Support NeoGAF

[lashman]

Ah okay, well I get that. The Steam GAF crew were a big part of my life for a while, but sometimes life outside the internets demands too much unimpeded attention.

lies, all lies ... there's no such thing!!

 

[Casimir]

friend asks if Universe Simulator was good, worth 10, etc. i mention the humble bundle.

he just booted up CSD. is 10 minutes long enough before i question him?

I would hate you if you interrupted me 10 minutes into a new game that required my full attention.

 

[Uzzy]

I miss the rain. I could play games in comfort then. Now it's all warm and some vengeful sunny sky god wants me to go outside instead.

365 days of rain would be the ideal British year. Except that cricket would have to be played indoors..

Sub Zero should have kept his winnings.

 

[Relax.MX]

He unfriended me on Steam, but I assumed it was just because I've been pretty absent and he needed the room. Xel is good people, I hope he's doing well.

Yes. The best for Xelios. I miss the reviews but more talk with him

i'll just wait till he rage quits

 

[Widdly Scuds]

Try Nvidia Inspector. The game ought to have a profile.

SGSSAA with nvidia inspector works pretty well with it that's what I used

edit: beaten like a dead horse

[JaseC]

Don't you dare, you're Steam GAF royalty. Xel may have been our king, but you are our prince and princess rolled into one confusing package.

Two crowns are better than one, I always say.

I'll never unfriend you.

<3

Please don't.

I can't make any promises, but if you notice I've had the same avatar for more than a week then assume the worst.

 

[almostheathen]

He unfriended all of us once, added us back, and unfriended everyone again.

He needed parts for his barn and you guys ignored him.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

It's never too late to jump back in

Maybe next year, right now I'm moving my family from the USA to Australia. We have a lot of work to do...

Yes. The best for Xelios. I miss the reviews but more talk with him

Yep. Xelios is just a good human being, he's someone I'd have loved to have met outside of gaming and be able to call a friend.

Two crowns are better than one, I always say.

Sub Zero should have kept his winnings.

It was one of his giveaway prizes he was giving, why would he?

 

[Backlogger]

A while back someone on SteamGAF recommended a generic xBox 360 wireless adapter, but I couldn't find the post (its probably 4-5 threads back at this point). Any recommendations? My last one I got was from Meritline and while it works, the drivers don't automatically get selected when I plug it in. Looking for something a little more reliable if anyone has any suggestions

 

[Grief.exe]

It was one of his giveaway prizes he was giving, why would he?

• Bought the bundle
• Had the same odds to win as everyone else
• Won despite less than a 1% chance

I really don't see the problem here.

 

[Casimir]

*takes notes*

For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, and on your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.

especially something like this...

i'll just wait till he rage quits

 

[Toki767]

It was one of his giveaway prizes he was giving, why would he?

Because it was fate that he received The Elder Scrolls Online.

 

[Shadownet]

Is Dead Pixels any good?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Wait, why do you think that Sub Zero's prize was being relisted? I assumed it was someone else doing it.

 

[Sharkiller]

• Bought the bundle
• Had the same odds to win as everyone else

I really don't see the problem here.

yeah im with you but subzero already said that he had almost all the games in the bundle. so is a waste of his money.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Wait, why do you think that Sub Zero's prize was being relisted? I assumed it was someone else doing it.

Sub Zero relisted his own prize that he won because he entered being sure he wouldn't win, just like Jawmuncher was sure he wouldn't win Alien Isolation.

Apparently there's someone who wanted to call Sub Zero out but thought to do it anonymously by offering a second Quakecon bundle.

At least that's how I see what's going on here, maybe I'm wrong.

 

[rtcn63]

Is Dead Pixels any good?

It's disappointing in my opinion. Shooting has a visceral feel (think RE4/5), but the world and enemies are bland and repetitive.

 

[Caerith]

Sub Zero's relisted giveaway is on a different timer from the anonymous one so if they're both him, he's got twisted way of doing it.

has all the games already?

 

[maneil99]

Someone wanna sum up the GAF drama

 

[Momentary]

Damn. SSFIVAE is in the top 100. Hopefully Ultra will draw in a bigger crowd.

 

[corrosivefrost]

But he doesn't. He owns less of that bundle than I do.

Thats disappointing :/ looking for some good pixel games

Sub-Zero raffled away Quake Collection, but somehow ended up winning his own raffle. Modbot is now pissed at him, and is out for his blood.

That's what I assumed, I thought the shifty fucker thing was just a joke. Sheesh, srs bsns and all that.

[phoenix296]

GGs in L4D. It was fun. My team sucked at VS.

Sub Zero seems to have broken the system while we were playing.

 

[corrosivefrost]

i have 4 games with card drops.
none of them want to actually drop cards. :#

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=121670821&postcount=17744

Exactly.
He doesn't own it all. But it is kind of a waste to redeem the whole bundle if all you're missing is the old doom games and TESO.

Then again, I threatened to enter *just* for TESO when he "forgot" about me and I think that's what kind of triggered all this.

 

[Miguel81]

Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed is awesome! I'm a little over halfway through doing S-rank races and I haven't had this much fun with a kart racer since Super Mario Kart on the SNES. Oh, and an achievement popped up after I nailed Amigo for who knows how many times that bastard has been behind me -- Enemigo is more like it. Online is sometimes great, but there's always some sucker with a crappy connection lagging all over the place(or on purpose?).

Edit: If you're a fan of Panzer Dragoon and Skies of Arcadia prepare to be amazed and then depressed knowing that it will never be.

 

[Casimir]

It is a joke. The whole affair is more humorous than anything else, but he might have to suffer from some teasing later down the road.

 

[Caerith]

That's what I assumed, I thought the shifty fucker thing was just a joke. Sheesh, srs bsns and all that.

I think the shifty fucker thing is just a joke. The kind of person who anonymously gives away $99 bundles is not the kind of person to anonymously call someone names.

Dunden we need another meeting

Probably figured there'd be white knighting and even more drama/srs bsns if it wasn't anonymous.

For the record, the bundle is $55 or so in mother russia.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Well I hope you guys are right, I found the whole thing pretty hilarious and I hope Sub did too.

 

[Khronico]

Man how is it even possible to win your own giveaway when like a billion people enter it along with you. HOW. I wish I had luck that good.

It's so weird to have a good Sonic game. Especially one that is so much fun.

Me waiting for Huggie and Phoenix to play Destiny with.

It's a Sega party game

Hugs went to dinner and I'll be eating soon too. I'll probably be back in around half an hour.

1/135.
0.75% chance of winning.

But he stacked the deck when he entered much the same way Jawmuncher did when he bought the game before the raffle ended. While mathematics are nearly absolute, it seems that statistic probability has no immunity when it comes to Murphy's Law. The Universe/God has a sense of irony, it seems.

Hey hey hey hey, I know that feeling!

Go without me for now, I'm waiting for dinner so I can eat lol.

Also L4D2 was alot of fun, even though I don't know much of what I was doing as the monsters in Vs. Mode. haha

Frosty sort of taunted him into it.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Power of dares. You know, the rules of the schoolyard.

 

[Thezez]

What possible reason could you have to enter your own giveaway?

To show your true power over Modbot.

 

[Casimir]

What possible reason could you have to enter your own giveaway?

Considering the expected number of entries and the resulting probability... personal amusement.
