Not open for further replies.
If anyone are looking for games that probably won't go any cheaper, here's one game for those wanting an arcade top down racer. The tracks are based on maps on real cities.

Real World Racing.

I just got an extraordinary mythical gift in DotA 2 for crafting a summer badge.

Should I sell it? Not sure if this stuff goes up in value after the sales over or what.

Unfair. All I got was some shit for Spiral Knights. They should at least let you pick the game you want the reward for.

Is Dust: An Elysian Tail any good? I'm looking for some good indie games to catch on sale ( Bit fatigued with the AAA stuff honestly. I think 5 is enough for the sale) and the animation instantly caught my attention. I checked the indie recommendation thread as well, but didn't see much word on it.

I beat it a few days ago and i think it was fantastic.

Yes, it is really good. Great visuals and cool Easter eggs.

Darn it I wish Evochron was going for cheaper then 40% off. It hasn't gone for less then that since bloody January 2013 :(

Hopefully it get's featured as a flash sale or something at least. Still mad that it lost the community vote last sale

The worst part is if you get something for a game you don't even play, you can try to dump the item onto Trashbot or something but that game's tab will never leave your inventory.

Never ever.

Dear GAF, I don't have money left in m budget since moving cost me much more than anticipated and I'm wondering if a kind soul would trade me Borderlands 2 for my X-COM and Poker Night at the Inventory Steam gift. I have Borderlands 2 in my library, but would like to gift it to my younger cousin who is kinda depressed lately and really like when we played Borderlands 1 in COOP! :) PM me if you can or add me on Steam (AIRic82).

M&Ms text message promotion/contest. Text MOVIE to 78787 from a US cell phone for a chance to win a $6 prepaid mastercard. If you win, you get a choice between $6 on-demand credit and $6 online streaming credit - pick the streaming option for the prepaid card, the other one gives you a credit on your cable bill. You can enter once per day until sometime in august, the 15th I think.

So Valve really did rig the whole summer adventure right? I dont believe theres some kind of reddit/hat baron effort to make every team win on different days

Do you need to get a reply to know it had work sending the message to modbot, or is only when you win? Ive send some of this and never got a reply.

Is Valve actually OK with something like this i.e. are there no other risks involved except for the region lock on games?

These prices make my backlog shiver in fear.

I sure hope so. I'm now getting the "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." error when trying to buy games for some reason. The usual way which is deleting everything in the Steam folder (with the exception of steamapps and Steam.exe) didn't help. Any other ideas? I sure hope it's some weird bug (possibly connected to paypal, according to these forum threads I found) and not restrictions imposed on me by Valve (unheard of, as far as I know).

USA players must be from Gaf, trying to keep me doing giveaways :p

I thought it was great, though certain characters' design might be offputting if you dislike anthromorphized animals. The mechanics are fun, the backgrounds are pretty and the music's great, so I really recommend it.

Arkham Origins runs AND looks better than Arkham City for me.


I don't know what gives, but locked 60 with everything maxed feels goooood.

Are city and origins close enough that I could just play one of them? Now have both on my backlog but doubt I'd have time to play both before arkham knight next year.

It seems like it, it would be highly coincidental that pink, who hasn't won yet, is way out front in the lead, if it's blue the next day, then yeah, nearly all but certain it's rigged.

Also (it may have already been mentioned in the other thread or even this one, can't be bothered to read through it all) but has anyone noticed that sometimes the points count backwards? As far as I'm aware, there is no legitimate way of losing points is there?
