What's up with all that sissy music over there?

no but seriously, my favorite band ever is Sonic Youth, so you can guess were I am in this whole 80s music battle ^^

It's times like this that I really miss woo and indeed hoo.

So it turns out if I idle all of my remaining cards, I'll have enough for D:OS. Guess I know what my computer will be doing for the forseeable future :\

I really want this game, number one on my wishlist! But....... I bet someone else wants it even more and isn't in the position to buy it!

For reference, I do not want anyone to gift me anything. There are others more deserving of your gifts. If you gift me something I'm never gifting anything to SteamGaf again, you hear me corrosivefrost!? :p

Aww I missed out on Shovel Knight and Speedrunners chances. Non the less kickass giveaway mate =)

...you buys bought Murder at Hotel Lisbon or do you not like PnC games?

Only to find out I've taken her.


The topic of neogaf won't ever come up if I do.

Incidentally, according to Lucinda Dryzek she is single these days. May the best man win. :p

even though I hate Konami Asia, YES!

the game is one of the most fun ive had with a hack and slash

Speaking of publishers that hate Asia, I can't help but be amused by the fact that the retail-specific RE5 Dev Comp sub lists Japan as a purchase-restricted country. I can only assume QLOC will be moving the game over to Steamworks as it did with SSF4:AE and LP3, however someone at Capcom JP is going to be a little befuddled when he/she tries to redeem a key tied to it, haha.

lol FUCK this
bridge
level in Wolfenstein, I might actually be done with the game. this is NOT fun
 
Can someone tell me how far I got left in BioShock Infinite?

I'm at
the part where they are going after Comstock and I think they're in his building?

My god this game is a drag to play through.. It's pretty damn long.

It's a drag, but it's really not that long. I beat in about 10h.

I somehow got troubles with upgraded ice cream when the rush happens.

I ended up rebinding keys for some of the recipes to make the recipes feel more natural, if that makes sense. Try to experiment with that, because it only gets harder from there.

I think most people wanted one of the hot games. I chose the one I was most interested in, but there were a bunch on that list that really interest me, Murder in the Hotel Lisbon among them.

I recall being a little confused as to where to go at one or two points, but overall the level wasn't difficult. You've still a fair chunk of the game to go, too, so keep that in mind. ;)

I won it from F-Pina when he did a giveaway the other day, the art style is pretty awesome, very European comic book feel to it. Haven't had a chance to make it too far into the game yet but I like it so far. I'm a big point and click fan though.

I´m thinking of getting Wolfenstein, but will probably have to start playing just next week haha. It´s something like 45GB, right?

I didn´t even know that you are able to do that. The recipes with for example T=tomato are super easy and quick but when the first letter doesn´t match it just takes a tiny bit longer.
Will try this out next time, unlock one extra booth and it´s already a big change.

Went for a walk while W:TNO completed downloading .

Any thing i should know regarding performance or AA etc .. ?

You'll want to drop shadows down to 4k if you have a 2GB card; disable screen-space reflections if the framerate is inconsistent.

40.7GB download (well, the pre-load was 40.7GB, anyway), 43.5GB installed.

Thanks JaseC! Now my 60GB SSD is starting to feel *a bit* small. lol Although I´ve been messing around with Intel Smart Response and using it as a cache drive, and I´m actually surprised by how efficient it is.

Nuuvem is having a sale, highlight is Wolfenstein at ~19€.

Cannot be redeemed in Germany, Israel Japan and Russia.

Germany is correct; the rest aren't.

Edit:
AllowPurchaseFromRestrictedCountries No
prohibitrunincountries expand DE
PurchaseRestrictedCountries expand DE

No idea why Nuuvem mentions the countries.

ModBot will now scan your computer for parts, installed programs and files (especially hidden folders). It'll replace the controversial megagivers rule to decide if you are worthy of winning the game.

Wait ,Modbot can look at my porn stash file ? :p

thanks runing this on a 3GB 780TI .
 
I remember people saying that Wolfenstein started a bit slow, but turned out better later on. About what point is that? I should be close to the end of the third chapter, and it's quite good so far, but also feels like a very ordinary FPS.

I'd say it's just the first chapter that leaves little to be desired. The game gradually improves from thereon out.

Probably the same people that told me Metro 2033 was good.

I can't be the only one who felt that watch dogs was better than wolfenstein.

Imo wolfenstein felt like a generic scripted fps to me

I was hoping that the game would have been a lot less linear

Is it safe to check steamdb.info or I'm out of the loop?

Israel is listed but jp and Asia have a package entry.

Keys intended for Brazil are tied to the ROW sub and it only disallows German IPs.

It's kind of bizarre that the game is locked down so tight for Germans. Even Ubi was willing to leave South Park ROW as an option.
 
The entry numbers for non-free-for-all giveaways always make for an interesting study, and when the titles are of the quality Fuzz just gave away, even more so:

32 - Divinity: Original Sin
28 - Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
27 - Wolfenstein: The New Order
20 - Shovel Knight
15 - Transistor
17 - Astebreed
13 - Gods Will Be Watching
9 - Broforce
8 - Shantae: Risky's Revenge
6 - SpeedRunners
4 - Crimzon Clover: World Ignition
1 - Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon

Great stuff, Fuzz, thanks - and congrats to all.
That's why I did it as a non-free-for-all; to see what the breakdown would be.
Here's the free-for-all version:
