Is it out?

This is perfectly reasonable.

To be fair, he could've been away from his Steam computer for days/weeks. I remember I had a GAFer ask me about a game in their inventory they gave me that I hadn't activated in a couple days. I was out of town that weekend and happened to enter the giveaway before leaving. I didn't mind them checking to see if the game activated okay, but I wouldn't want to have to worry about people assuming I wasn't planning on activated the game, then having to try to track down all the people who happened to see speculation about me and attempt to prove my innocence.
If there's evidence of someone selling keys elsewhere, that's one thing. Simply not activating a game could be for all sorts of reasons.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Listen, a lot of Modbot's effecticness as a tool comes from the fact that it is community driven and moderated.
"Taking it to a pm" is just a way for a scammer to prolong his scam as it takes longer for the community to figure out there's a problem.
In other words: cut the crap.
Every time I see ModBot Basics I can't help think of a discount range at a supermarket of ModBot related snacks.
Yeah I'm going to add it to my circulation at some point. How long would you say the game is when you get a handle on where your going? Though I'd also be on the achievement hunting grind as well.
Hahaha subtle

Engi event, they give it to you.
Probably by my birthday technically starting 40 minutes ago and me being old enough to have watched Matlock when it first aired.
I love how the posterized version of the Matlock logo looks like a failed attempt at a Breaking Bad style period table element.
and thats random i assume
You need to
have an Engi crewmember, find the right fleet of Engi ships and hten do the quest.

I'm coming in at a weird time, just woke up and was going to play Freedom Planet shortly and come back with impressions later.
The story behind this is that you won Zero, I was out then for something like seven hours and came back, and someone had PM'd me about the winner situation, then I searched the GAF topic and see some people had posted here about it, and then I recalled some drama about you before, and so I decided to re-gift it if it hadn't been activated 7-8 hours later to whoever quoted my post stating as such first.
I want to clarify I don't normally switch on people and I don't mind if people give keys to friends or something... I sometimes go to win games in raffles to hand off to friends, though if I win bigger games for this reason I like to PM the person and ask if that's alright with them. But people had caught you trading games off trade sites for other games and such and I'm not big on that.
And as I was giving away DreadOut, which has not been cheaper than $14 and not been in any bundles or anything and only two months old, I wanted it to go to a nice home.
However, on that note, I will re-post this give-away of which I'm holding.

Halfway has been out for two days or so, yeah. There are some posts with impressions of it in the thread, too.
Happy birthday!
Stealth Cruiser is the one i've managed my only successfull playthrough with on normal so far <3
Just had a really good run in FTL, second best so far. Got to sector 6, then stranded with no fuel and up against an enemy ship with two deflector drones and me with just an ion cannon, a combat drone and a beam drone.
Basically had to wait until he took my hull down from 80% to zero. Unlocked the stealth ship on the way there though, so I'll try that out.
The game starts out fairly slow while you are in the town and the first area isn't very difficult at all. But once you start to hit the 3rd area and the 4th area the difficulty starts to really ramp up and you finally have a much bigger arsenal of weapons and tools to help you progress. I always thought it had an interesting little story as well, but the story doesn't truly reveal itself until the second half of the game. Also if you are going for achievements, look up how to get the true ending level and boss unlocked because it's very easy to miss and they give you very few clues as to actually get it. There are 2 things you need to do in the game to make sure the true final area is open.
Happy Birthday Turf! That's 2 birthdays today!

The only thing not random is the final boss.
You can also unlock it by winning with the rock cruiser. Every ship can be gotten by winning with the ship unlocked before it, besides the crystal cruiser.
Lanius cruiser master race, though.
Oh no, you and CosmicQueso are the only two instances of it I can tolerate and appreciate. The rest will disappear if I ever become Earth's dictator.

Damn I'm now even with giveaways and wins. I'll do some more giveaways when I get paid 
I'd say if after 1 hour you still feel like the game is going nowhere then it's not your thing. Soon after the intro you end up in village from where you teleport to an area which gives you a good idea of what the game is about. After that it's mostly just a new area after an area. I don't think the game spends too much time on one area. In fact the areas seem to go by very fast and like I said they are all very distinctive and beautiful.
In other news I read RPS's Wot I Think: Gods Will Be Watching and it sounds exactly like the kind of game I would end up hating. It seems the writer is pretty overwhelmingly negative about the game (I have not enjoyed playing this game at all). Still seems curious enough that I think I'll pick it up from sale. I guess I have myself to blame when I get frustrated to no end. It really seems like that kind of game. Too bad since the core concept seems interesting.
Some game was duplicated.. and some time give them to my brother acc http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198046941000 and he have acc here but still new I think it's kjakj or something like that
and my other brother acc here http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198001847565 i some time give him some of the key i won...
if u want to ask me anything i am here i don't like to hide anything

If you get stranded with no fuel, you're going to have a bad time.
What difficulty are you playing on?
I keep almost buying this book. Recommend yes/no?
I'm pretty sure you can guess somewhat accurately how many games he's given away.
As someone who did "take it to PM" to ask him, yes. It's a whole lot of stalling, playing dumb, not understanding what the big deal is because he didn't take thousands of games, etc.
I'm just surprised it's still going on.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys.
Try the prototype to see if you like it. Apparently the complete version's gameplay isn't all that different from it, even if the situations are.

It was very consistent for me. They would outstretch their legs one by one and the next animation after that is where they would attack. There are three animations for fear as well that end with them either taking a run for it or attacking. I played it a few times and they were always the same. Although of course some actions make them become more paniced or relaxed than others.
Ie, once I had all four ready to attack(very relaxed) so I executed the captain which sent them all back to the first panic'd state.
did you watch the pillar of eternity quicklook yet dude? dat based obsidian
edit: Mass_Pincup claimed your Legends of Persia key. There were 6 entrants.
Thanks again for being generous.
good lord at the throttles, game has been up for hours
Just did, thanks for the heads up. Pretty much every other game coming out in the winter quarter precipitously dropped in interest. I cannot wait.
What can I say, bad games have their intrinsic appeal.
I wonder what Nintendo's attitude to infringing property is. You read about SEGA, EA, or Activision sending cease and desist letters, but not much from Nintendo.
Yeah, I don't understand the appeal other than a blank platform for youtube personalities to overlay their own juvenile behavior.

Did your parents drown in a pool of molten cheese? Why do you hate something so delicious?
Or at least show some restraint and give something back from time to time. If you can't for whatever reasons see the part about restraint.
Before you enter this let me refer you to this post.

Holy FUCK. My most anticipated game.
Edit: Mega givers nooooo I've only given away like 10 things. I was gonna buy the game either way =p
It's well known that Nintendo has ninja, and as such you don't hear anything until it's too late.
Isn't it pretty simple for someone to check if they are on the community blacklist btw, given that a creator can win their own giveaway.
I want to ask you why you think the people here are stupid. Stump went out of his way to create a system that would reward new users and avid givers alike.
The graceful thing to do would be to say you're sorry for taking advantage of others' generosity, and bow out of future giveaways.
What are you searching for or viewing. I always get advertisements for an article on Pandora or doctors.

I started playing on normal. I think my second run ever got me to the 6th sector (still my high score too). Recently I dropped down to easy though. Haven't tried any of the advanced stuff either
Cheers for the further thoughts folks. I'm typical driven by what game I play dependant on my mood so I probably was taken a back a bit expecting a Metroid style romp off the bat and it being a bit slower progression wise than I was expecting. Hearing it get's more fluid later on though is great so I'll deffo give it another blast. Cheers again.
Maybe a big wheel of cheese ran over his dog in the road, you just don't know, man.
There's a... bizarre DRM-free Groupees bundle. Not going to list the things in it, but maybe it's... relevant to someone's interests?
People with kids, maybe?
Yes. It was my first and (currently) only Vonnegut, and I found it to be a fairly straightforward, unintimidating, and of course, enjoyable read. Not difficult to finish in a few sittings. Though I do come from a Science Fiction background, so if you're new to the genre or don't like dealing with that meta-quasi-don't-necessarily-take-this-shit-at-face-value stuffs, might take bit a more effort than expected.
From what Cyan said, doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding at all.

The word investigate. Also, I'd like to see that modbotified, except for time its on is all day were day
Looks like some PS2 era shovelware, or greenlight.
It'a always a few people abusing who ruin it for the many, but yeah, I'm starting to feel like the right way to go about doing these ModBot giveaways is throwing out bundle games and just gifting better games directly to people personally.
OMG! But it includes My Doll 3D!

This sounds good to me. As for the give away I'm doing today I personally don't care what you do with the games as long as you're not selling them for profit. If you win a game you don't want or already have you're free to trade it with another winner if you're so inclined, otherwise give it away again yourself.
Repost:
The games are:
Witcher 3
Divinity: Original Sin
Bioshock Infinite
Dead Rising 3
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Bad Rats
Choose wisely for I have another twist. I have an avatar for the "Winner" of Bad Rats to wear proudly for one week. GLHF!
Everyone is free to enter. If you already own the game you win, feel free to give it away here. +1 to your modbot lootstash. You should all enter for the grand prize.
