Who won that one mystery game that was either Bad Rats or Shovel Knight?

It wasn't me.

 

[lunarworks]

The problem is, there will be as much of a panic on the part of people trying to unload their cards as there will be people trying to complete badges. And actually, after 10 AM PST tomorrow there will be a lot less people making badges since the competition is over. I would say sell it now rather than risk it (that's what I did with my foil earlier today). But then I'm no market expert so don't blame me if I'm totally off the mark and it shoots up to a billion dollars.

Well. I put it up for $2.00. Half a second later it was sold.

Wow.

(Now it's going for $2.05. )

Spoiler

No idea. I haven't won a drawing in ages.

 

[Turfster]

Everyone should try the Swapper. The atmosphere, soundtrack and brain twisting puzzles are excellent. It's not that long either so don't worry about it affecting your backlog too much. Go get it!

Listen to this person.

 

[FiveElementNinja]

There's one more flash/daily right? I'm ready to be done with this sale and buy all the rest of the stuff in my wishlist that's on sale.

 

[Deitus]

Hah. Well I apologize if I made you lose out on an opportunity to make more money. I clearly don't know what I'm talking about, and I probably should have just kept my mouth shut. Though the last summer sale I held onto cards until the last day hoping they would increase in price, but they only went down. Then I held onto them for a year hoping they would eventually get rare and go up in price, but they only continued to go down. So I figured it's no use holding onto cards. I guess that might not apply to foils though.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Got ahold of Crimzon Clover. Alls I need now is Heavy Bullets and Valdis Story and I'll basically have everything I was hoping to get. Here's hoping for some M&Ms money tonight (and also a flash sale on one of the two).

 

[thereisnoif]

As someone who enjoyed SNES and Pen&Paper Shadowrun, Shadowrun Returns is pretty sweet so far. Can't wait to pick up the DLC.

Not done with the normal campaign myself but I hear the dlc is all sorts of goodness.

 

[denx]

There's one more flash/daily right? I'm ready to be done with this sale and buy all the rest of the stuff in my wishlist that's on sale.

4 more flash and community sales. Tomorrow will most likely be an encore, so no new dailies.

 

[Toshin]

clover is so fun, I'm happy I picked it up the other day

 

[Stumpokapow]

Sorry about the brief modbot service interruption, the computer it was on got rebooted and it didn't restart properly. It should catch up ASAP.

Oh man, Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden. If you want an alternative-universe where 2K forced Irrational at gunpoint to make a hidden-object iPad game set in Rapture (that's also on Steam), i've found your game.

So... my mom is addicted to hidden-object puzzle games, but i've never tried one. I'm currently stuck on a macbook air because my real desktop got accidentally put into storage during my move. I'm digging around for random sale stuff, and come across Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden (along with the other games from that developer like Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren's Call, etc, which are all 50% off and seem to get high reviews for the genre). I'm sort of intruiged, as the setting is STRAIGHT Rapture from Bioshock. They're not even subtle about it. Underwater art-deco city named Eden, where everything has gone to complete hell, complete with staged revolution? Yup. There's even a "Little Sister" character.

So, what the hell, it's 50% off, why not?... I think I actually don't mind this game at all. They're sort of a nice "chaser" after more serious games and whatnot. I'm sure most of them are terrible, but this Abyss game isn't completely horrible. It's sort of like My First Adventure Game, a drastically simplified Longest Journey or whatnot, from a first person perspective. The items and where to use them are pretty severely gated, so you never end up with 15 environments and 20 objects at once, and none of it is remotely brain-burning, but it's sort of fun to shut the brain off and just play something nice and simple now and then.

I"m not sure i'd want to play a ton of these, but it's sort of a riot to play one shamelessly set in Rapture.

I have a copy of Renegade Ops I want to trade for Chivalry.

Currently 7.50 for a current 5.00 game. I dunno if Renegade Ops has been cheaper this sale, but hoping it's a fair trade?

Mystery Game (probably Bad Rats, definitely not Shovel Knight) -- MB-1435CAB87E0F9154 - Taken by kevin1025. 135 entrants total.

Apparently kevin1025 won either Bad Rats or Shovel Knight.

Psh, you're flipping it for a 5 cent profit aren't you?

That would be pretty dumb since Valve takes a 15% cut.

I finally gave Dust: An Elysian Tail a chance (passed it's weirdly shaded profile art that looks out of place outside of Deviant Art) and it's really good. Basically, whenever a new indie game comes out and it's trumpeted as a Metroidvania, it usually never pans out for some reason or doesn't quite hit my tastebuds the right way. This is finally the game that does - the combat is fluid, the mechanics are fun, and the soundtrack is phenomenal.

Negatives: not a lot of exploring yet, the map screen isn't detailed enough and I'll probably start skipping the story sequences soon. Though I loved an early Resident Evil 4 reference, so if the game stays cute and keeps a few witty bits in there I'll stick around.

Worth $3, easily. I harshed on the art style with everyone else last week but the game plays so well and looks amazing in gameplay.

Don't skip the story, man. I didn't care for it at first either, but it got better later on. And the characters started growing on me.

 

[Biochet]

community vote kinda sucks

 

[Stuggernaut]

Hmmm.. do I craft a badge for Pink, or for Blue... who has better odds ;P

[derExperte]

I"m not sure i'd want to play a ton of these, but it's sort of a riot to play one shamelessly set in Rapture.

I need to get to that one soon, already played Nightmares from the Deep: The Siren`s Call (very good) and Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood (a bit lame). That reminds me that I should probably pick up Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink, the cards are pretty valuable.

 

[-MD-]

No way those Deus Ex recoil gifs are real. That has to be parody, right? Right? Please?

Hey Gaffers because steam community sucks and Lord Gaben hasnt made it happen yet. good luck enjoy

 

[Link Man]

Huh, didn't realize Shadowrun Returns was actually an RPG, initially wrote it off. Is the base game any good?

 

[MMBosstones86]

Be aware that only the standard edition is region-free.

Noted. Havn't checked the differences, but I think standard is good enough for me.

 

[grosvenor_92]

Don't know where to post this but I bought the whistleblower dlc for outlast and when i click on new game to start the dlc it always direct me to the steam store for some reason.

Has anyone run into this problem ? I don't know if I'll have to reinstall the game or do something else to get to work.

Sanic, but i think he'd be fine with Amy winning. She is his eternal waifu after all.

 

[Thezez]

I forgot how intense Far Cry 2 can be. Malaria and jamming guns aside, this is a great game.

You probably should have made this a raffle, but thanks for the games!

 

[GuardianE]

Holy crap, I just won Double Dragon Neon! Thank you, mysterious giver.

This something I've been waiting to go on sale.

EDIT: Hmmm, the code isn't valid, apparently.

 

[Deadbeat]

Im thinking everyone will win tomorrow or something like that.

 

[Stuggernaut]

i'd like to know as well. thanks

I started out as Blue, then went pink (just in time for the win!) now I have a blue token that is useless after today.

So I either switch to blue and craft my badge, or stay pink and craft my badge..hehe.

 

[freshVeggie]

Something weird happened. In anticipation of Aliens winning community choice, I looked up Crysis Maximum Edition on Steam and it only contains Crysis and Crysis Warhead.

I am sure maximum should have Crysis Wars, too. But now I can't find Crysis Wars on Steam at all?

What am I doing wrong?

 

[JackBauerCTU225]

yeah mod bot screwed up at first I posted the wrong email I wound up getting the raffle later
ill do it agin later correctly
sorry yall

[Deadbeat]

seems super sketchy.

Pink winning today means nothing matters.

 

[Stuggernaut]

Im thinking everyone will win tomorrow or something like that.

Wouldn't it be funny if they did a 5 way tie, and every team got 30 winners for their games.

Although that would just SCREAM fixed lol.

everyone except red please.

Crysis Wars comes included as part of Crysis, so it doesn't have its own store page.
