That's the best response so far lol.
turfster I feel like gabe has apparently taken some direct approach this time around and maybe used a plunger to get money by crawling it up inside your butthole and taking it from there
you're a chill dude, what's going on? everyone's just havin fun
Yep I'm restricted until the 28 even though I have used a verified card afterward. It won't even let you verify the M&M one either.

Well, there are per-giveaway rules, but there's also the global throttle. The global throttle limits you to one game every 15 minutes unless you have been winning lots of games, then it will steadily increase the cooldown period. At the top of the cooldown period you'll need to wait several days. I don't make the current throttle settings or cutoffs public because I don't want to encourage people just entering for anything and everything. Just because you can win a half-dozen or more games a day doesn't mean you should.
If it was a URL rather than a key, nuking can be kind of picky. Just add an ampersand at the end of the url and you'll get around the filter. Maybe do a non-anonymous giveaway this time, though
alright will try this out later. Went the anonymous route because I'm lazy, but we see how that worked out!
Yes, it told me it would take a week to let me back into the market. In reality it took around 24 hours.
I'm in pain and on drugs that are obviously influencing my moods.
Pay attention, man =p

There are significant changes which include refined boss battles and the integration of the DLC into the campaign. There is also a commentary track which gives some cool insight about the production of the game.

Yeah do it whichever you want, but a bit of advice. Put the keys/links in quotes to stop lurkers without accounts who watch this thread like hawks taking the key over members.

That happens to everyone that adds money to their steam wallet using a new card during a sale (or really anytime, but ESPECIALLY during a sale). Your best bet was to pay for games with the card, not to add funds using the wallet feature.

listen to the mad man
That just means the people who will grab it will be non-posting lurkers as opposed to non-account-having lurkers
I can correct that.

Just got back and saw that I won the Blackwell Bundle - TY Threads! Been meaning to play this series - always looked interesting.

I imagine the old-school lurkers have given up by now. Or starved.
If it loses 49-51 I'll find you.

Lucky you. I'm still in time out after cancelling my DR3 pre-order and Valve refunding me.
VALVE is a bunch of holes.

We hype giveaways now? ;-)
I'm unable to use the market as well. :/
The M&M thing was the first CC I used my account, so I wonder if I'll be able to bypass this by using my actual CC?

Soon we'll get announcement trailers about the announcement of upcoming giveaways. Bookmark Me!
No, just not my happy fun self... unless when the delayed effect kicks in a few hours per day =p
Of course!
First thought, although I wasn't sure if it wouldn't sound too serious.

A couple of questions (really dumb ones).
So how come no one can just grab the keys listed in the modbot posts (I rarely redeem keys on Steam so I'm not too familiar with how it all works)? Do you enter the contest, and modbot sends you a link to redeem the key? I thought you could simply take a key and register it with steam?
Second dumb question. How do people get all of these keys? Is there an option in Steam to obtain a key rather than an inventory item?

Next step is announcing the announcement of giveaways. Including a teaser trailer.

Should of used Enhanced Steam.
My brother had a similar issue for trading too much, but it cleared up in a couple of hours. Hold out for a bit and see if it sticks.
please be excited!

So what's the verdict on Nether? For reference I like DayZ, despite it's jankiness. It looks like a DayZ-like game with a different setting (mutants rather than zombies, more modern America rather than Russia, etc.). Is it worth it? If so, which version? Do I really need more "Nether Gold" and the exclusive item or is that stupid Pay to Win shit?

Yes. That's exactly how it works.
As for your second question, you can buy a game as a gift, then give it away later (it stays in your cart as an inventory item).
As far as I know, it adds new ways to approach the boss fights, integrates the DLC seamlessly, includes developer commentary (which is really good I might add) and apparently overhauls the visuals with new techniques learned from their work on the DLC (although I don't think it's a particularly noticeable change). There may be some more but I'm not sure.
It was in a community sale earlier, so there's a chance it may still end up in a daily/flash.

Those "keys" are a randomly generated code that links with the real key.
Two ways either bundles or you buy the game as a gift and email it to yourself and copy the link that is contained in the email.
