bish gets all the credit :)
Does anybody here actually win from steamgifts?
Entered many and always smaller games with only a couple hundred entries, but nothing.
Seriously think I am wasting time with it. But hey, I'd still waste it somewhere else.
The site has way too many members now. I used to win occasionally, but nothing recently.

you know dot.
your luck/fortune with giveaways... is rather amazing

Not really. I never win any of these modbot raffles here. :p

I am kinda lucky on steamgifts though.

Playblink is another good alternative and you won't ever get scammed since all the games are steam gifts. They're also the people behind blinkbundle.

Never tried Steamgifts before, but I've been surprising lucky here. Got Abyss Odyssey, Civilization V, Guacamelee, Goat Sim and Joe Danger 2. So many good games :D
 
Won so many great games, time to pay back some with not so great ones :/

To be fair, you've won 68 ModBot giveaways here including Witcher 2, Risk of Rain, Escape Goat, Fez, FTL, The Swapper, Antichamber, Garry's Mod, Ittle Dew, BioShock Infinite, Beatbuddy, Deadly Premonition--it's not like you're left out in the cold or only claiming garbage no one wants ;)

Edit: this isn't me picking on dot, s/he's also given away a bunch of games. Just lightly teasing his/her definition of "never" here.

Regarding Magic 2015, if I understand this right, you can acquire all the DLC decks through normal play, making the Complete Bundle pointless (unless you want a shortcut). However, there is another in-game DLC that allows you to buy premium booster packs with cards not available in either the base or complete game. Is that correct?

If so, kinda sucks. Regardless of how good/bad the premium cards are, I can't help but feel they're nickle-and-dimeing us for every dollar.

How much are the premium booster packs? How many cards do we get from a premium booster pack? And how many premium cards are there in total?

Edit: Just found a link for the card list.

The lack of enough elves to build an elf deck disappoints me. Oh, and the premium booster packs are $2 each and there are 40 unique cards, in case anyone reads this and has the same questions I had.

He also received GoGo! Nippon from me after I saw him lament not winning it in the raffle we entered.


Just for the record
 
X-COM and Overlord are good games, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Madman.
Always saw X-COM UFO Defense in top 100 pc game lists very high.
Wanted to like it but man, the videos I watched on youtube didn't do anything for me.
Better it gets a home at someone who appreciates it.

Bad luck Brian my arse. :p

Shantae is good so far... just expect mostly DSi pixel graphics (Huguuuuu is right, they look best in original aspect).

My only issue so far is I want it to be full screen but when I make it my native resolution, it just gives me a window the size of my screen. :\

I've won a lot of games, but the one I keep missing is Metal Gear Rising. I had hoped to win that during the sale, should have just bought it.

Wasn't dot gifted a bunch of high profile games during the summer sale? Dark Souls II, The Witcher 3, among others. Not to say I wouldn't love that, I'm constantly pestering Rhaknar to pay for a mutual night out with Dormer-resembling escorts, but he said that was a bit too far from his purview.

We all like winning games, to top off that sweet gambler's high. But intentionally playing coy to influence others to gift you things, that may not be cool brah. Just step back, take in the rays.

That reminds me, I should really focus on playing the games won/gifted to me.

Yeah. I was disappointed to find this out. I was under the impression the stuff you got with the complete edition was DLC. Wouldn't have bothered if it was just unlocking stuff early. >.< Instead you still have to get boosters if you want the premium cards. Boosters are £1.49 (I think someone said $1.99 in the US?).
 
The best response to stump's teasing is:

dot, dot, dot.

Charmanchuck's post.

That's a good attitude to have.

I take it back, you're not a madman at all; you're actually rather noble... You'd make a good overlord.


Now, I have a question for SteamGAF: what are your thoughts, if any, on Warlock 2: The Exiled? The thing I want to know the most about it is the "in-game shop" it apparently has, which I presume is for microtransactions. (It just seems really gross and makes me not want to ever get the game, in spite of it being right up my alley.)

But he knows escorts from his job, right?


Also, Amazon price-matched the 75% off Europa Universalis IV.

Well, i kinda meant the "bigger" games. Most of the ones i won were first come first serve. That Deadly Premonition humblebundle link was a dud, sadly. :(

and holy crap 68 times? >_>

also i just wanted to ask. Can humblebundle/indiegala links be nuked? The modbot instructions only mentioned keys. FiveElementNinja also mentioned that he had trouble with nuking links too. I just wanted to hear from you Stump.

Don't lament not winning anything unless you actually hardly win anything - or have given away more than you've won ;)

It's still amazing.
It's an experience which can't really be caught in a video, I find.
Yeah, the atmosphere is actually pretty dense or thick or whatever the English word is.
Kinda oppressive and tense with a little bit of dread.
But I cannot see me playing it...

On winning games. Good Lord I have so many great games, it's insane! A lot were actually on my wishlist and I'd never thought of getting them for free. Like The Void.
If only there were more walking sims in giveaways...
And I haven't given back as much as I'd like. NEET life be damned.
Even my custom giveaway rule didn't help, haha.

The mod irc channel is internally known as "#cyberbullying" because stimpy the cow picks on everyone.

So don't feel bad, dot. This is typical behavior.

Error: The key you tried to add for Paranautical Activity failed because it was already in ModBot and marked as taken from an earlier giveaway. If you are 100% sure you wish to re-submit this key because it is not taken, please read the help thread under 'I accidentally took a key I didn't want' and follow those instructions before re-adding.

Modbot just sent me that message when i tried to nuke my humblebundle link...

screw it

https://www.humblebundle.com/gift?key=sDWTAPbAMGrqvRcE

someone take this please, it's Paranautical Activity

Yeah, it's $2. I might be tempted to buy a few. I still need to go through the list and see what's premium and what's not.

You can check your Modbot statistic if you send a PM with My Loot to Modbot. I also saw I got 47 games and gave away 40 (mostly trash bundle with the exception of some high profile games like Bad Rats!)

just realized there's an extra po in stumpokapow

i always wrote it spumkapow

you people and your complicated names

You could always sell it if you don't want a spider in your inventory :p
yea that's what i always do, spider or not

There aren't many spiders in the game.
i heard so tho from what i've seen they're pretty bad

i've got other games on my plate so imma wait a bit, see if anyone comes up with a anti-spider mod

I feel like I need to send a myloot message to ModBot just to remind myself that I've won some pretty good games from it due to having bad luck on winning The Witcher 3/Divinity/whatever else is hot and new these days.

Hey, i don't beg for games. nbnt just chose to gift me stuff. It's not like i was the only one getting games from him, he gifted a billion other people too. Mine was just more obvious since i posted multiple pics about it (which he was okay with).
