I agree, which is why I suggest the threshold be way above a person simply being popular among a particular clique. The list wouldn't be public and there could potentially be other ways onto the list, like being a mega-megagiver.

It would also be moderated by the blacklist, so if abuse comes up it could be taken care of quickly.

We already have modbot options geared more towards this specific community, so I don't see it as that much of a further step down that dark path.

How would it be implemented? Short of adding a karma system to GAF as a whole.

Really? Holy shit, we need something to capitalize on this. I ditched TWD because I think the timed decisions are absolute bullshit. Sometimes I can barely even read through them before they turn off because I'm trying to imagine the character saying them and interpret the intent conveyed by the statement. Then again, my conceptions are sometimes a misinterpretation anyway and I act completely different than I want to, so even with untimed conversations it would fall behind something like, say, Dragon Age which has a mood/context indicator in brackets next to each statement, or Alpha Protocol which has static "moods" for conversational direction.

My girlfriend got caught running out of time in some of the decisions in Wolf Among Us. The dialogue keeps going while the prompt is on the screen, and she wanted to hear what everyone had to say before committing.

Yes, that is another reason why they are complete bullshit. They require you to be an impulsive, inconsiderate ass who decides things to themselves before hearing others out.

Which time zone does Valve go off of? Because in the UK it's less than 10 minutes until the 19th.

We should all join hands in a pagan ritual and summon our great GABEN

I think it'll be 6pm tomorrow in UK time the sale will start.

Not only that, but hearing people out gives you the wrong context. There's a scene where Alice and Bob (real names would be spoilery I guess?) are arguing and Alice says something and then Bob argues back. If you pick a response like "What are you talking about?" it seems you're responding to Bob, but it offends Alice because the dialogue prompt came up in response to her.

I can't believe it's almost here. I'll have to add funds to my wallet tonight! I just want to play Banished so badly, and get a good discount for Rise of Nations, and a long etc.

I'll try to craft the badge this time.

Yeah, something like that happened to me, hence me quitting at the start of chapter 2.
Especially with the incredibly stupid "villain" character in the picture.

BTW this is also why I don't hold back in my criticisms of games. It seems Telltale heard the near-unanimous love for TWD and just copied the approach with Wolf when there were serious issues in the gameplay to work out.

Wow, that's awesome. I was confused by the whole "Wait for the dailies" thing, as I'm relatively new to Steam, and was confused by the whole Summer Sale, dailies, flash sales, etc.

So daily deals, judging by the image, are the lowest a game gets in cost?

Shouldn't the "wait" square go back to the start?

I don't know, man. Seems to me you'd still want a game, even if you couldn't gnab it for as cheaply as you'd want, so going back to the second one makes sense.
