All done, used all that I could find that would work, thank god CTRL+C/V works in game or I would have not even bothered. Now to actually get the motivation to finish the game and it's DLC's.

Is there any place to check if Steam keys are still valid?

I went through my Groupees account and had a bunch of games that were not claimed, perhaps that had been added to bundles after I added the first games to my Steam account. I didn't have most of them, so that was a pleasant surprise, but there were a few that I'm certain I've bought separately (like directly through Steam).

I would like to give them away here but I worry about registering them, someone winning them and then the key being invalid. If I try to add the game to my Steam account it just tells me "Already purchased," but doesn't tell me if the key is still good.

Hey, at least Korra fans got a tie-in game. And multiple seasons. All us Tron: Uprising fans got was cancellation, and the worst cliffhanger since the end of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (Yes, I'm bitter.)

Yeah it seem like unless you're a fan of Legend of Korra, you might not enjoy the game much. As a big fan of Korra, I'm having a blast so far. I'm glad the cutscenes look like actual tv show quality.

But if you aren't a fan. It's probably best to wait for a sale. Also at least Korra got a "decent" game out of this. (or "good" depends on who you ask) All us Young Justice fan ever got was a cancellation and a crappy ass game.

It's fun.

You words never fail to amaze me Casimir.

Also a proud unique owned or Paranautical Activity now, too bad I didn't keep the cards.

well i i certainly don't feel anything but sad when reading people thinking about killing themselves or feeling like their dreams are shattered, assholes or not

i feel sympathy for the phil fishes of the world, they're mostly victims of themselves and playing along with the internet. the internet's also full of jerks that risk very little for their "jerkhood", while these guys say something they regret and suddenly their careers are ruined. in some cases it's their lives and get death threats, etc.

so yeah for sure i feel for the guy, sucks it had to go this way
I'd say there's a difference between Phil Fish, who gets a lot of shit thrown his way and so replies in kind, and this guy, who shits on pretty much anyone whether they deserve it or not, and also lied about promised features and stuff. I sympathize with the former and I do like him, but the latter I can't stand. It's pretty clear the guy has issues, but I find him unlikable despite that. I'm not happy that it came to this, but I can't help thinking "He brought it upon himself", what with the way he behaved towards his game's community and any kind of criticism.

This wasn't an example of a dev telling a troll (aka asshole) to go have sexual intercourse with themselves, this was a (fake) threat directed towards the head of a company he was conducting business with. Whatever said company may have done, that behaviour was completely uncalled for and unacceptable, and he suffered the consequences. The things he said and did in the past only contributed to making sure it's very hard for me to find some sympathy for him now. In my mind, he's not a disturbed and outspoken yet harmless and misunderstood person; he's a disturbed ugly one who behaved pretty badly towards his (potential) customers.

RIP Young Justice, hands down my favorite super hero show ever, with spectacular spiderman holding 2nd. You were doomed from the start since you were on cartoon network, if only nick could air DC shows, I'm sure Nick would've done it some justice. :( Also RIP Green Lantern, at least the ending for that was less cliff hangery imo.

As mentioned earlier, I went through my Groupees profile and found a ton of extra games. These are all Desura keys. So don't try to redeem them on Steam because I'm pretty sure that won't work.

yeah not disagreeing with you

i dunno anything about promised features or all that stuff, but regarding this specific situation, i for sure can feel sorry for the dude

in any case his game had giant voxel spiders so it wasn't for me anyways :p

teen titans was soooo good. sucks that it ended on a cliff hanger. at least it got like what, 5 seasons + a movie? regardless, shouldn't have ended on a clfif hanger which is why I'm 110% percent against any show ending on cliff hangers, you simply don't know if you're going to get another season or not. Unless you know in advance, please don't do it. its frustrating for us fans. Shows need to take some notes on green lantern; it had a nice open ending, it could've continued but it could also have been a 1 time thing(which unfortunately it was) and left the true ending up to the viewer.

Wasn't Deadpool 50% off shortly after release and before the removal? I think it was.

it was 75% off. I remember cause my bro got it for $10 on amazon.

I will never understand Totalbiscuit's complete erection when it comes to Paranautical Activity...

Especially when he throws shade at Heavy Bullets and Tower of Guns.

If you like Marvel stuff, watch Earth's Mightiest Heroes. It ran around the same time as Young Justice and was just as good and was treated just as bad.

The Terra plot was resolved in the comics to the tv series. Still very unsatisfying, both in the fact that the tv series ended on such a melancholic note and in the solution itself.
Terras brother appeared and recognized that she is indeed Terra but choose to not go back into the super hero business and dodge any contact to heroes and villains to live a normal life. I wonder if the plot would've turned out happier for the couple if the series would've gotten the full last season it was promised.

I said the same thing in the thread about one of the PA creator losing his shit... the game is Doom without level design, and Serious Sam without good enemy encounters. I have no idea what there is to like about the game where so many others do similar things so much better. Even recent shit like Wrack.

to be fair to PA the game is better after the latest patch than before... but still bottom tier in the first person roguelite genre

Quite a few Desura games, once redeemed on their service, give you a Steam key as well. Don't know if that's the case with these games, though. I usually just give away my spare Des keys.

Played some of Korra, it's not a game I expected, but there are collectibles and running minigame, so not all is lost (><)
I only need fishing and cards to call it worthy purchase.
I haven't seen too much of combat yet to get any opinion.

I've had a couple of friends on me to sit down and watch Avatar and LoK for awhile now (LoK looks like more my thing, but I get the impression you can't really appreciate it without seeing Avatar first.
I've been told I'd like Asami (?), which is a good thing, I guess?
) So I figure I'll probably grab the game when it hits -75% on a Steam sale, and play it after I've seen some of the show so I can appreciate it a little better.

I think it was 80 or 75% off. I should have bought it back then :(
I managed to find a key on GameFly for $10 the day after it was removed from Steam. Guess I got lucky with that. And I still haven't played it, lol.

Totally off-topic, but my whole life I wondered how you dealt with the spiders scene in Harry Potter 2 (and by "my whole life" I mean the past 2 years or so).


On even further off-topic (and I'm gonna stop this now), I'm going to see Rick Wakeman again in an hour, for the third day straight, this time playing his album The Six Wives of Henry VIII. This guy is nothing short of awesome, seriously!

This guy behaved like a dick. He may have some freudian excuse, but that doesn't change that he behaved like a dick. And not for the first time, he has a history, like some people pointed out.
At least I have this in my memory. <3
Not a fan of Robin x Starfire, but Terra x Beastboy was great. And I adored Kid Flash and Jinx. Sadly Teen Titans Go! isn't the series for such things.

I heard the combat is simple at first but it gets much better once you start unlocking all the elements.
