It's insane, I can't even reply because the thread keeps changing topics so frequently. I'm using the Neogaf Live Thread Chrome extension and there's like 10 new posts after every auto-update. I wish GAF had a slow mode posting mode like Twitch where you can only post a new post only once a minute or so to encourage more insightful and useful posts. I'm guessing that people are just spamming to get 5 posts for the no lurker giveaways.

Good lookin' out -- I have trouble recognizing you now that you've switched your avatar again.
It's that day of the week.

I complained about the exact same thing in the previous thread. I still don't own dragonborn because of this nonsense and I really want to own dragonborn.

Almost midnight here on the Best Coast, so it's quite late(early?) in the rest of the USA.
I can't sleep because I'm at my gf's parents house and it's so fucking hot in here and I'm on the couch and I forgot my pjs so I'm in my jeans and an undershirt.
This is an extra graphics card code I have no use for that lets you choose one of the following:
- Sleeping Dogs (Steam)
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Steam)
- Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon (Uplay)
- Dirt 3 (Steam)
I believe you need to make an account and enter the code here. I've never used one of these before either so I hope I'm not missing anything.

For those waking up, check the last few pages. A few great giveaways that are still open right now.
As long as MB-68971ADCE5C11FD2 is included in the message then you are fine
Yes. Name is optional.
Either way will work. ModBot just needs the code so it knows which key to grab.
Edit: I suck at posting.
To win it yes

I send just the codes without the game name, that works I don't know I imagine including the name shouldn't affect anything but I don't know.
ModBot said:Instructions for participants:
I am giving away 4 Steam keys. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line below that corresponds to the key you want (if you include more than one game, you will be blocked from entering).
Rules for this Giveaway:
- This giveaway is a LIGHTNING raffle. The winners will be selected by random draw 15 minutes after the draw was created. Any games not claimed after that point will be given away first come first serve.
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two:
Orcs Must Die! GOTY --MB-218017929FCDBEA1- Taken by Melhisedek. 7 entrants total.

Merry Christmas, SteamGaf. I know it's not much.
Though i am mostly a lurker in the steam threads i have been following them for a long, long time and they are some of the most pleasent threads on the board. Time to give back, i hope this works.

Doing it right. All you need to post I hear is the code part (starting with MB), but it works just as good if you copy the name part of the code of what the code is for.
It only gets funky if you enter more than one code in one PM, cause then it marks you as greedy and disqualifies you from that specific giveaway, even if it's a free-for-all like my current giveaway with DP. You just have to send the code individually PM by PM rather than just on one PM.
Title can be anything, just make sure the word register isn't in it or else modbot will think you're trying to start your own giveaway.
I`m on PST and installing System Shock 2 and my computer is running at snails pace. Its at 80% fluctuating between 80 kb/s to 160 kb/s. Every single website is running slow.
My laptop is brand new so it has somewhat decent power but could it be I`ve installed to many games? The last three days: FEAR 2, FF7, Hard Reset, L4D2, LIMBO, Serious Sam 1 and 2, Starvoid, Titan Quest and World of Goo. Is it Steam running slow, my ISP or my laptop? Either way once System Shock 2 installs in a few minutes finally, I`m going to uninstall the games I`m not playing and save them for later.
Though it's been suggested you try to appease, entice, or outright seduce ModBot. The effectiveness of these tactics haven't been confirmed as of yet, but some believe quite strongly that they do indeed work.
Well durring periods of very heavy traffic ,they can lengthen the cooldown periods between posts from 30 secs all the way up to 120 secs to prevent post spamming (not that it helps during events like E3 ) but i don't think the steamsales require such measures.
Thanks
Are you sure your ISP doesn't have a usage limit? If you've downloaded a shitload of games maybe you hit it and they throttled your connection.

Does he like ascii flowers? What is a suitable ModBot bribe/seduction purchase?
Seems to be some awesome LEGO deals on game.co.uk.

I can admit to sexting ModBot on at least one occasion, and on that occasion I won.

Trying to make a decision on if I want SRIV for $20, but I'm thinking no... not like it won't be on sale for cheaper at some point.
SO MANY GAMES.

NeoGAF already has an automatic throttle. Posts on NeoGAF must be 30-60 seconds apart. It's the volume of posters that drives the speed of the thread.

who is Emo-Beas?
Much thanks for Far Cry 3
. Hope to boot that up tomorrow and play it. I need to do a giveaway myself sometime now.Oh right, forgot to mention it expires this year so don't put it off redeeming it for too long.
You have an avatar of that girl that some people like in this thread so you got immunity.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
What is worse than Bad Rats though? Garshap?
As long as you're giving away an actual product and are upfront about what it is ("Mystery Game" giveaways aside), you'll be fine.
Must...play...3DS...

PC and 3DS is truly the winning combination.

Long as it's games and game redeemable stuff, it's all good. I will admit I have contemplated having an all Dinner's Date giveaway before and making a lot of small talk and pick-up line cringy jokes.
My next-gen platforms of choice for the foreseeable future.
Its difficult, at least currently, to argue in the favor of either a XB1 or PS4, but a 3DS is an easy choice.
PC and Nintendo (that includes Wii U) is the winning combination.

Faulty program! Now we have to disagree.
I have a 3DS that is looking at a long long time without a game to play on it unless I decide I want to play Project X Zone. But that's for another thread.
Thanks to NingenJanai for Arkham Asylum!
I'm still contemplating getting Skyrim. I had it on 360 and sold it when I got a decent PC, but then never bought it back. Not sure if it's worth paying near double for the Legendary Edition either. I probably wouldn't even make it to the DLC content any time soon. Hell I'm not even sure I'd play the game right away.

Also, my quick impressions of Dinner Date: If you've ever wanted to play a bread-dipping simulator where you wiggle your fingers around like a madman while listening to a British guy whine about his terrible sex life for 20 minutes, well I have the game for you!
Here's my early impressions of Castlevania Lords of Shadow. The port-work of it is great, it's a good PC port which gives me hope that Revengeance will also be a good port. However the game itself is quite mediocre. Combat is dull and boring because they only send out a small number of enemies against you in each encounter at a time unlike God of War and the combat feels more like Ninja Gaiden where you're encouraged to focus on one enemy at a time, especially when they start throwing small groups of large enemies that cannot be hitstunned. The level design is very weird, they have multiple branching paths that lead to your objectives but that means it's very easy to miss a key item you need to pick up and reach the end of the level without it and then it forces you to backtrack for it. This is very annoying for a God of War style game. Finally the cutscenes are also dull and boring as they are timed poorly and just loooooove to slowly pan over their landscapes and the dialogue meanders and never gets to it's point quickly.
tl;dr it's worth playing at $5 but there's an issue of whether it's worth your time playing.
