMB/Braid/Lone Survivor
 
Finally got my first badge (Portal 2) and a mystery card.

Also played some HL2 and I didn't remember how much more awesome / tense it is compared to most other shooters these days: puzzle bits slow down 100% action all the time. Shit enemies every shoot shoot shoot run run run get stuck run get health shoot awesome new situation shoot run run.

I remember disliking all the vehicle sections but we will see.
 
i has a question:

It is possible for me to change my Steam Account Name? Not the profile name, I've already done that.

I didn't know there exist people who don't own Portal 2 yet :p

I don't own ANY Valve games. Hah! I wins teh internets!

Cue a million posts saying "lol no u dont".

note 1 - due to the name/pm thingie, I did get an error saying I already entered this, but it should still work. I think.

You've changed man!

[God, I'd forgotten that forum meme :/]

I think you should have asked Stump to change your username to 'ampersand free Divius'.

Catchy no?

It never ceases to amaze me how you European chappies have a better grasp of English than so many of us who has it as their native tongue. You are often fluent in several other languages too! :/

Get the humblebundle key, idle in SMB to get the cards, trade the cards for Closure. Play all the game (optional)

Dunno about Closure but SMB, Braid and Lone Survivor are some of the best indie games ever.

#1 - Even If it was just Braid, it would be worth it.

I'd say the first one definitely. Braid is a really good game, and Lone Survivor is very creepy. I played Closure when it was free for PS Plus and didn't really care for it.

You're just going to have to wait it out. Your only option is Support, but 2-3 days is the norm for a response during quieter periods, so as you say the restriction is likely to expire automatically before your request is actioned.
 
Has anyone given any thought to how the ModBot's no-lurking parameter will work when this thread hits the 20,000 mark?

I'd imagine keys posted in the thread prior to closing will remain active for people with over 5 posts in the closed thread. All posters in the new thread would need to make five posts ?
Ergo you shouldn't do giveaways on the first few pages ?

You're just going to have to wait it out.

So painful, I did not know it would do that if I reset my password. Damn you ubisoft test app and awful memory.

Choice #1.

Braid is worth playing.

To be honest, it's because of all the English movies, videogames and talking on forums like NeoGAF that our English is pretty gewd.

My french, for example, is horrible, despite it being one of the languages we had to learn at school. I had to study hard to pass for that language. 90% or more for English was always a given :p

Closure was one of my favorites last year. SMB-Braid-Lone Survivor is a killer pack tho. If you like puzzle plats that much then Closure is a good choice. But then again there's Braid. hmm

Stump - any thoughts as to preventing people from taking keys for trading/selling purposes (basically by enforcing that the key be redeemed immediately)?

I don't even know how such a measure could be implemented tbh, sort of looking at the person's profile (sounds like a lot of work involving delving into the Steamworks API), or opening up the keys to free-for-all after a certain time period has elapsed.

This is the one notable disadvantage to both this modbot system and the system where you give the key via PM to the first person to quote, compared to just hiding the key in a post.

Yup, it's the exact same for me. Grew up with English movies and games. Should have played them in French, maybe my French wouldn't suck so bad then...
