Yanno, I really do hope that after the big giveaways time out and people stop worrying about being throttled, folks will go back and claim some of the keys floating around in the thread right now. :p

At the same time, I hope people will stop literally begging others to take their keys just so they can reach megagiver status.

Here is a useless piece of trivia: if Subnautica doesn't release (or more accurately, due to Early Access, isn't purchaseable) within the next ~7.5 months, it'll dethrone South Park as the game with the longest store page -> release period.

Hold that thought I've had an idea. You use Fireworks yes?

I only played 44 minutes of Vertical Drop Heroes HD, but I already like it enough. I only managed to reach level 3 or 4, not sure, while Initially I kept destroying myself on level 2 but working your path down trying to not kill anything for the Pacifist route (only once did I manage to get down not killing anything, but then I didn't have enough keys to open the path to the exit lol) or trying to activate every alarm just because killing fools is always cool has been fun.

Yeah I had a playaround with on Kongrergate from the link derExperte posted. Umming and ahhing but all the talk in this thread has been great so far.

Yeah, but I wouldn't say I'm intimately familiar with its features. I know how to make avatars and gifs, but that's about it, haha. Don't really need it for anything else. ;)

I'm really new here, and this is kinda new for me, but i felt i gotta say something...
I don't know sub zero too much, and never talked to him\you, but what I do know from what I saw, is that he's always helping, have a huge generous heart and lots of good friends,
it saddens me to see how several people(I tried to find what happened but I didn't succeed :( ) make someone feel so unwanted and make him leave, this thing here is how terrorism works, I really hope he'll come back and i really hope that those who did this will just chill and think again about what they've done...
and to Sub Zero i say, keep being awesome, you will be missed, even by me :p
Click to expand...

did you actually equate what happened here to terrorism? Come on dude.

and these whole 'Im new, but he seems like a great guy' posts are getting annoying.

What is being throttled?
Click to expand...
Finally, ModBot has a "throttle" that prevents you from winning games back to back to back to back. You need to wait a little while between wins. The throttle starts around 15 minutes between wins, and ramps up based on the number of wins you've had in the last week. This means that if you just won something, you will need to wait a minimum of 15 minutes to win again. If you reply in-thread a ModBot administrator can check the logs and follow up to see if you were throttled, but a better policy would be for you to not be a jerk and recognize that if you've already won a half-dozen games this week, maybe it's okay to let someone else have a shot. Please do not send requests to inquire whether you are throttled; police yourself by choosing not to win dozens of games a week. Be a nice person.

Edit: Oh good, for a moment there I thought I accidentally posted this as a reply to the ModBot guide thread, haha.

And here I was wondering why everyone was clearing out their stocks of keys, LOL. HBD, sir!

I'm having a hard time putting OlliOlli down. It took a bit of time to get the controls down, but now I'm stuck in that "just one more try" loop. It's a lot of fun to play, and having an awesome soundtrack doesn't hurt.

It's really too bad indie devs don't release demos on launch. I know it's not easy to do, but I would probably buy a lot more of them on launch.

I thought people were exaggerating about Gish now that I've finally played it... This shit won awards? I guess the idea is cute but the execution is horrendous, and McMillen apparently couldn't draw yet at that point.

I liked Fate, on the other hand. I thought ain't nobody got time for old games but I think I want to play this one, it's cute.

One day Stump is going to make the horrible mistake of creating seven more Modbots, and the ten of them will become self-aware in every thread.

They'll start hacking into Steam accounts and buying games on your behalf, eventually flooding this thread and spreading into others.

Before long, they'll start winning their own giveaways and posting giant pictures thanking one another.

All because we put to much faith in the machine.

It free market live in front of our eyes. Shadownets giveaway opened the floodgates and subsequently lead to a giveaway inflation, where usually sought after games vanish in the shadow of high profile ones being available at the same time. Fear of getting throttled adds even more to this effect.
There are two solutions:
1. Re-register using garbage-dump
2. Re-register after Shadownets giveaway is over
Hugstable said:
Heh so many giveaways with it I coulda entered, but dat .gif misled me for so long! I didn't know it started off as a mobile game either. I just think it's funny that that .gif is still being passed around all the time when it doesn't represent the game at all anymore considering it was just a bug. I still need to remod Deus Ex 1 again and do another playthrough of that, haven't played DX1 in about 3 years or so now and I used to play it every 2 years haha. The original has so many paths and augments that you can play through the game a few times and still be fun since things will go different depending on how you approach the game.
Click to expand...
Yeah, one has to be cautious not getting caught in the hyperbole. Lot of games ship bugged/broken; some more, some less. Always try to take a step back before going full on disdain for a game.
And now you've done it. Am at the verge of reinstalling Deus Ex, one of my GOAT. So much fun, so much joy.

20 uninstalled games. I'm sure that seemed like a lot at the time. And here's something that tugged at my heartstrings:

yes i have, this is my opinion, and yes i am new here and in the time I've been here I never saw sub being mean to anyone here
Making someone feeling so bad that he actually leaves, that's just sad and bad, and it's more than just bullying..

anyways, I'm going to stop here...
clearly there's more here than i know

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
So I decided I'd dive into a feature for Enhanced Steam that I've been considering for a while, which should help facilitate trading. When looking at a Steam inventory (your own or anyone else's) it'll now show the current store prices of any "Steam Gift" item you select.

For example:

This should save people a few clicks hopefully. Also, nothing will be different on gifts of games that are either Free to Play or are no longer available for sale on Steam.

I am 90% sure this key isn't used. I bought the game for myself through Steam, so I don't think I would have redeemed the key, nor do I remember giving it away. If it is taken, my sincerest apologies.

TY for Crysis 2! Apparently, I never had it on Steam or Origin, and this is the one I've been dying to play.
Click to expand...

It's still Crysis at heart (mostly), but if you're hoping for a "wide-linear" experience akin to the original, albeit with a different setting, then I'd temper those expectations. Crytek touting the city as an "urban jungle" ended up being a load of hogwash.

I love that Shadownet's birthday has turned into such a big event. More on topic: I was feeling a little frustrated in Divinity about being under leveled until I realized
I didn't have to do the whole Immaculates sorry to take the barrier around the house down.
