Metal Gear Rising for $20 is incredible.

Yeah, it's nice to see that sale on a game that isn't released until next month.

 

[Grief.exe]

Voted for FTL

The problem with the voting system in its current implementation is the popular games that will see constant daily deals will always get picked.

That price point for FTL isn't even that good.

How...how the hell did I deal with SC Chaos Theory on PSN for so long? Holy shit, playing on PC is like 100x's better. Load times are super fast, zero lag or framerate issues, and of course the visuals are just an huge improvement over the PSN version. Just have to learn the keyboard controls

Is Spies vs Mercs still active on PC?

Is Chaos Theory on the PS3 based on the ps2 version? If so, I think the level layouts are different.

ARSTOTZKA ADMISSION RESULTS

APPROVED:

• Anustart, with a wonderful passport and matching entry permit. (is that a penis?)
• Jørdan, who also provided fingerprints. Well, 4 of them, at least. Also 2003-GOTY seems like a legit passport number from the country of Morrowind.
• Boss Doggie, whose passport looks a bit too modern for a traditional and conservative country such as Arstotzka... His badge of authenticity though makes me confident this doggie will abide by our strong values.
• Rickenslacker, who looks badass and pissed-off; ++ for the passport reference
• woo and indeed hoo - I. cannot. refuse. modbot. mind-control. too. strong.
• intheinbetween, whose alias identity 'Max Powerful' looks super chill (probably because his job is dope)
• kulapik... this was a tough decision, as I'm afraid romulanmania will take over our Glorious Motherland, but the expiration date and origin country made me laugh
• Ogedai_Khan, with an obvious choice. Totoy Martillo is evidently an a-ok dude.
• corrosivefrost, who presented maybe my favourite passport out of all the entries and also sent in a little explanation - the photo is actually of his two dogs, Jake and Peanut, disguised in a trenchcoat awesome entry and awesome dogs.
• MakeshiftChef, with a simple but elegant passport, and some truly spectacular line drawing skills
• The_Monk, who gave a passport which initially didn't seem noteworthy... but on closer inspection... HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
• Jawmuncher, with the most colourful passport and some excellent font choices (but yet another Romulan advocate is let into Arstotzka! This does not bode well...)

DENIED:

• Cheddahz, sorry dude, you almost made it
• chronomac, such an asymmetric stache cannot be accepted into our Glorious Nation
• yoshizzle, why so serious? too serious...
• AsylumX, this is just something that popped up in a google search I assume so I'm not even gonna comment further

Thanks to all for your excellent entries! I'll send you your keys as soon as I buy the games Don't hesitate to remind me if you see the game on sale somewhere and I haven't noticed haha

GLORY TO STEAMGAFISTAN!

Woo! I won! I really liked seeing everyone's entries.

 

[Articalys]

Hadn't bought anything in a very long time before the Thanksgiving sale, so I'm still locked out from buying/selling cards until near the end of this one. Ah well.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

I don't know what got into me. I just purchased 8 cards for $4.89.

 

[hohoXD123]

Eh, they raised the price Dishonored. Was it a misprice?

Edit: oh, back down now. Weird.

 

[Divius]

Yup. Most people already have it, and it's been in a humble bundle iirc. Oh well, whatcha gonna do

 

[rockx4]

lol, damn, that could have been used for a game!

 

[Yoshichan]

75%
7,49€

What was it before?

 

[yoshizzle]

Eh, they raised the price Dishonored. Was it a misprice?

Shows the same price for me ($7.50 reg, $13.59 goty)

 

[Kinyou]

"GO GO GO!"

In like Flynn

 

[KenOD]

Is there any other place where you can purchase The Stanley Parable aside from Steam? I haven't seen it on either Amazon or Humble Store, so I guess this daily is as cheap as it will get.

Steam is the only place and this indeed the lowest it's been. Remember to get and play the demo first before the full game, they are different.

[Vibranium]

It's sad how the meta game used to revolve around playing your games to get new games and has now become spend money to get cosmetics in free to play games.

I know, it's really bad. I want sale achievements and crafting back. Valve could still find a place for cards and cosmetic items.

Sometimes I get the impression the Steam team really doesn't really know what to do. I wish more people at the company would respond to fan suggestions and inquiries. They're almost like Nintendo in radio silence these days.

 

[Yoshichan]

I still liked yours damn it!

 

[hohoXD123]

Shows the same price for me ($7.50 reg, $13.59 goty)

Think they put the GOTY edition up on the front page very briefly.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Doesn't seem like I'm going to get those three cards for spending $30+

Nooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[arts&crafts]

$3.75 + 10% off with code "10thanks"

You get a Steam key as I bought it yesterday. Pretty fun game for $3.50

 

[Balehead]

Time to sell some junk and see if I'll get something with the money I may or may not make. Never been into this item/card-selling but might as well try it.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

I won't double dip on Metal Gear as I have it on 360 and all but I may just buy it for my best pal for christmas. Looks like the deal is only for 2 days though (at steam anyways). I wish I can hold a game in my inventory until christmas but I guess he'll get it a bit early.


..lol..I just got a Mini Motor Racing booster card..wtf..that came outta nowhere.

 

[chronomac]

I still liked yours damn it!

Thank you. I like my asymmetrical moustache!

 

[Servbot24]

Really hoping for Dust.

Is Monaco worth it for single player?

 

[Divius]

Man cards are selling quick. Some of my cards had been up at the market for a few weeks, but I just relisted them and they sold within a few minutes.

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

GLORY TO STEAMGAFISTAN!

Very nice!

 

[Grief.exe]

Yup. Most people already have it, and it's been in a humble bundle iirc. Oh well, whatcha gonna do

Fix the system.

Put all three contestants on sale during the voting process. The winner gets an extra 8 hours at that sale price.

 

[Salsa]

funds low

must farm cards

downloaded steam achievement manager

the end is nigh

$3.75 + 10% off with code "10thanks"

How far are you fellow GAFfer? I've read and watch some reviews and they said that the difficulty gets raised a lot and suddenly later on the game. I'm tempted but I don't want to face really challenges now. I'm still playing Dark Souls, my challenges are all going there.

 

[Toki767]

I need to download and install a lot of games to get more cards to sell.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Okay.

Decided on my hit list:
Typing of the Dead + DLC
CS: GO
Ballpoint Universe
DayZ
BL2 XMAS DLC
Scribblenauts Unmasked
Possibly Dishonored + DLC
Possibly Divekick
Possibly some software
Possibly Knock-Knock

Gifts:
Dust (hoping it on goes on community choice/daily)
Costume Quest
CS: GO
other misc. GAF gifts

Thanks for the contest, and thanks also for picking me! I've had an interest in the game since I first heard of it, but I just never got around to buying it so I'm pretty happy.

 

[derExperte]

No. You need SAM.

Not far, played only about 30min. Not too hard yet, but we will see.

 

[Widdly Scuds]

I've made $10 just from snow globes.

Thanks gabe.

Oh bummer, I didn't win

Oh well, it was still fun to do and it was great seeing all of the entries!

 

[Turfster]

No. You need SAM.

No, he needs steam_appid.txt

 

[Yoshichan]

I've made $10 just from snow globes.

@,40 each?

 

[Divius]

No. You need SAM.

How does with work for cards?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Anything I've left off the list, GAF?

 

[Liha]

Day 1:
DayZ
Batman
Metal Gear Rising

 

[Blablurn]

made a stupid mistake. steam sale began, bought revengeance for 18€. it said 33% off so i thought that was the correct price. now i see it way cheaper. asked steam if they can refund me the difference. i guess price wasnt updated. any info on how they deal with stuff like this?

 

[Jintor]

Any better deals on Batman Origins, Dishonored DLC or Typing of the Dead Overkill than the current Steam prices?

 

[RS4-]

Okay.

Typing of the Dead + DLC
CS: GO
DayZ

Nice list.

I think I'm just waiting for Papers Please, Valdis, Spelunky and Guac

 

[Widdly Scuds]

@,40 each?

When the snow globes turned into the holiday 2013 cards they were selling for well over a dollar.

 

[arts&crafts]

How does with work for cards?

Steam thinks you are playing the game when you run it through SAM, so card drops happen as long as sam is open on a game with remaining card drops.

 

[Turfster]

Anything I've left off the list, GAF?

Move Dishonored + DLC to definitely, and drop divekick like the 5 second one-note joke it is.

 

[Prophane33]

HAVE AT IT

Wow, that's a heck of a giveway. Much thanks.

 

[Lyonaz]

Wow Metal Gear Rising is cheaper on EU steam €13.39 than Amazon $20. Bought!

 

[pahamrick]

Any better deals on Batman Origins, Dishonored DLC or Typing of the Dead Overkill than the current Steam prices?

Amazon is going to have Batman for 20.

 

[Jmanunknown]

Any better deals on Batman Origins, Dishonored DLC or Typing of the Dead Overkill than the current Steam prices?

I do not think so.
