old-school GAF shit here!
Oh, that picture. I never knew the GAF user behind that one.
GAF has a yearly thread for members to post their gaming setups; and some of the members have quite impressive set ups. And when everyone was fawning over them, as a joke Gahigiddy submitted this as his:

"The Pervs Making This Game"
The only thing I really want out of those is Blackguards

So Amazing Spider-Man runs like shit.
Playfire's fine now.
Happy birthday, MRORANGE.

One guy, three controllers, and 2-bits of Playfire credit:
Feels good, man.
If anyone would like my method for doing this, let me know and I'll write it up.
You just need a working knowledge of Monaco, 3 controllers, and some patience.

Supported a filthy bunch of filthy liars?
That's dedication, dude!
I'm heading to bed, but asking anyway and hopefully the wise sages will have an answer when I wake up:
With Playfire rewards, I'm not using the Vulcan client (currently). If I unlock an achievement less than 3 hours from a rewards expiration and they don't register it until after the reward expires, do I get it because I unlocked it earlier anyway, or does it actually have to scan it in before the expiration time hits? I don't want to install the client just because I'm unlocking two achieves at the last minute tomorrow after work
On a possibly related note, for some reason today Playfire gave me reward credit for a bunch of Arkham City, TF2, and Sleeping Dog achievements, which I had earned well before I even registered for Playfire. Considering it was like $6 worth and all at once I'm worried it'll look like a SAM-thing? I thought Playfire wouldn't credit you for achievements previously earned? I appreciate the free money but don't want my account flagged cause it bugged out!
Thanks for the wisdom when I awaken!
At the moment the client doesn't track Steam because we rewrote the tracking engine. It might return though and if it does, that would mean you could update your profile faster.
As for unlocking achievements a few hours before the end of a reward, that is a risk and due to the API we can't directly address that issue. Couple of solutions, 1) we track more regularly, which is a tough order right now, or 2) we add a grace period on rewards - this would be feasible. In the meantime contact CS and they'll credit you manually.
As for the rewards you just got for old achievements, I take it you just signed up. That's just a new profile thing, we give you the benefit of the doubt because we don't know when you unlocked them. This is a known issue and we have a switch that decides whether we do that or not. Keep the credit, we won't take it back.
Must play Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes -75% on gamersgate
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is on sale too
you mean sonotamazing, surely?
perhaps you know, is it region locked?

Thanks for the responses guys, I guess its true that Steam isn't really the most suitable venue for long form text reviews and they would be better posted at a videogame website that allows community reviews like Giant Bomb. The recommended/not recommended option in itself is already restrictive, and I've seen some users actually compile a numerical score to the end of their reviews.

I tend to chop bits and pieces out of my larger versions of reviews in order to stick strictly to the information with a tad bit of flair and people seem to like it. Talkin chopping down from 1k words to 300-600~.
I guess it really depends on how in-depth you want to go with your reviews. People appreciate a bit of character in the review, important information and on occasion 3 word meme reviews make it to the store page. Such is life.
You can post them in this Steam thread if you desire. A lot of members already do when they finish a game and repost them when the game goes on sale and other members have questions about the game.
i don't think the system is necessarily bad
like all you care about is if your friends liked the game or not
i get more my "stay away of this game" or "this game is da bomb" shit from this thread and just talking to people
What are you doing not playing Katawa Shoujo at this moment? That game has more feels than To The Moon and Lost Odyssey combined.
DOTA/TF2 items as well.

I don't think it is. I got it from tf2outpost and it activated and ran fine, though the game lagged terribly with awful framedrops. My PC isn't amazing by any means but it should be able to run this...
I'm not really all that bothered by the joke reviews or just doing short bullet point lists. It's just that sometimes I'd like to read more in-depth reviews from fans of the game, and Steam reviews could be a good place for those. I guess I could just start browsing through OTs for games that I'm interested in for impressions from other NeoGAF users instead. That's a nice review CheesecakeRecipe. I couldn't write anything that fluid and have actual character. English as second language is a valid excuse here, right?
Also, thanks for reminding me that I still need to get NaissanceE.I can't say I'm 100% sure, but I remember it being -66% on steam or something like that, that's why I bought it on gamersgate. Ups sorry, you mean complete, that probably wasn't on sale yet, at least I can't remember.
Thanks, it makes me want it even less than before if it runs so bad.
why? you have something against polish?
Your URL has ?l=polish attached to it, just FYI.
Fixed, thanks. Hate it that google somehow adds them to steamcommunity search results.

Aw, thanks! Your English is far better than a lot of people I know whose native language is English.

The Polish aren't Irish enough for my tastes.
Given that Ireland is/was pretty good spot for work immigration, there are a lot of Poles in Ireland (150k+).
Syder looks like a sweet game, I don't know why I didn't install it last night. The shmup selection on Steam is kind of dire so here's hoping it's actually good and doesn't go in the same pile as Satazius, eXceed and the two worst games I own so far, Razor2 and Heli Heroes.
Puppygames should make a shmup instead of that MMO-whatever thing they're doing.

this is my most helpful review apparently (31/34 - 91%), from king's bounty armored princess.
also no one liked my mars war logs review lol

I second this as well.
Game is simply amazing for a free VN and the writing is pretty good with the feels.
maybe this has been posted already? (probably)

A cool-looking 'digital boardgame'. um, it has hex cells.

I dunno guys, Lost Odyssey is only game aside of Suikoden that gave me feels, you put that plank way too high, just pointing out.
You're on my friends list.
Unless you're talking about playing the game together, in which case "outlook not so good" because it's not really something I'm interested in, haha.HP_Wuvcraft

Other than already going thru mybigass steam backlog, just not in the mood atm.
Right now I wanna finish up Erica Reed and Psychonauts so I can go back to the OTHER games on my Steam backlog that I put on hold =V
You're on my friends list.
yeah, I meant the in-game friendlist (which is separate from Steam's)... forgot for a minute that you would buy it but not want to play

What's wrong with eXceed? Original is wonky, true, but the sequels are all kinds of good.
Also, there's Danmaku Unlimited 2, Ikaruga, Jamestown, Everyday Shooter, RefleX. Not a bad selection of titles...
Indiegamestand deal for today is 1849, a city management game that has been greenlit. BTA gets you the Android version so could be a good deal for those seeking a cheap city management game for PC/Android.
Thanks kulapik
Syder is a defender type shmup, pretty decent and hard. Satazius is quite good IMO as classic 16-bit era sidescrolling shmup go.

Thanks for Syder Arcade and a preemptive happy birthday!
Beat Betrayer.
Woah.
Is it FEAR? Nah. It's actually as distinct a game as the others the team worked on, though. Like how FEAR was nothing like NOLF which was nothing like AvP2 which was nothing like SHOGO...
Betrayer was fun. I liked it. Totally worth the $15 I paid for it in Early Access. Now to explore... in color!

EDIT: Nevermind I got it to work, there was an extra h in front of the code. Thanks for the game kulapik!
eXceed 2nd is OK, yeah. The color-switching isn't exactly genius and very derivative of Ikaruga, but it plays much better than the awful first game. Everyday is also terrible and not a shmup, so three good ones isn't exactly a wealth of titles to choose from, especially considering how many good ones are already available for PC.
