Played the recently released first expansion of Sunrider. Still the same game, with more story.
Ran in some bugs that could be mostly resolved with the steam file check thingy.
Love the tactical and upgrade element of the gameplay. But there are just too few battles alltogether to really appreciate it.

I'm seriously contemplating playing dark souls 2 on ps3.
Already have the copy just sitting there and I would like to play it sooner rather than later.
Though I suppose I could try and hold out until winter sale.

Just tried my gmg key and it worked.

Huh. Maybe Kiss changed its mind or the blacklisting applied to keys that hadn't been sold.

There's a chance that it'll turn up in the Halloween sale...right?

PS3 version is seriously awful, so glad I was able to sell that shit for almost full price. You held out over half a year, you'll survive for one or two more months

I've added 252 games to my Steam account this year. I'm currently at 1161. I think I've ended up buying more games because I've been low on money all year, so I've paid more attention to bundles.

I was at something like 7 games before last winter sale. Currently at 337. I discovered the wonder of bundles this year. Oh and next May will be my 7th steamaversarry. That means I averaged just over a game a year until last December.

After seeing Painkiller on Giantbomb's Unprofessional Friday, I'll definitely pick it up next Steam sale.

December, come quick. :(

Assuming you're talking about black, I doubt you'll have to wait that long. It's on sale and in bundles all the time.

I'm having the same issue. Stupid Valve. :/

I can't tolerate it anymore, I've filed a support ticket with Valve. This urgent error MUST be fixed and it MUST be fixed now. If they don't fix it, I'll start a White House "We, the People" petition. I will not be silent.

Canadians can't start White House petitions.
 
Man, back in the day I used to buy every single indie bundle in case any of its games was part of a Steam Sale achievement hunt… Then obviously Valve stopped doing them :'(

That feel when your "trash" category is the biggest one...

The Boston Tea Party started over "No taxation without representation". I pay US taxes, I deserve to have a Greenlight banner. I don't remember what started World War 2 but it couldn't possibly have been more important than what's going on right now.
 
Yeah, spin had a spare key and following the game's removal from GMG and the like he e-mailed Kiss to ask if it'd still work.

This isn't entirely accurate. Someone who wanted to trade the game with me refused to do so after delaying a couple of days. The reason he gave was that he had emailed Kiss and they had supposedly told him that all keys had been invalidated. Dunno if he was full of shit or the wires got crossed somewhere. Keys apparently do work, as expected.

Ah, right. I was close! ;)

Maybe you should throw some Steam keys over the harbor to teach Valve a lesson.
Also, checking the greenlight page there seems to be 431 released games; which means tons of shit pushed to Steam by greenlight voters.
Now I don't want to give names but I think we know some people responsible with those votes.

Jesus I spent $734 on Steam already D: Probably a lot more if you count buying from Russian too.

I sometimes think I spend too much on Steam but then I realize Steam is basically all my gaming purchases (plus between 4 and 10 Nintendo games per year) so it's not too bad considering that.

These are all redeem links to Humble Bundle. I don't know exactly how those work, but there you go. I had a bunch left over, hope somebody can put them to use.

Yeah considering I haven't made a purchase for my PS4 since Infamous Second Son, and $200 of those was from a long long time ago when I used to play Warframe.

I don't mind the money I spend on Steam because I remember how much I spent on $50 and $60 game carts back in the day :/

Yeah, I looked back at my Amazon purchases in like 2009-2011 and I paid £30+ for so many shit Xbox360 games, I felt awful just looking through my history.
 
Jesus I spent $734 on Steam already D: Probably a lot more if you count buying from Russian too.

If steamdb's calculator is accurate and if I bought everything at the top discount calculations indicate that I spent around 500$ per year on Steam. Of course there is trades, GMG, GG, amazon and other sites and bundles which sucked money out of my wallet.
And I spent %.07 of my the time (since getting steam) playing games.
And probably around %1 of it calculating useless stuff like this and posting it here.
