STEAM | December II 2014 - A thread for people who don't like sale side posters.

Yes
I checked Steam to see if I had Arkham Origins and I started typing in "oranges" to find the game.
SteamGaf has ruined me, and I love it.
I will do my best to do a big giveaway next year!
How has that plan panned out? Disappointment or has the sale been kinder to your wish list?
Performance isn't worth the price premium unless you get it at a significant discount compared to the 850 Pro. Other manufacturer's SSDs, and the 840 series, are a better value otherwise.
*shrugs*
It's all about the degree of risk you're willing to accept. I'm less willing to take much risk since I'm willing to wait longer for region free keys from cheaper regions to be discounted at a certain level, where the difference between locked and unlocked is fairly marginal. For collectors (via the reasons you mentioned) and those that place a premium on playing it early, there's definitely incentive to use a VPN for activation, which makes it an attractive option.
That being said, you're completely right about key activation. Valve doesn't really care about using a VPN to activate keys, likely related to the fact that retails keys don't really earn anything on their end compared to steam store gifts. It's significantly safer as long as you're willing to do the legwork to make sure you're not activating anything that's runtime restricted. I'd still never recommend it or use it personally, though admittedly that might change now that I can't get access to russian gifts, but for the sake of completely transparency, it's not something that's actively dangerous.
If you don't really care about VPN usage, you should probably go for Russian keys outright as well in lieu of Nuuvem. A good portion of the newer games released don't have onlyallowrun tags on the keys, merely purchase restrictions related to activation. Familiarize yourself with steamdb, it'll be a very helpful guide.
Merry Christmas everyone.
I have no fancy Christmas gif to post, so I am just going with only words
Merry Christmas!
The map is actually pretty small, so you should be able to find your way around it without having to draw a map yourself
If you do get lost though, someone uploaded a map on gamefaqs including item, exit and boss locations, that might help.---

Doesn't matter if you want to or not, that's what it's officially called.

I've heard that the gifts are randomly chosen games from the welcome packs.
So it should be one of the following:
Kung Fu Strike
Nosgoth Veteran pack
The Journey Down chapter 1
Cobi Treasure Deluxe
Numba Deluxe
Pixel Junk Monsters
Postal
Speedball 2
Victim of Xen

Okay.
New plan.
I could get Tales of Bordelrands and end up with only ten cents left, or I could get Lego Batman 3 + Lego Hobbit + Arkham Origins.
GAF, guide my hand in this time of crisis.

Get the latter. I rather get Tales of Borderland on Steam than put up with a Telltale key.
Good morning gaffers!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
also Big Thanks to WinterDemons <3
btw, here's the link to that Ubisoft promotion thingy, you get free ingame stuff it seems and a slim chance of winning the raffle http://uplay.ubi.com/#!/en-GB/events/uplay-15-days

I just rather have everything in one library if it means bypassing registering an account for something I don't want to register.
Yeah, those were the days.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
I have literally no clue how that happened, but I assure you no one other than me has the password to ModBot (mods don't need it for the moderation functions) and I didn't claim those games.

ModBot is rebelling! He's tired of spending all day giving out games.

There's a very simple explanation: Modbot is trying to gather games for the upcoming 52 games/1 year challenge.

Oh huh. Weird. So it's just mistakenly marking that it took it even though it's still properly distributing the codes?

Does ModBot appear in the giveaway receipt?
Yeah that episode was great, IMO old Telltale high point.

I actually didn't get one for the giveaway. They said that they won.
Metro Last Light Redux is not that different from the original version. If you have the original just skip it
