Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Even if you aren't going to buy the newest humble weekly bundle, I'd appreciate it if you would vote for Wildlife Park 3 on greenlight so those of us who are purchasing it can get the game on steam :)

It seemed to me they were being very careful to not say they would provide Steam keys if Greenlit.

Wildlife Park 3 will be available on Steam if it is greenlit by the community on Steam Greenlight. To help Wildlife Park 3 get greenlit, please click here.

My guess is that the change in wording here indicates that Humble purchasers will not receive Steam keys if greenlit.

The first two levels of Deadfall Adventures aren't half bad, not original and the jerky character animations are distracting but I like the setting, it looks good and gameplay with puzzles and shooting seems okay. They probably should've ignored multiplayer and started with a lower price point, I'll certainly get it for 10€ (strangely you can get the Steam-redeemable boxed version for less here than on Steam with -50%).

Is there a way to have Steam render with resolution scaling correctly on Windows (8.1) using a Bootcamped rMBP?

I can either get 1440x900 scale with blurry detail, or crisp retina resolution and everything's insanely small.

The only thing I want more of on Steam are Japanese games, specifically RPGs, but anything out of them. Xbox exclusives would be nice, too, especially since emulation isn't an option there.

I thought yesterday was the last day. Hopefully, this time will be the lucky one for me.

"Due to technical difficulties AMD’s post promoting the code giveaway did not go live. To make up for this...."

But are the keys given away directly on the Alienware site or do I have to make an AMD account too?

I remember that. Waited an hour or two past when the codes were supposed to go live, and forgot. Then a bit later I checked and the keys were all gone.

Seems like the nicest place to ask, has anyone used Simplycdkeys before? The price they have for Thief is pretty crazy and I'm unsure whether to jump on it.
 
I don't understand. Will 250 lucky people may grab Steam codes for Thief or Deus Ex?

Yea, that's how it has worked the last 3 times. The alienware page crashes almost immediately when the keys go online and they are gone inside seconds. Probably most to people using scripts.

You get a key which you redeem on the AMD site and you can choose which games you want to get there. So, an AMD account is required.

That was going to my suggestion regardless of your answer, haha. I just thought that perhaps you'd actually used three drops but only received two cards.

I just realized the same thing is happening with Batman Arkham City. Says I have all 4 card drops, but I only have 1 card (but 2 versions of it). At least with that one I have crafted a badge, so I know at some point I did have all 4 card drops. Shouldn't I start getting cards again if I have crafted a badge with the cards I received?

listen to the mad man
Diehard Dungeon (which I also have on XBLIG) is decent but quite punishing. I got burnt out after a while because I never felt like there was either a sense of progression or skill ramp, I just kinda kept hitting walls. Maybe I'm just a scrub.

I don't think it works that way. I've never gotten additional card drops after crafting a badge.
 
Finished Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Didn't really like it that much tbh, found it rather boring in fact. At least the presentation was top notch and they didn't mess up the ending.
 
If you're in the queue, I think you'll get a key. Everyone else gets the message - Error 503 - Sorry, the queue is closed as all keys have been claimed.
 
So still no update on Black Mesa since november. Is it surely not running on S2? Why would they be secretive about the Portal2/GO fork edition. Doesn't make sense.

Well, I like the aesthetic better than The Binding of Isaac's, I'll say that much. >.> (I can generally count on Edmund McMillen to combine gameplay I really enjoy with themes and imagery that leave me feeling mildly weirded out. I know it's his thing at this point, and I don't really expect that to change. Just one of those things I'm vaguely disappointed about.)

Now I need a Catzilla game.

Thanks GAF :(

No Catzooky, no sale.

Nope. Last time, the site said that 190 keys were remaining after I got into the queue, but I got an email saying that they were unable to assign a key. I got the same email this time.

Unfortunately, a key could not be assigned to you. This can occur for one of several reasons, including:

1) We've ran out of keys before we could assign one to you while you were in the queue.
2) You are in a country or region that is not eligible to receive a key.
3) A key has already been assigned to you.
Please check back later as more codes may be added!
