Worth what?
btw stump i think it may be nice to add a line linking to the modbot thread with something like "if you want to do a giveaway of your own check out how here: link"
like it's easy to go to the op and look for the link there but that seems handy to me

i'm pretty sure it's all multiplayer so probably not unless you're really into it
Multiplayer is dead. Stick with the standard edition

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!

By the time I have a chance to play it, it'll probably be on sale again. My immediate backlog is pretty huge and I'm starting my second year of grad school in a month. I figure I can let someone else enjoy it in the mean time! I just bought it because I didn't want to miss it if I did decide I really wanted to play it now. lol
my bad I thought it was a easy thing to add (im a noob). I just hate 24hour raffles, 3 hour ones are ok but I would still rather have 1 hour.
15min lightning ones are fine for bundle stuff and whatnot, but I prefer something a little longer for bigger stuff, and for me 1 hour is the sweet spot
Me too. I'd use that one a lot.
A 12 hour one would be good too since most people seem to agree that 24 is really long.

As usual, senpai is right.
It's pretty short. You could have played it before some of the other longer stuff in your backlog.
*blub blub blub in disappointment*
Cheers to you for spreading the wealth though. This game made me laugh a lot.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Yeah, I might be able to come up with a sort of lightbox overlay that lets you browse these easier, thanks for the suggestion.
didnt they add a key to the indiegamestand one?

I agree the 24 hour raffle is a hassle for basically everyone involved, since either the person that started it needs to keep reposting it, or people from another 'shift' won't even know about it most of the time. If you keep in an option for something longer than 3 hours, maybe have modbot do a post with active longer raffles every 2 hours or whatever seems appropriate,
Why don't you make a two tier system? Limit the custom giveaway times to hour increments with 1-24 hours being the range. That coupled with a default 15 minute lightning raffle would cover the needs of most Modbot giveaways.
12-24 hours is a nice option for the GAF members who want to giveaway whatever nascent title that is currently a main topic on GAF and in the general Steam thread.
Your Bad Rats propaganda won't work Jason.

listen to the mad man
This is something that used to be hard to do but now wouldn't be since the part of ModBot's code that does posting on your behalf is a lot more robust than it used to be.

The 24-hour option's nice for when you're raffling off something that you'd like both the day and night crews to get a crack at.

I would like to see 8 or 12 hour raffles so people from different time zones have equal opportunity to enter.
So assuming tomorrow is the last day of the sale, I plan on getting-
Batman: Arkham City
Tomb Raider 2013
Sleeping Dogs
Ys: Oath in Felghana
Max Payne 3
And Maybe-
Brothers
TWD Season 1
Gone Home
I have a few questions-
1. Are all of the above well optimized games? My PC is weak and poorly optimized games usually don't run.
2. I played a bit of YS 1, and did not care for it. Should I get Oath in Felghana anyway? I love good soundtracks.
3. Is their any reason I shouldn't wait to play the "Maybe" games? I will probably eventually buy them anyway, but after the prices have dropped.
4. Are their any other moderately lengthy games that I should get? I like action-adventure games, but I am turned off by slow beginnings, clunky combat, and excessive menu usage.
Thanks for any responses.

I was one of the members he decided to be "less polite" and I'm glad I decided to speak up, I do regret not doing so much early. I talked in private with some GAFfers and they all told me to speak up to a Moderator and print-screen all those messages but I never did that since I didn't want to bother any of the Mods with this. I felt embarrassed to even consider searching for a mod to give some advice.
That would be fitting on the givers-only giveaways so there's no "how do i become a giver" confusion.
90 minutes would be good.
But it did actually release early than billed, and it wasn't midnight, at least in the UK. Whether that was rigged is unknowable without someone with knowledge internally
Let me know if it's good
So far, I'm really enjoying it. The atmosphere is top notch - couple that with the fantastic music and voice acting... if you're into space exploration. I'd recommend at that price $7.
Not a lot of "game" though. Mostly platforming, a puzzle here and there, and a cutscene. Definitely a game you can get sucked into and just escape/relax.
for those that don't know what game I'm talking about, it's Lifeless Planet.
Steam key available at http://store.indiegala.com/index.php/active-discounts/lifeless-planet.html
You poor, deluded fool.
(Level 30+ for a long time now, I'm happy when I get a booster every 2-3 weeks)
(Of course, this is me we're talking about, with my legendary bad luck)

Man, I wish Swapnote was still a thing so I could see Salsa's angry drawings.
Figured I would do my first giveaway with one of my favorite games of last generation
