ok...I redeemed the Steam keys for Game of Thrones, Tales From The Borderlands, and The Wolf Among Us
are the Telltale keys completely separate and able to be given away with no issues?

The 3 empty spaces are extra slots to equip other special attacks, which you gain by leveling up.

Its called 1916 - Der Unbekannte Krieg (The unkwon war)
I actually did play that, because comeone recomended that to me, but the fact that you were hunted by Dinosaurs in a WW1 setting turned that game more into a unfunny comedy-adventure rather than a good horror game imho.
Yep, they are. Separate keys and all. You're free to give them to someone and they can redeem them on their Telltale account.

I feel really sad all of a sudden for no apparent reason
You probably realized that we still have 4 days until The Phantom Pain

It's ok, the real secret of SteamGAF is that we all are.

It's probably one or both of these, or that I just read about the Borderlands Movie and know it will be a sad event for the world.

Didnt you read his post? He already has phantom pains.
Ah top stuff, cheers.

90% of Early Access games make the other 10% look bad.

Wow, this is the classiest server shutdown announcement I've seen in a long time. Starting now until the end of the year (shutdown) they're boosting everything and just opening the floodgates for the fun parts of the game; increased drops, XP, etc, and a bit of new content. Generally these sorts of shutdowns happen as a slap in the face to customers and close shop in weeks, rather than this.
Undead Labs is still a pretty awesome studio.

yea i wouldn't like say it was good, but it was pretty scary at least for me lol
Well sure. But I don't really see a way of making trench warfare on the western front into an entertaining shooter without making it so inaccurate that it's not even remotely related to the actual experience. At which point, why even bother making that game?
Then again, the best ever British comedy was set in the trenches, so anything's possible.

Furthering proving what a great and trustworthy studio Undead Labs is...
Are you sure you can give away Telltale key?
I mean, what if they are like linked to Steam key in some ways? Like I install the Steam version, I gave away TT key, the user with TT goes online, the system can see both are from the same purchase and lock one key out?

I asked earlier before I made any raffle and was told they are completely separate and able to be given away

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.
Nor Steam achievements, Steam cloud, etc.

Well I mean I just figured to Steam + 1 would cover all of those bonuses lol.
Oh, nice then, thanks!
golly, almost doesn't sound worth it
but i've heard too much good about Tales, i don't care where i may get it from
My idea has always been a spy/stealth game set during World War 1. Play around with the setting a bit, and it can totally work. Sneak through trenches, forests, no man's land, etc. WW1 is so fascinating because of how it brought outdated tactics together with modern weaponry.
You could use a mixture of conventional and older weapons (like a sword!). There would be upgrades and collectibles, stuff like that. It would still go into depth on the horrors of war.
Heh, that's why Canadians ditched that piece of crap and tried to get their hands on the GOAT Lee Enfield whenever they could.
Ok Azure Striker Gunvolt is alright. Getting a more Gunstar Heroes vibe than Megaman Zero and asides for a few odd quirks not too bad of a port over (for a 3DS game). Launcher is a bit fiddly but I've sort of worked out how to remap keys (I think) and could do with in game instructions for the scaling and display modes but it runs fine my end (very lightweight) and in gameplay terms it looks very promising. Wonder if that black screen issue is an AMD one though?
Edit: Oh and what's the top screen resolution of a 3DS again? 400x240 right?

Sales for preorder games are only high during the beginning and end of the pre-order phase.
Some how I missed how messy bonus content / dlc is for each version of the game:
And then there's all the different mother base staff variants that are only on certain platforms or if you bought them from certain places / do certain things - http://metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Mother_Base_Bonus_Staff

behold the true power of anime.
You sure you got all tapes? Including all the tapes you find in the area? Both from the intel mission? And the two from the extra ops?Grats. For some reason Steam didn't award me with the "information" achievement despite finding all the tapes and busting my ass off to clear all ops on hard for the last tape
Koei Tecmo is the Telltale of Warrior games. They just need a Dontnod of Warrior games to whoop their asses.

They should update that on account of the missing DLC from the Collectors Eds might not be shipping with every copy per region
If Peace Walker is anything to go by (and that had loads of unobtainable preorder DLC) then their will be fucking loads of stuff like that to unlock via the R&D platform. I can here the grinding already.

Uh... so it's out, he's just being picky about it being an EA title?
Now you get it. Buy it if you want it. Otherwise go buy a 3DS and pony up the $15 on the e-shop for it.
All .69 cents of it?
I think the game disappears once you've actually received refund approval (once you can see the funds pending as a return on the market, I think?)
Well, it's not Steam, so draw your own conclusion from that, I suppose.
I don't know anything other than it's basically another service to have a few games on instead of your normal gaming client *cough*STEAM*cough*

I was going to ask what I missed while I was gone, but I see it's the same old stuff on infinite repeat:
Grief bitching about random 60fps shit, people flipping out because of another port where it wasn't some glorious PC remake, etc.
Meanwhile, the latest KF2 update in the beta branch seems to have destroyed online -- after installing it, 0 servers can be found in the server browser... not sure if it's cause I have a newer level and servers need to patch as well or if the update just straight up broke the online portion of the game.

Steam with that exsclusive Mother Base staff and Xbox One digital version is just "TBD Too bad dog".

Ridiculous.
On an unrelated sidenote, there is no way ill be able to get the motherbase stuff for the purchase of Ground Zeroes with a PS3 code for the PC-Version, right?
Nope. I saw a overview that showed that you can transfer like that:
PS3 -> PS3/PS4
PS4 -> PS4
360 -> 360/Xbone
Xbone -> Xbone
PC -> PC
So no. Full PC or no PC, traitor.
