40 cards so far with idle, no foils 
I hope the Steam version is a remake or a port of the PS1 version, as the DOS one wasn't too enjoyable in my opinion. No manual saves, getting hurt whenever you ran into a wall, stuff like that. All of those annoying things were fixed on PS1, and I really enjoyed that one (even though I played it with a printed walkthrough beside me all the time).
The sequel is incredible, and one of the games I love the most. It's so charming, and the beginning with the storm is awesome (I spent a lot of time going through the town in the demo, which didn't let you enter any house, until my cousin lent me his disc of the full game). Oh, the memories!
I own SSF4AE for PS3
I dont own USF4 and wish to own it. BUT I'm scared because since the move to steamworks people have said the netcode has been godawful
For figthan gaems I've been playing KoF XIII on and off for like 2 years since I started on PS3. Got it during the holidays and pc and started it up again whooping
AI left and right cause no one plays it and bad online
Edit: New page, so new suggestion. This time from Greenlight.
Engauge
A 2D action platformer somewhere between Mega Man and Rayman Origins/Legends/Jungle Run. Even a bit of Uniracers in it at certain points from what I played of it on a certain stage.
Run, jump, punch, and amazingly rare in these action platformers, you can block through levels that may not be the most complex in construction, are full of jumps, enemies, and obstacles to get through in a surprisingly satisfying "get a good run" type of way for the majority of it.
Not every stage or section is all about running forward of course, fair amount of solving puzzles or finding hidden items so some slight exploration can add some time to it.
You can also back it in Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/431842510/engauge
As long as you give clear warning that they might not be valid, it's okay.
I personally suggest that if there is an extremely likely chance several or more games aren't valid and you just don't know, then you could also make use of the GARBAGEDUMP rule. Thus if someone wins it and they don't get anything, nothing has been lost and they aren't prevented from winning another giveaway.

I just spun the Steam Roulette wheel for funsies and to test out my new Steam ID and this just happened:
This is why you don't gamble. You played Steam Russian Roulette and lost.
Every time I think I should test out that Roulette site I returns some game I have zero interest in playing.
I swear I could spin it 5 times and still not want to play the game. Maybe my library just sucks lol

I don't own either one, I've had my eye on the USF4 release though. I haven't played Street Fighter since Super Street Fighter II on the SNES.
Bummer, man. I was cross-examined pretty good during an interview once about being overqualified for a certain job. Employers are real sticklers about that stuff these days, all this risk-managing that goes into every business decision.

Killer is Dead. Yay or Nay?
I did that, but there are titles that I also bought in other places or that are from bundles with no way of checking where I activated them from
Just warn people that the keys might be used.

The netcode has gotten much better since then. Still not as good as GFWL version, but definitely still great.

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.
Pretty much this. I live in a very "tourist-y" area, so finding a place to live when the weather is nice is basically an exercise in frustration. Once the fall/winter hits, prices will go way way down. Unfortunately, I don't have that long to wait.
Why probably?

Yeah it's surprisingly wound up in a few bundles (maybe 1 and I'm just exaggerating) so you could definitely pick it up for cheap.. eventually.
If you really want to scratch an itch though you could grab the free to play version which just involves the fighting aspect.
Edit: you could also pick it up for 4 keys on dispenser.tf

I finally take a key after having no luck for a week, and its already redeemed. My luck is awful with Modbot. I think him and RGNuns are in cahoots against me.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will go with that after going my key list again.

Some impressions for Detective Case and Clown Bot in Murder in the Hotel Lisbon:
The music: Is great. It's got some cool tunes, some dramatic, but most whimsical to indicate comedy relief. And you know what kind of impressions you're in for when I start by telling you how good the music is. But I wanted to start on a positive note.
The graphics: Loads of style. Characters range from short and dumpy to a tall-and-thin reminiscent of an exaggerated Jessica Rabbit. If any game is going to exaggerate facial and bodily features, it should be a point-and-click, but part of me says it went a bit too far. Objects of note are very easy to spot, as they get illuminated by a thick white border when you mouseover them.
The dialogue: I give the dialogue three "ugh"s. I seriously can't tell whether the jokes were intended to be funny, or intended to be unfunny. A lot of Clown Bot's jokes are the kind you heard in junior high or earlier, and some seem out of place in 2014. Yes, I was probably in grade 6 or 7 when I heard "What do you call a gay guy on a plane? A fruit fly!" But again, is this appropriate? Furthermore, was this supposed to be funny, or was it supposed to be terrible? My opinion is that they tried to sit on the fence. Found it funny? Great, it was supposed to be! Found it unfunny? Great, it was supposed to be!
Oh, and don't forget the spelling errors. "Why was six afrain of seven?" I get that the developers didn't have English as their first language, but that means it's extra important to make sure you're doing it right, gentlemen.
The gameplay: Don't expect to use objects in the conventional way. Items aren't used: they're collected for evidence. When you have the right objects, you can enter an interview minigame with a character. It was an interesting concept. It could have been executed better with choices that don't make it obvious which one is correct. But points for trying something new.
Walking is quite slow indeed. But wait! There are taxis that allow you instant transportation, so it's not so bad! But wait again! If you never use that convenient item, you get an achievement! Developers, why do you do this? If you don't want us to use it, don't put it in. There's also an achievement for fucking up every interview minigame. Why are you rewarding failure?
Edit: Forgot to mention there are a few sidequests. I tried to finish one halfway through the game but they railroaded me into finishing the main quest and forbade me from finishing the sidequest. I hate that! However, they do allow you to finish sidequests after the main quest is done for some post-game content. So that was good.
Finally, there's a separate minigame where you choose the correct punchlines to jokes within a time limit, and collect roses for correct punchlines or dodge tomatoes for incorrect ones. For more achievments you can get a high score (not too tough to achieve) or get 32 correct punchlines in a row (pretty bad.) It gets pretty tedious, but thankfully it's not required at any point during the game.
The verdict: I really wanted to like this game. It does a few things right, and of course there's a shoutout to GAF in it. But when it comes to the so-called "humour" and the general gameplay, it gets so many things wrong. If you're not a fan of point-and-clicks, don't get it. If you're a fan of point-and-clicks, consider carefully whether you really want to try this one...but I still wouldn't recommend it. I'm sorry.

Finally got in some multiplayer Mount Your Friends in. Singleplayer is OK, multiplayer is transcendent.
Only when you have friends to mount, does mounting your friends become fun.
is it "sogood"?

Guys, I made a 'game' with Game Maker Studio, it's based on the tutorial. Nothing amazing.
EDIT:
Removed link as chrome was blocking it for some reason, it was compiled with the GameMaker Studio compiler, so I'm not sure why that's happening.

Hey guys, before I buy the Groupees BaB, isn't it better to separate your games into multiple buy (like buy 2 bundles with 2 games each instead of 1 bundle with 4 games)? Since this way, I get multiple copies of the bonuses, and there's no benefit to buying more, since the price is set for each game.
Post the new link when you get it working. I'd like to see what you came up with. I was planning to make a game for the RPG Maker competition, but I underestimated my laziness and am nowhere near finished.

So, now that Red Faction Guerrilla was a bit hyped due to the recent 90% off sale...
Am I the only lonely soul with severe performance issues with the game?
My laptop should have run it like a charm.

I would like to know this too.
God dammit I hate groupees.
I got a friend to buy me two of the games and I bought the remaining games. I obviously got the keys of the games I bought (because they were added to my profile), but I didn't get any email (neither from my friend's purchase or from mine).
How long do they take to send the email? this was like 6 hours ago by now.

Took about 2 hours from learning the program and following the tutorial to make 'this'.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jy8dq4tmhj0lu7x/wackakappa.zip
I think Chrome was blocking it as it was a .exe file and it was just being super safe.
Nope.
It's a problematic game that doesn't really work on quite a few systems, GFWL shitfuckery aside.
I played a few hours of it on the PS3, and I liked it. It an button-masher action game that puts style over pretty graphics. The story is pretty weird and out there, but it's a fun game to play through, and the game is divided into missions, which aren't too long, so it's good in short sessions, too. So, yay.
Turns out I was able to cut my garbage list to just one key that I'm still unsure of so to make up for it I added a couple of games that should work with no problems

Yup, of all the GFWL games I own, only Fallout 3 GOTY and Bioshock ran with no big performance issues. I still have to check Section 8 someday tho...
Own AE, interested in USF though lol.
I still wish Capcom did proper ports with online for 3s, AE, ST, etc. though.

Just beat brothers.
Not going to bother with a lengthy impression. But I definitely enjoyed it. Especially since I had bought it on sale for 2.50 which was more than worth the content it provided. Really liked the turn the game had.
Don't want to spoil anything though for those who haven't played it. Will say its about the length of a movie 2.5-3 hours, and that its a pretty good game if you have family or a Significant other. Since it lends itself very well to being watched.

I never get a single email from Groupees. Couldn't figure out why for the longest time until it finally dawned on me that I used Twitter oauth for my account and they don't have access to my email address. Is that the case for you?
What GPU are you using? I know AMD cards have trouble with this game.
Just played it. Not bad for 2 hours, and certainly not something I would have expected with RPG Maker.
I own SSF4AE and have bought Ultra upgrade from GMG.
Go into options and turn off ambient occlusion and see if that helps.
