Crossing finger for that Scribblenauts!
thans for the giveaway! Hopefully luck is with me.
Thanks. Reducing some of the shadow settings and bumping everything else back to Ultra seems to have helped a bit.
I still have to get over my Zkylon-esque dislike of this level...

Yeah, huh? I'm interested in knowing how TF2 is P2W at all.
I did some speculating, just for the kicks.
so let's say there are 100 people that do 1000 points for winning team each day and switch teams each day, that would be 100k points. Assuming that other people do 10 points a day (that being really generous, I know) Pink team has to have 70k members, while all others - 30K each. I would like to see someone to explain that.

Okay so for the M&M cards...
I have 30 dollars in winnings from it and I'm afraid to spend it on Steam because of the aforementioned locking of the Marketplace.
However, I have Paypal as a payment option.
So technically I could add the cards to my Paypal account and then just pay through that right?
I'm so scared to use this money because I want to buy virtual cards.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
So that whole reddit thing is so far on point? Wtf, I wake up to Pink like crazy ahead... and everyone else all close.

How is that? TF2 is more pay2fabulous, as in almost everything they sell you is completely cosmetic. You can win without spending a dime.

Can't you buy weapons in TF2? I don't play it so I really don't know.

I've just been using it directly on steam for purchases that are 5.99 or lower. If you have steam wallet credit, you can use that first and then use the virtual card for the difference. Sure, you end up not using the entirety of the credit but fuck it, free is free.
using that method, i've bought Skyrim and Metro LL without paying a penny myself : )

Not even reddit believes, that they can influence millions of players that much. I don't know wether Valve just saw that and thought they just go with that or if the heads of this event are in bed with Valve or are unconsciously influenced and really think they have everything in their hands. But anyway, I think Valve is rigging and try to hide this with this reddit thing.
You mean this post?

That's what I was referring to and said "or linked to.
With the same assets, models, being linked to a shady attorney who must know what he's trying to do owning trademarks, I just wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot poll even with it technically being a different developer.

They're also dropped for free like candy, they're the most plentiful thing in the game.
Well some Medics certainly like healing the people under the shiny hats that's for sure. v_vThe more expensive hat you wear the better your aim and teamwork

So I guess no one wants my free beta invites to dead island epidemic
Yeah but you can get everything via finding items or crafting them with other items that you find and/or unlock. TF2 is kinda unbalanced or can feel that way at times but it isn't pay to win. Not in the slightest.

My girlfriend gave me one and then when I bought Riptide so we could play together it gave me what, like 5 more? I cannot get rid of them. Everyone I ask either laughs at me, laughs at MOBAs, or rants about how shitty dead island is.
We're stuck with 'em forever.

I don't think anyone wanted a Dead Island MOBA in the first place
TF2 is definitely not pay to win, but if a new player were to start playing now, they would be at a disadvantage due to not having any of the weapons unlocked. All of the weapons are "sidegrades" but some are definitely superior for specific situations. A new player is simply going to have less options available to them in terms of playstyles.
I could see someone feeling pressured to buy items rather than grind in achievement servers or idle for drops.

Hours? I've seen both games in giveaways a few times but whenever i try to claim one they get snatched instantly lol. They're the fastest to go. The only two game's i've ever been able to grab in giveaways were Bioshock (i somehow beat 30 people in a raffle thanks to Chariot) and FTL (wasn't a raffle but everyone seems to have this game already so no one jumped for it i guess).
yeah but they are very balanced
(except the soldier parachute, that's op as heck)

Damn straight. I will keep them in my inventory just in case someone wants one.
Definitely. Art style is amazing, the narration is done well and the gameplay is very fun. The story is decent, nothing great though and the ending felt kinda weak. While the campaign is fairly short, it does have a NG+ mode and there are some challenges you can take to further increase game length. Even at full price I was happy with my purchase, so if it gets a 25% discount I'd highly recommend it.
Edit: Oh and the soundtrack, holy shit that soundtrack.

Team Putin welcomes you

Omg of course I do!!
Score one for me too!
TF2 is one of the few f2p games that really isn't pay2win at all. I never knew anyone thought it was LOL
You know, you could actually buy those two games if you are so keen on them.
I mean, both are discounted, and might as well be featured down the line...

Thanks hoho and marrec.
I think Transistor is a must buy based on what you guys said and other impressions I've read around here. I'm not sure I'll bit at $15 but I just might. I've added it to my wishlist so if I don't get it now I'll definitely get it at some point.
Despite most people saying Transistor > Bastion I think I'll get that as well if it drops really low in price. I love the art style and I can usually force my way through meh combat if the story is good.

Fact is, for the most uber crafted weapons and items, you gotta pay in some form or another, or trade, which is another form of bartering. So yeah, in a very real sense TF2 is pay2win, unless you want to spend 4-6000 hours grinding in tedious 3-8 sec respawns to get enough shit to actually get your kill/death ratio good. Plus, you gotta pay just to get Premium, if you didn't already own it before it went F2P.
...I never had to pay anything to win in Nether or play through the game... But, I guess it's all relative anyway.

I just got my first gaming PC, so this sale has come at the perfect time. It's crazy revisiting old console games--like Borderlands 2--and replaying them on PC. The graphical leap is astounding.

The PayPal part is what I did, was able to get the $6 on paypal then added to steam wallet using paypal.

Could have been greatest bundle yet. But not for that price.
This was posted yesterday already
and more importantly Indiegala again forgot it's Monday? (><)
Those weapons are just different llaystyles, and they aren't exzctly broken enough to make up for no teamwork or skill. Most that seem overpowered usually have a downside as well.

Can someone explain to me how Dustforce is coming up as over 50 hours long on howlongtobeat? like, I could finish 2/3 final fantasy games in that span of time. WTF makes that game take that long?
I am. I'm just waiting for a daily/flash/community sale with one of them in it.
This was me just after the winter sale this past year. Yes it's glorious playing old favorites from 360/ps3 in 1080p/60fps. Welcome to the party

Yeah I just felt they glanced over it more than a typical MG game would felt that way to me anyway. I guess I just wanted something a bit more complex than what I got.
