Point and click games remind me that I really need to pick it up and work on Broken Sword 1 and 2 soon, I really like those games too so I don't see why I should delay too much.

Have you heard of GIBHARD? Neither did I.

It's an oldschool FPS that should come to greenlight soon. Looks pretty awesome

But that's the thing: the dogs wander around the place by default and yet throwing bait instantly triggers a suspicious state among guards. You could dump it 20 meters away from anybody and completely out of sight to no avail.

Usually this isn't a problem, but this "Outpost Master" side-mission has a fairly ridiculous point requirement for gold that is completely impossible to get without air/chain/knife throw takedowns.

Amazon has an undisclosed purchase limit in place, problem is they never tell you what the limit is and it can potentially get your account closed if you order too much.

I had one of my Hitman orders cancelled for that reason but my account was fine.

I dont order multiple copies of games and such, but the fact that they don't tell you the limits is absolutely ridiculous, how do you expect people to stay within limits that aren't defined to them whatsoever? Especially on mundane everyday use products.

That, in Far Cry 4, you can't throw bait to distract dogs without also attracting some attention from guards is utterly ridiculous. It's a dog. It's going to wander off and do its own thing from time to time.

Vote for jase. Vote for dog realism.
Maybe they're superdogs with ESP.

I had a dream last night that I was the person who won JaseC's account-access modbot giveaway. What a cruel world to wake up into this morning.

Yeah, but I thought it was only for CSGO, TF2, DOTA2 stuff etc.
What a crap. So you need to wait 15 days to sell your staff, good luck on selling some cheap cards than.

Well, I am going to wait a week or so and install mobile authenticator if they don't roll that plan back. I don't like it, but it's better than a 15-day hold.

volvo makes less and less sense with every passing day, I'd say it's SuperNonsense even.

In other news Stardew Valley is still a top seller? That's amazing

Yeah, but the fact is, I can't do that. I have only a Kindle Fire, and you can only download apps from Amazon Store. Yes, there's a way to force external apps into it, but I don't really want honestly.
Also, why they can't provide a SMS service?
Humble and Origin do that, it works. Without the need of an app on your smartphone/tablet.
Why Valve can't do this, even if they already ask for your phone nmber?

15 days seems a tad overzealous....even the 72 hour trade delay felt like ages, and so for those people who can't really use the mobile authenticator (I don't even use a mobile phone!) it feels like Steam is discriminating.....surely they'll have to set up an alternative??

They can (sms auth) but it costs them money. Since it seems they are doing the IMPOSSIBLE in order to spend almost nothing (see the translation mess with token, Dota 2 tournament with paid people involved, the crappy customer support), I doubt they will implement this.
EDIT: It seems the app is on Amazon too

MGSV got a new security update and new online development items. So you can now place 2 cameras and 8 mines on your FOB. That just about makes it impossible to infiltrate a maxed up FOB with S+ rank sniper security.

You can pretty much block off the entire bridge with mines lol. Bad news for invaders. It was already funny reading through the timeline log to see players trigger your mines when they invade you. That was with only with 4 mines. Now with 8 its gonna be so hilarious.

@GreenManGaming I purchased the 6 dollar game pack from GMG today and received Dark Souls 2 Scholar Edition. This is why I love GMG!!

I assume this is about the mystery game bundle? if so, are the games in it random? because otherwise wouldnt people just mass buy this bundle for scholar of the first sin no?

Games are random but the good games are:
-South Park Stick of Truth
-COD Black ops 1
-COD Black ops 2
-COD Black ops 3
-Dark Souls 2 SoTFS
But those are probably 1% chance of appearing and you're likely to end up with fodder like
RETURNNULL, ZACKZERO, BATTLEPATHS, BRIDGECONSTRUCTOR, VERTICALDROPHEROESHD
and vowing never to spend $7 on mystery/lucky bags again. At least it isn't £15...

If you want gamble though you missed you chance where indiegala was offering a secret steam game with every purchase which if the banner was correct meant games Uncharted 4 and Gears of War 3 (so secret not even steamdb knows)...it was mostly vanguard princess though
