It's the first link in faq, actually.
It is public. Not sure what else could be going on.
How odd, I ctrl+f'd and couldn't find it.

Wait, not sure if I get it 100%. I checked my (new, made 15 minutes ago) Playfire account and it says on the rewards page "£8.05 earned to date" and there are achievements listed that I did years ago like Alien Swarm but the date on the page says 02 Apr '14 for everything. Do I get those credited to my GMG account?

Very cool. I already own the first one but why not give away a few of those in here too? That combined with a link to the OT should garner more attention for the game.
strange, I haven't got receipt for it.
Lemme double check.
edited: it has to be still available. Anybody else tried to claim it?
We are talking about Plain nothingness - Arcane Worlds.

Yup. And by "we" I meant the producer of the game, I'm just ModBotting them so that they are given away in a civilized fashion.
For the moment I thought you are giving away second one lol
I bought first game 5 times, actually, some for gifts, 2 for me! (><)
Anyway, really nice of them to give first game away as a way to promote second one.

I know, I actually thought it would be in his best interest to throw out a few here too.
Thanks, I'll avoid it.
Another thing I'm confused about guys. I have a Sony HMZ-T1 and would like to play games in 3D, but do I need the Nvidia 3DTV Play software in order to enable that functionality? And is it bundled with GeForce GXT 780 (I just got that video card)?
Despite the fact that buying The Ship nets you two copies of the game to pass on, it has no online community.

I am probably up there with you. I bought the PSP disc and at least one as a gift (possibly more), then I bought a digital copy once I got my PSP Go and of course the Steam version, which I'm sure I gifted a few times when it was 75%.
Naturally, I've been in a constant state of excited vibration ever since the first "teaser" tweets came out in October.
Finally, I can release all that excitement on Friday.

It does have a single player though, I believe. And the concept of the game is very interesting, if you can get to for dirt cheap no harm in checking it out.
It is known that any indie MP only game will be dead sooner than a woman during period taking a swim in a piranha infested lake.
I just can't understand why do they keep releasing them.
You need that software to play games in 3D on a 3D TV, yeah. I'm not sure about the 780, but I had to buy it for my 660TI and I'd assume any other card you would have to buy it. Only the base 3D vision is free because nvidia is getting a cut when you buy the 3d glasses kit anyway.

Natural Selection2 and Chivalry (vanilla not the supposedly crap dlc) seemed to be fine last time I played them
They don't pull dota2 numbers obviously, but they have a hardcore dedicated fanbase. I think it depends on the appeal.
Aliens/spessh muhranez/chopping head off with swords appeal to a hell of a lot more people than a slow paced whodunnit where everyone is a killer.

I wonder if that idea has been in any horror movies. Must have been in piranha 3DD surely.

This too. Hell, even the first RO has some human populated servers up.
Not easy to play on tho, those guys are hardcore. You end up dying, a lot.

Wow, Bob, I hope that didn't hurt.

Thank you The_Super_Inframan for Takedown Red Sabre. seems like I am very lucky these past giveaways.
Unfortunately no. I just recently got it in a bundle and was very intrigued by the concept. Looking at the server browser, I couldn't find any servers :/
Does anyone know how this game plays with just 3 people when I open up a game for my friends and myself?

well it's a game developed for the most part without big publisher meddling
1C is not big for you enough? (><)
Huh, I thought Playfire didn't pull from past stuff?
I haven't looked my page, but based on the emails they send me on my weekly balance, it's been sitting on 1.84 for the past month or something. I don't know if I haven't actually earned anything, or is it just stuck.
1C is just Tripwire's retail distribution partner. Think Valve's relationship with EA Partners.
Still, being without a big publisher doesn't really mean they are an indie studio?
Still, I can't see them as indies, it just doesn't sound right. Indie games are made by people that work on their games in spare time, or sacrifice a lot and don't eat until a game is finished, not someone who goes to an office every day! (><)
I might be wrong about this too, though
I have problem with this, I mean seeing second kind of devs and companies as indie ones. It doesn't really make sense. By this logic every self publishing company is indie, let's say SE! How ridiculous is that?
The rise of the "indie game" as a genre has sort of muddied the waters. At this point I think "indie" and "independent" as they refer to developers have become two similar yet slightly different terms -- one refers to the video game equivalent of a garage band (e.g. Team Meat) while the other speaks to larger studios that have the resources to operate autonomously (e.g. Valve).
That is my understanding as well.
You can't really treat a company as indie when they publish other people's work. Independent, sure, just not indie.
Pretty much the exact situation that occurred in the music industry. Indie - as a genre due to they types of games/music that independent devs/bands produced at the time that independent devs/artists became dominant.
There should be a way to be distinctive of independent and indie. In games development things are a bit different though. The style of games independent studios make most often are due to cost and team restraints. I imagine indie games as a genre will continually change as the tools are more available and cost effective to make games that are not restricted to much of the "indie" styling we see today - rather different from music but sort of similar to film

London, Covent Garden:
If I ever go to London I am so buying something there.
Ok, if I use the GMG voucher and my playfire rewards credit and then unlock all the achievements I can essentially get Goat Simulator for free. This seems like something I should definitely do.
Edit: Got another achievement in South Park and have 50p credit coming from signing up to the newsletter, so I'll wait til that's applied. Does anyone know how long the GMG voucher LPLTHA-IK05YA-J2WO1V lasts? It's 20% at the moment.
Double Edit: Sod it, bought.

Nothing against solid coupons like 25% off of Octodad that stacks. Unfortunately only valid until the 10th but if there's a sale until then I'm in.
Want some? 75% Flotilla, 75% Skulls of the Shogun
....ohhhh a Goat Sim booster pack just popped in my face. Excellent.
I never get coupons or anything...

Been playing Zeno Clash with a controller. I dunno, it doesn't feel right with a controller. It's playable, sure, and I'm almost at the end of it but playing with a 360 pad makes it feel clunky, even with the 360 controller configs I found on the steam forums. Hopefully, ZC2 doesn't feel as janky with a controller as the battle system really feels like it should work well on a pad.
I never get coupons or anything...
It's not all fun receiving coupons. Half a dozen coupons in the past few days for games I already own. I don't think this system actually works, coupons should only come from crafting badges. If you want to promote your game, discount it. Don't offer coupons to people who already own the games you are offering coupons for.

BattleBlock Theatre (Theater?) is quite good fun. The narration by Will Stamper is bat-shit crazy, but fits so well.
This is my first look at it - I've only played a little of the story mode locally (haven't touched the online stuff yet), and I ran out of talent a little once the timed levels kicked in... but it's we'll worth a look, I think, if you are in the beta but haven't checked it out yet.
