Really looking forward to Rebirth. Loved BOI so much, been holding off playing it for ages now so that I get that fresh feeling going into the remake.

You don't get to 3,000 steam games without collecting a few boxed games doe.

Sure, that's why I added "without the express purpose of ..." ;) It's no secret that I have quite a few physical copies of Football Manager, haha.
 
I'm back from the hospital.
Do I want to know how things turned out last night?

Hope it went well dude

wowwwww STEAM fucked up BIG TIME.

They listed The Witcher 2 first, then The Witcher 3, then The Witcher on my games list. so fucked up. Fix this Valve.

lol.

Not up to Steam, it's a Publisher thing. Steam does need to let me rename my games though.

Good morning y'all, happy 4th of July :)

you too dude!

Whoops, bbcode doesn't like random enters. Fixed.
Also edited my post further. Sorry, Sub-Zero.
No need to be sorry :p It's Gamersgate's fault since they were obliged to state that the game is not using Steam activation. Same shit with Gamefly and other sellers, only GMG seems to be clear on such things

That is different. Edmund is a god in the form of a man. I bought boxed Isaac, and boxed Super Meat Boy! Come on boxed Rebirth. ;)
Ooh, do you have the sweet giant SMB box with Meat Boy's face on the front? I really want that one but it appears to be so sold out you can't even find it on eBay anymore.

I wanted to buy both the Unholy and Most Unholy editions of Isaac but the first one appears to be just as gone as the SMB box. I'd like to get something Isaac-related from their store but it's is kind of strangely expensive considering Ed's pricing philosophy on games.

I'd have to drag it out, I think it's in a box in my closet.

As for the Isaac figures (if that's what you are talking about) it's because Danielle (and I think here mom) actually hand make them, so they do cost a pretty penny. I want to get one myself, probably will once the Rebirth hype train leaves the station. By the way where is mah Mewgenics?!!

actually gamersgate never omits to mention if a game is for steam or not, not even once I noticed them being unclear in that regard and I used them for years.
Also true that they don't bother acquiring steam keys for drm free games if available.
 
Does anyone actually want these Origin keys?

Kind of OT, but there isn't a general GAF gaming thread. Was wondering why this thread was locked.

I'll admit that I don't care much but just didn't understand the reason, as plenty of threads are about listing things (such as the 16-bit cityscapes, or the most swole characters thread for example).

List threads are generally discouraged because even despite the best intentions they tend to devolve into single-line/image posts that forgo engaging in an actual discussion in favour of just addressing the thread title.

I'm on a roll lately, just finished Betrayer. That's two out of my summer sale haul finished! Great stuff.
How long was it? I'm still undecided on my next game and that's one of the top candidates.

I'd have to drag it out, I think it's in a box in my closet.

Oh, I think you'd know. The regular edition is DVD case-sized, the big box is like a shoe box and it has a t-shirt in it (the famous one with just meat boy's face on a red shirt).

I know, I know, I just can't justify $40+shipping for a desk ornament.

The page does state that Steam isn't used for activation. In the production description, the DRM is listed as "See bundled products" and in that section SecuROM is mentioned.

It might be the particular mod that saw it or it might be a new rule. You should PM a mod if you want clarification. :p

Also this.

Yeah, it was my fault as well. Should have done some further research but I was too stupid to take Steam activation as a default since it was my first time buying from them. Hopefully they will cooperate

Yeah, like I said I took Steam activation as a given. There are many games that use both Steam and Securom so I didn't really pay attention to that

I absolutely have the regular one then. I was just trying to find it and I was not successful. I know my Isaac and Meat Boy boxes are in the same box somewhere. Now it's driving me crazy. :p

I just picked up Abyss Odyssey, Always Sometimes Monsters, and Broforce. I think I'm going to grab Shadow Warrior off of Amazon. I've got a lot to do after work.
 
I was playing Skullgirlz for the better part of last night, which I believe lead me to dream about playing VF5FS on Steam. I woke up and quickly became disappointed. My wife could see how grumpy I was when we were making breakfast and I told her why. She told me that I have problems.

You're normal, we really need more fighting games on Steam.

Yeesh seems the PC ver. of Corpse Party will use the original art which just looks pretty weak compared to the art in the PSP ver.

Speaking of which...anyone else temped to shop this NSFW art
With Milamber's avy on the dude and Gaben on the TV screen?

Yikes. I still don't get why you can't manually sort your game list

Valve may be working on this, actually:

Added sortas – Age of Empires III: Complete Collection
Added sortas – Alien Breed 1: Impact
Added sortas – Assassin's Creed 2
Added sortas – Assassin's Creed 3
Added sortas – Assassin's Creed 4
Added sortas – Saints Row 3
Added sortas – Tomb Raider 1
Added sortas – Tomb Raider 2
Added sortas – Tomb Raider 5

As far as Google is aware, these are the only apps that have the flag and they were all added a week-and-a-half ago. It could be referring to many things but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a way for publishers to set a default custom name for the app.

Ah, it seems I'm not the only one who couldn't think of a good account name when creating the steam account :D

Haha, yeah, all of the ones that came to mind were taken and I eventually entered "nofuckingidea" out of frustration. I didn't expect it to actually go through!
