worth the upgrade.
Vanilla is fine, but the gold upgrade adds a ton of content.
Maybe! They're still making DLC so I probably have a minimum of 1-2 years before Civ 6 hits.
Huh, really? I think I misunderstood the way Humble shows their gift links. I assumed it would show something to show that they were already taken.
Now that I think of it, I did offer those to someone, but was unsure if they took it...
Very sorry for that! I'll try to keep track better in the future. At least Gemini Rue should be legit...I thought Arkham City was, but I guess I was mistaken on that, too.
I'll make it up by digging through my Steam Keys and do another giveaway!

Gemini Rue worked just fine.

Upgrade it. Totally worth it. Vanilla Civ V is boring.
Just being able to disable the demos before each benchmark is worth the money for whenever you get a new GPU and want to test it out.
Those demos are so long and annoying. Just bought it myself for whenever I get one of Nvidias new 800 cards.
Gold fixes a lot of problems with vanilla.

I've yet to pick up anything. And the way it's going I don't think I will. Feels weird not getting something during the sale. Holding out hope for a Splinter Cell Blacklist daily or flash deal.

It's not a bad idea, but considering the size of some peoples' backlogs, even someone with the best intentions of playing something may not get around to it for weeks, even months after receiving a game. Really, the best you can do is to put something out there and ask that whoever wins a game will actually play it, and hope they respect that at the end of the day.
FILE NOT FOUND
OK I've got a pretty decent lightning raffle here, I think. Mostly "older" stuff but relevant. I am 95% sure these steam keys work, they are either from humble bundles or Amazon purchases, or god knows what. I think I've kept a pretty good Google Doc of all of them.
Hopefully I don't screw anyone else! Sorry again for the humble bundle snafu

I love exploration games including ones with no gameplay, but Proteus bored me to tears. I found Dear Ester to be quite engaging through its story and exploration, but Proteus really had not a whole lot worth exploring.

Ha! Yeah I fired up Uplay just to see if they were doing anything. I kind of want to get the old Splinter Cell games for the PC.

I always told myself I'd sell some of those keys, but I've got to the point that I don't know what was Humble Bundle, what was Amazon, etc. and it's not really morally right to sell Humble keys (or it's outright banned in some marketplaces). So, that giveaway might not be the last (Probably the last for tonight, but I have a lot of keys saved up from old bundles and sales)

Thank you very much.
it'll probably go to $15 (-75%) before the end of the sale.
Edit: Oh my bad I thought you meant Bioshock infinite by Bio 3
didn't realize there was actually a 3 pack.Sgt.Pepper

Man, it feels weird when you don't feel like buying anything. Kind of refreshing...
Just bought the Civilization V: Korea and Wonders of the Ancient World - Combo Pack to bring my version of Civ V up to the Gold edition, but on enhanced steam it looks like this:
Just like how the GOTY version of Dead Island doesn't show one of the DLC as owned on the Steam page, but present in the DLC category under properties of the game.
I wonder if this is all a ploy to get forgetful people to rebuy stuff over and over
And the page for the Civilization V - Wonders of the Ancient World Scenario Pack shows like this:

not really, but it's annoying.

No worries Lexxon. Good giveaway!
Cheers, Tony actively pursues larger discounts, though he's not always successful (Activision games come to mind).

started up gemini rue, seems very interesting, noirish which is what I have heard.
If you try to buy it, it'll stop you at the last step. Sort of a known issue, and known annoyance.
The dark secret of Steam sales is that you can many times find better prices on other sites that still give you a Steam-redeemable key.

Morning fellow SteamGaffers, what should I vote on the community pick?
So true, particularly in the last two years. GreenManGaming and Amazon go through waves of having insane deals, sometimes on newly-released games. You usually can't beat GMG's % off codes for brand new games (like I buy those anymore! Backlog D: )
EDIT: Oh yeah, and Humble, too. Bundles were already crazy, but now that they have sales on games, AND you get DRM-free in some cases...very hard to beat their deals, like Gone Home for $5 the other day.

Thanks for The Last Remnant, Lexxon!! Been on my to buy list for a while but never got around to it.

Legend of Dungeon
PLAY DAT GAME. I loved Alan Wake. I didn't get into the "sequel" XBLA title American Nightmare nearly as much, just didn't have the same vibe, but I really enjoyed my playthrough of the original. Haven't revisited it, either, even though I own it on PC.

Yeah, it never hurts to check Green Man Gaming, Humble, and Amazon before jumping on anything on Steam.
Legend of Dungeon.. it could use some more players, graphics are nice, and it's a decent price.
Proteus is a hit or miss exploration game.. not bad, but its been in bundles before.
Not idea about the other one, but it seems like the kind of game that needs more players, so it'd be decent near launch.. so play it quick if you get it, presumably.

Will do. So American Nightmare isn't worth it, then?

Totally Legend of Dungeon - the devs deserve the support.
I wouldn't say that, necessarily. If it's still available in my giveaway (editing is lagging a bit but I haven't got a receipt?) I'd say try and grab it. I really should go back to it and give it another shot, I gave up maybe 1/3 of the way through. Reviews were kinda mixed if I remember correctly.
EDIT: Reading one of the metacritic user reviews (yeah, I know, I know) reminded me of what my issue was with it. Story. Just couldn't get into the story like I did with the original. Gameplay felt fine.
Thanks!!!! Feel guilty playing this game without paying after seeing those dev pics!
It's worth picking up on the cheap as the game mixes up the combat a bit by expanding the enemy type palette and there is an overarching story to it (though nothing overly important in the grand scheme of things). The game was obviously hamstrung by the XBLA size limit, though, so the campaign is comprised of three rather small areas that you play through thrice and the quality of some of the textures is, uh, less than stellar.
