My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I picked up Papers, Please. Why didn't anyone tell me about this game? So good.

I'm debating picking up Gone Home. My only "gaming PC" is a 2011 11" Macbook Air. So I'm not sure how well it'll run. Sigh. I should buy a gaming PC but with Steambox and Oculus Rift around the corner, I feel like I should wait.

Quick meta question: does ModBot edit giveaway posts even in locked threads?

Just curious.

I... Actually don't know.

One day... For science. But maybe, as I think ModBot has mod privileges. And mods can edit and post in locked topics. So I would assume so.
 
First time with ModBot(i like to giveaway directly by steam but i have a lot of steam keys and here are very good people). This it just a try(but is a real key) Tomorrow i post like 30 keys or something like that.

Thanks dude.

I got a copy of RE5 and Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY I'll try to Modbot tomorrow.

The Steam equivalent of the drunk friend who keeps offering to pay your tab all night.
Just realized the Lego games for Star Wars and Indy are never going to have decent sales again because Disney gonna Disney :(

Was STILL having my doubts about biting on Papers, Please right now instead of waiting for 75% or an inclusion in a humble bundle, so I went and downloaded the free beta.

Played a bit, closed it.. and then RAN to the Steam store to buy it like my oxygen supply depended on it.
 
Hey guys, a couple of my friends and I are actually doing a huge 24 hour giveaway stream this weekend, as I don't want to link it in here for it to seem like a plug, if you want to know more about it just PM me!

I thought this was relevant considering we are giving away over 20 games that's been on sale and that a lot of people love.

Not this sale yet I think, but I do believe it was on sale recently. I at least recall a lot of people talking about it somewhere in the last few weeks as it was on sale. I think it was a mid-week sale.

It was 75% off during the Autumn Sale.

It controlled fine, I just wasn't really feeling the game's structure or art style. Beat 1 room, head back to a menu and select another room. Why am I doing that? I like platformers too. That game was just far too newgroundsy for me.

Yeah I hear that. If a game just starts off rubbing you the wrong way, it can be pretty hard to change your mind on it.

I like the structure for how quick and lean it is, but I agree if you're into the Donkey Kong Country/Rayman style adventure-ish platformers, SMB is pretty barren.

Still such a fast topic~ One more posting for the night of the Giveaway, will post again in like 10 or something hours. But hope you all have a horror-licious holiday~

Soon I will be in a location where the fastest internet speed is 26k and not a stable connection to be found, so it will be quite horrific as I may miss out on any sales and fun posts on NeoGAF.

So in case I don't see who wins, a thank you for such a fun and interesting giveaway. Hopefully those who have glanced over it took the time too look up some of the lesser known titles. In case I win, I look forward to coming back home and playing a frightful title, hopefully a Cold one.

I just wanted to send out a huge Thank You to everyone doing giveaways. It's so rad to see people doing this.

Aye, even when it's Bad Rats to see, tis a wonderful think so many do to help spread joy, awareness of a game or developer they like, or just something to liven things up.

Edit: Oh now I want to give something away, but I lack the ability to get any keys to share. Still, all the same, a game for all to download for free and enjoy.

Click this for a classic game. It's not Bad Rats.

Anyone have a list of the odd stuff that is on sale but never advertised. Usually every sale there is one really good sale that goes under the radar. Also there are a few games that are not on sale that make no sense. Anachronox is not on sale at all and it makes no sense to me. Sell that game for a dollar and you will be making more money than whoever owns the rights is making right now.

I bet 99.9% of bad rats' revenue comes from the big sales. Fucking stupid that some games aren't discounted.

It's not much, but here's a little something to give back to the community.

So finally IndieGala replied to my email, and provided me with a profile link where I could set a password for my account and claim my games.

Interestingly you can unclaim your own account, presumably so you can give it to someone else maybe.

Added the full version of Teleglitch to Steam, so yay.

Don't hurt me but I think all raffles should be 15min, seems like more than enough time. The generosity is amazing, but it gets a bit tiring seeing most of the posts in the thread dedicated to giveaways with people constantly reposting their 3h and 24h ones for visibility (and/or praise), and then a bunch of people replying to each of those reposts.

It's Christmas during a steam sale. The giveaways will thin pretty quickly after today.
