I've got $6.71 in Steam Card money if that helps. I won't get paid until Friday unfortunately so that's my limit. If you're still interested, PM me and let me know what to do.

I think if they registered the key, or if they bought it and chose to add it to their library, it's tied to their account.
I think Steam game sharing is going to be a future feature but for now, I don't think you can share without him lending you his full account.
Morning my good fellow GAFfers, did I miss something during the night?
I missed 7 pages while I was sleeping, I'm assuming something passed me by!

Hoping thats the case for me as well. I bought it last night on the flash sales, and I am looking forward to playing through it on a winter night. That being said, I couldn't stand Dear Esther it was bland and frustratingly slow. I am the type of person who will walk in games like skyrim, or slowly sail the oceans of AC4 because of how beautiful it is but Dear Esther didn't inspire any awe. So the comparison between the two makes me a little worried.
It's Assassin's Creed 3, so not really.

Gone Home on flash sale is the big thing right now.

Dear Esther is a very passive experience. Gone Home is not. I appreciate there are some similarities but they're very different on an interactive level. Gone Home was a really nice experience, going in knowing nothing and having very little expectation.
I don't want to derail to far into this argument, but Gone Home doesn't fall into that "not a game" category at all. In fact it utilizes the game as a storytelling medium far better than Dear Esther.
The gameplay is exploring and piecing together the facts of these characters by rummaging through the objects. If it were not a game, you would have all of that dictated to you exclusively in the same way that Sam's journals are. Instead it's about exploration and noticing small details in the objects around the house, and putting the story together yourself. I love the way the game shuts up and just lets you read and be observant as you discover stuff about the characters, especially the parents.
Gone Home is the exact opposite of "not a game" in that sense. It uses gameplay to actually tell its narrative, and you wouldn't be able to tell a story like this without it being interactive.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Hnnngh.
I'm on a tight budget, but I couldn't resist Gone Home. Bought.
Quick, first impression; Papo & Yo's controls are a bit weird, really sensitive, but the game is really atmospheric and looks quite good. Intriguing.

Hold on a minute! Who the heck could write "hate" about GAF's friendliest member?! :/Hum, trying to catch back by last post and it seems that what I missed was not Gone Home but a random member showing some sort of (pointless) hate towards myself that is now banned...?
Why...
Big thanks to Cth for the assist. Now I just need another kind insomniac to help me out with WWTBAM + DLC and then I'll really be done with the sale.
Just so you know, I'm not ignoring you; I'm just waiting on my trader guy to send me some stuff ($72 worth of games for $37? God bless Russia).

Ween has a habit of spewing out dislike for people randomly. Has done it to me and many others. In fact, it was his tag lol.
Ignore it.

If you don't see me in your list, then I accidentally clicked ignore, haha.

It was out of the blue and uncalled for and it obviously got him the axe. Just ignore it and remain your usual upbeat polite self.
LOL. It's okay. Just take your time
I'm sitting on 2,110. Above me are Valis on 2,171 and
On a related note, I made a big dent in my list of licensed stuff:
All but a few of the remaining games, which I'll pick up in a few weeks, are/will be too recent to see a decent discount this year (or one at all).
You might as well wait for the winter sale and see if Amazon does a better deal.
It's just, it was out of the blue. I don't get these people with their pointless random hate towards others.
Either way, ignoring will be the best solution, that's for sure, it just kinda kills the mood to post in here... I did nothing wrong.
You speak truth, my good sir.
I've played it on and off and had no problems with it. Uses uPlay, which is a downside for a lot of people, but other than that it's fine.
On your list you have listed:
"Talisman: Digital Edition/Prologue"
Steam shows two versions, the Digital Edition and the Prologue.
Prologue is on sale right now for $1.74 (2 cents short otherwise I'd gift a copy). I've played it on the iPad and was considering double dipping on it this sale.
Digital edition is still $14.99, however.
Basically, solo versus multiplayer.
Just wanted to verify you wanted both.

Not actually that important

The Early Access version of the Digital Edition includes a free copy of Prologue so I'll just hope for a sale before the full release.

I remember someone looking for a big discount on FAR CRY 3 earlier in this thread?
It's $7.49 (Steam key) on Amazon.com (region free)

try the demo first it runs like ass on older systems (5+ years). don't think it was ever patched or optimized after release.
i got the xbla version - top 5000 last time i checked so im okay at it. incredible game but it needs a lot of precision to play it properly
Good game but it suffers from Ubisoft repetition, Blood Dragon is better.

Talisman Prologue was in the Indie Gala Colossus. I would have assumed you would have picked that one up.
