Wait, how didyou get Portal?

Swapper please
Click to expand...

No clue. Steam just told me a got 3 items in my inventory. The new items were copies of Portal and Portal 2 (which I already own), and the coupon. I went to look at the details and Steam crashed.

I have no clue why, or what's even there, at least until Steam starts working for me again.

EDIT: Got back into Steam, definitely got Portal and Portal 2. I'll have to give them away at some point, but literally every friend on my Steam list has both games already (is there anyone in the world without Portal or Portal 2 yet?)

Oh nice, just saw my PM. Thanks for The Swapper Grief! Now I have all of the Humble Bundle games and don't need to buy it, until the bonus is something great and then I buy the bundle anyway only to give away the rest of the games.


Your move, Humble.

An update, it seems:

We have several small changes today around trade offers, emoticons, and profile backgrounds:
You can once again include a note with your trade offer, and these will display in a new style.
Emoticons are now supported in profile descriptions and showcases.
Emoticons are also supported in group announcements
The emoticon list is now sorted by game name, then by emoticon name.
Emoticon item descriptions in inventory, trade, and market will now show a preview of the small size emoticon.
Profile background item descriptions in inventory, trade, and market now have a link to preview the background full-size.

Came here to see info about the random coupons and I see I'm not the only one. Got two -25% for Broken Age(Loyalty, kinda makes sense) and one -30% for Aqua Kitty (I have no clue why I got this one).

I got 75% off Shadow Warrior, 30% off Aqua Kitty, and 5 copies of the Double Fine coupon.

I do not understand how to get my games from the 'Moon Landing' Bundle at all.

You get an email at your paypal email which contains a sentence that tells you the order the keys will appear in, and then at the bottom of the email you'll see a bunch of comma-separated keys.

You should get an e-mail with the codes in it, also a link to a webpage. First three codes area for Steam, the rest for Desura. First code works on both.

Have to say it isn't the nicest way I've seen keys given out.

Edit: Too slow :(

Ah, so that's it. Confusing why they went that route, but at least I can sort it. Thank you both.

I also got a 25% off Broken Age coupon. It says Discount for Double Fine Loyalty so I'm guessing they sent them out to everyone who owns a Double Fine game? All I own is Brutal Legend but whatever. If anyone wants it (although it sounds like a bunch of people got it) let me know.

If anybody has a spare 75% Shadow Warrior code I would be grateful if I could have it off you. Got a couple of Broken Age and Aqua Kitty codes if anybody wants them.

I also have a 75% Shadow warrior code I'm not interested in.

As I expected, everyone else got those coupons too. I'm probably gonna use my Shadow Warrior thing though. I'm just not gonna play it until after I've had a chance to check out OG Shadow Warrior.

So how is the new Rise of the Triad? I received a coupon and I think my laptop might be able to run it.

It's pretty bad, with the only real upside being that it's short. You pretty much fight the same single enemy type for three quarters of the game, weapon variety is poor, and the game is super buggy -- you'll constantly run into cases where level scripting straight up breaks.

Avoid it.

Honestly I'm not a fan of it. While I loved older FPSes that had ridiculous run speeds, this game just feels over the top. It actually greatly subtracts from the overall experience.

It's a lot like the old Rise of the Triad. Not great, just a really dumb fast paced shooter. If you played and liked the original (and think that those feelings would hold up if you played it again) then check it out. Seems like a lot of people in here were disappointed by it but it was what I expected.

Actually now I don't know if that's gonna happen. The Shadow Warrior thing expires in two weeks, and I know I'm probably not gonna play the game any time soon, so there's a good chance it could end up on a lower Steam sale by the time I do.

Also, got my Sennheiser 558 in today, thanks to those that suggested them to me! I like them so far, but still a bit in the honeymoon phase, I guess. Also got a soundcard and I'm tinkering with that software a bit too. Old headset relegated to PS4.

Felicidades :)

Besides, he'll have lots of games to play as he grows up. Unless he joins GAF at an early age.

gracias :)

hopefully by the time he gets around playing games family sharing will allow me to play as he plays or else he'll have to build his own steam library
