I seemed to get an extra copy of Gun Monky in my inventory along with the copy I activated. Weird lol

Yeah, the developer added a gift copy to the store and retail subs not all that long after the game released in what was ultimately a futile attempt to increase player numbers.

Why did you block me? I'm a sad panda :(

I'm just too lazy to redeem them myself even though I probably should.

I don't understand how you guys are winning so much to be donating so many.

I won one mastercard back when those were around, and it doesn't work.

I won a cable credit, chose the "later" option, and never actually got an email about it.

So GMG is doing a Humble 2K bundle DLC sale it seems.
  • Minerva's Den 75% off
  • Bioshock Infinite DLC 50-67% off
  • Mafia II DLC 75% off
  • The Bureau DLC 50-67% off
  • XCOM Enemy Unknown DLC 50-72% off
They also still have their 75% off Europa Universalis IV and DLC going.

P36EYA-K5JYKT-ABO7X9 for an extra 20% off
 
Ah, shucks. Probably grabbed by a non-gaffer. Entered so many giveaways and didn't win. Would have entered for it.

On another note. I've been listening to Hatoful Boyfriend OST since O'Dwyer made a let's play many months ago on gamespot. There's some catchy stuff:
散り逝くなら、いっそ残酷に ~By your hand
Death Note
Angel's Battle

I don't suppose anyone would like to gift me their extra copy of gun monkeys? I don't have a facebook account and i'd rather not make one.

I won many back when the contest first started. I'm guessing not many were participating so winning codes came easy.

It seems to be back to that since they took out prepaid cards as a prize.

I wonder if this will translate to anyone playing it.


I'd hope so. It's great to see him still out there trying to get up a population. I got the game a little while back and just installed it last night in an attempt to organize my backlog after a weekend of getting immersed in Dota and feeling dirty afterwards. I got it in a bundle a while back after the 2 for 1 thing started. If I recall, the game was also spitting out a free key to anybody waiting too long for a game. The developer has tried a few things like this that seem to be genuine attempts to get people to actually play the game, even if not pay for it.

Now that the 6$ MasterCards are gone, I just give the claim codes to morningbus.

If you make a dummy account now then you won't have to worry about asking for help the next time a similar giveaway comes along.

Damn those pizzas looked tasty and with that I have to make a pizza!:D Still hovering over the buy button on Wolfenstein on Amazon, after some tasty food I might finally press it.XD

Since the M&M money only works on cable bills now, morningbus is fighting the megacorps, trying to go so far in the negative that he causes a time fissure so he can go back in time and right all wrongs.
Of sorts, it's mainly a competition between SteamGAF and Morningbus's cable provider. The initial goal was to have 1 negative balance bill and now we're at 2 approaching 3 negative balance bills.
lol, this seems funny. I still don't know what that M&M thingy everyone was talking about some weeks ago is, but I guess it's some sort of voucher or code that comes inside the candy package.

Just buy it if you want it. Even Rhaknar keeps telling me it's amazing and I need to play it.

One Way heroics

Rating 9/10
What is it?
This is a turn based rogue game that has an isometric perspective. You have to constantly keep moving to the right because a darkness keeps creeping in from the left.

The Good
+ 8 Classes to fit your play style. Knight, sword master, hunter etc. Obviously each one has their own unique strengths and weakness along with their own stat growth rate.
+ Different modes offer players interesting new dynamics to the world. I.e Better weapons but harder enemies
+Different levels of difficulty. The easiest difficulty level stops at a certain distance, however the later difficulties can be much longer.
+ Lots of secrets to find out, giving the game a lot more depth than it appears to
+ Randomized Levels

The Bad
- The game can be frustrating, especially if you get a bad world generated.


Conclusion
This game is surprisingly addicting. At first it doesn't look like much but the more you play it the more it grows on you. You quickly realize that strategy is involved depending on the class your playing. The fact that you are forced to keep moving means you are going to have to make some tough decisions. Given the price point, this is probably one of the better deals you will find.

It's a SMS-based giveaway thing in the US.

Wolfenstein is much, much, much better than I thought it would be.
It's really rather amazing.

My personal favourite (at least of the chain delivery ones) is a Dominos bbq sauce base, with tandoori chicken, roquito peppers, sausage and red onions, although I just checked and now they do chipotle sauce, chorizo sausage and fajita seasoning as toppings too so I might have to experiment..

oh come on ... stop that immediately!! I'm getting soooooo hungry here ; _ ;

Oh, good lord no, we aren't buying candy to get this. We are texting a number and it gives us a code if we win.

The source code is probably the bigger issue as EA owns the game itself. Generally, to re-release a licensed game, a publisher needs to licence the IP again for a nominal fee, but this could be avoided by EA and WB agreeing on a sales revenue split, although I can't say I'm aware of any examples of this approach being opted for in lieu of the aforementioned usual method. Frankly, I've long believed that the concept of IP licensing as it generally unfolds is rather archaic -- a contract expiration, especially in this day and age where a game can be distributed at virtually no cost, should not affect content that was released for public consumption during the contract period.

It's really a relic of the TV/Movie industry licensing style and the way that every form of media was negotiated separately. The difference is, even though Hollywood is notorious for fraudulent accounting, they do actually pay people royalties pretty consistently, whereas the game industry is barely based on royalties at all. If anything I wonder if the license holders know the game industry can't be trusted to pay correctly which results in the really short and limited licenses and contracts.

If you email them they will fix the broken card and probably tell you how to redeem the other one. I got a response today about my broken cards from an email I sent yesterday. Just be sure to include the codes you got via text.

I won a code this morning but I need to get my own bill caught up before I can join Project Mayhem. You have all of my non-material support still.

Well I need to get my butt out of bed now, get on steam and play something with Chariot. Its been way too long. I miss that German.
I am always online, even when I hang out most of the time on GAF and Twitter :D
This is fun. Is there a story behind it?
No big one at least.
I just liked Eska and when people started the Alpaca thing I noticed that she just stared at the Alpaca I inserted. I then just started to rotate random cool Gaffers (and some random stuff) through my avatar.

I think it's also worth mentioning that other stuff such as Race the sun - someone missed the Humblebundle - and The novellist are highly discounted.

It's a contest US residents can enter to try to win free movie credits via sending a text message.

You know what? When Abyss Odyssey isn't acting like a giant hole, I rather like it. Reminds me of Cadash in a good way... Maybe it and Spelunky had a I've child. Now if only ACE Team can fix the bugs and supports it with some hefty additional content...

Gun Monkeys key giveaway seems to be broken now (or at least was for me), it's just showing a blank space where the key should be.
Edit: According to comments AdBlock prevents you from seeing it but disabling adblock didn't fix the issue for me using Firefox. Going to try again on another browser. Same issue on Chrome with no adblock. Isn't sending emails either, probably over capacity.

Anyone have an opinion on the various Mafia II DLC? I started playing the game and was really enjoying it before I left for the summer. Is any of it story content worth the $2.50?
