If they can't contact you normally, and you need to go to some other website or add them or their friend; they aren't worth your time. The hassle you will have to endure if it is a scam negates any benefit you could gain from the trade being legitimate.

Man, I REALLY want X-Rebirth, but not at that price. Not with the technical issues it supposedly has.

At least you didn't accept downloading.

Yeah that happens a lot and I'm certain the link was not correctly spelled.
Usually one letter replaced to make it look like the real link, like "steamcomrnunity" or shit.
Always check the link, I even do that for new bundle sites that want me to login on Steam, and ignore everyone asking you to add a guy who couldn't add you.

Are we really better than that? No, no we are not.

Guys, you should have saved that title for the June thread.
Starting in the last week or two, I've been getting to experience the wonders of modern-day internet digital experiences. 
I'm on my third cable modem (it was replaced twice, then one cable guy looked at the connection, then a second one showed up, and they both dug around, and eventually removed a splitter in the wall, and concluded things were better).
It was working fine for a while, but now quite often if I open a page or two of the screenshots thread, or open Steam which promptly starts downloading game updates at 1 MB/second (8Mbps), my internet completely dies. Eventually, the cable modem light goes off, then blinks slowly, then blinks rapidly, then comes back and I can ipconfig /flushdns to recover.
If anyone has any clues what this might be besides cable line/modem problems I'd love to hear them.

That is awesome that it was your first Mass Effect in that case and hope it ME2 will please you till the end. I just couldn't connect with the story to the point where I didn't give a fuck and I thought "Hold on a minute, that is strange". With ME2 I had this rush/urgency/mybloodwasboiling type of thing; I had to see through it all. I think what I was missing was the climax. I wanted more epicness, more "Oh fuck me" moments.
Can't put it into words. Won't spoil it for you but ME2's ending is phenomenal.
Anyhow, when I read this it brought me to tears because it seemed such a standard first-post in NeoGaf
Interesting enough and from what I saw, Wii U had the least bugs in comparison with PS3 and Xbox 360.
I think
I've played the first 2 Mass Effects, relatively soon after one another and while I really enjoyed the second one I couldn't really get over how jarring some of the changes were. Abilities were nerfed to shit, guns were nerfed to shit, exploration was nerfed to shit, you can see the cracks where thermal clips were hastily jammed into the lore and the paragon/renegade system changed from goodie two-shoes/arsehole to passive aggressive arsehole/blatant arsehole in a lot of places.
The fact that scammers are having to resort to getting you to upload your authentification files is a good sign that Steam Guard is working as intended.

I wasn't aware of that kind of phishing scam so I'm thankful that BY2K shared.

There's worse ways to leave your mark on Gaf than that, at least.
There's a somewhat similar scam linked to in the OP. Not exactly the same, but similar, especially in regards to someone asking you to add someone else thats wants to trade with you.
Same here.
Well, you certainly can get passionate about review scores at the least.
Well, Arkham Knight's skipping PS3 and 360 too, so unless the extra 512 MB of available RAM is just enough to squeeze in the Batmobile it really wouldn't be able to handle it as they're cutting those two off explicitly to not be held back. One of the few major upcoming games that's willing to not be cross gen, fortunately.

Hahah. Because WiiU would've been enough of a reply, I think.
And you're not serious about ME2's ending are you?
The final sections and the ending are some of the biggest disappointments I've ever experienced in gaming.
That is huge then. I didn't know that. We don't have many games right now that are not cross gen do we?
And by the way who the hell is this?

It's a new character made especially for the game called the Arkham Knight.

It's a new character called the Arkham Knight. But let's be honest, it's probably the Joker.

I'm so close to this last playfire reward for 99 spirits... I just need to grind out some gem points to upgrade the 4th and 5th gems and buy a few attack up items, I think.

Bastion's a lot better from how I remembered. I think it's because I finally got to the part where you can use idols to make the game more challenging.
That's BatBot. Or RoboBatCop. Can't remember.
His name is Arkham Knight, it's a completely new character.

I still can't upload my screenshots to steam cloud ugh!
They had some really cool ideas for where to take the Mass Effect plot after the first thing. Unfortunately they scrapped all of those and we ended up with ME2.
I was incredibly disappointed when I realized what they chose for an ending.
I was all disappointed in how much streamlining took place. Skyrim levels of dumbing down, did they really need to remove every RPG mechanic?

What else were they going to do? Put work in to improve them?
Why would he not be serious? When people makes threads about best final levels ever, the Suicide Mission usually comes up. It's a pretty popular final level (and with good reason imo).

You can do it!
You really only need to max "Raise" on both gems, no need for the other upgrades.
Basically what you can boil it down to.
There were legitimate complaints about the inventory and level-up UI being too convoluted. Rather than taking that criticism and improving the game, they just removed those elements all together.
Mass Effect 2 went on to win the GAF GOTY for that year. New Vegas got the #13 spot by the way.
This is Bioware we're talking about. Their response to any criticism is to simply remove the object of criticism.
Sadly, it works for them.
EDIT: Dammit grief
Not only have I been keeping track, but I also track the formula for total cards + drops and the amount of time it would take to get badges for all games at optimal drop rates of once every two weeks (gonna change it to five weeks, since that seems to be my current rate). My data's a BIT out of date, so I'm going to have to update it soonish.

I suddenly hate all of NeoGAF for some reason now.
And ME2 beat Super Mario Galaxy 2? Yep. Hate GAF.
toddhunter

Pretty much (also see Titanfall for more EA related shenanigans).
Not that ME2 was a bad game of course, in fact it was a very good one. It was just a different genre.

I just don't know how anyone could like that ending and the suicide mission at all. It's all pointless. You have to actively TRY to get people killed from my experience. And in the very end of everything, after you destroy
The terminator baby thing you pretty much are back at square one. It's like one of those kids cartoons where a villian shows up, the team foils the villains plan, and nothing really advances the overarching story. Furthermore, none of the "choices" you make in ME1 have any real effect on ME2 and none of the choices in ME2 really have much of an effect on ME3. Bioware did the choices better with DA:O, that's for sure.

Mass Effect was never plotted out and Drew Karphysn's dark energy ending was even dumber than the one we got.
They didn't remove everything, just the stuff that didn't make sense (all the gun handling/redundant skills and the terrible inventory). That said, Bioware got hobbled by H1N1 kicking their staff's ass and probably not understanding some of the nuances of the ME1 criticism.
toddhunter

I think the point was all that stuff made sense, it was just poorly implemented. Removing it and replacing it with left clicking more wasn't my ideal solution.

Spent my Playfire rewards on Starbound (ending up paying just £1.50) and been playing it this evening.
It's a bit tough to get into at first but i'm getting into the swing of it now.
It would be unfair to compare it to Terraria when i've only played 4 hours but i love the sci-fi edge to it, but i miss Terraria's quirky side.

I understand that, ME2 was a pretty self-contained story so I get why people may not like it in the grand scheme of things, but I like it anyway since it felt like such a satisfactory, well-put together package (compare to ME3 which feels very incomplete without the DLC). About the choices, yeah, a lot of them don't have much of an effect overall, but saying that none of them do is just hyperbole.
Notably, the outcome of the Tuchanka and Rannoch arcs are very dependent on choices you made on ME2, as well as certain teammates surviving to 3.
He's got the Gaben Shield in another video, so I'm sure he does.
I've seen that on at least two menus.here's an example of one of the stores in the game's city.
I was going to guess Jason Todd, but you're right.

Just trying out the Steam streaming thing, it's great since I have a new laptop ^.^
So how does the settings work, like resolution, video, etc.? is it saved on the streaming computer or locally on the recieving pc? I'm kinda confused, and the steam streaming page doesn't seem to have that information D:
