I actually had them stopping for a while in McPixel, hope I can resume my Card Dropping today.
I really don't get this game to be honest.
As someone who love The Last of Us it can be a great game/snack indeed fellow GAFfer. Let's hope for a sale on it!
That's quite likely, actually. It was 66% off ($5.09) a few months ago, so it's due for the big 7-5.

Why so excited about this game?
Free 10 day trials with the cataclysm and mop's i was given. I wont resub.
It's certainly not for everyone.
It's billed as a puzzle game, but to me plays more like a series of coding challenges in a custom programming language.
I found it absolutely wonderful myself, looking to pick up Corgi DLC on sale (have it on GOG already, but the game is well worth the double dipping).
I picked it up when it released on 360. Loved it. It's one of my favorite games of this gen. I just want to see how it looks and runs on PC, and do a playthrough on a higher difficulty.
I'm assuming it will. It was less than $4 in a couple sales last month, but those versions came with Tages. I'd like to just have it through Steam.
You get to use a bow.

If you guys actually played the games instead of idling it wouldn't take long to drop cards.
There's really nothing to "get", you just gotta embrace the weird. For what it's worth though between the Extras/Free dlc, there's a lot of content though. All in all it took me around 4 hours to actually get all my cards (half of which I spent afk getting food :\), I just wish it had achievements.
May I ask what a higher difficulty means in this game fellow GAFfer? Even less items in the world, perhaps?
My friend finished on the PS3 and he keeps telling me how great it is. Like, pointing a gun to a guy (but with no bullets) and the enemy backing off.
All I can say is I make a lot of stuff exploding. All I touch explodes. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing.
Idunno man, McPixel isn't exactly the kind of game you can play for an extended period of time...

I have a McPixel code and it has cards.
I want the cards but don't want the game on my account.

It took forever for my McPixel cards to drop. Those 7 plus 3 from DoD adds another 10 to my "never ever getting a foil" collection.

My wishlist is currently 17 games, but the majority are PC versions of games I own for my 360, and I want to get rid of.
Stuff like Crysis 2, Dishonored and the AC series. Stuff I don't really want to pay more than 5 for, really.
The only games on my wishlist I haven't played are Just Cause II, Metro: Last Light, BioShock Infinite, Borderlands I and II, and Dead Space II.

Offtopic but I'm curious: what's with all the black Ryan ribbons?
What would be the estimated reduction of Metro: Last Light?

Ah, thanks. Sorry to hear that. (Obviously not a Giantbomb regular).

Can someone check that the integrated graphics in my Asus X401A1 is Intel HD Graphics 2000? Or that it's a different kind?
I checked the dxdiag page on my laptop and it only says Intel HD Graphics, no number. I've been scouring the web and can't find any good info about what exact graphics I have. The driver date is 3/8/2013 if that helps
If you need the info to search, my specs are Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, DirectX 11, Pentium B970 2.3 GHz, 4096MB Ram

Less items, especially retries. A retry lets you restart from your last checkpoint, so if you don't have one you have to load up your last save. You can also take damage while you're struggling with an enemy, whereas in normal they can't hurt you while you're in the animation.
It's pretty common to have to bluff your way through confrontations. When you're faced with three enemies and you only have a single bullet, it turns into a bit of a puzzle. You have to prioritize your targets and rely on intimidation. It's not a game where you can just blast through every enemy you come across. Since you rarely have more than two or three bullets, it's not an option.
It's a game I'd recommend to anyone who likes The Road or wishes Uncharted or Tomb Raider had deeper climbing mechanics.
Go to the tech forums. And buy an entirely new computer.

Where do I find the ModBot instructions, pretty please?

Working on that. Any forums that you'd recommend?
Amazon reduced it to $35 as a Daily a few days ago, so I'd expect it to be 33% off at the least ($33.50) or 50% off at the most ($25) .

And hopefully a pricing error at 90%.

Perfect, thanks
Is it linked in the OP? It should be.
Stump doesn't want it to be cos it's still in beta. I think it's going to be in the Summer Sale OP though

Stump said to leave ModBot out of the OP for now, until it's no longer in "open beta" and the kinks are ironed out.
Edit: Bah.

Exactly. And if not, I'm willing to wait. It took me 5 years to get Metro 2033 for free.
Hm, then I'll have to wait.

That's some dedication, right there
History suggests that it'll be half off for the duration of the sale.
Can i ask why you always say "fellow gaffer" in your posts? And why wouldnt it be "fellow gafer" with one f?

"gafer" looks and sounds odd, imho

Where are you located? I have an Alienware M17x R2 laptop that I don't use anymore that I needs to be sold.
I've bought parts and stuff off notebookreview.com and http://www.techinferno.com/ before. Both great places.
They mostly have advice for desktops
What's the full model number? Should look like this: Asus X401A-RBL4
It looks fine when you capitalise "GAF" (I always write "GAFer" myself).
Good enough for me, stump recommended it, so it's probably worth €10. (Though I will of course wait to see if it's a daily, don't worry, I know the rules at this point
