I'm done buying from any other sales until the summer sale hits. Except for maybe buying some games with keys that are brand new, but that's about it.

Any game given away through ModBot that has a current Steam price higher than $29.99 USD and that's identified properly by ModBot (title match with Steam, icon displayed) will be marked with a "HOT" icon going forward. ¡Muy calliente!

our first sighting of a young whipper snapper who never played shooters before cod took over the genre.

"no progression" lol
 
Is there any reason to buy any Unreal Tournament besides the first GOTY edition and 2K4?

Though it's 2 cents cheaper to buy all 4 on GOG.

edit: GOG deal is only Unreal 1 and 2, AND Tournament GOTY and 2k4. Not sure how I misread it.
 
I'm conflicted on supporting Uruguay in football matches. On the one hand, Forlan is a legend. On the other hand there's Suarez who should have been banned for life from FIFA for what he did. Hmm...

I had the same conflict, so I'm supporting Costa Rica. They just want to spread the love, so tried to give out some hugs. Ref just doesn't get it

Payday 2 streams of The Big Bank: http://steamcommunity.com/games/218620/events/1715057986501925934

A select few streamers have been given access to the E3 build of the Big Bank Heist. They'll be able to stream until the end of the weekend. So come and check out the new heist!

No time to watch now but if the heist keeps what it promises it could be like a relaunch of P2 for me.

PS Uruguay is so bad at defending standards, should be 1:1 now. They'll die against better teams.
 
Finally installed CS GO and played it for a couple hours. Just played the classic deathmatch maps. Not really sure what the hell that game is. It's odd seeing a game like that that doesn't appear to have any progression of any sort. Guess it's based on a time before I started playing FPS.

Probably gonna play it a bit more to see what the "drops" are all about.

The progression in CS, or any fps for that matter, isn't some arbitrary meter filling up with points, Points. POINTS! It's your play leveling up, it's you learning the layouts of maps, you learning player tendencies and how to read what people will do, it's you actually getting better at the game.
 
War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron are considered to be quite good, I wouldn't put much faith into the new one after Activision gutted High Moon.

High Moon isn't even working on Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. It's Edge of Reality, a port house and the studio behind Loadout, some f2p shooter.

Nice. ModBot is getting quite a few upgrades lately so thanks again Stump for the continued support. Though technically speaking something like Deadfall Adventures or Yiaba Ninja Gaiden Z would be labeled HOT. Well everyone has their poison I suppose.

Edit: Hmmm though I do see how this could tie into your other 'Uber Mega Giver' flag you were talking about a while back if that's the case.

I would love to play War For Cybertron at some point, but it's still $59.99 for some absurd (Activision) reason. I don't expect it to dive much during the summer sale, either. One can dream, I guess!
 
Giving away some spare keys I had from the previous Humble Bundles to this amazing community. Good luck!

Now i know for a fact that war for cybertron was just on sale for 20$ recently.
 
Sorry if I offended anyone with my ignorance of what CS GO is. I just picked it up on a Steam sale a couple years ago. Assumed it was just another shooter. I have very little understanding of what shooters were prior to Call of Duty's popularity on consoles. I wasn't trying to belittle them in any way.

That being said I'm actually having quite a bit of fun with the deathmatch. I seem to be doing decent in those matches also which is surprising. I doubt I'll try the competitive any time soon. I'm playing on a 60" tv with a wireless kb/mouse and using the armrest of my recliner as a mousepad so it's not exactly ideal. I suppose i could try a 360 controller but I'm not sure how it would hold up against mouse/kb players.

Anyways I'm gonna try to find some guides on where to start on learning the ins and outs of the game.

Controller support in CS:GO is fucked. They acknowledged it over a year ago, but nothing has been done.

Whoa, really? I mostly stick to Steam sales because of wallet monies, so I'm a little tunnel focused on outside sales. I'll keep an eye out.

Yep, you were right. It was even on sale on Steam at the start of May. Sorry for the misinformation. I'll move it up my doomed wishlist.

Godspeed on your journey, hop into the OT sometime, ask questions. Your setup sounds interesting, but if you can make it work, do it. Just don't use a 360 pad in competitive matchmaking, your team will appreciate you for it.

Counter-Strike is its own beast, it looks like your typical modern warfare shooter but the way it plays couldn't be further from it. Deathmatch is a good place to get your bearings on weapon handling, but the mode's not good for much more than that. Get used to the AK and M4 as they're the bread and butter weapons you can expect to see the most of, along with the AWP. Once you feel comfortable with those, try some casual defuse and hostage matches, and then dip your toes into competitive matchmaking.

If you keep at it, you might find that the game has the kind of progression system that prestige dinging can't compare to.

Suarez didn't make it to this match. Let's see how Uruguay will handle the rest of this match.

Why all this sales had to be now, WHY. I'm rather short on cash right now and I'll most likely have to skip the GOG sale. For the Steam Summer sale I'll have to make it with a $20 card and whatever I can make from card sales, ugh.

Cheapest War for has been is $5 on various sales in the past 6 months.
ATM, you can get it for around 3 TF2 keys.

You should add a new restriction "HOTGIVERSONLY". Pretty sure that only Rhaknar will be eligible

I paid £5.99 @ Gamefly in December. Good Acti sales happen but you have to pay attention all the time, blink and you'll miss them.
