In general, every post by him is just some form of bragging about how many games he has (that he got for free). I mostly tune him out. In the past few days, there's been some drama about him cheating at games to ruin leaderboards and using SAM for some illicit purpose? Most of that drama stopped when his Wasteland 2 giveaway started.

He used it to scam the Playfire rewards thing I believe.
Oh lol, that's classic GAF.
Good to know that Modbot still lives after what JaseC did to it. Thanks for the game!

Heh, no problem. I was curious myself as to what would happen with ModBot.
You betcha!
Thanks for NPPD Rush!
Mine was gmail being a pain yesterday. Turned up about 5 mins after the timestamp despite refreshing my inbox.
Speaking of which, did anyone win that one yet, or did it get derailed by JaseThon

"Wasteland 2 -- MB-16B6A8CE6D57A772 - Taken by Vastag. 1 entrants total. - Taken by Exuro. 121 entrants total."
Whatever that means. Probably the bug I got last week or so where two people won the same game.
Huh. Kinda weird it didn't edit the "last" one (17916), and that still looks pretty fucked up
Which one got it then? Or maybe neither? I don't know!
250ish is about the most you can give away with assurance that you won't run afoul of the character limit.

The ability of gaffers to make me laugh is amazing, thank you BruteUA for brightening up my morning coffee.

If you really were an asshole they'd all be labeled as the popular game of the day but the keys would all be Bad Rats.

Just mentioning this because it's kinda weird:
Just got two PMs: one from ModBot and the other from ModBot 2. What's that about? (Same giveaway and same key for both.)
Thank you again for the game, FiveElementNinja

Well unless you giveaway 250 copies of AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome and they're claimed by peeps with the longest usernames possible

Yeah, same thing with me, 2 PMs from ModBot for the same game. Probably needs some fine-tuning after the recent storm of giveaways
That's what I meant. Maybe that's why my assholery hasn't been uncovered yet, I say it the wrong way and it sounds non-assholish.
Assuming an average username-length of 8 characters and an average game name-length of 15 characters, and nothing in your giveaway post except the ModBot copypasta, you could give away 261 games before ModBot would run out of space.
This is probably safer.

No problem. There are 3 ModBots I believe and sometimes they overlap duties. It's nothing to worry about.
I got this giveaway receipt from ModBot2 a few minutes ago haha. I think ModBot needs a vacation.
Anno 1404?
Was recently removed via patch. The files are still there, but they have been rendered inert. I believe you can just delete them.
Steam hasn't been updated to reflect this change.
Nope I've checked Anno and Tages doesn't get involved anymore and a few peeps I've spoke to after the patch have said it's the same for Dawn of Discovery. Files are still there but they're inert, in fact if you wish you can delete them.
Edit: Well I'm just too slow tonight

Anyone else having problems loading the steamcommunity page? Also for some reason Steam isn't showing the games images on grid view.
This is how the community page shows:
Anyone?

Nah you had it written correctly. For some reason my brain read it as "they'd all be mislabeled as Bad Rats."
It all started on school today when I was about to purchase Banished, Strider and Ikaruga for my birthday money (had birthday 23th april). Then a friend came (yes, a real friend), his name is Jostein (his Steam user, you can see me in his friends list) who knows about my reviewing stuff (most people on my school knows about my blog and I sometime loan them my review copies of games).
He aksed me if had some review codes left from games. I said yes, I have for Goat Simulator, Broforce, Full Bore, Spacebase DF-9 and maybe Wasteland 2 if i receive one more. He said he could help me through Steamtrades.com, be my middleman since I did not trust Steamtrades.com, he he have a profile there. So I gave him my review codes and he made this topic on Steamtrades for me.
I was impatient and made my own account hours after and started my own trade topic on Steamtrades.com. I locked it some hours after because I thought it was not needed since Jostein already have made a topic.
Then I thought it might be a better chance getting either Banished, Strider og Ikaruga if I used more trading allowed sites. So I tried CAG, some people got angry and called Neotards etc. so I changed my username to Dudeson in hope they won't get mad at NeoGAF at a whole, just me.
Then I asked Jshackles, JaseC and Apples, Man since I know they collect games, at least Jshackles and JaseC.
I thought about asking here on GAF, but I felt Steamtrades and CAG was enough.
Think that was all.

I remember that review codes and disk are not for trading and selling. Or are you allowed to trade them?
In the review discs it says "Promo copy - not for resale". When it comes to review codes, I have not read a single rule about trading and selling them. If Im not allowed to sell or trade them, I won't.
When you received the review codes, did the terms state that you could trade them?

LOL. Modbot is definitely having a bad day.
Anyway, I just tried out Gunman Clive. Fun, old school action platformer. Definitely scratches a nice retro itch for me.

Why do you think they're called "review codes"?
How do you get multiple codes for one game anyway? You have a blog with one reviewer and barely any readers.

.
Just "Thank you for your interest" and "here is your code: xxxxxx" and "Please don't give any impressions or review before this embargo".
I simply ask.
I haven't seen that reference in a while.
I don't use grid view, but my community page does occasionally look like that when it's connecting really poorly and not loading completely. Earlier this week I was having a hard time connecting to the community page, but it cleared up on its own-- maybe it's your turn now.
You're not the only one. I don't have neither the skills nor patience required for these games. I'm not a fan of dying 20 times to the same few enemies, only to be obliterated in a couple of seconds by a boss as soon as I get past that area.
I wish I could like them, but it's not meant to be.
