During my last CS:GO match (which I totally owned, btw), I received the cutest message ever: "copons yous just a fucking camper wish you die of caner fucking noob" (literal quote or something)
Oh, now that someone wished me to die of "caner" I feel I finally entered my adulthood.

I've been enjoying my caster run a lot more than the str or dex runs in DkSII.
999 is SO good.

Sorry to hear, did you use a VPN to exploit regional pricings?
Hope everything gets solved.
I have to replay that series soon! I played 999 when it first came out, so fun! I might have missed one of the bad endings.
The refunds showed up on PayPal out of the blue, but PayPal said it was on Valve's end, so I'm not sure what happened!

Steam customer service is really slow. Was there any payment problem via Paypal? Like not enough money to make payment?Valve randomly refunded the last three gift purchases I made on Steam and then banned my account!
I'm guessing you've noticed that even F2P games for which you bought DLC are no longer in your library? That's easy (if a little cumbersome) to fix:
1) With Enhanced Steam installed, visit the store, click the search button without entering anything, then select "Free-to-play" as the genre and DLC as the content type
2) Open in separate tabs the DLC you own
3) Use the DLC tabs to navigate to the games' store pages and install them (you'll need to click the button twice; once to attach the licence and again to get the install window)
4) Start downloading the game then immediately delete it; the game will remain in your library as before
Additionally, the following F2P games have been pulled from Steam:
If any of them ring a bell, or if you want to be thorough, search for them on SteamDB, use the provided install link (again, you'll need to click it twice) and repeat step four above.
Edit: Oh, if your issue is payment-related, then never mind.

Dafuq? Just went to GMG for their encore 50 games etc. to get Thief II. It's only 1,74 and with the 50% voucher code that'd be only 0,87 !
But on the game's page it says out of stock?! How can that be? I thought they only sell keys (it says it's a steam game).
Now I sit on my 1,24 GMG credit, waiting for a good deal..

To The Moon --MB-58C08FB0BD9CC1DF- Taken by Helmholtz. 1 entrants total.
A very good story-driven and emotional game.
They buy a certain number of keys as would a physical store buy a certain number of physical games.
They didn't buy enough keys and now they are out.

I wish I could go back in time and slap Yahtzee the day he decided to coin the PC master race phrase and publish it in a video.
It happens. They ran out of Dishonored GOTY keys a few days ago too.
Now, what's this about a 50% voucher?

The only thing remotely sketchy I did was use dispenser.tf, but I bought the keys on Steam's market! I did move from the UK to the US, though, and three transactions they refunded were from after I moved. :X I hope it doesn't have something to do with that, because that might be a mess to sort out!
I hope so, too! Watch my entire wish list go on sale while I can't use the Steam store, lol!
They are! And not very helpful sometimes; they usually just copy and paste a response.
The payments were fine on PayPal, and I used money straight from my PayPal account wallet more than a month ago. Weird!

Slightly off topic, does anyone know why the Reddit Software Swap doesn't have Windows keys anymore?
The funny thing is that the first time he mentioned it was a bit tongue in cheek about the cumbersome control scheme for The Witcher. Of course as anything without context on the internet it spiralled out of control. Like most things on the internet I just let it fly over my head, that and it's a banned meme on GAF so anyone using it should watch their step.

Oh snap, it's only 20%. You can have it if you want.
I didn't know they buy x amount of keys upfront. Always thought these resellers work in concert with steam as in at every purchase from a resellers, they take a key from steam.
So, what happens when a reseller buys too many keys and can't get rid of them? Do they just have a huge stash of unredeemed keys?
I'll add that to my ticket!
I wonder why some of my games are gone, too. :X The only ones I've noticed are The Wolf Among Us and the Blackwell series. They're no longer in my library and when I go to the store page, it doesn't say I own them anymore.

I suppose it's not really his fault. The blame lies with the gaming community that latched on to it and propagated it as a meme. And there are those who use it unironically without having the slightest bit of self awareness as to the genesis of the phrase in the first place. It's not a flattering comparison to make :|
They have 80% off sales
Stores that are officially affiliated with publishers don't buy keys -- unlike physical games, there are no added costs involved with, say, sending someone an e-mail. This is why digital sales have to be publisher-approved; no money changes hands until after a transaction has completed (Valve pays publishers monthly, for example).

Played it the other day. Let's just say it wasn't my prettiest moment in the forum. Ha ha!
You are lucky this wasn't a real spoiler, or else I would have been forced to cry and feel sadyou'll have 999 problems but enjoying it won't be one of them
That's what I wanted to hear! I was tempted to grab VLR on the 3DS eShop, but it didn't feel right without having played 999 first. If everything goes well, I'll be able to do it soon.
Eight times in a single month? Damn, that's a lot!
And he died during the fight for Devon.
But got replaced by somebody much, much better.
Some dude in a discount Elrond cosplay?
But nice diplomacy stat
I think it's quite funny when it gets used, which is mainly as a pejorative term, it's aimed at most who join in a conversation and mention they prefer to play on PC, or played that version, or are looking forward to a version on PC later on. Even more so like the 'PC' is one specification, operating system and scope of device and not a massive range of options, configurations, OSes and preferences. You'd hardly call a netbook user at the forefront of chasing tech but some are competent enough to play some good looking games. Even hardware from 5,6 years ago isn't totally dead in the water now and still can chug along recent stuff with settings dialled right down (providing you're not intolerant to lower resolution, framerate and lower quality graphical settings).
Anyone declaring that is there preference the selves? Well I guess that's there prerogative but I find it a bit silly. Than again I would probably point them in the direction of a few history books from the 30's and 40's and see what they think after that.
lol, Elrond cosplay.
It's highly likely that this one was found in a cave too, as he came into power through elective succession.
And anything was better than the last guy.

Well I knew the game had multiple endings going in. So after finishing it the first time, I started it again and made different choices but got the same ending. Then I played it for the third time with different choices again and still got the same ending. That's when I said fuck it and checked a walkthrough to see what choices I should make to get the remaining 5 endings
Subsequent playthroughs are much faster than the first time around because you can skip all the dialog you've seen before. My total playtime at the end of it all was a few minutes shy of 30 hours.

I think I've seen a record number of stupid posts on Gaf today in response to the PSN outing.... geez.

In other server news are the CSGO servers still messing up for any of you? Played a game not too long ago where the actual gameplay was fine but the voice chat was very choppy so our team couldnt communicate.
Also booted up Civ V for the first time this morning and played for about an hour. I didnt have a clue what was going on but it was fun

I was saying to a few folks at work that this year has been quite quiet of the 'hacking' and skiddies front. So I might have jinxed that hahaha. Then again schools and colleges are still on break so I guess I was only a matter of time some of them would get bored and get up to there usual summer tricks again. Same shit every year, it's not like it's a new phenomenon, it's just requires a lot less knowledge and programming (or none even) these days to achieve with prebuilt tools galore out there these days.

I had fun with it, a very solid action game.
The bullshit colour coded enemies that broke up the flow of combat for me were about the only damp spot so far. Yeah sure Donte isn't Dante but I'd say it's Ninja Theory's best game. From a mechanical point it's head an shoulders above Heavenly Sword and Enslaved. I do prefer the story and characters of Enslaved but I've finished that were as I'm only halfway through DmC so that might change. Plus Donte started to warm on me about 5 chapters in (I think I'm going to regret saying that). The Virgil DLC is meant to sort out the problem I had with the combat to a certain extent too.

DmC taken on its own is a good action game especially for people who just want a normal Playthrough. Still I can understand the fanbases disdain towards it.
Still need to play the Vergil DLC at some point.
Makes me curious what the future of the series is.
