Doh, was watching top gun, missed free half life 2 :lol

Yeah, I have never played it because I just entered PC gaming a few months ago and only built a gaming PC last month.
Dude, if you're just entering PC gaming then The Orange Box has to be like...your first purchase. Some of the most value you'll ever get.

So I bought Alpha Protocol, quick question here. I notice on the store page it says it takes up 12GB, yet the download Steam gives me shows as 1GB, what up with that?

Anyone want to gift me a copy of Alpha Protocol for a Steam serial of DiRT2? I got the code with my GPU a couple of months ago, and it's just been lying here since.

People still don't have HL2? I'll gift HL2 and Episode 1 to the first person to quote me.

1-D_FTW made good on his post; he just gifted HL2 and HL2:Ep 1 to me. Awesome GAF/Steam member, repped!
 
You don't have to have only 10 items - the thing just takes a while to update the list in the contest page.

What are my chances of winning? About 1:1000000 if every Steam user has a wishlist. Depressing.

There is no Dragon Age Ultimate Edition in the EU right? Because I can't seem to find it.

Right now I have Portal 2, Super Meat Boy, Dragon Age, Oblivion, en New Vegas. I don't care about expensive games, I just want to play these games. And my PC probably even can't handle most of these games.
 
Portal 2
Rage
Brink
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

That's my list. I think after buying a game like Alpha Protocol I deserve to win, because that is a complete gamble! :lol

If you don't buy Alpha Protocol at that price you are not a nice person.

Will wait for $2 sale. I don't want to gamble on a game that I've heard so many bad things about. Plus this sale + christmas sale will destroy me. Go go Ramen and Water! :lol

Anyone want to get together for a Deus Ex pack? My disc copy has been lost for a few years, and I dont care for Invisible War otherwise I'd pick up the collection.

How was the performance for Alpha Protocol PC? Is it possible to sustain 60fps w AA/AF on a mid range setup?

How's M&K controls for this game? Or is gamepad or suited to the gameplay?

I see the game features the dreaded gigantic circular crosshair of console shittiness. I wonder if it can be changed/removed...

I really have my doubts about Portal 2 working for the 5 picks wishlist. I dont see how they could give it to you know, i mean if it was available for pre-order i guess it would work, but right now ? mmh..

What bad things? Go read the OT, the majority of impressions are completely positive.

be a nice person and buy it for someone!

No i dont want that POS garbage
Have you played it? Then don't spew shit about it.

It's UE3 so it runs about the same as any other UE3 game. It *needs* a controller for some of the mini games and feels good on it in general. Button prompts change IIRC.

No. It means that they won't tell IRS that you won. If you want to tell irs you have to pay taxes on it ;)

Also some american should buy a borderlands pack i could join in on :p

And I can't Protogalaxy with drkirby :(
 

Stop It

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.
morningbus said:
God-damn, that is a deep discount on Alpha Protocol.
Yes, yes it is!

I was more than willing to pay a tenner,but £5 is most certainly instabuy territory.

I wonder how many people have hastily drawn up a wish list for this little sweepstake. You' have to be incredibly shallow just to have done so to have a small chance of winning stuff.

Yes, I done it too :p
 
Not bad deals but I think I'll hold out on today. I made a wishlist though lol.

Edit: I'd be in for Borderlands pack

Edit2: My steam name is DUFFMcWALIN

Theres some kind of texture mod right? I guess I should check out the OT for the game, because it really sounds interesting.

SupaNaab said:
Is there a list or a way to use the Steam search to list only unreleased titles available on steam?
Not the steam search, but go to store and then to coming soon, it are only three pages or something.

Penumbra: Black Plague

The best list.

I feel kind of scummy for putting only full priced unreleased games in my list. But then again I do great PR work for Valve and Steam every chance I get.


I wonder if we will get to find out the names of the winners. I hope they use some type of criteria to choose. Like only choosing from accounts with games on them that have been active in the last 2 or 3 months. Hopefully some long abandoned account that was only used for a free copy of Alien Swarm or Portal doesn't get chosen.

Not like any of us really have a chance to win anyway, I'm just saying that I hope the gift doesn't go to waste.
