Hotline Miami, for those who missed it. Also included some old bundle games, just to make sure multiple people get a shot. <3

Woo! Been wanting to play Hotline Miami for ages. Thanks!

 

[jtb]

How soon is TW2 likely to get cheaper than it is right now? I want it, but I still need to finish TW1 (and a bunch of other games) first.

It won't.

 

[Sianos]

Ooh, Fireblend took it. For some reason I recall liking their avatar, so bonus compliment!

I assume that once Witcher 3 comes out it will drop even more.

Thanks for Tiny and Big! Been wanting to play this but the short length put me off and I kind of forgot about it.

ModBot doesn't think too highly of my giveaway, it told me I should "giveth more." I tried to explain to it that these are good games :/

Thanks, rookiejet!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

You can wait until Amazon matches their price and apply the code GOONCAVE for 15% off (I think that's the code and discount, though I might be wrong)

Thanks! €8.13 is much better than €12.49.

 

[Kifimbo]

Hopefully this works!

Thanks fellow Canadian !

 

[Firehead]

Woo! Been wanting to play Hotline Miami for ages. Thanks!

Your name confused me for a second. Saw "Fire" at first was like "Wha? I didn't take that! I already own it!"
You and your crazy "Fire" name.

 

[Vecks]

How soon is TW2 likely to get cheaper than it is right now? I want it, but I still need to finish TW1 (and a bunch of other games) first.

It will probably be at $20 for a long while.

 

[RS4-]

Thanks fellow Canadian !

Cheers! Have fun (+ cards)

 

[Crayons]

Can I stay in the launcher for Dungeons of Dreadmor and still get cards?

 

[X05]

yay, new topic and already a gazillion pages long <3

Bought all the Tomb Raiders I didn't have, too hard to resist at those prices!

 

[IcyRhythms]

Binding of Isaac why u no 1080p

 

[leadbelly]

Those were usually pricing errors with the one exception that I remember being Saints Row the Third last year.

I've noticed a few games where that has happened. I bought Hotline Miami in a flash sale only for it to go cheaper in a daily sale a couple of days later. At least i think it was Hotline Miami. I've bought so many games in sales it is hard to keep track.

Thanks =)

Woo! Been wanting to play Hotline Miami for ages. Thanks!

Enjoy, and I love the Scribblenauts + TF2 avatar.

Thanks for Tiny and Big! Been wanting to play this but the short length put me off and I kind of forgot about it.

Hope you enjoy it, send me some impressions because I've yet to play my own copy. :U

 

[Casimir]

I just wish it were longer. My first playthrough took me around six hours, so I'd say 4-5 would be possible when familiarity enters the equation.

Ah, she's back to better self!

As long as steam says you are playing the game, sure. I got cards with Skyrim and Saint's Row 3 launchers.

 

[jtb]

You can wait until Amazon matches their price and apply the code GOONCAVE for 15% off (I think that's the code and discount, though I might be wrong)

what does this code work with? I'm thinking of buying the Firaxis pack (civ 4, 5, XCOM for $20), will it get a discount?

 

[t-ramp]

Here's Metro 2033. Enjoy...

Thank you very much.

Does anyone have a copy of Age of Empires II HD available?

 

[Firehead]

Binding of Isaac why u no 1080p

You can thank Flash.

 

[Stumpokapow]

just out of curiosity, is there a way to fix the subtitles getting chopped off? I assume it's because modbot reads the colon as the end of the title (as in the format examples), so maybe adding a disclaimer in the FAQ post saying "don't use punctuation" would be helpful?

So when it reads a line, it tokenizes the line (cuts it up into chunks). It uses the following rules:
- Check for a tab. If there's a tab, the last tab in the line is probably the key the rest is the title
- Found nothing? Check for " - ". If that's there, the thing before the - is the title, everything after is the key.
- Found nothing? Check for ": " in the line. If that's there, the rightmost chunk is the key
- Found nothing? Check for " | " etc
- Found nothing? Try taking everything after the last space and see if it works out to a key
- Found nothing? Assume the whole line is a key and try to parse one out.

The bug occurs when the title contains a higher priority rule and separator between the title and key is using a lower priority rule or not at all.

Good:
Hitman: Absolution: KEY-GOES-HERE
Hitman: Absolution - KEY-GOES-HERE
Hitman Absolution: KEY-GOES-HERE
Hitman Absolution - KEY-GOES-HERE
Hitman Absolution KEY-GOES-HERE
etc

Bad:
Hitman: Absolution | KEY-GOES-HERE
Hitman: Absolution KEY-GOES-HERE

All of the formats listed in the ModBot FAQ work fine. Punctuation is fine. It's just not fine if you mix things willy nilly. To some extent I need to rely on users making sensible decisions.

The way that game's made it's a wonder it runs at all. Flash gonna flash. Looking forward to the remake though, should be fantastic.

 

[RoadHazard]

It isn't.

It won't.

I assume that once Witcher 3 comes out it will drop even more.

Ok, thanks. How essential is it to have finished TW1 before you play 2? Will I not understand what the hell is going on if I don't?

 

[Tactics]

How soon is TW2 likely to get cheaper than it is right now? I want it, but I still need to finish TW1 (and a bunch of other games) first.

I guess it'll stay at the current price for quite some time, maybe even for the winter sale.

 

[davidsaurus]

So many "maybes" today... can't convince myself to pay £10 for RE6. Always wanted to try a might and magic as well :/ Decisions..decisions.

 

[Deadbeat]

I don't think it's fear stopping them.

Taking keys reminds you of Ephebophilia.

I only take stuff I want to play, Im not hoarding to sell.

 

[Acccent]

I'm of two minds about it. The reason why I had NOWINNERS and NOWINNERSWEEKLY was sort of more for ongoing threads. Obviously the summer sale, there's a lot more giveaways and a lot more claims and a lot more people being disqualified for having previous claims. So I don't mind introducing a new rule keeping that in mind, but I also feel like it's really only a rule that has any use during a sale event..

Maybe you should add an all-encompassing SALE rule that tweaks ModBot's behaviour for events like these, making it more strict on who can claim the games?

 

[Edwardo]

Binding of Isaac why u no 1080p

Just noticed this too. I literally just opened it for this first time since I bought it in the last sale haha.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Can I stay in the launcher for Dungeons of Dreadmor and still get cards?

I believe so

 

[JoduanER2]

yea i dont get why, it cant be that difficult to do it

That giveaway :O

 

[Cydonian__Knight]

Quick question, I want to buy the Witcher 2 but I'm in Europe on vacation. I have money in my Steam account, but all of the games show up in Euros when I view them in the app. First, will it let me make the purchase and if it does and I buy the game for €4.99, how many dollars is it going to take out of my account?

 

[Chance Hale]

Hope you enjoy it, send me some impressions because I've yet to play my own copy. :U

Will do!

And I can't believe no one here plays the Might and Magic series, I suppose I'll see if Dunder has a deal and if not I'll just buy the Complete 6 pack.

 

[JaseC]

I'm actually pretty fond of its length. It feels perfectly paced and never overstays its welcome, it's what made it so good to revisit time and time again.

I can agree with it being a great experience, but nonetheless it feels a little light, particularly for what was a full-price release back in its day.

Edit: Boo, it seems Valve has disabled user-uploaded avatars for the time being.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

If you have a friend to play through it entirely with, absolutely. Otherwise I'd avoid it.

I might go ahead and buy a copy for a friend as well, then. lol

ah, makes sense. I never put a colon between the game and the code, I will start doing that. thanks!

 

[Fireblend]

Ooh, Fireblend took it. For some reason I recall liking their avatar, so bonus compliment!

Hmm weird, the quote says I got it, but ModBot hasn't sent me the key yet.

And I adore my custom-made avatar as well :3

 

[CosmicQueso]

Ok, thanks. How essential is it to have finished TW1 before you play 2? Will I not understand what the hell is going on if I don't?

Not essential. There's a good video intro. You'll have no problem.

 

[Got the Shakes]

What do you guys think is the most wanted Steam game on GAF right now? I'd like to do a giveaway but not sure which game to do.

Rogue Legacy for me.

 

[EatChildren]

You posted this mod the very next day I was done with the game!

You haven't finished The Witcher 2 until you've seen the other side of Act 2. Here's an excuse to go back!

I don't know... This mod may obscure the "important" Triss scenes with camera blocking fauna.

I assure you Triss' wonderful physique remains untouched by my mod.

 

[kutthoat5150]

is borderlands 2 a better buy than tomb raider for around the same price? not sure which to get

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Ok, thanks. How essential is it to have finished TW1 before you play 2? Will I not understand what the hell is going on if I don't?

You don't need to play TW1 to understand theTW2. There are only very few refences to the first game.

Yeah, damn it...

Oh well. Will still play it. Hear great things
