I created a lady, pledged allegiance to a kingdom, married some random count, the dude defects to an enemy kingdom, we cross each other in battle and I defeat him, capture him and sell him as a slave.

So I played some CSGO for the first time in months and I don't really know what is going on:

- I know there are item drops now. What items do you get though, and how long does it take to get a drop?
- Do you get any kind of shiny item for playing on Operation Bravo servers that you can sell on the market for extra Steambucks?

Anyone?

I get graphical glitches almost all the time, alt tabbing fixes them. But like in your case, they can be hilarious. I once got a glitch where some cavalry units on my side had invisible lances. It was interesting to see them ride towards the enemy and knock them all down with the sheer power of their mind.
 
If anyone is planning on picking up Deadpool, then I'd say only buy it if your a Deadpool fan. If your not, your probably not going to enjoy it. Mostly because it isn't one of the best action games out there. It kinda plays like Wolverine Origins, but the combat doesn't feel as good. The Deadpool game has guns, and the sword fighting is kinda floaty. Kinda like the hits don't have impact as much as I want them to.

What really makes the game good is Deadpool's dialougue, actions, and breaking of the fourth wall. This is probably one the best Deadpool representations I've seen in a long time.

There aren't any special Operation Bravo servers, it's just that to play the included maps on Valve's own servers, you need the pass. Owners of the pass receive special Operation Bravo crate drops when playing online in addition to regular ones, but you don't need to be playing on Valve's servers to receive them -- it's just a matter of owning the pass.

Edit: Actually, I was somewhat mistaken in regard to the bold:
Yeah, I misread the blog post:

Another addition to this Operation: weapon finishes. We’re shipping 31 new finishes as part of two all-new weapon collections with this op—one available exclusively as individual all-map weapon drops to Bravo pass-holders, and the other available to everybody as part of the Bravo weapon case, also available through timed all-map drops. (Pass-buyers will get Bravo case drops in addition to regular drops.)

I initially thought the bold meant that only pass owners get the Bravo case drops, but rather it seems that they have Bravo-specific drop slots in addition to the regular ones.

I'm 99% sure you can get a bravo case even if you don't own the pass.

How much was the pass during the recent sale?
 
Bought Fez this morning and I absolutely love it. Beautiful game that does a wonderful job of slowly ramping up the difficulty of puzzles and introducing new mechanics.

How good is Monaco? I know it got tons of praise before it launched but I haven't heard much talk of it. It seems extremely visually busy and confusing, but I also don't understand the mechanics yet. So what say you all?

Monaco is 100% worth playing with at least 2 other friends. Alone, or with strangers, meh, might as well pass.

I've had Warband for a while but I think this is going to push the game to the top of my to play list.

lol I just love how it's all so incredibly goofy and clunky that it's just hilarious on a regular basis

but the gameplay is super solid so it's just enjoyable from all angles

Does standard Warband have MP?
yes

Mount & Blade Napoleonic worth it?
it's mp only. personally I'm not a big fan but if you like warband's mp then I hear only good things about it

Passes don't go on sale officially (well, Payback was half off initially, but Bravo wasn't so I'd say it was a one-time thing to celebrate the concept's introduction), but you can just buy them on the market.

Edit: Apparently it's 99c at the moment.

Yeah, I know I'm setting the bar retardedly high, but once a videogame can get a scene and acting/voicing performances and cinematography like this. I'll be happy to sit back and watch with minimal interaction.
The intro scene with the villain's monologue in Far Cry 3 is a great piece of storytelling all around. The game unfortunately turns into a college boy power fantasy, but that first sequence was pretty chilling.

FEZ bought. Been interested in it ever since it was released, but not interested enough to pay the full price. This discount made it an easy decision.

it's never too late to start warband. it's the first game I install whenever I format my pc, it's just so much random fun, finding new things to do and just messing around.

I've been rich and I've been poor enough that I've had to wear a dress on one of my male characters because I didn't have anything else, I've sieged, traded, pillaged, everything. I've been a vassal and own land, or the kingdom's sheriff, and I've been also a bandit and a mercenary. it's really really fun and really dumb sometimes, I love it

also anyone that's buying warband, make sure to install either the floris mod or diplomacy. they both add a lot of cool shit to the game. I like diplomacy better because it's less stuff and it's a little less broken, but floris' got a shit ton of random crap to do

Ok, so I don't need to play on Bravo maps to get Bravo special drops. That's good to know. Now I can get back to playmodes I actually enjoy like Demolition and Arms Race.

Btw, the Bravo pass is $0.99 right now.

Ah, so it does go on sale.

When I got a Stattrack weapon I was happy, when I saw I could sell it for 0.30 cents I wasn't happy anymore. I'M NEVER BUYING ANOTHER KEY.

Haha, at least you didn't strike out as hard as that one GAFer who spent over $50 on Dota 2 International keys/crates in a failed attempt to obtain an unusual courier. ;)

Edit: It was liezryou and he lost around $100! (Exhibit A, Exhibit B).

This was recommended to me and I fell in love with it, so now I'll share one with you long time members.

Not a Steam sale, but just as good of a deal. Will need to get with an Indie Game Stand account, but it is a Steam code.

Oh why not. I'll also share it with Junior Members. Everyone deserves to play football with a monster. Again, Indie Game Stand account needed, but still Steam key given.

$400 on the market.
 
FC3: Blood Dragon isn't going to go down to $3.74 like it is on XBL right now, is it? I'd rather have it on Steam but that's a really nice price.

it's $1.32 more on steam. if you beat yourself up over it, you've already cost yourself $1.32 in thinking time.
