Yep, Director's Cut for me too (thanks, Rockin' Ranger, for the very generous giveaway!).



Have you tried Ultra-Nightmare yet?
The difficulty or the graphical settings? I've only play Ultra Violence so far because I thought nightmare was locked :(

Also I have a 770 so I can't run Nightmare graphics probably but I haven't bothered to try either.
I'd rather have both for 0.50 USD each.
Doubling up on those taco shits.

Just went ahead and tried my Mafia II key as well (I had the base game but no DLC) and it activated the Director's Cut, giving me all the DLC (except the Deluxe dlc ironically enough). Thanks for the tip guys.

i won both Duke Nukem raffles, how about that! I can only get so erect though, so here you can try your chances again..

IMPORTANT! - Note that I changed the last digit of the steam key, otherwise modbot would return an error (i think). Either way, when you win, you need to change the 6 at the end to 7.

I wonder if the crazy stuff Digital Homicide is pulling will be next:


1000 keys for $200, 10,000 for 1k and 100k for 5k!

All the groups created specifically for giveaways then once the group gets popular it's onsold to someone else and the cycle perpetuates.

holy crap. someone's giving away a $40 game the day it releases? now that's classy.

before I start Setsuna, I wanna finish up Axiom Verge.
I got 81% of the map clear. went through the part with the Sudran key, and then just got the powerup where the teleport-dash thing now breaks blocks and damages enemies. am I 81%? done, I mean I'd assume I'm closer and have missed a ton of weapons and notes and powerups. like half the notes I pick up I still can't even read. but
how close am I to the end? also, this game's awesome

Playing 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, Koshiro does wonders once again, the man just never ceases to disappoint me in terms of music.
 

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Bringing this from the skin gambling thread:

I wonder if the accounts would actually be suspended. Valve hasn't done that since implementing the restriction system. ~four-and-a-half years ago, but then this is a particularly special case.

At some point Valve is going to have to put some limits/charges on key generation. Stuff like this and the fraud issues are just getting out of hand. And the AAA publishers are putting up their own services anyway.
 
too bad setsuna didn't come out for vita like it did in japan. hows the game on pc, a good port?

I agree completely. I think the Vita port had issues, but hopefully it was patched to run better in Japan.

You'd think the general cost of porting the Vita version when they're already localizing it for Steam/PS4 wouldn't be that much and they could offer digital only and still make whatever was spent on it back and then some with the core Vita userbase that still loves their handheld and support it with a ridiculously high attach rate.

If you have the red coat now, you can access the final area and beat the game.
And yes, Axiom Verge is fantastic. Even more so when you realize it was all done by a single dude. Tom Happ, you're amazing.
 
I lie how everything is just focusing on csgo sites.

CSGO is pretty high profile these days -- even more than DOTA2; they have some "E-League" show on TBS now Friday nights that's some CSGO competition. I both laugh and cringe everytime I hear the commercial...

What other games have sites that would fit in the gambling issue? DOTA2?

Yep. Dota2lounge for example.

alright, I figured I was close. those yellow enemies in the are where that coat were were very Metroid-ish, and you usually don't see those till the end of the Metroid games. cool

also, I popped on NBA2K16 for a few minutes earlier after I got it from the Humble Bundle. it seems to run great (on my Alpha). not sure why the Steam reviews are so poor. I guess I just had no idea people play sports games for the story mode.

So either they're ridiculously blind to that fact or they don't seem to care because there's no "scandal" going on regarding them...

Well Dota2Lounge is in list. I guess they chose biggest sites. Smaller sites are easier to ignore, "hey we didn't know about that site".

I somehow doubt Valve is going to continue this hunt unless it might cause another scandal. Maybe even hope sites go 'underground', so they can continue to benefit.

Can't Valve track these betting sites via API usage? All these sites need an API key and if they can see what kind of traffic each key are use for then maybe Valve can send C&D letters to the smaller sites too.

Youre the reason why we cant have good things

I will only pay so much for disappointment.

Speaking of which FEAR 3 has been beaten. It had one of those "we ran out of funding and the pub wants it now endings."

The entire FEAR franchise's narrative sounds great if you learn of it out of game but then you play it and it is just mediocre. Maybe one or two late game scenes in the first game stand out to me.

I guess the series is dead unless it gets a reboot down the line.

Getting that power up puts you almost at the end but I'm pretty sure percentage is only based on item pickups like in Metroid.

And yes Axiom Verge is great.

OpenID doesn't require API key. So sites could easily hide from Valve, if they wanted.

Of course Valve could flag accounts that do high frequent trading for closer look.

Relevant question is how far they are willing to go?

But they can still track what kind of data that is requested and sent?
