In the email from M&Ms, you are provided with the billing address.

Use your name, the M&Ms billing address, the M&Ms card number (without spaces), and the M&Ms security code.

Everything should go smoothly.

Yea, I tried all that and it's telling me it's being decline.

I'll try one of the other ones I won and see if this one is just borked.

I can definitly see where you're coming from and why you're annoyed at stuff like that. But evne your explaination didn't change my uneasyness. There are a few theories what Valve could've done, if they're done anything, but we will maybe never know.

Either way, was it reddit or valve, he fun was totally sucked out of this game.

I think it was inevitable really. At best you get something like day two where two teams stay neck and neck for the whole day. But people very quickly figure out what is optimal, and most people's real interest is only going to be in the first couple of days anyway.

I think the biggest problem is the ability to change teams. It really eliminates any motivation for people to fight to win, they can just switch. Also, the tokens are just too powerful. It allows a few people to contribute points equal to thousands and thousands of normal badges.

That's what I figured so I wanted to push him towards the GFWL-less version.

Why, is it better?

Desert game with a tall building, I'll be there day 1.
I love seeing more cell shaded games.

 

[Lomax]

I really hope The Pinball Arcade gets a flash sale. If not, I'm tempted in getting the 25% off Season One Pack.

It hasn't been widely advertised, but right now you can get three tables for 1 cent if you check inside the game.

GFWL or not, the Colonies version is superior. *shrug*

 

[ArynCrinn]

What? I can't see that game! I have only three. Where do I get Dead Island. It doesn't show up on search either.

But Nether looks promising.




Oh, why does a paid game incorporate Pay2Win? That really doesn't make me wanna buy it.

Anyone played Nether? What you think of it?

I played Nether a great deal, it was fun. Cool game.

 

[Clawww]

[chainfire95]

Are there any indie game released or in development that are similar to fire emblem or advanced wars?

 

[Ibuki]

Aside from being unplayable once it shuts down if they don't patch it out?

 

[derExperte]

Why, is it better?

The reason the other one (and LP2) doesn't get a discount is most probably that GFWL will sonner or later die. It may remain playable offline but prepare for problems.

Whoops, maybe I did fuck up, tell you what, send me your steam name and I will give you something else instead.

Started this summer sale with just 1 goal. Getting S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat!

Result until now: Gateways, Urban Trials, Divine Divinity, Metro 2033, DA:O, E.Y.E. and Monaco.

First summer sale and I naively thought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was a possibility. Well, does anyone know if the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games went on sale in the past? I know Clear Sky is now for 4.99, but CoP doesn't seem to move at all. Shouldn't get my hopes up probably, right?

 

[ramoisdead]

Now I see it; for Ripley's, Black Hole, and Theater of Magic. Good deal for anyone that has never played TPA. Unfortunately I own those on PSN and there may be a good chance I might buy the Season One pack so I'll probably put my penny towards that.

Gateways is awesome! Sort of like a wacky 2D Portal, with arguably more complexity.

As for Stalker, I wouldn't get my hopes up for any sort of discount. Same for The Forest/Stomping Land and shamefully Ninja Gaiden Z.

Edit: I'd LOVE to be wrong though!

 

[JaseC]

Why, is it better?

Lost Planet vanilla has less content but is potentially less of a hassle to play due to GFWL's storied history misbehaviour, not to mention GFWL itself will be shutting down at some point in the not-too-distant future. Capcom may patch GFWL out of Colonies or it may not, but even assuming the game is to remain a GFWL title, you could play it post-shutdown with the help of a local profile or even just use xliveless/a cracked executable to bypass it entirely.

I'd be surprised if STALKER doesn't get a sale.

Thanks for Terraria, Vuze!

And now somehow I have two coupons for 25% off Pixel Piracy. Not sure if that's related, or a hint in some way...but thanks all the same.

MS isn't going to keep servers that don't bring them anything online forever.
Maybe they won't be shut down next week, but they will be.

Sigh. Not again.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

It will eventually. They just pushed back the shutdown date indefinitely.

Yeah, I'm actually not very good at pinball so I prefer Pinball FX2 to the real tables which are just annoyingly hard to me. Plus the single table prices are just too high and the package deals are too large. I might be tempted to bite on one of the TPA seasons at 75% off but the devs have indicated that seems pretty unlikely any time soon. 40-50% off in a flash or daily seems like a possibility though.

Though according to Wiki....

"Lost Planet: Colonies is a gold edition version of Extreme Condition for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. The game includes new multiplayer maps, a Human vs Akrid multiplayer mode, and a selection of new multiplayer characters and weapons.

Colonies also introduces four new single-player modes: Score Attack (points are given for each kill using combos, akin to the co-op mode in Halo 3), Time Trial Battle Mode (similar to the Arcade mode of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare), first person shooter mode, and Unlimited Mode (which must be unlocked)."

So half of the added content will be useless after GFWL is gone. Also is anyone even playing these mode online now? I'd just buy the GFWL-less version now, the other one won't get a discount anyway.

 

[JaseC]

I thought it wasn't shutting down?

All Microsoft did was (finally) acknowledge that the leaked date of July 1st is no longer applicable.

Do any of the new vegas add ons make it so the game dooesn't end when you beat the main quest?

Both.
(SS2 is the better of the two, tho)

 

[Consequence]

Bought Nether. I like the idea of it and have at least one friend who'll play it with me, so it should scratch the online survival itch until Don't Starve multiplayer hits.

Sounds like you may like Unity of Command.

SS2, no contest. I guess if you prefer more of a FPS bias HL1, but really....SS2.

SS2.

Seriously though I've never been able to get into Half-Life 1.

IIRC none of the New Vegas DLC adds any post-game content so no.
