It's gonna be MAY post was so awesome and I can't really explain why if asked about it.

You'll all be sorry when Bad Rats gets cards.

Oh man, that would be glorious, everyone would be so conflicted.

 

[Chance Hale]

Are people just taking a screenshot and cropping their playtime or is there a faster way to do that?

Snipping Tool. If you're on Windows Vista or 7, it's built in.

 

[Sianos]

People should avatar quote anyone with a Slowpoke in their avatar.

Spoiler

To make them feel better for having a Slowpoke as an avatar.

I-It's a life choice, maaaaaan.

Bad Rats cards would be the most valuable because no one wants to play it.

 

[RionaaM]

Yeah, really wish some more love have been put into it. Fear 1 is still so good despite the repetitive environments, the franchise really should have hit it off.

Run Like Hell mode is seriously a great time though, worth playing a few rounds.

Never played F.E.A.R. 3 online. I should try that someday, when I'm feeling masochist enough

The original game's multiplayer was fantastic. Many hours were spent on the free F.E.A.R. Combat, even before I got the full game.

I always forget that is a thing. Thanks.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

in the beta launcher.

Thanks.

 

[ShinobiFist]

campaign co-op was fun. I've definitely done worse for $5..

I bought DARK on launch, lol. No one wanted to play it on GAF, so I took the hit. Enjoying more than Bioshock...

 

[I H8 Memes]

Windows snipping tool. Not sure if its available with pre-windows 7 versions though

 

[Polioliolio]

How about this for modbot activity?

Modbot leaves the contest open for 30 seconds - 1 min, repeatedly (for the case that the give-a-way goes unnoticed), until one or more PMs are sent for a giveaway.

At this point, Modbot randomly selects one person, among those who had sent a PM.

I think this might be more fun for people who don't have instant refresh internet ability and might not be able to be the first person to enter a code, though the time window would limit the amount of entries to something to keep the odds of winning good.

Another rule could be made to limit the pool of PMs for random selection under a certain amount, like 3, or 5.


I'm going to be leaving for the weekend and won't have access beyond cellphone, so I'm not suggesting this for myself, but for those poor souls who may be struggling to win.

What do you think?

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Hah, as if you have to play games to get cards.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Fuck yeah.

Too bad the Foil market has collapsed though!

That may push me to buy the game.

 

[Chance Hale]

Windows snipping tool. Not sure if its available with pre-windows 7 versions though

Running 8.1 and I definitely have it. Just always forget about it.

Edit: Dark better than Bioshock? I've heard it all.

 

[antitrop]

Snipping Tool. It's in Applications in the Start Menu. Save as PNG, it compresses JPGs too much

 

[Original Famous Ray]

I still have all the old Tomb Raider games on disc but figured I'll just add the steam versions since they are dirt cheap. Is there any way to patch in the great music from the saturn/psx versions to the original PC Tomb Raider? A shame it only has the great main theme (unless the steam version was updated in any way).

 

[Gameboy415]

Game Maker: Studio Professional should be on sale too (I think I got it all for $299 from the $499 it is now). I remember when I got the master collection and saw each dlc/app was discounted.

I will snap it up in a heartbeat if it drops that low (or hopefully lower) in this sale!

 

[ShinobiFist]

Hah, as if you have to play games to get cards.

LOL, word.

 

[louiedog]

Lets give this a try.

Wooooooo! Thanks so much. I have fond memories of playing the very first game on PC and have been really interested in trying out Anniversary.

 

[Chance Hale]

Snipping Tool. It's in Applications in the Start Menu. Save as PNG, it compresses JPGs too much

Don't worry, I know about jpg compression. I use abload for my screenshots unless I'm feeling lazy so that should at least say I know not to do that

 

[Toki767]

I'll definitely try to work on some sort of contest for people who have yet to win from Modbot. Some people can't just sit here and F5 all day.

That would be cool as an option for people.

Or we could just use SteamGifts.

 

[ExMachina]

Thanks ExMachina! Can't get Tomb Raider Anniversary for cheap here in the UK so it's very much appreciated!

No prob, hope you enjoy it as much as I did! TRA was my favorite pickup a couple of Steam sales ago... just trying to spread the goodness.

Snipping Tool specifically compresses more than is usual or reasonable.

 

[Prophane33]

Confirmed for Old-GAF.

Get off my lawn!

 

[Chance Hale]

Ah ok, took it as a more general statement. In that case thanks for the advice. Is it possible to set a standard windows screenshot to save a png by the way?

 

[Crayons]

I've been idling in 3 games for over an hour and I got 3 cards pretty fast but since then I've got none. What gives?

[Berek]

Ok, someone talk to me about Borderlands 2. Is it worth playing solo? I've always stayed away from those games because of their co-op nature.

Restart steam. It normally gets things going again.

Meanwhile this thread...I can't keep up.

same

run one game at a time, i had the same problem yesterday and that solved it

 

[PepperJack]

I prefer to play these games solo. Very do-able.

 

[masterkajo]

So I was away for 20 minutes and two Fez giveaways? Really? Are you trolling me?

 

[xDEKOIx]

I've been idling in 3 games for over an hour and I got 3 cards pretty fast but since then I've got none. What gives?

I restart the games after I get a card drop.

 

[Chance Hale]

Huzzah.

As for multiple game card drops; I've founds that after getting the drops(they all come at once) I have to shut everything and start them back up or nothing will drop.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Ok, someone talk to me about Borderlands 2. Is it worth playing solo? I've always stayed away from those games because of their co-op nature.

I think it's definitely more fun co-op, and I could see it getting boring playing it solo, but I've done it before with little issue.

 

[kennah]

Ok, someone talk to me about Borderlands 2. Is it worth playing solo? I've always stayed away from those games because of their co-op nature.

It's fine solo. Gets a little easy to burn yourself out but it's fine. I played bl1 and 2 mostly by myself.

 

[Sini]

Could someone repost that taskbar screenshot where someone had like 20 games idling at once?

 

[Messi]

Signed up for steam and a nice gaffer sent me my first game. He sent me 'To the mood'

 

[Creamium]

Send me a PM with your steam id. I will help you out.

Thank you so much for this, you're awesome!

 

[Eklesp]

I've been idling in 3 games for over an hour and I got 3 cards pretty fast but since then I've got none. What gives?

I noticed this too. 3 cards come fast. Not getting anymore from idle.

 

[derExperte]

We also make fun of you everytime you're gone.

moon maybe? or is that a euphemism?

 

[Magicman103]

The generosity in this thread really is amazing. It is true that steam sales really do bring out the best in people. Specifically I'd like to thank Deadbeat for giving me my death (in the form of FTL)!

an imitation of To The Moon?

Is that the game that To the Moon ripped off?
