I should clarify, I do not know if the steam redemption granted the soundtrack sub. But I definitely have the Stealth Bastard soundtrack under my audio files on the humble site.

I think it's only for download, not actual steam st, but then again, I should check, to be sure

Is that like getting a "We Know" letter at night?

I guess?
This reminds me
the share amount of spam, malware, scamming that is going under "blizzard" banner is astounding, I think I get about 50 e-mails each month pertaining battle-net, my account(s), surveys, winning stuff, security breach, you name it. It would be hilarious, but somehow it annoys me still. The same thing is going with all popular MMOs, but blizzard stuff is in league of its own, I think.
oh ya, I should have read it myself, I blame heat.
Thanks Jasec, I'll wait then

Well fired up my 2 games from my haul this morning, if you can call it that. Why is it that games that get slated for their design and other areas they are lacking but excel on a technical standpoint? I'm not to sure how Aliens: CM ran before it's host of patches but the game runs peachy (despite having no real AA options) and Dark is another game that has a good selection of tweak available and some of the most comprehensive 3D support I've seen in a game. Ride to Hell was pretty flawless in that regard too and at the time was paving the way for sole x64 executable support. Granted they're all UE3 games but they make use of the feature set of the engine better than some more acclaimed games. If only these peeps would focus on the gameplay a bit more!
Speaking of I get the feel Dark is going to be the cheesy, clichéd kind of bad but good game. I mean you start off with amnesia in the a-typical video game night club. I do wonder if anyone who has designed a night club layout or stage in a game has ever been out on the tiles. I mean just look at this...
That looks like something out of a Michael Mann film and the way everyone is miles apart is like a school disco. Doesn't help that as is the norm the dancing animations are reminiscent of your dad after he's had one too many at a wedding.

No clue. The site it linked to was mostly broken, with that video embedded in the middle of it.

It's probably not a horror game, but I'm hopping the Bioware thing is a horror game.
But maybe a horror game, it is labelled as Nightmare and has imagery of things like a ring of fire and a faceless man.
But not getting my hopes up.

Yeah, I kinda want to know what it even is before I get carried away.
but I thought we should avoid Dark like fire. Remind me, why are you playing it?
If you continue to ask questions that more or less answer themselves I may have to start calling you fantomena.
please don't! I'm not doing it often enough for you to do such a thing

They're so meta with the copy/paste corridor and reused assets in the video
I think Bioware did something similar with a past game.. or was it another developer.
one of the comments bellow the youtube video was "look like an old opening to a Supernatural episode"
i was like.. YES? Keep talking? a Bioware Supernatural game??
Because I have a penchant for the terrible! Plus if you only play the middling to good games you can never appreciate the whole spectrum. Well that's at least what I keep telling myself anyway. To be fair there are very few games I'll say that I've played over the years that I'd consider bad.
Plus Super TIME Force Ultra is taking its sweet time (hehehe) so I keep on frivolously buying stuff I don't really want and/or need.
Freaky future quote! Does it show up in your BIOS? If not 9 times out of 10 it's a PCB fault and the other 1 is possible a firmware one. Which is quite worrying now as I usually go through 2 to 3 hard drives a year and this is a running theme in this thread at the mo. Could be worse though it could have been one of the gif and avatar storage hard drives.

I wasn't able to salvage much from my Steam drive. Hopefully the ol' freezer trick will allow me to copy over the userdata folder as some Steamworks games store saves there, but other than that I was able to move what I need (namely mods, tools, and the ACF manifests, meaning I don't have to comb through Steam's free game list and reinstall everything as the client still thinks they're installed).
I'll buy a 3TB replacement in a few days, but I hate purchasing things unexpectedly because I can't help but think to myself, "I could have spent this money on games."

My give away is now over. Congrats to the winners! For those curious:
Indignate, PM me for your avatar prize.
Oh man, and I entered for #5.
I still love you ModBot.
Thanks again for the giveaway, hope you had a good birthday!
Yeah, I just got it. Don't even remember giving Bioware my email.

ModBot said:Instructions for participants:
I am giving away a Steam key. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line from the message below containing the game you want to enter for. Confused? Watch this GIF tutorial or ask for help.
ModBot Basics:
- I really appreciate thank you messages, but please send them to me (Dusk Golem, not ModBot!) via PM instead of in thread.
- Do not trade keys you win off-site to enrich yourself. Don't try to claim games you have no interest in collecting or playing. Don't claim games to give them to friends off-site.
- If the key is already taken you will not receive a reply. Replies may take a minute or two.
Rules for this Giveaway:
- MEGA GIVERS ONLY! You must have given away at least 25 games through ModBot to become eligible for this giveaway.
- If you are a lurker you are not eligible for this giveaway. You need five or more posts in either the current Steam thread or the previous one to be eligible
- This giveaway is a raffle. The winners will be selected by random draw 24 hours after the draw was created. Any games not claimed after that point will be given away first come first serve.
THIS GAME IS AN IOU, I will gift the game via NeoGAF PM a little before or on the game's release date on Steam.
NOTE: Bethesda is known for region-locking, and as Evil Within is a gory game, it is quite possible it will have a censored version released. North America is where I'm and the key will be from, and maybe it won't be, but it's a fair notice to say it might be,
Evil Within --MB-677AAF14A772A4E2- Taken by EzioCroft. 88 entrants total.
I don't know why I even question your choice when I just bought WRC 4 for $10 myself (><)
I can see your point, usually when I don't like a game, I perceive it as not my thing and I can't name many games that are my thing and are bad. I'm trying to remember any strategy game that I thought was bad and I can't, except for Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff, that was... not good.
It's a mechanical issue. While some areas of the drive are (barely) accessible, for the most part attempting to open a folder/file causes the drive to tick for a good 20 or so seconds before Windows gives up and complains about an I/O error.
Oh, and I did also salvage the most important thing: the Steam avatar that Tellaerin made me earlier in the week (the GAF one I'd already moved to my laptop).
I just got mine. Bioware got my email cause I bought some stuff from them. Maybe that's what happened to you? or you sign up for a bioware account for a game.

I can't enter it but you're pretty awesome for giving that game away. Roll on October.

I can't enter (need to work on that), but that is a damn fine giveaway, Dusk.
It's winter here.
The drive just decided it no longer wanted to store data I'd never use. Edit: The spiderweb thread in the OT is amazing.
Yeah, I think I made an account for Mass Effect 2. The teaser looked really stupid to me though. I have no faith in Bioware anymore. I prefer a more psychological, nuanced horror like the Silent Hill games. Not this in your face loud noises shock horror.

Well I'm short 4 games but cool giveaway sir. o:
Me too.
It really make me sad to know how many gafers don't have a job.
Best of luck guys. I hope you find something soon.
Well we all got our likes and dislikes, I mean I'm not a far of tower defence games by any stretch but do like some aspects of them. Rhaknar brought up Steam community reviews last night and if you follow the ratings game with them it's more of a case people voting if this review was helpful not on the review but whether they like the game themselves or not. Kind of skews the ratings some what.
Hahah phew! I've got 2 old Samsung F3 drives in my old, old. PC and one of them when I go to access it sounds like the Millennium Falcon failing to go into hyper-drive. It's been doing it for about a month now since the heat has picked up here and I know it's only a matter of time before it kicks the bucket. Though through a combination of Samsung selling off their HDD division to Seagate really steering myself away from submitting an RMA and being too lazy to back it up I'm tempting fate due to having about 1TB of work assets on there.

Thanks. And once I do... Games!
Maybe this is a sign that Valve will finally be expanding the automatic refund feature to include unused gifts... you know, like the text has said since it launched six months ago:
All this talk of hard drive failure is making me paranoid. I've got four in my system:
1) OS Drive on 80GB SSD
2) Media Drive - 1TB
3) Game Drive - 1TB
4) Downloads/Cache Drive - 500GB
The 500GB drive is probably close to 10 years old, believe it or not, and still running. The other 3 are 4, almost 5 years old. I really need to get a 3 or 4 TB to replace my Game drive, since my internet provider recently instituted a 250GB monthly cap for my tier of internet service. Normally, it wouldn't be so bad, but there's 4 heavy internet users in my house right now. So, some games being 20+ GB really, really hurts.

I just noticed that the first Call of Juarez game isn't available to purchase on Steam currently. Really annoying, I was planning on picking it up during the winter sale.
Here's a bunch of stuff that went unclaimed in the past:

i have all of that, your koala ways dont work on me!
I noticed it is not possible to buy it, some time ago, but somehow forgot to post it and wasn't sure is it my regional thing or not. There are two more removed games that I was going to post about: Clive Barker's Jericho and NASCAR The Game: 2013 (I bought it just in time)

Because of the Jericho removal, my Steam account is even more valuable.
trying to idle for curds in "Dead Effect" this first person EA space horror game.. It dropped a foil a while ago, and then I went and played something, came back to idle for curds and it's been damn near an hour or so and still no card drop.
I also got a foil dropped by idling Cloudbuilt earlier today..
Does getting foils reduce your drop rate for normal cards somehow?
also, getting foils is a curse they take forever to sell IMO.. but it was nice the other day when I found out an Antisquad foil that I got finally sold after a month on the market...
edit: it's taken so long I actually played the first mission/episode whatever and it seems OK.. nice atmosphere and everything but I killed everyone w/ an electric zap gun thing pretty easily and I'm playing on Hard
