If anyone is considering AoE2HD, the breakdown is as follows:
4 Pack: $7.50
Amazon with code 'GOONCAVE': $8.50

I would highly recommend NOT buying a single copy on steam as it's more expensive.

Time to rebalance my karma!
Well, overbalance a bit, I guess.

Should i get my hopes up that the unreal pack will be discounted more? Because the gf is a huge ut & unreal fangirl ( we have them all boxed, but steam is easy :p ) or if anyone has it & wants to trade it for something just pm me.

Hmm I don't know if I'll be able to get this badge without spending a shitload of money.. Already bought RE6, Surgeon Sim and Ys I & II.

Rogue Legacy is so damn good. It is not heavily discounted so many won't buy it, but it isn't super expensive either. I think that is the best game to giveaway right now if you are feeling particularly generous.

For me as well. Hopping it gets a daily here fairly soon. If not, eh 20% off won't be too bad for a last day pickup. Game looks great as well. Can't really think of any other games I really want to grab on sale right now.

Don't hop too much. You might miss it.

I got screwed over by someone who said they were in on a 4 pack for RPG Maker and then backed out after I bought it. Would someone like to purchase the last copy for 17.85USD via paypal?

Where is my RE: Revelations sale?

This is like the main thing I want and there is no word of it.

It would also be cool if the Trackmania games went on sale too!

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.

Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking about using the "|" character whenever I make a giveaway through ModBot, now I know better.

That's it, only ":" on the game titles and "-" as title/key separator.

lol Capcom. Release a substandard resident evil game and suffer from low sales during the initial launch. Then after the game has dropped off, only marginally discount it.

Still can't understand that all of the sales I've seen for this whether it be Amazon or GMG have it priced much higher than all the RE6 deals. makes no sense

I logged 29 hours and 100%'d it is fantastic. Worth the $14.99 needs cards though.

But you can cash out indirectly by having someone paypal you then you use your wallet funds to gift them.

How is that trackable or definable by Valve to the IRS though? I think that they put the requirement in just to save themselves the trouble of dealing with real issues like that. It is an easy catch-all solution for them that ends up screwing over their customers, in that the end user has to provide their SSN to Valve and assume that they will keep it safe. Why would I trust anyone to store that safely, much less a game company? I just don't like that idea of ultimate trust being assumed and demanded in an age where no system should be trusted. Valve isn't even sending the information into the IRS until you hit the legal requirement of exceeding $20,000 in gross sales AND 200 separate sales transactions in a calendar year. I would rather they not require anything until the $20,000 mark is within reach. At the least, have it optional to have them store your SSN info on their servers as they have it optional to store your address info during purchases. Just my two cents anyway.

Should I, though? Is it worth it? I've played maybe 20% of TW1 or so. I enjoyed what I played, but I kind of feel like I won't have time to finish both that and TW2 before 3 comes out.
Click to expand...

I feel like TW1 gives you a good understanding of the characters and world, but it's so much less interesting than TW2. You might enjoy TW2 more if you finish 1, though. If you can power through, critical path it quickly, go for it. It's a good game, but far more flawed than 2.

Not sure this was posted before, but Tomb Raider on Amazon is cheaper (by $1.87) than the steam sale if you use the promo code "gooncave".
Got it for $10.62.

Really? It launched at a higher price(50 as compared to RE6's 40) and came out only a few months ago.

RE6 sold very well, Capcom just had absurd expectations for everything much like Square Enix.
