Why does US get all the nice things? 25% off all prepaid cards, including Steam Cards, if you buy 2 of them.

That'd essentially allow you to buy keys from the market at around $1.85, which is equal to the better deals from traders. Unfortunately I don't expect Steam Wallet codes here in Australia to expand beyond EB Games any time soon, if ever.

There is no region-lock on Steam cards, right? *lights the USGaf signal*

Nope. If you use a currency other than USD then the amount will just be converted.

I'm starting to get more into civilization 5 and actually liking it more than before (I first played it with a few seasoned friends and I was bored shirtless bbecause they explained stuff and basically told me what to do, taking out all the fun)

However around the mid game mark the game take a bit of a slump. We are basically just waiting for the tech tree to grow. Anything I should aim for to get the game going again? Around what time should I start attacking others?

And that totally should be the tagline.

Please accept idling.

*brofist*

I learned to quote wall from the best :p

I hope Humble with throw out a really INDIE bundle, maybe with Valdis and Teslagrad in the first tier.
A man can dream.

Knock-knock has never been in a bundle, would love to pick that up along with The Last Door, Fading Hearts, The Yawhg, and Unholy Heights.

Maybe its something about rumored remake of the first game (if dreams come true..)

I didn't even know about that rumor. Might be interested if it keeps the same style as the original game.

This should solve your problem, but no guarantees because I hate Windows 8 and it will probably defy me just to piss me off.

Awesome. Will try this and see what happens. If it defies you I will get p***ed off on your behalf. If Linux supported all the games I have I would install SteamOS in a heart beat, maybe one day

I'm editing videos of Echo Night Beyond right now for my YouTube channel (have a huge backlog of videos to edit, literally over a thousand hours of game footage), but reminded me that I wish From Software would take some of its older efforts to Steam. Not just its horror games, but as a horror enthusiast, they had a few low-budget but good niche horror games in Echo Night, Echo Night Beyond, and Kuon.

I didn't know that From Software made Kuon, I was always interested in that game.

And of course, obligatory Metal Wolf Chaos comment.

*so bitter now

Roguelike puzzle game sounds so horrible. It would have to be pretty much a revolution in the genre to work.

It actually works nicely, not first person one as Kenod was talking, but for example in 10,000,000, which is hilarious and frustrating together. I never would have believed, but it works maybe even too good!

8.1 hasn't done anything but 8 refused to let me play a heap of my games so it got added to my shit list. I might give 8.1 a chance some day but I'm not rushing out to do it.

totally OT, but don't do it, man!
I lived up with downgrade to win8 because it's faster than win7, but going to win8.1 is ever worse downgrade, because it's slower than win8!
I still can't believe nobody on steamgaf told me this, when I was asking is it worth moving to 8.1.

My windows 8 to 8.1 upgraded install was slower than the original windows 8 install, yeah. I redid it with a straight Windows 8.1 install and it's the same as the regular Win8 install. Dunno what's up with that. I still need to get another key for my laptop so I can do it there as well.

Trashbot gets a lot of business here but I always like to offer them first in the slim chance someone wants one of these games. I universally already have what they offer me so they're a waste on my end.

Heh, personally I only use them on games with more than 75% off that have cards, the rest get trashed. Still happy about that 90% off Portal 2 I got recently.

Hate is such a strong word.
I'm more like ambivalent. Loved the game when I played it, but since then I've played tonnes of better games, and as such don't have rose-tinted glasses when thinking of the game.

much envy, I wish there were tonnes of better games than FF7 (or Suikoden series, for that matter) in my universe.
I'm still waiting for one as good, let alone better (._.)
Not comparing with other genres, as that's not possible, talking about JRPGs.


not gonna do that, firstly because I'm lazy, secondly, I'm not so sure there is problem to fix, it even boots and shutdowns slower than 8. It's just how it is, difference isn't that huge, but at first 8.1 after 8 feels sluggish, I got used to it by now, but I still shouldn't have moved from 7, at the end of the day.

Do you know if there is a way to do this with an OEM Windows 8 'key'? The whole 8-8.1 thing got complicated as crap with the key being embedded in the bios now. At least so much as I've gathered.

I'll give you my old windows 8 key tomorrow, it got locked down because I accidently activated it to many times so MS emailed me to call them on a weekday, since I just got an SSD on Saturday I decided to just buy a 8.1 key for 25$ so I'll give you my old 8 key when I unlock it tomorrow

I used to fall for the 90% ones every time, but after buying a game that wasn't what I thought it was (silly me didn't do his research) I kinda got over that.

Where are these cheap Win 8.1 keys at? Not that I actually want one right now but it'd be good to know where legit sources of these things are for the future.

Volvo please, I want to be able to trash coupons.

It was initially possible to delete items from one's inventory, but in a case of "This is why we can't have nice things", people abused the functionality when L4D2 released and it was discovered that Valve was giving Vintage Bill's Hats to those who'd accidentally (or "accidentally") deleted the Genuine they'd received for pre-ordering. Towards the end of Dota 2's closed beta period it was possible to delete invites, though.

Looks like Little Big Adventure will be in the next Groupees Bundle. I guess that means the android version or GOG. It's not on Steam right?
I'd pay some sweet cash to have this game and the sequel (which I like a lot more) on Steam. The PC version of LBA had a few (in my opinion) questionable choices that were fixed or improved in the PS1 port, so I consider that one the superior version though.

There were talks of a remake back in 2011. Maybe we'll hear more about it soon.

I just got Selknam Defense key, thanks meridian, you are good people!

Create a second, foreign account, add money via code, buy games, download games, log in with your normal account, play games.

ya, it works like charm... except if you plan to play online, don't buy online games this way! I did this mistake once, never again

There was one for Android, which I own (but haven't played). That said, I want it on PC. The sequel is fine, as far as I remember, but I wouldn't complain if it gets remade too :p

The soundtracks are perfect and need to be left alone. Damn, I want to replay Twinsen's Odyssey now.

game servers are region specific, I couldn't play from my local EU account at all, I couldn't even get access to servers. I could theoretically play on US account, I know some people do that, depending on game, you would be at disadvantage, though.

edited: no opinions on Montague's Mount? I wish Dusk was here (><)

I've been saying this badge crafting nonsense is over for a while as soon as I get to 50 and I got there. No more recycling card drops into more cards....just gonna sit on that $0.06 or so per card until it becomes enough to buy a TF2 key with.

Who am I kidding I'll probably just keep crafting anyway.
