have fun

Just quote this message and paste the quote in the thread:

I am giving away 2 Steam keys. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line below that corresponds to the key you want (if you include more than one game, you will be blocked from entering).

Rules for this Giveaway:
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two:

Serious Sam HD The Second Encounter -- MB-9D081305DB033F60 - Taken by Franck Ribery
Serious Sam HD The First Encounter -- MB-0CA97E7DA9FCB1CA - Taken by TheSeks

I believe Spawn/Modbot messed up with the giveaway creation - this was the PM I received:

"The key for Sam & Max is The Devil's Playhouse, -- Make sure you take the time to thank Spawn "

I'm guessing he put a bunch of commas in the game name and then used a weird or no separate between game name and keys. ModBot is pretty flexible about picking up keys separated by commas, |, spaces, on separate lines, etc but the best syntax to use, particularly with long, weird-ass name is:
Game Name Goes Here - Key-Goes-Here
Game Name 2 Goes Here - Key-Goes-Here

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and A Box Of Oatmeal (DLC Included) - ABRA-CADA-BRA!

 

[DexterPepper]

Insult to the injury that is the game being more than three times the price of the iOS version.

I suppose if I had done even just a little research beforehand, I would have known. Steam discussions are filled with threads about it.

From one of them:

List of Paradox games with in game shops not mentioned on store page when you buy them

Leviathan Warships
Game of Dwarves
War of the Roses
Showdown Effect
Starvoid
Dungeonland
Cities in Motion 2
Knights of Pen and Paper

 

[TheSeks]

Enjoy! <3 you, SteamGAF!

Thanks. Now I just need to poach SS1 to play both of them in December. >_>

Well, damn that was fast:

have fun

Thanks. Now I'm done with giveaway poaching while I clear my Steam backlog to get to these.

Undoubtedly the superior version of Deus Ex.
The oatmeal DLC was pretty top notch.

 

[fantomena]

Seems like Steam is more popular than ever. Before Steam had an average of 4-5 million users logged on in a time like this. Now over 6 millions are logged on.

Any sign of Hot Wheels: World's Best Driver in the Steam registry ?

Any sign of Hot Wheels: World's Best Driver in the Steam registry ?

Holy crap, I never heard about this. I love the old Hot Wheels games. Hope it's good and we see it on Steam.

Edit: There's a Steam logo on the game's website. Hell yeah.

Launch is this week, but no sign of a PC release this week.

Any suggestions for an Every Extend like game? I need something that is not for quick twitch reactions, but still high score based and plenty of explosions once figured out.

Really? I found it kind of lumpy. Boss battles were better though.

Nice.
As for something like Every Extend none comes to mind on steam.
Everything i'm thinking of is pretty twitchy but im sure there's something. I'll take another gander.

Steam Family Sharing OT- a thread for people who want to share or request games to play.

Steam Family Sharing allows you share games from your steam account with other users. This thread is for letting gaffers share their games.
The Beta is open to the first 1000 users during mid September, but more invites are coming soon. For more info click here.

Spreadsheet of all Gaffers who want to share or want to play a game.
​

Rules:

- Please share as much as you request in the spreadsheet, It's unfair if others just leech games while not letting others play their games.
- Do not share games which can cause a VAC BAN.
- For more information read the FAQ at the bottom of the page.

Thanks. It can be a twitchy game if nothing else comes up,but one of my favourite parts about Every Extend was learning when it wait it out, avoiding sections, and then setting up the best chain blasts. So if there is anything like that, even if it's just some of the time, I would still appreciate any ideas.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw the example game.

Steam Family Sharing OT- a thread for people who want to share or request games to play.

Isn't the sharing limited to 10 members of the family? In this case, I would rather make some deals with a few of my friends and a few of the GAFfers in the Steam thread or in the Indie thread.

Moreover, you don't share one game, you share a whole library. So VAC games are necessarily shared. You won't want to share with someone you don't know.

 

[MRORANGE]

Yup.

This won't end well.

Bingo.

Symphony, Geometry Wars, and Waves after I looked seemed to be the best bets.
I haven't personally played them aside from geometry wars but just watching gameplay on youtube gave me a pretty good idea.

 

[Jawmuncher]

The worst thing I realized about sharing with my friends is that i'm the only one who really buys games on steam. Im not greedy but man I don't exactly want to share on a one way street.

 

[NingenJanai]

I feel the same, is why I probably won't share.

 

[zkylon]

hope the sharing thingie works on the assassins creed games, they're never cheap enough for me to buy them

 

[Stallion Free]

Uplay means no.

 

[Deques]

Oh, Knights of Pen and Paper has microtransactions... cool.

It has microtransactions? I shouldn't have bought it then...

 

[Copons]

I understand the feeling, but seeing how Valve implemented it, why do you care? You can always kick your cheap ass friends out of your library whenever you feel like.

 

[zkylon]

Uplay means no.

maybe ubi will be nice and let valve let people borrow their games?

rofl

 

[Nabs]

Is family sharing live already?

 

[Addnan]

hope the sharing thingie works on the assassins creed games, they're never cheap enough for me to buy them

All but AC3 go 75% off during a sale.

 

[morningbus]

Uplay means no.

So, what you're driving towards here is that uPlay means noPlay?

 

[MRORANGE]

Is family sharing live already?

Mid September for first 1000 people -

Spoiler

Valve time.

 

[Martian]

Is it possible to share just a few games? Kind of like lending? Or is it necissarily your entire library

 

[MRORANGE]

Whole library.

 

[Stallion Free]

OnlyUPlay, No1Else.

 

[zkylon]

All but AC3 go 75% off during a sale.

yeah revelaitons has been 75% off before I think but the base price hasn't gone down enough that it's 5 bucks or something. same for ac3.

and 5 bucks is what I value the ac series right now (and I preordered brotherhood so I love that series)

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

Do you guys use steam screenshots at all? I've been having some troubles with it lately. When trying to upload screens, they just come up blank on the gallery, anyone else?

Yes it is periodically glitchy like that for me too but invariably sorts itself out in time.

gamesplanet.com.....legitimate?
They got ARMA3 for a decent price, but I have never dealt with them before.

Yes.

I almost had a heart attack when I saw the example game.

I was surprised it wasn't Bad Rats.

hope the sharing thingie works on the assassins creed games, they're never cheap enough for me to buy them

I picked up the first two for less than £5 in the last sale so ?

 

[zkylon]

OnlyUPlay, No1Else.

lol that's good

 

[paperspace]

Should I sell my whole TF2 inventory?

I kinda like TF2, but I never play it. Hmm.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I understand the feeling, but seeing how Valve implemented it, why do you care? You can always kick your cheap ass friends out of your library whenever you feel like.

That is a good point. I should share with them a bit then take it away.

 

[zkylon]

I've sold mine, never looked back

you'll forget it was even there

That is a good point. I should share with them a bit then take it away.

look at valve destroying your irl relationships

all according to plan

If you don't have anything good it's hardly worth it. It'll be less than a trading card.

It was $5 during the summer sale. That's what I bought it for.

[zkylon]

so hilarious activision keeps on doing these shitty sales

bobby kotick just taunting us

missed it then

hopefully it'll go for 5 again

 

[Tizoc]

Thanks, guess I'm gonna wait for the Steam seal still.

 

[morningbus]

OnlyUPlay, No1Else.

Co-op - 2play
DLC - uPay
Achievements - uCare?

I picked up the first two for less than £5 in the last sale so ?

There are people here who do 4 packs to save pennies. Nothing is outside the realm of possibility.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Activision is trolling with us. Give us COD4 50%

Spoiler

or more

sale already!

 

[Aaron]

Pretty sure that's the last daily deal for Acti also. Man they just don't want to sell.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I have no idea if they were ever on Steam but I really wish they were.

Unfortunately I don't think they ever were on Steam, Activision have a lot of licensed stuff not on Steam. I would love Ravens recent Wolverine game to be on Steam as well and I don't think that's ever been on it either.

Thank you guys.
