Oh man, I just saw JaseCs "giveaway" on Griefs twitter feed. Holy balls. I won't enter, but biggest props. I don't even share my steam library with my brother since I'm afraid he would trigger a ban or something heh

Oh wow, a Bastion booster pack just arrived in my inventory.
Now to decide to sell or unpack. This is gonna be a looong night...

I'd just sell. The best thing you can get is a foil, right? If so, might as well sell and make a bit more than selling 3 cards individually, unless you're feeling lucky.

I like fun, too, but something something be the change you wish to see.


You might be limited to one unclaimed gift pass per email at a time? But you should be able to trick the system by sending them to something like:
heroprinny@gmail
h.eroprinny@gmail
he.roprinny@gmail

Etc. The . in the middle doesn't change where it goes, but it's different enough for Steam to be okay with it.

Won't help if the gift passes are not able to be emailed.
The 6 that booster troopers gave me had this restriction... I ended up begging people to take them off me in trades and such to get them out of my inventory.

People say sell and in my opinion if the amount is a sizable chunk greater than the average of three cards from that series sold separately, then sure, but if the difference is negligible, open them. Cause however low the odds are, as someone will surely point out to you, your foil chances are zero if you sell it. ;)


Basically a foil is a foil is a foil
 

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
and isnt that over by now?

Half an hour to go. The winner will probably have to wait a while as it doesn't end until 3am here and so I honestly can't be bothered going through the PC authorisation process just yet, haha.

did anyone on Gaf besides Xelios and the Koalamonster have the 2K badge?

Valis (hasn't posted in over a year) and textonly (pops in on the odd occasion to mention a deal) come to mind.

San Andreas is the only GTA game I've played since 3 that I didn't actually finish. I was so PUT OFF by the fact that when I returned to the hood that all the territory I had claimed was no longer mine and I was looking at redoing them all again. I just said "this ain't worth it" and sold the game.

I don't really remember any of those, lol, I remember SA has a lot of random stuff and I just got burned out at some point, I really liked vice city though

Oh, it may have already been posted, but Indiegala's giving out free keys for

What's the cooldown between winning games again, 15 minutes or so? Looks like someone stocked up on Bad Rats to guarantee their winning of Killer is Dead

can you imagine the winner getting banned the moment he won? never ever receiving the code to JaseC account?

Haha, the key I used isn't an actual key -- it just spells "We'll talk about it". PC authorisation is a hands-on process.

Alright after a meta derail about is the thread moving too fast, which in turn made the thread move faster here's some actual Steam news.

Many moons ago all the Steam mascots, Cyl, Tappet and Roderick (and the other 3 no one cares about) all got profiles and were about a bit on Steam and with their own Groups. The accounts haven't been online in ages, I mean like 3 years ago or longer but I just noticed this...

He was online 21 hours ago! Also why haven't you accepted my friend request Sir Roderick? :(

Also an anonymous benefactor giving away 15 mystery keys? Yeah we all know what that means.

Doesn't the winner will have to give you their lock and key for their account? As far as I remember you have to login from the same computer at least once to achieve that. It would be quite a plot twist if JaseC were to grab that random account with a message, "Don't be greedy" left in its place?

That sounds logical...
...unless you're feeling lucky.
..and i'm feeling lucky!
...
I wasn't lucky.

But apparently Bastion's cards go for around 0.14 a piece and the booster pack for 0.32, so it's still a succesfull gamble. ^^
Seven steamcents are still money, y'know.

lol, the bad luck would be off the charts. But can't you still read PMs while banned (I've never been banned, so I don't know)? Or are you talking about a perm?

I think we need an ambulance on standby though, someone here is about to have a heart attack in less than 30 minutes.

or at the very least do this.

Check any other offline people on your Friends list. It's probably a bug.

I'll just leave it, I have a friend who's interested to play it anyway and I shared my account with him, I just don't know how to explain buying the game I wasn't going to play, lol
