Indie devs don't seem to realise there are more months in the year than just August.
Rumours say that the bonuses are following
Red Alert 3 - Uprising
Bulletstorm
Medal of Honor - Airbourne
Dead Space 2
These are all on Steam, too, so they should come with Steam keys.
Really? My apologies then. Had no idea it worked that way. Thought you had to pay above average for the extra content.
Now I just need time to play all these games. Yesterday I managed to try Burnout Paradise but got so disappointed with the open world in the game. Why do companies do this? EA specially. What is the need for an open world in a racing game? And most of the times it's just a pathetic attempt of an open world.
I miss the days of Need for Speed: Underground or Burnout 3 where you just had to click a menu and you were right in the action. Imo, that's how every racing game should be. Open worlds just cut the pace. I already have plenty of boring driving in my daily routine, thank you.

So how can I get membership into GAF's steam group??
Link us to your steamcommunity page and someone will eventually (right away) invite you.
I guess Dead Space 2 makes sense. Bulletstorm sounds too good to be true. Fingers crossed!

I personally am hoping for Syndicate, probably a minority view.
I hope you'll enjoy it, because I really do feel bad about grabbing the key in the last giveaway.
Well I'm fairly certain all the headphones in that price range have clear directional audio. However, not all of them have significant bass. Bass makes audio a little more exciting. A rocket launcher exploding near you doesn't have quite the same impact when your headphones don't have any bass.

I already own bulletstorm and DS2. How did Airbourne turn out?

Sorry for the late reply but I'm afraid I can't tell you now as I told Steam to ignore the request so it's not showing up any longer. I want to say it was something like Terranigma or something but I've slept since so your guess is as good as mine.
*sadface* I've been playing it recently and have been having a blast. Oh well, one man's meat and all that. Oh don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things that I would criticise the game over but it hasn't stopped me really enjoying it. I enjoyed the DLC perhaps even more and so far feel that way about AW's A Nightmare.
To be fair, these rumors are just based on package updates in the steam database and given how they're distributed as individual keys, they may not have much relevance.
Thank you ever so much. <3

Oooo yeahhhhh
updated broadband speeds!
Quite a jump from my last speedtest.
oh please....not this again....
This I can do.
Borderlands 2 : 75 hours
Borderlands 2 with
145
Huh, never heard of that ISP, though that's pretty much exactly my speeds with UPC.
Gmod with a modest 76 hours
Oh and I'd really appreciate an invite to the GAF group
I can't do it either.
That would work

Considering I was getting just under a mb download a week ago, this is a massive jump. Took under 10 mins to download DS 3.
Ive never heard of the ISP either, I didnt organise the upgrade, but hey, fast broadband!
Fútbol manager 2012: ~100 hours
And because of that, ill never buy a football manager game again. Genuinely became addicted to it.
The bug has been around since the Steam Community beta. I figured it'd be fixed within a week or so, but here we are, some three months later.
CS:S, 1069 hours. I stopped playing online regularly about 2.5 years ago, though.
Maxwood
Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Civilization V -
125 Hours

They usually go up a week after the bundle does.
TF2 with 216 hours. The runners-up are Skyrim with 82 hours and New Vegas with 68.

TF2 with 4,680 hrs on record.
Damn son
Dark Souls / 103 hours. Well, technically it's Day of Defeat: Source with 140, but 90% of that time it was someone else playing from my account.

Is anyone interested in a Hammerwatch 4 pack? I'm about to pull the trigger and buy it from the developer's site. PM me if you want in, $5 for a key.
I'm closing in on 1000 hours of Dota 2. Damn, is that game addictive.
Dota 2, 726h. D:
It's set as my Steam Community URL.
I had a nasty habit of growing bored of my names within a matter of weeks and changing them, so one day I told myself I'd stick with the first thing that popped into my head and I've managed to remain true to my word since.Edit: Well, that excludes the dumb names I come with when one of my mates and I get together and get drunk while playing GunGame.

Well I play since beta pretty regularly. I also play competitively. But yeah, that number... disturbs me.
I wish I could forget about it. Guess I need a lobotomy, or get totally wasted and play it in that state, so I don't remember reading it.
Curiosity killed the cat and spoiled the game.
