Sorry if I overreacted, man. I apologize. I just hate spoilers.
Oh god no, that's horrible. I'm sorry but if it's been like 3 years that shit is out the window. It's not my responsibly to walk on eggshells around you because you can't be bothered to get around to playing or watching something.
It's a little more like saying that it's about soldiers in Dubai (big ol spoiler for Spec Ops)
who deal with the horrors of war like a white phosphorous attack up close

Ehh I just bought the game and ain't mad at the spoiler. This isn't the Red Wedding being spoiled or anything!
And as for the thumb down/up... the only thumb I care about is the metaphorical one in my head, and for £2/$4, we have no excuse not to try things for ourselves.

I really recommend Nether for the price. It has the makings of a great game but by the time you figure out how shallow it is you will have definitely gotten your moneys worth at sale price.

How would I do that? It's an HTTPS link, and the Address bar on the Steam client doesn't allow the URL to be modified.
Edit: Received contact from gift giver. They offered a direct copy, but I realized the game wasn't what I thought it was, so I appreciatively turned it down.

I know it's controversial, but regardless of how old a game is... a spoiler tag wouldn't hurt. It takes all of five seconds to incorporate one.
There are always a younger generation of gamers out there who are interested in playing more dated titles, too. I came late into the gaming scene and went back as far as the SNES to experience that era of creativity--I walked into Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Tales of Phantasia, etc. pretty much all unspoiled and those are things I would never take away.

PM me your email address or your Steam account and I'll gift you directly. I might have messed something up when PMing Modbot.

Well I'm pretty sure I just got 1 xp after buying Gone Home. And doesn't crafting game badges give you 100? I was just trying to level up to 8 so that I could get cards for voting.
Run a game, go to the steam web browser in the overlay, paste
I did the same thing, but when I checked Steam, I had a notification for it, so I opened it and was able to redeem it.
>clicking spoiler button
>"walking on eggshells"
also not everyone just has unlimited amounts of money or free time for gaming.

100 is for foil.

Spoiler tagging takes you 10-20 seconds at most. I think that's the most respectful thing you could do.

You didn't do the right thing.

Is Grim Dawn ever going to be a daily or flash dammit??!?
What about the influx of old games being re-released on Steam? Or stuff people just havn't been able to get around to due to having low-end hardware, or just a lack of awareness of something? I'm not saying that you shouldn't discuss it, I'm saying that it's nice to be nice to your fellow gaffers and spoiler tags really aren't that difficult to use.

Unmarked spoilers is one of the internet deadly sins, and at the very least is a very arseful thing to do. On GAF it takes like, what, 5 seconds to spoiler tag something? I've played Gone Home and Spec-Ops, but neither of them are that ancient, and both games are best going into knowing little as possible and both are on sale right now. Why would you want to ruin the experience for others?

Good thing I avoided that spoiler, I won GH from BinaryPork2737! Thanks! Had really good luck with giveaways last few days. Going to give back some more keys tonight and whenever Humble sorts out an issue with stuff I have there. This thread rocks.
You are still a good person.

You did, solid third person shooter with a fantastic story. It's basically "Heart Of Darkness: The Game".

Then might as well spoiler everything because some people are poor, or never watch movies. Spoilers are not the end of the world, and after a few years, it's not my job to shield you from them.

That's what they want you to think.
She's actually busy defeating a demon in Super House Of Dead Ninjas.
There should be some courtesy though that when you walk into a room and someone says outloud "hey, I've never see this movie before, is it any good" not to respond with "yeah, it was great when at the end we figured out the Butler was the murderer" if you don't know whether or not they wish to be spoiled.
We don't have to go around using spoiler tags for everything of course and well known stuff shouldn't be walked on egg shells around, but it's easy spot a situation like this where people not have played a game and might get it for the very first time, especially when it's very story driven.

Gameplay isn't the best, but the story is good.

The Marvel one tends to be more Cinematic Universe focused. (If the character's been in a movie, it'll be that one. So don't expect Hawkeye to have the big pointy mask.) It also has more of a focus on changing between characters with unique powers. It also has the better open world.
Lego Batman 2 has different suits for Batman and Robin, and then other DC heroes. It's more of an original story that feels more like the Justice League cartoon than any Batman movies. And in my opinion, better gameplay in the levels.
So that's the choice.
Kentucky Route Zero is soooooo fucking good. It'll probably be another year and a half until it's finished, though.

I laughed
But, actually, I remember being mildly surprised/taken aback that that was the case when I first played Super Mario.Right back at ya.

BIG ADVICE FOR THOSE GETTING SPEC-OPS:
Do NOT play on hard difficulty!
I usually play games on hard difficulty, but this is one of the very rare examples I would say playing on hard difficulty actively works against your enjoyment of the game. It can be argued that it creates the most realistic experience for the game, but honestly it is very fatiguing.

Correct. Vastly overrated game.

How well will Spec-Ops: The Line run on an early 2011 13" i7 Macbook Pro (intel HD 3000 graphics card)? Worth it at $6?
Spec Ops: The Line was one of the best surprises I have ever had when it comes to going in blind to games. Too many spoilers flying around so I won't even name tracks but even the random awesome soundtrack that kicks in at the right moments was something I loved. I played the whole thing in one 6 or 7 hour sitting during a snow day.
