Damn I don't seem to catch a break on that Brutal Legend. One of these days though.. :D

btw, he who took Garry's mod from my giveaway, please claim it on Steam, so I can give away the next one. For some reason it doesn't let me send myself the code if I have two same games in my inventory.

I've been trying to claim but all I get is a Site Error saying:

"An error was encountered while processing your request:

This gift has already been redeemed."

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to do a test to see if I got it right before this massive key dump. Hopefully someone can get some use out of these keys. Some of these are origin keys, and are marked as such.

I don't do backlog clearing any more, but I was playing random games on steam, and for weeks didn't like any I tried, lately, I like every one I try, so I can't choose which one to play (><)

Talking about sharing. I'll be reluctant to use it, because I don't see kicking my family from my library (if they play something at the time) without arguments of epic proportions. And it's kinda mean thing to do, no?

Alright, I cant seem to send myself the second Garry's Mod for some reason, since it is in my inventory, so we'll do it this way. I sent ModBot a FAKE key. Whoever wins it, I will friend him on Steam and send him the gift through there. :)

Also, thanks a bunch for that Red Alert: Uprising :D

I'm pretty much the only person who games on PC in my house (one of my mates plays Football Manager) but that's about it. So it's not really something I'll be interested in using.

oh, really good tips here, thanks you!!

A lot of people on GAF will suggest you use the STALKER Complete mod, but that changes the gameplay drastically and I would recommend you play on Vanilla with some visual mods first so you can see what STALKER is all about.

The Starter Pack includes:

MODS INCLUDED in SoC's Pack:
- Official patch 1.0004; For non-Steam users. Works best with AMK 1.4.
- Zone Reclamation Project 1.7; More bug-fixes and useful tweaks. (NOTE: new version released on mod's official site!)
- Absolute Nature; Better and higher quality environment textures.
- Absolute Structure; Same as Nature, but for man-made structures.
- Shaders Max; Offers various new shader-effects for SoC.
- Stalker Weather Overhauled 2.2.2; Better lighting and weather, dark nights.

If you want to check out the Starter Pack, here's a Youtube tutorial with download links in the description.

You did this:

- If you won a game from ModBot in the last week, you are not eligible for this giveaway.

Which generally excludes most people in this thread, especially in a week where 4 bundles launched. :D
Click to expand...

I wanted to give other people some chance to get some free games. Looks like it was a stupid move then... Is there any way to redo the giveaway, without the restriction?

You should be able to nuke the keys and re-run it. The instructions are in the OP.

Because of the amount of bundles that are releasing these days using the weekly restriction will generally exclude pretty much everyone who frequent the thread. Daily restriction would probably be better for people who have missed all the fun yesterday.

I think the sharing will have very, very limited usability.

First of all, what this really is supposed to do for "families" is that everyone has their own achievements and savegames, without having to buy the game multiple times.

I see a few situations in which it will be used:

- Actual families: kid can play while parents are at work, without having access to the entire account, weekends will be fun. A slight usability and parental control improvement over something you can do now anyway
- Groups of 2-3 friends in different timezones who want to share libraries (I can't see this working out long-term)
- Groups of people who will organize group-buys with rules on who gets to play when (can't see this working either)
- Groups of people who want to game the system by making lots of separate accounts and sharing those separately

For 2-4, you still need to either give out your account name and password or do some remote desktop shenanigans. Other than that, I do not see a lot of use for it.

This option will be great for me. I don't want to give the entire account to my son where many of the games I have are not suited for him.

Got a MirrorMoon EP key from its devs (Santa Ragione) basically because they like my videogame satire blog and I'm super super super super happy and they're super super super super nice.
Also, we talked about Fotonica years ago with a super positive review, so maybe that was the reason. :D

Hey fantomena, suck it, I get keys because I'm funny and I don't even have to ask for them! :D
jk of course :)

Game is weird as hell, no explanation, no description of what does what, no tooltips, no nothing. You're there, all alone, in an extremely beautiful environment and you just have to explore, try everything and eventually find out what to do.

As the very purpose of the game is the pure awe of discovery, I think that this game just shouldn't be described, really.

Just: you are in a spaceship, you can go to hundreds (thousands? who knows?) of planets, you can land on those planets, you can explore it, you can solve some not-that-mindbending puzzles, and if you're the first (compared to other player online) to solve it something happens, if not you just have seen something really beautiful.

I honestly don't think this is a game for everyone.
It has a Proteus flavour but with a slightly deeper gameplay and IMO with way better aesthetics. Just look at those astounding screenshots!!

If you like to explore for the sake of exploration, this is a pretty good game.
If not, just go back blasting nazis in WW2 or something. :D


In any case, if you happen to be stuck at the spaceship console - and I was, my god, for like 40 minutes - please don't just alt+tab to search for a guide (on Steam ATM there is only a guide and it actually explain what those buttons do), because when you'll eventually figure out everything it makes you feel like the king of the universe or something.


PS: cards seem to sell at super high prices (like > 0.40€), but they're really beautiful and I don't know if I really want to sell them, so just in case I put them way above min price because they really deserve to be paid a lot. :D

Valve made it so F2P games that you have purchased items in always show up in your library now, correct?

By my understanding you can't purchase DLC, but you can earn in-game content. So someone should be able to purchase content through the game if it is F2P.

WHO OWNS AND CAN ACCESS THE DLC AND IN-GAME CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH A BORROWED TITLE?
A borrower will have access to the lender’s DLC, but borrowers may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game.
Click to expand...

So, theoretically, could someone lend you a F2P game removed from Steam, like League of Legends. Then purchase something in-game and it is added to your library?

I assume it would be anything that would come up in the DLC tab. So in League's case, since you can't buy something in-game through Steam in some way (unlike other F2P games I've played on Steam), you're still SOL for that.

Ahaha, really?

I thought I was being too hard describing the game, and I even felt a little guilty considering how I got it.

Well good for everyone then! :D

Well Proteus was one of my favourite games of last year, and ever, and 'exploration for the sake of exploration' is pretty much my favourite thing to do in games, so...

I don't know what this means because Proteus didn't have gameplay.

Lack of gameplay is gameplay

Oh no, I'll use it with my friends, and take a sadistic pleasure in kicking them out whenever I feel like playing something.

Hopefully it'll be in the middle of a really long section and right before they hit a checkpoint, so they have to replay it later (I'm a bad person, I know).

haven't thought about this, it seems to be only option that makes sense. You don't have to kick anybody, you just play at different times. Then again, there are weekends, and OMG moments, when you play a game half of the night, because you can't stop. So yes, not really works.
I don't think letting any kid to have access to full library is good idea. Too many games not suited for kids.
