I won Fortix from Speevy earlier today, and he was kind enough to buy a second copy for me when the key turned out to have been used already, so here's some games to pay it back:

Ah Finding Teddy. I still hold it in warm regards even if it wasn't what I was looking for and lacked some meat. Still, I do recommend it as stated in this review I did for it.

Learning from the limit JaseC encountered I made a thread as well with fewer keys. ModBot still faltered a bit because I posted later in the thread some unclaimed keys (last page I believe has some Desura still left over), but still gives a decent idea of what it's like.

steamprices.com has that feature
Thanks to both of you!
I knew about both sites (thanks to Enhanced Steam) but never heard about those features!

hm. Dropbox is blocked here, so they didn't show up anyway for me.
Therefore, post seemed legit.
oh fucking a
DetectiveGAF found out that this dude has quite a history of not activating ModBot winnings (they aren't on his account). And after a page or two of 'that is shitty behavior', apparently he also gives no fucks as well.
Yeah, that seems fair. I don't think I have all the time I need to fully immerse myself in BG2 - 'cause I know a game like that deserves immersion.
oops, point taken!
Ouch, maybe YOU NEED A BUDGET (?). I wish I could back some cool stuff, but I don't have a credit card so... yeah. I'll just have to buy it whenever it comes out - and I can't wait.
Good thing I have the Dark Souls 2 DLC and Divinity: Original Sin to keep me company until PoE finally launches, eh?
I only played for about an hour so just walking around. Ive seen screenshots of jetpacks and hang gliders and vehicles so I assume you can build those eventually

Chapter 2 of GWBW is plain bullshit,
I'm already really close to hanging my hat on this.
one of the torture days is russian roulette! So basically I can either confess to avoid the russian roulette and then get killed once I've confessed too much or face a roll of the dice that I need to start the chapter all over again. That's only the 7th day out of 22 I've managed.

i'm thankful for this summer drought because i'm killing it with my backlog. The only thing is that i've pretty much finished all my "easy" backlog games (games 2-3 hours long) and now I'm getting my hands dirty with some 8-10 hours games.
so far, the only game i've walked away from is Velocity Ultra, because around zone 43ish the game basically forces you to go back and grind for points
and after doing that for a while i just didn't find myself enjoying it anymore. Same with Muramasa, which just felt tedious as hell and wasn't any fun to play.
That's another thing, too: I'm much more willing to just walk away from a game in my backlog if i don't feel like im having any fun. games are about fun, and while i don't mind if a game i've put 15-20 hours into starts getting a little stale, if a game hits a point where i can't continue (happened with the witcher 1, where i hit a wall halfway through chapter 3 or when the level design in Tomb Raider Anniversary was just giving me headaches) or if i've given a game a genuine try and it just doesn't stick (muramasa got 2 hours from me and the more i played it the less i liked it), I'd much rather move on and hopefully find a great game like the Witcher 2 in the process instead of getting into another boring ass slashfest in Muramasa because i feel a certain obligation to play all that i own.
So far, i'm only violating my finish-2-before-you-buy-1 rule with a purchase of dragon's crown, since my bro has been asking me to get it for a while and he just bought LCGOL to play with me so it's my turn to return the favor. Hopefully, it won't bore me to tears like the last vanillaware game.

Oh that's pretty sleazy and a horrible thing to do with SteamGAFs generosity.
Damn that looks nice! I think ill download the mod and try to play with you all!
I actually had fun in the first one.
Never finished it but it was good with a friend.
I feel the games get way too much hate. The combat was great. Breaking bones and cutting off chunks of flesh is pretty fun.

Riptide is a sequel but if you're just going to play one play that. They're indeed fun with friends though. Just a point I didn't like BL but I loved my time with DI. The melee focus I really enjoyed.
Oh, so they didn't actually polish the bullshit I didn't like from the prototype.
Yep, never getting this.
What are everyone's thoughts on the Arkham games? I ask because I'm halfway through City and am finding it a touch disappointing. I liked Asylum quite a bit and found it to be a enjoyable Metroid-style romp with a combat system that was easy to learn and stealth sections that didn't completely suck (I'm not a stealth fan at all). It had a fairly pedestrian story and an awful final boss fight but it didn't outstay its welcome either.
I like that City takes a different approach with an open world and fighting that feels a little tighter, but I still think the story is fairly mediocre and I find the side-missions to be tedious. So the open city aspect isn't really doing much for me.
Both of the games look great and seem to scale well, running well on lower end systems and my mid-tier one too. Everything I've heard about Origins is that it doesn't stand up to Asylum or City, and I'm thinking about just skipping it for Arkham Knight in the Fall. Would that be advisable?

Er, but what looks awesome about it? I didn't watch the quick look, I didn't see anything in the screenshots that gave any indication of what the game would be about, so I feel like I missed something if everyone else is so hyped.

Nope, Alt+Prnt Screen only captures the desktop and not the game even though the game is running on top. Same happens with Greenshot - and I've used it to take screenshots before in game.
Never knew about that, took a look and it's way more work than I'd want to bother with to put shots up on steam. My main issue is just getting captured shots which is proving almost as difficult as the game itself.
In the interim, I have failed the first scenario several times and I am not sure I like the cut of the game's jib in regards to why. More on this after I spend some time with it.

Akrham Origins is my favorite, AA is a (very) close second, and AC is just good at number 3. AC felt like it was developed by 10 different teams and pasted together at the end. The pacing was off, bosses weren't interesting (except for Freeze), and I wasn't a fan of traveling around the city. I dunno. I always feel like I'm crazy when I talk about AC.
yes.

Asylum >> City > Origins
If you're burned out, you can skip Origins. It's not part of the 'official' trilogy, but on its own it's worthwhile to play imo.

Yes, on the account page of your steam settings
play on easy then? Dunno, just seems like typical overblown exageration when a hard game is new, just like when Dark Souls came out (and no, people didnt say it was "fair" at first, well, many didnt at least)

Wow that is lame. What is so important they they would disallow the feature.

I think Stump has mentioned before that users who end up on multiple givers' block lists become candidates for the global blacklist, so I think if we can just manage to get this zeroOman fellow on a few of those, well...
He's definitely on mine, anyway.
I've been playing Arkham Origins recently, and it's fairly enjoyable. It's closer to Arkham City than Asylum, though - open world with tons of "collectables". If that ain't your thing...
I do like it, however. And I don't usually mind those collectathons. I just tend to chill out, pretend I'm actually Batman and traverse the city. Combat is fluid but it seems a bit harder then the previous ones.
As for the storyline itself, I'm afraid I'm still during the early stages of the game, so I can't comment on that, except for the fact that it's apparently tighter than the one in Arkham City.
I'd say give it a go if you somehow end up warming up to AC and you end up winning a giveaway or find it cheap.
AC and AO are pretty much tied for me. both have a different feel from each other but they are both equally good. AA is also a great game, despite it not having the open world. I liked how AO focuses on some lesser known villians,but still keeps some of the better ones like Bane and Deathstroke.
Thanks! I want to see if this solves my problem with the graphs not appearing for items for sale.
Edit: It works now without the Beta.
