Cool, thanks.
Pm modbot 'my loot'
The "my loot" command now generates a list of all the tiles that you've given away.
Edit: I'm useless today.
I would also like some opinions about Stomping Land, it looks interesting.
Valiant Hearts is available for pre-order.

Nielsen survey of gaming time shows consoles overtaking PC again
The newest generation of consoles account for 4 percent of Americans' gaming time according to research from the ratings firm Nielsen, with time spent on PC games dipping below consoles overall again.
Meanwhile, mobile gaming, whether on tablets or smartphones, showed the most growth among users ages 13 or older, Nielsen found. Mobile gaming accounts for more than 6 hours a week of gaming time, a 12 percent increase from the 5.6 hours per week calculated by the same survey in 2012.
Among all gaming segments, the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii accounted for the greatest percentage of playing time at 34 percent. PC gaming accounted for 33 percent of gamers' time. Both figures declined from the 2012 survey, further evidence of mobile gaming's rise and appeal to all gamers.
In fact, the percentage of console gamers who say they also game on mobiles and tablets went up from 46 percent to 50 percent.
PC had been the leader in the share of overall gaming time in the previous survey 39 percent to consoles' 37 percent in 2012. The addition of three new consoles in 2013 may have helped consoles, but in 2011 consoles also led PC with on seventh-generation hardware only, 41 to 38 percent.
Overall, time spent playing video games on any platform has risen, from 5.6 hours in 2012 to 6.3 hours in the latest survey. Almost 2 out of 3 Americans, or 64 percent, play video games on some device, though that figure has held steady the past four years.
The Nielsen data was based on a survey of more than 2,000 consumers in the U.S. The survey was taken in late 2013 and early this year.

First giveaway, please be gentle
Such a great game - I dropped 30 hours into it and still haven't scratched the surface. Well worth a play.
"New" thread and new giveaway. This time only one game.
Cryostasis, no longer available on Steam. This code should work, but I can't guarantee it since it's been quite some time since I got it.
Also trying out this megagivers thingie.
Damn. Now this is a give away. Enjoy this whoever wins, definitely worth the play through.
Awesome! I'm eligible almost two times over!
The Forest seems like it has a great base going forward, but has a few bugs that cropped up during release to bring it down a bit. Currently, the saving system is broken but the developers are pushing an update as fast as they can.

Is The Forest single player focused survival? Like with a campaign?

It takes forever for SSF IV to sync on Steam now.....more like 10 minutes, but it's usually a few seconds, jeez.

It does but its supposedly super short. I'm waiting for reviews.
Yes, but it doesn't give you any goals or what to do, you have to work that out yourself.
There is also a co-op mode planned.

According to my loot email, I've given away 137(!) games. I actually thought it was much less (around 60 or so).
Kind of surprised by that, but happy all the same.

Does it have achievements? (I'm guessing yes.)
If so, they're showing up Don't Starve already... :lol:
Man I love the soundtrack for that game.
I convinced my friend to try RE6 because I keep hearing pretty good things about its mechanics, he gave it a try from his friend's library and liked it, so he ended up buying it from gmg with his playfire credits just so he could play coop with his friend.
I've actually never played re6, now i get to play it from his library.
all according to sudoku
if i enjoy it i'll make my other friend buy it in the next sale for coop, thanks family sharing!

I always wanted to try this game. I might even qualify for this giveaway. Thank you, I'll try my luck.
Bah. You're never useless, man. No matter what happens, we can always count on you to bring the Saoirse joy. : )

And people were worried that family sharing would encourage people to buy less games. Looks like the opposite to me! >.>
Not yet, but they are coming eventually.
I've given exactly 25 games. LOL

Yeah I'm still annoyed by their stance on achievements. They had to add trophies to the PS4 version no?

Liberated: GSC Game World ditches GameSpy in all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games
Fans of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. rejoice: GSC Game World has just released a patch to each S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game that replaces the now defunct GameSpy with their own servers. Steam users will receive patches for each game automatically, while the rest will have to manually download a patch from the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. website.
If you didn’t buy your copies from Steam, you’ll need to head over to here to download the new patch for each S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat.
Further instructions ask that players create their new profiles within “Call of Pripyat”, and reminds users that while the online functionality has been saved, the game statistics couldn’t.
So it's a fresh start for everyone!

Yes. Just start up GeForce Experience, open ShadowPlay in the top right corner, and click on the power button. You can then choose Twitch in Mode. You need to log into your account as well.
It's super awesome and very pretty so far. I'm only tired of my character's breathing.
I killed a rabbit as my first kill but when I attempted to shoot the deer, I realized I didn't have a license hehe.
Apology for no camera and voice, hopefully I can get that with a webcam tomorrow.
To anyone watching, is there any game sound on my stream?

Wait... GSC Game World still exist? Huh? I thought they were defunct.

I played Cryostasis earlier this year, and it was actually much better than I was anticipating. I'm not going to write full thoughts on it as you can't buy it anymore so there's not much of a point, but the game does a good job at introducing new elements, goes in very unexpected directions, and had some definite stand-out moments and a few good scary elements here and there.
To best describe it would be to say imagine BioShock combined with Echo Night combined with Condemned. It doesn't pull off all of its ideas successfully, but it did much better than I expected in other areas. And again, I was legitimately impressed the game managed to introduce new things all the way through to the end of the game.
It's optimized to shit unfortunately, but I think it's a horror game worth played, and an underlooked rough gem.
