How will you ever know how long it is if you never play it? The joy from knowing it is in your library will last forever though.

I, uh, well...

I don't expect it will be more than a couple hours long though as it seems to expect players to replay it using other character sets.
It's built so you will need at least three playthroughs to see all areas of the cave.

Well, as long as it's a few hours or so, that's acceptable.
 
I've only been on steam for a week so that was my first free gift but I almost feel guilty myself getting SR3!

I tried to sign up to the steam gifts site before but it says I can't as I need to have spent $100 on my account and I have spent $0. Is the site for US users only? Have spent a fair few British pounds on Steam already but I'm guessing that doesn't count?

Also, any good deals on Hotline Miami knocking round? Still kicking myself for missing it at £3.49 the day I installed Steam :/
It does not matter where you are from. Once you get to an $100 or equivalent in pounds in steam games on your account, you can join.

It works fine for people outside of the US. I'm not sure how or if the currency gets converted to dollars. It's either have ~65 quid worth of games or a hundred quid.

So you better start spending some money mate

I like doing SteamGifts giveaways because is minimizes the lurker effect to the point where I can call out people for winning the game on the thread.

I know that there are people that can't participate in it, since they're not on the group, but I still think it's a better solution.

That's odd then - I picked up Trine, Tropico 4 and Magical Drop V in the sale but it says I have spent nothing :/ I also purchased Batman on GMG and a retail DVD of Dark Souls which I activated on Steam but I'm guessing they don't count towards the total?

I'm gonna wait to see if I'm busy around The Caves release day. If I'm not, I'll go in at 15$.

Good news:

GMG25-XTYYZ-POSL1 gives you 25% off unreleased games ow.ly/gHpys

Too bad I already purchased it two days ago. Oh well.
 
So.... how is Deponia?

It's what I've been asking in my later posts, haha. At this rate I'll just get the bundle, play the game give away some keys and get Cool/Awesome points and come back to report how it is.

Sudden live edit: Well, I bought the bundle! Downloading Deponia. Will have some keys up for grabs later on.

You can never be sure with Capcom. Remember Me and Resident Evil 6 both look like 5-10$ Amazon pickups.

This is Capcom so it's all a test and if you wait till those games are 5-10$ on Amazon that will be considered a failure and they will find something worse than GFWL to test us with next.

Welcome to the machine! I'm not taking anything, but want to thank you anyway for the giveaways.

Every time I read about someone having to wait for months to be approved, I feel happy I only had to wait 2 days xD

UE3 will still have its place. I'm sure Star Wars 1313 will run just fine. :p

Heh, well I say current laptop because I'm sure in the future I'll get a new gaming pc and won't have to worry anyway, but my laptop runs everything now pretty great anyway, so I'd like that to last for a bit longer. lol

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed $26.99

If GMG match the price and it can stack with the new coupon it might be my first pre-order game this year.

FINALLY!! And at 29.99 too. Between This and Anarchy Reigns, I'm loving this new Sega, in terms of pricing sense.

Lol. Honestly, I'm hoping a lot of next-gen titles use UE3, just because it is so proven, and still puts out visuals like 1313 and Samiritan when not having to take this gen of consoles into consideration.

I wonder if Sonic Racing Transformed will have pre-order TF2 hats items?

Well I installed Jamestown and gonna install Analogue soon.
Won't install any big games that are more than 200 MB til I get my new lappy by March/Feb. @_@.

That's a nice price, especially when you consider the potential GMG coupon and future 4-pack. $22.50 sounds perfect.

I wonder if 1/31/2013 is a real date or just placeholder. I guess we'll find out soon.

It's definitely a possibility. I think there are TF2 characters in game.

You have about 10 or so months left at best before the Nextbox and/or PS4 arrive, so best start saving now. ;)

Pity this pricing sense doesn't apply to Australia. :(

tHE DATe is prob. a placeholder and yes
Pyro, Heavy and Spy are in the game as one 'character', each driving/piloting a different vehicle

Preordered The Cave from GMG. I'm not really that happy about paying in advance for stuff (which is why I never preorder digital games) but it was kinda cheap (8.95€ after voucher and trading 2 of their free games) and I love Ron Gilbert's games.

I hope you guys are ready to defend more towers. This should be out in a bit ($8.99): http://store.steampowered.com/app/215710

Why don't you just buy it off of Greenmangaming or Gamersgate? I don't live in the US but managed to get The Cave from GMG for only $15.

I fully intend to enlist the help of a GAFer so as to purchase the game outside of Steam AU, it's just that Sega's love affair with the Aussie Tax is patently ridiculous. I went through Sega's catalogue the other day -- of its ~100 titles, only six are tax-free. Then there's the fact Sega-published DLC is Aussie Taxed, in some cases to the order of only a single dollar.

ow ok, i just read on the steam page anyone could get me in. anyway

Anybody who is in the group can, but they need to know who they're inviting. ;)

Ouch, I have been thinking about Gifting The Cave at least to you, but sadly I've got my own money managing I gotta do for the next few months up til the Summer Sale =_=.

That's fine, I understand. I all but ignored the Autumn Sale and only managed to partake in the arse end of the Winter Sale. Curse you, Christmas!

Oh and I installed and played a bit of Jamestown. Normal is do-able for me, but I sadly do not like how the mouse controls very much, the movement of the mouse doesn't let you move the vehicle itself it seems, it felt like I was dragging it.

Yeah the ship is not glued to your mouse, it has its own momentum.

Btw, later levels require you to play previous levels on higher and higher difficulties in order to unlock them.
