Support NeoGAF

[Casimir]

I've brainstormed about doing the same, but I don't want to lock someone out for a half an hour for a game they didn't want.

Stumpokapow added a mandatory cool down period to ModBot?


Edit:

Just call it 'Secret game' in your pm to modbot

In the body or title?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I'll give you 10 random cards for Rogue Legacy

It's a fair trade, bro. Trust.

Not fair enough. I'll throw in a Saints Row IV preorder.

Ah okay. ha. It was just coming from a guy who was dead broke but staring at a $50 Nintendo game, then find out I spent $50 on a game I really really didn't like (SMS).

I can sympathize. I'm the guy who wasted $50 on Pokemon Battle Revolution. Twice.

 

[Rafy]

so are there new (hidden) flash deals?

 

[Professor]

Must resist the urge to buy all these cheap games. It adds up quickly and then its no longer so cheap.

 

[Sykotik]

Stumpokapow added a mandatory cool down period to ModBot?

Yeah. 30 minutes every win. Longer if you have a large amount of wins.

 

[ChaoticPotion]

Didn't realise Civ V vanilla was a flash deal, missed out, damn.

It will be back no doubt, if not in a flash deal, a daily one.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Which version of Jet Set Radio is superior, PSN or Steam, assuming controller input is an option?

 

[FINALBOSS]

the swapper is like 25 percent off but im wondering will it go any lower.

Same here :/

COD2 was godly back in the day. and to think the multiplayer was capped at 8 players (LOL) on 360 and launched with some of the worst netcode I've ever experienced in a game. but single player campaign was pretty great and relied much less heavily on the scripted bottlenecks of the MW games. and the core mechanics of the multiplayer were fun enough even without perks/level ups/killstreak/etc.

Steam. The latest patch pretty much removed all loading times (this includes char. select). Great resolution options, great controller support (they even updated the launcher to support it), and it even works pretty well with a mouse/kb.

There's also a fan made mod that gives you the ability to import transparent pngs and jpgs. Pretty good stuff.

k. Was just wondering if the touch controls were used on the Vita for graffiti, etc, but if the PC version beats it on load times that's a good deal.

$150 on my first Winter Sale and nearly cost me a divorce as well. Seriously.

Nothing was more than $15. It just all added up.



Also, the $15 game was Mount & Blade and if she wants to divorce me over that, it's fine, because that game is the fucking bomb.

The single player was a great campaign. I only wish the Russia part was slightly longer. I still yell out "EEZ AN MG FARTY TWO!!!" when someone jumps on a turret in some games.

I still liked the multiplayer. Yeah, nothing special, but I also didn't grow up on the many, many FPS games that some of you have. Goldeneye, Turok, and PD were it. So for me, it was just fun. I still love the maps as well.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Precisely.

 

[catabarez]

Dat Surgeon Simulator. I hadn't removed the guys heart and was murdering him with the buzzsaw so at the last second I just threw the new heart in with the old heart still there.

Beat it.

Ah, Salsa really should add Stumpokapow's change log to the ot.

I've brainstormed about doing the same, but I don't want to lock someone out for a half an hour for a game they didn't want.

A while back I did a 'random game reward' thing and I'm planning to do that again in a slightly different manner this year, and I've been trying to figure out if I can get Modbot to help me or if I'd need to do the work by hand. I think I came to the conclusion of doing it by hand.

The problem with Modbot giving random rewards is that there's no scope for verifying that the recipient doesn't already have the title in question. That's the big stumbling block with doing this. Last year I could work it out since there was only one recipient so I could sneak a bit of research into him to verify what's viable, but the downside of that was that, well, there was only one contestant so only one person got to directly 'enjoy' it - hence why I did all the fancy other stuff to try to make it enjoyable for others.

Wow, the prices on cards are going down big time. (Says the guy who's been trying to undercut everyone else on card prices.)

You almost got divorced because you spent $150 on videogames..?

 

[Card Boy]

To the Moon - $2.99

Wanderlust - Rebirth - $2.49

I'm thinking about it! (will wait till last day)

 

[Prophane33]

Me thinks that money may have been tight or there were some other underlying issues.

 

[Crayons]

You almost got divorced because you spent $150 on videogames..?

People have been divorced for much less.

 

[kennah]

Ben has a lot of problems. Go through his Threads Created for some good reads

 

[More_Badass]

Welcome to the club! Profile backgrounds are overrated (and free with Enhanced Steam - whichever one you want). Emoticons are cool but if there is one you really want you can just buy it on the marketplace rather than crafting the badge.

Free money is where it's at!

It sucks that I won't be able to sell cards until August 2. I could be making free money!!

Wait, can I get keys in TF2 by "idling" (learning the lingo lol) as well?

 

[bengraven]

When we're dead broke and she was very kind about telling me I could spend $40 but to not spend more because we couldn't afford it...yes. It was a violation of trust and showed my l.ack of willpower.

 

[super-famicom]

Is Walking Dead for mac still buggy? I read or heard about it a while ago.

The achievements didn't pop up for me so I had to replay episodes to get them to pop up. And my choices from episode 1 didn't carry over to 2. I don't know if these problems are common or not. Another gaffer seemed to be fine.

 

[Cimarron]

Is anyone else experiencing slow downloads? Dark Souls is talking forever!!!
Can't wait until AssCreed3 is under $20. Gaben hear my plea!

 

[RionaaM]

I think I want XCOM. Do I? And would I also want the DLC if I pick it up?

On one hand, a game I may (one day) play and enjoy, especially one that it's outside of my comfort zone. On the other, 10 bucks that could be spent on some other title... Decisions, decisions.

 

[Khronico]

I've spent pretty much all day on this computer farming cards, refreshing this thread, and staring at the sale timers. Help.

Didn't think that one through before typing, my bad. Made the mistake of just assuming it was a "You spent money on games..? I don't think so" type of situation.

 

[Deadbeat]

I think I want XCOM. Do I? And would I also want the DLC if I pick it up?

Yes. I got it for free on gaf (thanks again duderz) and it was pretty awesome. Its worth the money if you like strategy turn based games.

Play the demo first.

 

[Ermac]

Was Blood Dragon cheaper earlier or am I remember wrong?

The customization DLC is pretty nice. I liked to color code my troops, healers are red, etc.

You are looking for help in the wrong place, we can only further your "problem".

 

[usea]

Wanderlust - Rebirth - $2.49

What's this one like?

 

[yellow submarine]

I've spent pretty much all day on this computer farming cards, refreshing this thread, and staring at the sale timers. Help.

Where do you work where you get to do this!

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

To the Moon - $2.99

Such a great experience! I tried to get my mates to play it, but they just don't understand. Fuckin' savages.

 

[Salsa]

(will wait till last day)

 

[Fireblend]

I think I want XCOM. Do I? And would I also want the DLC if I pick it up?

On one hand, another game I may (or may not) play and enjoy, especially one that it's outside of my comfort zone. On the other, 10 bucks that could be spent on some other title... Decisions, decisions.

You want XCOM. Trust me. You want it so bad.

Also I think the consensus is The Slingshot Pack is the better DLC. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Soyongdori]

To the Moon - $2.99

Such a great experience! I tried to get my mates to play it, but they just don't understand. Fuckin' savages.

Even I wouldn't play it... rather spend that money on FTL or Lone Survivor.

 

[Prophane33]

Ditto. Ain't no shame in that game.

 

[Casimir]

A while back I did a 'random game reward'

This is hilarious. So sad that I missed it.

 

[Oreoleo]

Was Blood Dragon cheaper earlier or and I remember wrong?

You remember correctly. Was 55% off now it's only 40%.

 

[marrec]

Guys. I may be LTTP on this, but Euro Truck Sim 2 is amazing. I leveled up my trucker and now some idiot is trusting him with explosives. =)

 

[Cimarron]

When we're dead broke and she was very kind about telling me I could spend $40 but to not spend more because we couldn't afford it...yes. It was a violation of trust and showed my l.ack of willpower.

True. But why don't you have your own play money account?

 

[Ermac]

You remember correctly. Was 55% off now it's only 40%.

Dammit. Hope if goes back down, 9 bucks is too much

 

[More_Badass]

Where do you work where you get to do this!

I don't know about him, but I'm a college student on vacation so I go all the time in the world to do that. I think I've spend more time on NeoGaf than actually playing. But I'll get to my games once the sale is over

Can we submit stuff to this random game reward?

 

[Amagon]

Its prolly been asked a bazillion times but I just got home from work but how is Surgeon Simulator?
