Nvm, I saw other people finish first. Thanks for the opportunity though!

Spoiler

Martian took the longest....

 

[Cheddahz]

Guess what I just bought guys? (Yes, the Bastion demo sold me)

 

[LProtag]

It's all Steamworks, so you can just get them in a sale from another site.

Is any other site gonna put them up for more than 40% off anytime in the near future though?

 

[Ultimadrago]

Roh-roh..

Ok you guys have to decide, it's between you and Ultimadrago

Depends on what the prize is...

edit:

guess not, enjoy drago!

Oh okay, thanks!

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Guess what I just bought guys? (Yes, the Bastion demo sold me)

Nice. Spent too much on the sale, so I'm having a much harder time trying to buy Ys Origin.

 

[Sianos]

I bet its Radical Flying Mammals with Sonar.

 

[Gav47]

Which is better, Waves or Geometry Wars?

 

[whitehawk]

I think I bought it for $10 somewheres.

If you love RCT2, then you'll love 3.

This is not true. RCT2 is one of my favourite games, don't care for RCT3. The charm of the 2D visuals was probably my favourite part of the game.

 

[Salsa]

so what about dat SPAZ? can someone give me a rundown on what it is/why I should get it?

 

[Rand6]

I still have 1€ in my Steam wallet... is "Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack" worth it?

 

[SourCinnamon]

I remember there was a Gamersgate Shogun sale like 1 month ago or something like that.

 

[Fatal Futanari]

I dont even want to think about how much I spent during this sale ;_;

 

[~Kinggi~]

I dont even want to think about how much I spent during this sale ;_;

Yeah, was pretty bad for me. I actually reached the point where i completely cutoff buying even on good deals. I just have way too many games now, both on steam and on consoles. I have enough games to last me the next 4 years of solid playing. Im almost considering skipping next gen but i know that doesnt have a chance in hell at happening.

 

[gdt]

I'm super tapped at the moment, when exactly does the sale end? Tuesday at 1pm EST?

Edit: Bah, I thought it was till the 23rd . I was hoping to at least pick up Beat Hazard Ultra, I get paid on Tuesday.

 

[Pancakes]

so what about dat SPAZ? can someone give me a rundown on what it is/why I should get it?

Top down space shooter RPG where you control 1 ship out of a fleet of 5. Very heavy customization, randomly generated universe, zombies, evil government. I've personally put about 35ish hours into it but still haven't beaten it yet.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Tomorrow at 1pm EST probably, if not a little later.

The writing is very good. I laughed out loud more than a few times and I've only just started playing. Reminds of an old Supernes jrpg, fast paced, turn based, battles. Probably the best game I've gotten from this sale so far.

 

[Cth]

Interesting. There could be 8 letters instead of 16, depending on how we put the blocks.

The problem in your approach is the encoding, I assume it would be unique. But, in your case, there are several decimal numbers for which the sum of all digits add to the same number between 1 and 26. Maybe my assumption is wrong.

Wanna go even more crazy?

If he used a cypher key, we're out of luck

I tried to add the two pairs together to see if they formed anything

(1+2), (3+4), (5+6), etc.

Nada.

Now if he used "neogaf" as a cypher key then you could add that to all the lines, but there's nothing to suggest that.

 

[stevematic]

Just went and bought:

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY
Bioshock Collection
Trine 2
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Might be it for the last day unless something great comes up.

 

[Sianos]

Yes, two charming RPGs with solid mechanics well worth that low price.

 

[Wok]

To recall what was at stake in the previous thread: [...]

If anyone wants the code as a 16x8 matrix form:

[[0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1]; ...
 [0,1,0,1,1,0,0,0]; ...
 [0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1]; ...
 [0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0]; ...
 [1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1]; ...
 [1,0,1,0,1,1,1,0]; ...
 [0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0]; ...
 [0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1]; ...
 [0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1]; ...
 [1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0]; ...
 [0,0,0,1,1,1,0,1]; ...
 [1,1,0,0,0,1,0,1]; ...
 [1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1]; ...
 [0,0,0,0,1,0,1,1]; ...
 [1,1,1,1,1,0,1,0]; ...
 [0,1,0,1,0,1,1,1]]

 

[DeadFalling]

Give it to Drago, no hard feelings

 

[Grakl]

I still have 1€ in my Steam wallet... is "Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack" worth it?

Easily. Cthulhu is one of my favorite RPGs in recent memory.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Yes, two charming RPGs with solid mechanics well worth that low price.

It's real amazing how Cthulhu Saves The World isn't just a Gimmick Game, but is quality in its own right.

 

[Morris]

That code is too much :lol

 

[Lonewolf_92]

The difference though is plenty of people still bought Half-Life and WarCraft 3 for the core game even after the mods. Who buys Arma II for anything but DayZ anymore?

That was my thinking too, they were mods of popular games already, Day Z took an obscure game and made it a best seller.

 

[Dacvak]

That code is too much :lol

Where did the code come from?

 

[kafiend]

Blueprints for upgrades. Specialists to do stuff like shoot harder fly faster etc. Its fanfuckingtastic.

Reminds me of some of the finest Amiga games in its presentation and style and also a C64 one called Morpheus that I seem to remember took over my entire life for months. It makes me feel old but gloriously old Playing this game is like buying the finest pair of rose coloured glasses there are on the market.

 

[Crayons]

Good lord.

Who's up for another 400 pages?


Scores from the previous game:

Yay, I'm in the top 25.

Time to play The Ship!

 

[evilhomer]

Easily. Cthulhu is one of my favorite RPGs in recent memory.

Ah, I almost forgot to put this in my cart!

Looks like fun

 

[Enco]

Yay, I'm in the top 25.

Time to play The Ship!

How's the community? Lots of players?

Looks interesting!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Thanks for the Project Freedom, Johnny.

 

[LuffyZoro]

Where did the code come from?

It came from the mists of Steam and our pent-up madness.

 

[Jason Frost]

I didn't enjoy it. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it when it came out.

Ok, thanks for the information.

 

[Eternia]

Which is better, Waves or Geometry Wars?

Waves does have a lot of modes, feels like you would get more bang for your buck there. Only played the time limit mode in the demo and your "ship" does control differently compared to Geometry Wars.

I still have 1€ in my Steam wallet... is "Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack" worth it?

Each game is about 6-8 hours long and if you like anything about old 8-bit rpgs, they are a nice twist to the formula. I didn't like the writing too much but combat seemed fresh with enemies getting stronger each turn thus forcing you to manage your sp accordingly. I also miss overworlds, good times!

 

[Fatal Futanari]

same here lol

 

[kafiend]

I was trying to break that code but I guess I'm in a dead end

I put the 16 binary numbers in a table. Then, I converted the vertical binary numbers to decimal. For example:
1010100110111101 (last column) = 43452
Then, I added all the digits of that number to get a number between 1 and 26 (letters).
Finally I got LSSUXELR

I even used different colours for the 0's and 1's to see if there was a weird figure or something. Nop.

I didn't see the start of this puzzle but are you certain its a number puzzle and not a picture puzzle? Kinda looks like a pixel character that needs colouring in.....if I squint and take a massive leap into the maybes.

 

[Razek]

No no no no, stop it GAF!

Now I'm considering spaz.

 

[AppleMIX]

So Is Jagged Alliance back in action good? I heard it had quite a few issues as launch.

 

[Pancakes]

Where did the code come from?

It's an activation key for Half Life 3.

Yeah, I know. I tried to use my LSSUXELR with a Ceaser decipher (with the 26 possible shifts) and nothing.

 

[Jobacca]

Bastion and Stacking for the girlfriend? She said the space create universe thing looked cool. should I swap that in?

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

No no no no, stop it GAF!

Now I'm considering spaz.

It matches your avatar. You should buy it.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Give it to Drago, no hard feelings

Check PM

 

[HiiiLife]

Only spent about 60 dollars this sale but the actual price would be over 100 dollars. So I'm satisfied with the games I have. The next sale tho.. Splurge mode.

 

[LuffyZoro]

Bastion and Stacking for the girlfriend? She said the space create universe thing looked cool. should I swap that in?

It's alright, but not that great.

 

[Elonas]

Right. My list of damages:
Space Marine + The actual content DLC
Alan Wake(Not American nightmare, it seemed to be fairly meh-ly recieved)
Super Street FighterIV:AE
QUBE
Arkham City+Harley DLC
Warlock
Binding of Isaac DLC
Quantum Conundrum
Krater (Really looking forward to the multiplayer patch, it being the main reason I picked it up)
Witcher 1: Enhanced Edition
Stacking
Prince of Persia, forgotten sands
While not on steam, I also picked up Heroes VI on GAME, simply because the steam sale made me realise I wanted it, and it was cheaper not on steam. I'm looking forward to playing all my new games, definetly a solid sale for me.

[Da DreadLord]

Since I'm weak.. I'm gonna get the lost planet games anyway..

I noticed Lost Planet 2 is cheaper in America (14.99), so is there a good soul on here who wants to gift it to me? I can paypal

One and only bump. Anyone?

Else I'll start hitting up those guys in the OP

 

[zephervack]

Should i get both Hawx games or just number 2?
