I don't know what is happening here, but I like it. I like the system requirements even more.

What game is that?

So just have fun and enjoy the off-topic stuff every now and then. If you don't like it, post something about Steam that you want to talk about and try to steer the thread in a direction you like, or just scroll past it all. No need to make other people feel bad for enjoying themselves.

It's better to reign in the issue now while we can, then let it continue spiraling downward.

We try to accommodate as many people as possible with this thread. A bit of OT is perfectly acceptable for these threads, but it has to be controlled. The Steam thread has always been self policed to a degree, but the mods can, and will, step in if it becomes out of,hand. Better to nip it in the bud before it comes to that point.

Last thing anyone wants is to alienate someone though. I am not the picture of perfection by any means either, I have my own OT vices from time to time.

I will speak for A Fish Aficionado and say "yes".


You should join us for game night sometimes. I never once see you there.
Please?

I would like to, though it seems I never actually have time to play when game night starts. I prefer TF2 over CS:Go in terms of shenanigan potential

What time zone do you live in? Phoenix is usually the one who start game night. Since he lives on the West Coast. its kinda late for some of us.

Why do I even bother?

Yea, I stopped bothering with the key giveaways after the second time. I still have a gold one sitting here from a Raptr raffle, waiting for the Reward Program to update with games I'm actually interested in playing... I hope it doesn't expire, can't find info on that ><

Anyway, time for TWD S02x04. pls don't disappoint

If game nights are still a thing by the time I'm on fibre (hopefully by the end of the year/early next) then I may join in on the CS:GO fun. This probably sounds like a "I'm not interested but I'll just say I am" post, but rest assured I am; I just don't like to commit to things when I can't be certain.
 
If by 'you' you mean a Russian key-bot then yes. :O

Well, I did manage to get a key when it was available in NA ^^. The game selection was different of course.

You need to refresh at the right time (within seconds of them being posted probably). Then you get put in a queue and you hope you are lucky enough to get a key.

Sorry for the used keys, hopefully this will have no used keys. More to come, enjoy!

Thanks for the chance but this was used :(

Humble Indie Bundle 6 #6 -- MB-5740E8A57547798B - Taken by Benedict

Are many of these used?
How do Modbot react to used keys?
Any way we can make Modbot aware of these?

Trails in the Sky.

Gimmie TiTS now! Only 6-7 days of waiting and I shall finally own one of my favorite PSP RPG on Steam, all ready to play again. I just want it to be a success on steam much like the yS games were so we can not only get SC on PSP, but hopefully also on Steam as well, lately I've gotten more into playing my games on Steam again rather than my Vita, even for indies >_>

Yeah, my HIB 6 was used too, but he's giving away so many keys that its really hard to keep track of them.

Also, no way for modbot to test keys. Anyhow, there are so many keys so these things happen.

If you don't know the expiry date then I wouldn't bother sitting on it. It certainly won't be valid into next year and I doubt much will be added before then.

Edit: actually, if the new cards do come later this year there might be some new games to go with them, but you're pushing your luck.

The HIB6 key I won was used as well. There really is no way for Modbot to check something like this, as the only way to see if a key is used or not is to activate it (to an account that doesn't have the game in question yet).

They're adding games pretty regularly. Question is what of the upcoming ones is 'sponsored' by AMD. Evolve maybe? And somewhere on the Never Settle page it says that the keys don't expire (as long as the program runs).

I can understand that. I'm assuming fibre is like higher internet speed? are yours not too good right now?

You just join us when you can :) I know scheduling is hard, but yeah, whenever you can :)

What time zone do you live in? Phoenix is usually the one who start game night. Since he lives on the West Coast. its kinda late for some of us.

I am in Las Vegas, so probably same time zone, but my days and evenings are pretty hectic until around 9pm or so Pacific Time which is why I usually miss the game nights (so far). Just need to make more of an effort to carve out time one night for it.

I figured it was, but I didn't think the preorder page would go live this soon!

After months of nothing, they are releasing the game next week? Didn't expect that.

It's a really pleasant surprise considering how quiet they've been, I figured that they would release it much later than next week.
 
Wow, so many great giveaways and I missed them because I searched the L4D2 workshop, too much. Ha.
Later, we plan on L4D2 with the custom campaign
I have Thief 1 Gold, but I'd like Thief 2 & Hitman Blodd Money to show up.
Humble Squenix bundle
TIER 1: 1$[...]
This bundle is again like the 2K bundle very good. I own some though sadly. I'll try some giveaways and decide whether to buy Tier 2. Hope the price stays steady.
Anachronox really is worth grabbing the first tier for.[...]
I had it wishlisted actually upon turfster I believe mentioned recently.

I prefer this. Don't tell the fans the actual release date until a week before. Perfect waiting period.

Namco recently published a One Piece game that actually looks fairly interesting.

I know nothing,about the anime, but just watched SlasherJPC's review on YouTube and he described it as an interesting mashup between Kingdom Hearts and Minster Hunter.

A real shame it didn't make its way to PC concurrently with the console release. It does seem they are targeting the Japanese market with PS3, vita, 3ds, and WiiU.

It's a really pleasant surprise considering how quiet they've been, I figured that they would release it much later than next week.

Truly, no one saw that coming.

I can understand that. I'm assuming fibre is like higher internet speed? are yours not too good right now?

You just join us when you can :) I know scheduling is hard, but yeah, whenever you can :)

On a good day I sync at ~7Mb/0.384Mb (the latter being artificially capped), however my ISP has a proclivity for underprovisioning bandwidth and so latency even to local servers tends to be woefully inconsistent. My previous ISP was fantastic, but I had to switch to my current ISP to re-download a ton of data (I previously had a monthly quota of just 200GB) and by the time I had it all back I'd simply grown too accustomed to not having a download limit, plus my previous ISP's plans had actually taken a turn for the worse.

Including mandatory line rental I currently pay about $93 per month; once fibre comes I'll be able to switch to a 100Mb/40Mb plan with a reputable ISP and pay $100 per month for a 1TB monthly quota, which is more than enough.
