As a backer and a lover of anything Tim Shafer I have decided to give away Broken Age! But with a twist!

Two of the mystery games are Broken Age.
The other three are Bad Rats.

Choose wisely and goodluck!

Not since EA have I seen anyone rewarded so heavily for making a broken, awful game. The people who made Bad Rats are far more fortunate than they deserve.

I wonder how much money they have made from this.

Okay people. I think you should buy Cloudbuilt.

Soundtrack and art are great, and the basic game mechanics are fun. Controls are starting to feel a lot better now after an initial stage of feeling awkward.

Too early to judge the levels just yet, since I've only played through a couple of early stages. They seem okay, but I can't help but dislike the falling laser balls of death.

Jokes aside, I wouldn't be surprised if Valve had something to do with Pink winning yesterday. All of the major players had hopped onto the Red bandwagon by that point.

I think it's safe to say Valve are the ones controlling the race and not the community.

Well, that's depressing. I gave away a copy of Long Live the Queen but the person who claimed it didn't activate it. They took it-- it's not in my inventory-- but it isn't in their game list. I got curious and startled googling, and it turns out that they have a pattern of taking games without activating.

This is how this bullshit makes me feel:

I'm not going to name names. I'm sure detective-gaf could find lots of people who do this. The community here is pretty good, but it's hard to see that past the scum sometimes.

That should be bannable. Don´t make the name public but try talking with a mod.

Why not telling names? Protect others to not make the same mistake. Such things shouldn't be tolerated. People here are generous, if that's abused that just bad.

Does clicking a hyperlink induct me into DetectiveGaf? I'd really like a badge and gun.

Seriously though, this is why we have a blacklist for Modbot giveaways :)

Wow I was just about to add cloudbuilt to my cart but noticed I had a pm. Thank you Bssig12 (hope I spelled that right).

Anyone interested in adventure games is doing themselves a favor picking up BrokenAge, it's funny, looks gorgeous, and so far the puzzles have been enjoyable.

Buy Wolfenstein: The New Order. That's probably the deal of the sale. Machine Games absolutely nailed the series with their re-imagining of Wolfenstein and how they straddled the divide of old and new school shooter design. Wolfenstein easily has the best campaign in a shooter I've played in years. And it has so much replay value with the alternate timelines, all of the different collectibles and secrets. I hope they stick around and get a few more id franchises thrown their way: Hexen, Quake...Doom, mainly Doom. I want them to do Doom, even though id's working on that right now.

I'm really sorry this has happened to you. I also had problems with some members, well they were not selling the games they won but they begged me for games. If what you're saying is true, I hope this guy gets what he deserves
