I'll build one out of Lego. The best part will be that if I ever crash I can just piece it back together. It'll go well with my future life-size Lego house.

I don't mind it. I just stack shelves, so it's not the most stimulating work in the world, but since there's no downtime aside from a 15-minute break (I do five-hour shifts), the time flies by. My only gripe is that it's ~a one-hour round trip and my car likes to chug fuel, so once I've put in 2-3 months in I'm going to pursue transfer opportunities in hope of getting a position a bit closer to home.
No trains or buses? At my first college it would take me an hour and a half to get there(2 hours when the train was really slow). Hated it so much, but luckily the school paid for my transportation so I cant complain.

Isn't LEGO like prohibitively expensive compared to everywhere else?

USA - $50 set
Everyone else except Australia - $65
Straya - $150

It doesn't quite bother me to the point where I'd consider public transport. ;)

Haha, probably. I can't remember the last time I bought a set.


He totally stole my idea.

What did I miss?
All I know is now I don't have to bug people on steam chat.

tracking the new DS2 upgrade thing, the 30 inventory, shadownet the ghost, and think that was it.

Oops, I forgot to say welcome back.

Welcome back! You beautiful smut-peddler you!

Guys, I'm appreciating SO MUCH all the recent spiders posts. Really.
Thank you.
Like, you know, there isn't ONLY zkylon that has problems with them.
Yesterday I got in the car and I found a spider on my windshield. I waited 10 minutes waiting for its move and hoping it was OUTSIDE, but of course it was inside, and I had to use a used tissue I had lying around to kill it, and then I left the tissue in the car and I forgot about it until now and I suppose overnight it laid eggs and shit and now my car is overwhelmed by spiders.



lol


And then firefox crashed and cart was gone... Would've been very nice price even thought I have both.

And that's why you use Chrome.



Not true, actually you should use it for Enhanced Steam, if anything. :p
 
for those that missed super cheap wolfenstein: it seems that the version they have on nuuvem registers as a preorder copy, meaning you'll not only get doom 4 beta access but it also includes about $2 worth of TF2 items, so it comes out to around $14 overall. not bad.

Hmmm...1/2 of your ping added as delay.

Is that really the best solution they could come up with.

That's clarified later into the conversation:

- going by 16.67 ms/sec, would that mean 100 ping = 50 = 3 frames of delay?

- Yes, 100ms ping = 3 frame delay.

It doesn't sound all that bad, but then I don't play fighting games.

It fares better than 3, or at least it did prior to the PhysX patch (it also introduced cloth physics, which aren't achieved using PhysX and thus can't be disabled).

Do you think the game is worth 20$ (or Gold for 30$). Im asking since Ive already finished it on PS4, so I don't know...

If you've already finished it on the PS4, there's no point in buying the PC version for $20/$30. If you want it for posterity, just wait until it's 75% off.

I'm just too depressed now. It's like someone was offering me candy in his hands (the $5 Wolf), and when I went to grab it he slapped me in the face. Then a slice of bread fell out of his pants and onto the ground, and he told me to eat that instead.

And then someone across the street said "here have some chocolate" (GMG offering Dishonored). So as I walked across the street he tells me he doesn't like Australians and offers me some yogurt instead.

I don't even know what I'm saying anymore...

Well I'm surprised to come to this thread today 1) is not locked seeing that a sale is on and 2) has more new posts than where sale thread left off for me. Wasn't going to bit on anything outside of MGSV GZ (if it bloody well turns up) plus seeing as I've just spent a small fortune on SSD's but The Evil Within for less than a tenner is too tempting.

Edit: And then I fucking scroll up the page and see tha Gamersgate had another pricing meltdown *grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

So apparently, the Key GMG have given me for Wolfenstein TNO is a Pre-purchase ROW key. Are they meant to be doing that, and do I get what ever pre-purchase stuff that came with it, namely TF2 items iirc?
 
...is it sad that I kinda want to stay home playing games instead of going to my aunts for thanksgiving...? I think I'm gonna bite on evil within when I get home so I'll have that and I just got garden warfare yesterday which is also really fun, I just wanna play games today man

No they probably shouldn't be doing that, and yes you do get the pre-order stuff.

Edit: Oh, is it that Thanksgiving thing today? I should have realised when they said there wasn't going to be a new episode of Serial this week.

You get TF2-items. Just launch TF2-items.

I had same code & got items.

You won't get Doom 4 thought, because you should get extra code to reigster on that webpage.

Retailers usually cull any leftover pre-order keys, but I'm assuming Bethesda didn't push that request through, leaving GMG free to work through leftover stock. You'll get the TF2 items once you've booted up TF2 (either directly or via SAM/the app id trick) as Bethesda didn't make a retail-specific sub.

Edit: Kindasorta b10.

Urgh I want to buy that Wolfenstein from GMG so much but no GMG credit :/ I guess no Wolf for me.

Well I already beat it on PS3. But that game is just too good. Hopefully it will be $10 during Winter Sale.

Day 2, and I still haven't spend any money.

My physical retail copy key has the same sub name.

It actually is retail specific sub.

Steam Store preorder: https://steamdb.info/sub/44649/
Retail preorder: https://steamdb.info/sub/41632/

Difference is Doom 4 Beta included in Steam store version.

Actually, they're both Store or CD Key subs: 41632 was the original pre-order sub used on the store and 44649 replaced it for a few days following the game's release because there was a sort of "grace period" for beta access, presumably related to the fact that the X1 didn't support digital pre-orders at the time, which left a window of a few days following launch as the closest alternative.

My account history said:
Wolfenstein: The New Order ROW Pre-Purchase Gift/Guest Pass
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Preorder Bundle Gift/Guest Pass
Tesla Effect Pre-Purchase Gift/Guest Pass

(Since the sub section doesn't have date info, I threw in the two gifts I'd activated before Wolf14 for temporal context.)

Further, if you look into the history of each sub, you'll see "Removed store name" on both.

Ok, now I have no idea whether I'll be getting the Doom 4 beta or not. I didn't get any sort of code for it, but I do have "Wolfenstein: The New Order ROW Pre-Purchase" in my account and got the TF2 items.

Edit: Guess I won't be getting the beta.

You will. It's practically impossible for Bethesda to distinguish those who actually pre-ordered the game from those who bought a pre-order key after its release.

Was company of Heroes 2 ever in a bundle?
I was able to add the DLC from the Humble Bundle to my account but I never remember buying it.
