Win? Steamgifts? What haven't you guys been telling me?!
I'm not going to rebuy it.
I'm glad I resold my console copy quickly enough that I could still recoup 80% of my initial cost =p
I already did something like it in one of last year's threads, though, if you want to go digging for it
Things I could find off the top of my head:

Your chances of winning anything of value on that site are extremely low.
I entered 997 raffles and won Swords & Soldiers. Pretty sure that was in like a dozen indie bundles for 10 cents.
- If you won a game from ModBot in the last day, you are not eligible for this giveaway.

Never did get to play that one.
Such a gem that failed hard on sales. Im playing it on emulator but it has some issues on my end. I would love a real 1080p Metal Arms and 4 players online MP would be swell. I spent almost as much time as I spent on Time Splitters 2 multiplayer mode.

How hard is it to get those achievements Playfire has for Sleeping Dogs? I don't know how easy most of them would be since I have no concept of how fast you level up or whatever -- trying to figure out if it's worth starting for those few rewards they have or if I should just finish up the other games I have with rewards (I'll probably do this, since I have to finish up blackgate HD and just grabbed Halo to help out all you guys who want more Halo games on Steam).
one of them was just a cock fight for 50 cents, it's quick since it's just gambling based on luck
that's the only one I did
I never could play a lot of RDR.
The game keeps trying to melt my PS3 down to slag =p
But yeah, I'd rather see RDR on the PC.
Sadly, chances of this happening are 0, or close enough to it.

it's kind of odd that I will spend a couple of hours on playfire earning achievements playing games to get a few dollars, rather than go into work early and make more in one hour. but maybe the only thing thats odd about that thought is the comparison of games to work and not just the few dollars as an incentive to play games.
Oh man, Metal arms! I remember getting a gift from my mom saying she got it for me but it was Metal Saga. I was initially pissed but metal saga was really fun and long enough until I got enough money to get metal arms. Win-win.
In order of best to worse:
Anisotropic (preferably 16x or 8x)
Trilinear
Bilinear
Some of these are just a matter of preference. I'm very fond of SMAA, which is post-process based and as such doesn't have as much of a performance hit as MSAA does.
I would advice you to stay away from this site and steamtrades (it's sister site). Full of people that will try to scam you or do worse to you.
My friend once won a game that was in a HB from steamgifts and after a few days his Steam Account was banned for no reason. Turned out the guy who he won the game from used a fraudulent Credit Card to buy the HB. He also got scammed twice by "reputable" traders while trying to sell games in steamtrades

Thanks. A bummer, but at least I'm only out 99 cents.
The shitness of Steamgifts giveaways and the need for registering there is one of the reasons Modbot got created, so yeah.
Why not both? We could have GTA V and [random game you didn't care about enough to write its title] at the same time, you know
Thanks! I think I'll go with that.

Thanks.
But what is CSAA? And the Q?
From here:
Code:
CSAA
Coverage Sampling Anti-aliasing
Extends MSAA. It adds a type of samples called Coverage samples.
Code:
Q: Quality. Modes ending with Q double the number of MSAA samples as compared to their regular counterparts.As far as how good antialiasing methods are (I think) txaa>fxaa>msaa. Here's another link.

How else can you make a point out of telling everyone how much you don't care about the GTA series?

When can we pre-load Dark Souls II from GMG? This is my first time pre-ordering with GMG and I hope to be able to play it once I wake up.

I'm hoping it gets a port if they port it to ps4 and xbone, similar to how Bully was ported.
(I don't think they are going to port it to ps4/xbone though)
I picked it up a few days ago for $24 from G2A.com (Steam key).
I remember a thread over at IGN titled Metal Arms: Uprising. Got so popular that the devs started posting in it. I was so geeked out on the game that I developed a bit of a rapport with one. I PM'ed him asking if they would autograph my game case and he agreed. A couple weeks later my Xbox copy came back signed front and back by the whole team! It was short two signatures I think he said.
Man, that game was golden. Class-act team too.
I've never heard of this site before. Is it reliable, with legitimate and not stolen keys?
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
It is not licensed to sell keys of the game or others, no.
They're partnered with PayPal for their new Weekly Game Sale (along with other outlets like Desura), so I think that lends some credibility.
You can learn everything you want to know about anti aliasing here.Thanks.
But what is CSAA? And the Q?
In particular, CSAA is anti-aliasing with a special sample type.
Oh dear, no.
Every time I read that, I keep breaking out in laughter.
But seriously, they're known to be unreliable unauthorized resellers.

Oh man a Steam port of Metal Arms with a nerfed/modable Zombiebot King fight would be a rare day one purchase from me.
After selling a bunch of random things on the marketplace, I have found a new goal in life. I'm going to make some useless little game, get it on Steam and include a background featuring a waifu making meme references while sitting on a stack of #yoloswagmoney. I'll be able to retire a billionaire.
Doki-doki Thug Life Simulator 2015: Thanks Obama Edition. I'll be the richest man alive!
This will be my intro.
Once it gets the attention of the tabloids the publicity will sort itself out.

The sad thing about this gen is we added a few dozen graphical effects that look nice, yet all have subpixel aliasing while eating away at the same resource you need for real sampling AA. For a while, it was just an issue of turning off DoF. Do I want DoF if everything in the foreground is an aliased mess? No, that looks dumb. Okay, so I'll leave that off and have my delicious SSAA.
But now for some reason everything that is in DX11 is the same way, so you have all the legit geometry getting AA, but anything with a screen effect, blur of some kind or tessellation on it doesn't get AA. So you have this bizarre mix of DoF and motion blur and the like trying to make it seem more realistic, yet it looks less realistic because of all the aliasing everywhere. Tessellation makes it look even worse because then you have more details than ever to get fucked up into a pixelated mess. End result? I think Shogun 2 looks worse than TW games before it, even back to Medieval II.
I'm a bit annoyed when I see nVidia users posting screenshots where they used some special code in inspector to get SSAA in a DX11 game, but then I see some others complaining about games that they couldn't get working with AA until they went to ATI, so I guess it's just whoever has what the developer was working with. Overall though, I feel like graphics have definitely been dragged down with aliasing moving out from DX9. I'm learning to let go since the lighting and colors and whatnot make everything more rich, full, and alive, but goddamn if those chunky pixels don't hurt it considerably.
If nothing else, maybe strong Spartan Assault sales will compel MS to bring over other WinStore exclusives... such as ilomilo+. If it weren't for a certain Irish lass I'd probably have an ilomilo-related avatar as the characters are just the most adorable little things:

Is this BS?
It isn't. Fallout 3 never required GFWL to work.
OMG this!!!!!! I got the PS2 version of it on bargain bin years ago and ended up being one of my favorite games ever.
oh no XD

There are no PS4 or Xbox One versions yet either, this will have slowed them down and is the difference this time around.
They will probably announce all three at the same time alongside their new "dlc content".
Thank you guys, I have bookmarked those sites.
On another note, I were finally impressed with my new rig playing Crysis 1 and FF XIV: A Realm Reborn. Dear Esther also looks good.
