Well, this is new.



A link to this page shows up now on Steamguard and password reset emails.

I actually saw this a few days ago when one my alt accounts was trying to be accessed from some ip address in india. I was like huh, i don't remember seeing that before. It's a pretty damn nice feature though. You get hacked? INSTALOCK before you lose all your items.

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking...

Inb4 someone locks their account and Steam support doesn't give it back
for a few months
.

Except for this which is bound to happen.
 
Who's up for some 2D Devil May Cry?

AFAIK, this happens anyway. When you report a hacked account, the first thing they do is lock your account until you can prove ownership, at which point they restore access to you. At least this way you can prevent the hacker from doing more harm.
 
Beware: Super House of the Dead Ninja has a tendency to delete your save file if you do not force close it once you're doing playing it, or at least it does on Win 8. It'll immediately reload a second session that doesn't read your save file once you exit, and it you close that second session the normal way it'll override your original save file.

Sucks, because that game rocks my jock but it's kinda messed up.
 
I'm getting invited by levels 0, people with no friends or groups in common. Usually from guys with 1 or 2 free games. I have no played online in a good time and also dont have ANY valuable item > 1usd. Any idea why this happen?

Sure. What time were you thinking?

I was hoping that someone else would organize it, since I am pretty terrible at these things but I was thinking about Friday or Saturday night.

Also reposting for the new page

This CoD Sale really shows how FUCKED UP Activision are with their pricing:

(These are the AU Store Prices)

MW1: $24.99
Blops2: $44.99
Ghosts: $29.99 WTF?

Seriously, what the heck is with that pricing structure?

Disproportionate price cuts encourage sales for games that have historically sold at a slower rate. Conversely, titles that continue to have strong sales receive a much smaller reduction in price due to the fact that demand will make up the difference.

I was hoping that someone else would organize it, since I am pretty terrible at these things but I was thinking about Friday or Saturday night.

Friday is okay, but I will most likely be busy Saturday.


______________________________________


I just want to note:

Steam stats:

6,653 7,162 Divinity: Original Sin
1,886 2,143 The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition

These make me quite happy.
 
hmm it was in a bundle before - why did i miss that

It was the only game in the bundle's $5 tier and it was an obscure bundle site (Bundle Central) that had never done a bundle before or since.

Info
 
Awesome! I would imagine that these don't go on sale that often.

They actually go on sale quite a bit. I want to say usually 66% though, not 75%. I'll probably pick up the PvZ table, since that wasn't out yet when they did the Humble Bundle, and I do love me some PvZ.

Pinball Arcade sales are extremely rare though.
 
Hey jshackles, the latest idle master now checks the time that drops take right? Is there any place where you show the average drop rate for each game?
 
hey, ladies n fellas, is the THPS HD remake worth $2.49? i need a skating game in my life again, but i hear it's not that great.
 
Beware: Super House of the Dead Ninja has a tendency to delete your save file if you do not force close it once you're doing playing it, or at least it does on Win 8. It'll immediately reload a second session that doesn't read your save file once you exit, and it you close that second session the normal way it'll override your original save file.

Sucks, because that game rocks my jock but it's kinda messed up.

Ah I'm sorry to hear that. I've passed the message on to the programmer and he knows what the problem is, but it will take time to fix as we're busy wrapping up work on our next Adult Swim game. It'll be done when he has spare time though!
 
What tables are worth getting again?

For 75% off? Almost everything. I mean some of the earlier packs include a few duds but the value is mostly still great. Okay, okay. Plants vs Zombies, the Star Wars packs, Ms Splosion Man, Earth Defense, Super League (if you don't hate football that is) and Epic Quest. Stay away from the Core Pack, Rome, Biolab and Secrets are among the worst tables imo. Also cool: Paranormal, Mars and Excalibur. Now I haven't mentioned any Marvel tables, reason is they blur a bit together for me, I would need to play them again before saying something.
 
JaseC do you play a browsergame called cybernations?

Cause I noticed someone started an alliance called Saoirse in it :p

Haha, can't say that I do, but "Saoirse" is Irish for "Freedom", so it fits. ;)

Try again in one hour or more.

It's half an hour at first, but if you hit the threshold again within half an hour of the restriction being lifted, then you have to wait an hour.
 
Some Humble extras. Whoever wins Super House of Dead Ninjas will receive the True Ninja DLC via PM from me afterward. Happy Thursday!

I'm working on getting a site set up that will allow people to upload their idlemaster.log files so that this information can be collected. I wanted the process to be anonymous but asshats online are already threatening to spam any anonymous upload capability with bogus data to throw the results off.
