I know it's a dumb question, but I've never tried this before - these are the keys to trade right?

yes, that's the one

 

[Fracas]

^ballin', thanks

Wolf Among Us here I come

 

[hohoXD123]

I know it's a dumb question, but I've never tried this before - these are the keys to trade right?

Yes, that's a TF2 key.

 

[RionaaM]

CRIMZON FUCKING CLOVER

Your colorful description made me want it. Reading about its punishing difficulty convinced me to skip it :/

I couldn't beat the final level in Jamestown. There's no way I could play this.

 

[Ibuki]

I know it's a dumb question, but I've never tried this before - these are the keys to trade right?

Yes, that is the most common currency used among steam traders. IF they ask for keys and don't specify a type that is what they are talking about. Some will ask for Dota 2 treasure keys but most will ask for the Mann Co supply keys you just linked!

 

[Vazra]

You could try steam trades dot com if you want. It has a reputation system, and there is hundreds of people offering good key prices on dailies and other games too.

Thank you very much.

 

[scurker]

Someone sent me multiple trade offers for a card, and when I accepted it didn't remove the others. Now I have a message notification that won't go away and I can't cancel it. Thanks Gaben!

Forgot most important thing! gog gives a free game, every 2 hours, and free Banished was mentioned as possibility, not sure it's gonna happen.

out of curiosity, can you play eXceed games? for longer periods of time?

 

[Mono]

That would be insane, omg. I seriously doubt it.

 

[Rickenslacker]

So what's the consensus on Shadow Warrior at $7.99? It looks sort of fun to be honest.

It is pretty fun, it's got a lot of personality and a demo for you to try if you're not entirely sure. I'd say it's well worth the 8.

 

[MUnited83]

Ain't happening.

Anyone who has bought the Blackwell Bundle: does it give you an extra key if you already own one of the games?

 

[RionaaM]

This was already like the third time I saw Fahrenheit on sale, and don't really check the site more then 3-4 times a day. I like the way they're doing it, lots of high discounts for lots and lots of games.

Mmm, so it will come back? I hope it happens again during a time when I have access to a reliable internet connection. After finishing Heavy Rain a few days ago, I need more David Cage goodness in my veins.

 

[Toki767]

That isn't how bundles work I believe. Or maybe I'm thinking of how Humble Bundle key redemption works.

 

[Ogedai_Khan]

holy crap GOG! just giving out games!

 

[Ibuki]

Ain't happening.

I payed full price on Steam, and the game is really awesome. I would be happy if it was free just so more people could enjoy it.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Voted for Broken Age.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

My entry for that chaos contest.

 

[Caerith]

I second the bolded. With every Blackwell game, I go back and replay the game with developer commentary on. The first game has 2 commentaries even, one from around the game's development and another that was added few years later and works as a retrospective

Yeah, I really liked the double commentary in the first game. Dave Gilbert seems like a really cool guy, and it's neat hearing him talk about something, then hear him comment on his last comment.

Portal Bundle gave me a Portal 1 gift because I already had it in library, so it's not like this never happens...

 

[Applesauce]

Easily worth it at that price.

 

[Anteater]

come ooooooooon put up a shmup community's choice

THIS

 

[ramoisdead]

I'd love a shmup community choice and one for pinball too. I'm just afraid it'll get beat out by the next option...some crappy FPS genre.

 

[steadfast]

It's up to the publisher. Valve will give you the gift copies for any of their bundles, but I can't think of another publisher that does it.

 

[Ibuki]

Oh my god, System Shock 2 is $1.99 on GOG but not steam. I been waiting patiently, why you gotta do me like that.

 

[Anteater]

while we are at it VNs too!

they're just going to pit VNs against Shmups aren't they, those cruel bastards

 

[BPoole]

So what's the consensus on Shadow Warrior at $7.99? It looks sort of fun to be honest.

You should already own Shadow Warrior, so yes, $8 is definitely worth it. It was one of my favorite games last year

 

[Jeremy]

I bought System Shock 2 from GOG at $1.99 which is $2 less if anyone is interested. Never played it but people highly recommend it.

Also thanks for the Shadow Warrior recommendations. I'm buying it.

 

[Catshade]

So what's the verdict on Space Hulk? Warhammer 40k + TBS sounds so delicious, but the metascore isn't too good...

 

[Arthea]

they're just going to pit VNs against Shmups aren't they, those cruel bastards

That's some scary thought!

 

[Ibuki]

they're just going to pit VNs against Shmups aren't they, those cruel bastards

If they do, I will have to vote Shmups since I think I have all the steam VN that I want anyways.

IKARUGA I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A DAILY/FLASH, DON'T LET ME DOWN.

 

[Kadin]

Here are a few games I have for anyone not luck enough to already own them. Hopefully everything works fine but this was from an older spreadsheet so if something is goofy, plz let me know. Enjoy!

Oh and FEZ is via Humble, BL2 is a direct Steam Key, just fyi.

Got a reply basically saying Community Market would stay in lockdown. Well, that's irritating.

 

[redlacs]

ask someone on your buddylist to send you offer that you will decline. that should sort it out

 

[RionaaM]

out of curiosity, can you play eXceed games? for longer periods of time?

I tried all three on the easiest difficulty and managed to beat a few levels, but that's it. I'm sure I'd be destroyed on Normal.

 

[BkMogul]

Screw it. Picking up the Syberia Bundle even though I know I won't play it anytime soon.

 

[Maklershed]

So I'm giving away one of the games in the banner above, which one though is a mystery.

Instructions/Rules/Stuff for participants:

-If you would like to take part in this give away you must draw a picture depicting the chaos of the Steam Summer Sale.

- You can rush it or take your time, the deadline is 10:41 PST; giving you about nine hours or so. (Also if someone could come up with some sort of countdown clock that I could embed that would be awesome!)

- When you post your artwork in the thread, please PM a link to your post so I keep track of everyone's submissions.

- I will not be judging, I'm leaving that job up to my sister. Here is her steam profile if you want to bribe her: http://steamcommunity.com/id/lordpooky

- Sometime after 9:41, I will post here letting people know who one and then I will gift that person the game over Steam.



Hopefully it will be fun and plenty straight forward. And if I have money after buying my new monitor and speakers then I will do some more of these before the sale ends, because having one game to give away originally wasn't my intention. EDIT: Also I will be reposting this throughout the day.

Did Salsa's megatroll end?

What was it?

 

[Knurek]

RionaaM, there is a full Novice mode in the game, which is really easy - I managed to almost 1cc the first time I tried.
Not as explosive as the Arcade mode, but very doable and still loads of fun.

Get the game. Best damn thing to be released on Steam this year.

 

[Arthea]

I tried all three on the easiest difficulty and managed to beat a few levels, but that's it. I'm sure I'd be destroyed on Normal.

that's a relief, I thought I'm alone that bad at them (><)
I get incredibly tired so fast, it's sorta funny on it's own.

 

[Nordicus]

Yeah, I really liked the double commentary in the first game. Dave Gilbert seems like a really cool guy, and it's neat hearing him talk about something, then hear him comment on his last comment.

It was quite a shock when I bought that Wadjet Eye bundle off GOG like a year ago, played the first 2 Blackwell games, enjoyed their commentaries and then with Gemini Rue's commentary experienced a massive dip in entertainment value as it was made by someone other than Dave Gilbert and in different style. He likes to speak of his experiences rather than give "Game Development 101" and doesn't seem to have strict script or anything so he is very easy to listen to.

That god damn dog leash.

 

[Mokoi]

they're just going to pit VNs against Shmups aren't they, those cruel bastards

That would be a hard choice, but I think I would vote for shmups.
