I know AMD does that, but nVidia has done this for years?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Yes. I got Arkham Asylum and Arkham City through codes sold with higher end nvidia cards.
Yeah. I got Assassins Creed 1 with my 9600GT many many years ago.
There's a software suspend that lets you pause the game to open a rudimentary browser (to search a hint, maybe), besides the DS-like hardware suspend.

So like bringing up the Steam's ingame overlay?

Tried it just now and if you press the Home button while a game is running you're back to the main menu and can for example start the browser while the game stays in the background.

Then the promotion wasn't world wide, only AMD give away games here(don't know about Arkham Origins).
Yes, but you don't want to use that shitty browser lol.
Yes, but the browser is so terrible though. I think it'd only be useful to kids without a smartphone or computer.

The 3ds browser is better? Or literally any console browser for that matter?

Yup, They have done
Borderlands 2, Metro Last Light, AC3, AC2/1, Batman AC and AO, Planetside 2/ WoT / Warframe free $
It's suppose to be WW, you just need to ask the retailer. Most email the codes. Hell I ordered my 780 a few weeks before the new Batman Promo and they said to contact them for a free key.

I'm not sure if this has been posted here, but there's a pretty awesome looking roguelike on Greenlight at the moment, called Eldritch. It's developed by two brothers who are ex 2K Marin and ex Gearbox.
They describe it as a "first-person action game inspired by roguelikes, immersive sims, and H. P. Lovecraft".
Here's a 20 minute gameplay video.
And here's the Greenlight page.

Nice to see the second area of Amnesia trades the smurf blue filter for a swamp green one. Game itself is quite atmospheric so far, although not much has happened. Interested to see where it goes with the Mexican fever business. Taking a break to go through Gone Home which I just grabbed.

You should have known that, how come you trusted him?

Jeez, what happened? In any case, sorry! I try to stick to gaf sellers or people I know to avoid potential issues or at the least have the feeling of a safety net.
Edit: Saw the post you made above that one. Not your highest moment it seems.
Ah cmon man, you went and traded :/

Im assuming he was gifted SR4 for the Marajuana Icon but SR4 is region locked so he can't use it. Just my guess.

Add me on steam to talk or PM, there are various ways we can deal with it. Assuming its all in the chat log we can get your games back.
If you PM me his name I can try and deal with it myself. Or atleast create a fake trade to see if he tries to scam me to help get a steam trade ban.
You sure grief? I gave Toma my second key and he was playing the game.So the Incognita pre-order only has one key for alpha/beta access and one key only for the released game.
I wonder why they did that. With Don't Starve, both keys were active for the beta.
Sorry Cheddaz

Im guessing they didn't want people to go hald and half?
But that seems odd since they've done it before.
Also sucks to hear it Cheddaz happens to the best of us.
Sorry to hear that man, hope you'll get it sort out.
In any case I think SR4 steam keys will be popping up pretty cheap soon since it's now one of the bundle games for AMD GPU.
Did someone call me? If you're thinking about getting them, you're doing it wrong already. F.E.A.R. is one of my favorite games of all time, and though some people found it boring (there are like only 3 different locations, and not much variety in the enemy department), to me it's a masterpiece. Amazing AI, fantastic level design, best shooting mechanics ever, cool-as-fuck slow-mo, very interesting plot and great graphics (I still think it holds up perfectly well).Thanks
The expansions are great too, and the sequel is excellent. Sadly they never made a third game, but maybe that's for the best.

Already running for around 25-30 dollars on ebay.
Value wise the best deal would be grabbing SR4,DMC, and Far Cry 3 (Though I think it's Uplay) because my blood dragon was.
That's actually how he tricked me

Im guessing he gave you a bundle code and it wasnt the gold tier?
Going by the VG247 article on the Alpha. I'm assuming they confirmed this statement.
Then I reread the fine print on Klein's website.
Seems verified by their fine print, I hope in reality this isn't the case though.
Did both of your copies activate on Steam? Are they both playable?
I'm hoping your experience differs from what Klei have said and what VG246 have reported.
Ah, the old steam key scam. And are you sure it's really the good rep trader? There's a few impersonator scammer out there.
If you have the time and screenshots to prove it report the scammer to steamrep.com, won't get you your :weed: back but at least he/she will be mark as a scammer on that site.
None, because I won't get GTA 5 until it's $5 or so (and on PC, of course). I'm as unexcited (is that a word?) for this one as I was excited for GTA IV.
On another note, I'm interested in getting Tomb Raider from the Amazon Squeenix bundle. I'm willing to pay up to $7 for it (including Paypal fees, which wil probably make you get a little over $6). If anyone's interested, please PM me so we can discuss who'll be buying it and stuff.

Hope the Amazon Sqaure Enix bundle lowers the price of some of the Tomb Raider card.
Only need 2 more and don't want to pay more than 22 cents each

Maybe they switched it because too many people were abusing the 2-for-17$ thing?

People have ruined the actual trading system as well?
How can they do that? Or is it a case of games being region locked or something?
I've been trading lately for keys, so I don't want to get screwed over.

Just saw this on Facebook, posted by GOG.
Your move Valve.
Your move Valve.
I messaged Toma and asked if was able to redeem the key. All I sent him was the Humble link and not long after he posted quick impressions in the September indie thread.

I've had 2 games revoked months after I got them due to credit card chargebacks. One was Black ops 2, which I want to say I got in August or September and didn't get revoked until it released, losing me all the pre order stuff including WaW... If your trading for keys aslong as you aren't going first you are fine, assuming they aren't region locked

Unfortunately the community provided no screenshots for Night Dive to appropriate as their own when they put the games on Steam.

Meant to rephrase that. I meant I've been trading keys for games. It's how I grabbed Metro and Resident Evil Revelations. Looks like i'll need to be on my toes now. But thanks for the heads up.

You should be fine, from what I understand the entire trade will be reversed in that situation, meaning you lose the game but you also get the keys back.

TF2 keys for games? Yea keep an eye out, 100% of the time if they are region locked they will say in the description or title. Some games can be region locked like Batman Arkham Origins which just has a RU tag in your library but most aren't like this. Some games can also be region locked AFTER going on the store. My seller bought 10 Castlevanias, All region free, we sell all of them and are just about to buy new ones when we realize they have region locked it due to high RU/BR sales. So watch out, sometimes people won't know, having traded a few before you come along, buy you a copy then boom, its been region locked. Aslong as you have the game in your inventory or library you are fine.
What isn't safe though is things you cannot prove to steam. For example I started trading when I got a bunch of BF3 keys cheap at the local shop (5$) a piece a week after release, store was closing and I still had an employee discount . Bought a bunch. I trade one, user says it works, go on for a week, game he gave me ( Mount and blade ) is no longer in my inventory, turns out he convinced steam it never worked. I had no way to disprove it, because he said I revoked it a few days later.
If the game gets revoked steam will not automatically give you a refund, you must first find out its been revoked and speak to steam. The game must have been through a trade window with the game that was revoked or within a reasonable time frame aswell

Interesting.
Ok will definitely keep an eye out then. Usually I hop into this thread first to check if it's region locked first before grabbing anything. Thanks for the clarified info, the more I know the better I can be at finding possible scams.
