This beggar just messaged me on Steam, saying that he is from Algeria and that it's hard there to get a credit card, so he wanted me to gift him a game. He says he got his 157 games buy begging.....
Anyone from Algeria who can confirm his story?

P.S: his profile says he is from GB...

Well in Africa, only South Africa can buy anything from the interenet using internet transactions, all the other countries including Algeria can't buy or sell or do any internet transaction by any means not even using paypal and I can confirm that.

I was having trouble connecting to steam through the client. The moment I put in my credentials and hit login, a connection error popped up almost immediately. I tried logging in via a browser and was successful and that somehow fixed my issue when I tried again via the client. Any ideas what happened here?

Seems like there was a rush on Steam's servers as everyone thought there was a new sale... problem is, they were an hour early.

man, the sales thread sure is slow for a big steam sale. I remember (in my time!) times where we had full new threads every day!

Is the non-event responsible? Or the Russian ban? Even the posts in community are barebones.

Probably because of how infrequent sale changes are. Community and Flash changed every 8 hours for the summer sale, didn't they? Then the daily deals every 24 hours, but they lingered the same 48 hours as now. It's just not as large a sale for it to have a full new thread. :c

Current haul:
- MGR:R
- Borderlands 2 goty
- Arkham City

Only 16€ to spend on the rest of the sale though, hopefully double-dipping on Borderlands 2 wasn't a mistake.

Yeah, the sale threads of last year are roughly 75% "The new deals don't interest me! This sale sucks!" :p

They weren't even that bad, either. Ah, well. 75% off is more than we're getting from even the most irrelevant console's selection at an EBGames. :lol

Ill have money to buy dark souls 2 but only after it goes off sale. Why have you forsaken me gaben.

Just wait few months until it's rereleased, no harm.

what dlc?

"This new PC version includes all three DLC missions: Blade Wolf, Jetstream, and VR Missions, in addition to all customized body upgrades for Raiden, including: White Armor, Inferno Armor, Commando Armor, Raiden’s MGS4 body, and the ever-popular Cyborg Ninja."

Right there on the store page ;P

Hey guys, I'm on the edge with Metal Gear Rising and I need someone to push me one way or the other. The thing is, I already have it for the PS3, but haven't played it yet, so I don't know if I should just play that and save my money, or go with the superior PC version that has DLC. What do I do? I have 20 minutes to decide.

What's the word on Hack and Slash? There's so many long bad reviews on the Steam page.

I'm loving it so far, but as I understand the "hacking" gets quite complex towards the end, so if that's not your thing you may want to avoid it. But if you love old style Zelda games for their puzzles as much as the combat, and have at least a tertiary interest in programming, I'd highly recommend it.

I do know some programming and that sounds kind of cool. Maybe I will bite. Thanks.

Killing Floor also has the best Lever Action Rifle in a game ever.
