Important question (well important for giveaways... so the MOST important lol) about 4 packs, since I can't buy one if I have the game, if I gift it to my email, would it give me 4 links for the 4 games, for ModBot purposes? I hope I'm explaining that right :/

Oh, the GAF santa came to my house tonight.

Thanks for the gift, Nuez! You're an awesome dude.


Merry Christmas, everyone. :)

Sadly, this will be the case. People seem to be blindly voting on the lowest price, without actually looking at the store pages for the games at all.

That's the problem with democracy, really. We need El Presidente to step in and tell us what games to buy.

You can't buy four-packs as gifts, either, but there is around around this, however the pack will be a single inventory item until it's activated by somebody, at which point one copy will be tied to their account and three spares will appear -- there's no other way to split a four-pack.

So, there I was, purchasing copies of Super Hexagon for a bunch of my friends when I got hit with this error:
There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.
Click to expand...

I don't think it's an issue with my card because it won't let me proceed with PayPal either. I already submitted a support ticket but am aghast at the idea that I won't be able to buy anything for the next few days because they're probably out of the office.

Any ideas or experience? This was all through my browser so I don't think deleting the .blob file will do anything.

edit: is there any way to know if getting Steam Wallet cards for the next few days will bypass this error?

Which trackmania 2 is the best one? I loved the original Trackmania but have stayed away from this one due to splitting it up. I figure at this price I'll give one of the 3 locations a try.

That's what I feared, if I want to gift a 4pack I need to trust the first person will then gift the other 3 to the correct people... Hmph I say sir, Hmph!

Super Hexagon is a scheme by Terry in which you pay to simply get ready for this and this.

Another beautiful level in Open Hexagon, beautifully designed and amazing music - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIwpz3KOhGU

Can't forget about the Fusion level either - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1VTYSEzgI

So yeah, forget paying even chips for Super, Open is a far more balanced and superior game and it's totally free. Plus, this game was actually specially calibrated for keyboard/controller users rather than Super which stemmed from iOS.

Hmm, does this run at 120hz?

It's not a problem on your end, so spare the .blob. When you buy lots of games, especially, when you are buying them as gifts, it raises a flag that maybe your account has been hacked and the perpetrator is using it to drain your funds by buying gifts for people, and this puts a hold on your purchases.

I don't know how to get that hold to go away. I've always submitted tickets for it, and gotten back useless "delete .blob" advice, but it does go away. Probably when someone reviews it for fraud prevention.

Sorry that doesn't help any.

God dammit.

Any idea if I'll be able to make purchases using my Wallet?
I guess I'll try adding money to it.

edit: nope.
Shit.

Finished Asura's Wrath (PS3) the other day, that was a weird ass game lol. For a game that had little gameplay, the framerate sucked a lot though. Speaking of which, we need more Capcom sales on steam on the next sale change, Gaben pls.

has anyone played LEGO Marvel Super Heroes?
how's the co-op?

Thinking if I should get the WiiU version instead... hmm
Click to expand...

I played it on PS4 but not co-op. If you've played any lego games before you can expect the same but outside of missions there's an open world full of a variety of things to do and "puzzles" to solve to unlock new characters and gold bricks. It has surprisingly decent production values compared to the other lego games and there's a nice amount of characters that do different things.

Is the story mode in Injustice as long as the one in MK (and with the same cut scenes and whatnot), if so I might pick it up for 20 at GMG

Yeah, you can't do anything when you buy a suspicious number of gifts in short succession. I appreciate that it's for your protection, but it doesn't suck any less when you lock yourself out.

You submitted a ticket? Just wait it out, maybe half an hour or so? It's never lasted too long when I got locked out.
