Silly question, but is there a site or something where you can check which retail games activate on steam? I have some coupons for retail games, but I'd prefer to buy games that I can add to my steam account

There's this, but it doesn't look to up to date. https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-wusf-3601

Pretty much anything new that isn't EA, Ubisoft or Blizzard will activate on Steam.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_using_Steam_authentication

Edit: It's not comprehensive, though (e.g. 007 Legends is missing entirely and it hasn't been updated to reflect the fact that the earlier Batman games now use Steamworks). Using it in conjunction with Valve's own list is about the best you can do, but always it'd be wise to ask about specific titles beforehand, just in case.

So Alien Isolation is a nono?

Do Borderlands 1 CD Keys activate on Steam? I got a Key But it doesn't work.

It should be a yesyes

I thought when GameSpy closed the server all keys should be redeemable in Steam

 

[JaseC]

It's not on there because Sega hasn't actually announced that the PC version will use Steamworks exclusively, but it's a safe bet considering Rome 2 and the upcoming Steamworks patches for the Dreamcast games.

Ok, thanks babes :3

You need to use the granting tool.

Why is it only booby mouse pads have the indent in them?
I'm looking for a replacement mouse pad and they all are flat on the top of the gel I hate it.
I got this damn thing as a joke gift but it's been the most comfortable pad i've used.

Barely NSFW pic of mousepad

What's happening is the cloth at the bottom is coming off I guess from all the stress I put on it.
Since I rest while pushing my arm slightly up.

This is the closest thing I have found but it goes to the side and I hate it because of that

 

[Lain]

Jast is literally shooting themselves in the foot.

That's why I'm calling them Just from now on, just short on common sense!

Spoiler

I still haven't bought Steins Gate from them and I'm not budging on this one, until it's on steam, gog and alike.

Jast would love to have it on Steam as they've said over and over and over, even before it was released. But if they don't get the OK...

Yep, why do you think I use a boobie mousepad in the office. Other pads don't have that comfort.

Can't they put it on Greenlight and try?

At first I would have taken this as a joke.
But after using this pad for a year and then going to other's it's the truth.
If I ever see someone with a boob mousepad I won't even knock them for it. Since I know the true comfort of them now.

The boobie mousepads are more comfortable than the regular ones? Where can I get those? I found them in London when I was there last year during my vacation, but I never bought one.

I've never seen them in store but they're all over ebay.
My friend had gotten a deal there where it was buy 2 get 1 free and that's how I ended up with mine.

You usually get them in weird anime stores. I saw them in one in Edinburgh when I was there.

not really steam related but as those games aren't on steam, Little Big Adventure games are on sale on gog.

I never heard of Puzzle Pirates until it came to Steam and I was a little curious why an essentially f2p game was coming over (oh the days before they were common) but quite liked what I played. But yeah some of thing her level play required a good and committed player base. Sadly I didn't give it much of a look in but it seemed a nice twist on the genre. Then again I still quite like Puzzle Quest and the Castlevania SotN spinoff variant.

We are of the same mind on the matter. PQ is on my GOAT list after all.
BTW, if nothing was changed in years, Puzzle Pirates has some heavy gambling opportunities.

Spoiler

Now I got all nostalgic, maybe I should dll, login and see what changed over the years.

The second game is on the current Groupees BeMine bundle. It will get a steam key later when it's released on Steam

Which questions even more what Majesco is doing.
Here we have a game not even out on steam yet that will give you keys. But Bloodrayne gives GOG codes for some reason.

Regular one is too flat or too rounded. The boobie strikes the perfect balance for your wrist to be wonderfully situated between the valleys and you only use your pivot to move the mouse.

 

[someguyinahat]

Nobody cares about hearing confirmation of Steam release of games that are like 2 years away of any form of release.

So does this mean we shouldn't talk about kickstarters anymore?

You'd be better off talking to 2K. I'm not sure what its policy is on digital key replacements, though.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Managed to sell a whole bunch of cards and TF2 items and now I'm ready for Super Time Force Ultra. First time I've paid for a game in full from selling stuff on the market, feels good.

 

[MetalDeer]

Claw grip mouser?

Not really, my palm just sits near the edge of the desk. Every time I tried one of those mouse pads with the wrist rest, I just turned them around and didn't use the rest at all. Maybe I'm just weird, though.

The couple of times I've used them they have been one of the better support centres (well as good as customer support gets in gaming). My issues related to already redeemed keys with Max Payne 3's Season Pass and a massive kerfuffle with a physical copy of Borderlands 2 that is way to anal and detailed to go into. Needless to say both issues were resolved within a week and I was contacted within 24 hours.

Strange, GMG didn't update thei rewards, today.

Bank Holiday in the UK today. I suspect most of the staff have their feet up or are down the pub (then again that's just me).

We are of the same mind on the matter. PQ is on my GOAT list after all.

What I love about Puzzle Quest is that it take 2 of my greater loves, RPGs and Puzzle games and mixes them together really, really well. Got the 2nd on my phone but haven't really given it much of a look in (those damn 69p apps!).

Talking of the hyperbole laden GOAT list, which has been getting more and more usage round here this year. If you took everyone's submissions that post on GAF seriously it would probably contain almost every game ever (well maybe not ET). It's all boxing and LL Cool J's fault!

From Steam? It should just auto-update. Do you mean the Witcher 2.0 patch?

Groupees BAGB9 is currently 1 game minimum.
Keys for KEL (Groupees BAGB8) will be handed out once it's out of Early Access.

I thought it was like patch 3.4 or something. I read about a fairly major overhaul of the game a little while ago, and figured that I'd like to try it out again, starting from scratch.

I wouldn't.

It's probably garbage.

The latest Groupees build a greenlight bundle is down to a one game minimum, in case anyone was looking to get Wickland + something else for really cheap.
