Support NeoGAF

[Toki767]

I donated most of the keys I got from the extra Bethesda packs I got to GAF bingo night so hopefully the ones who win them are the ones who couldn't afford them.

- Bioshock 2
- Spec Ops: The Line
- Sleeping Dogs

I already own Darksiders 1...if I buy the Darksiders franchise pack, will the extra copy of DS1 go to my gift inventory?

If you buy the pack from Amazon, yes. If through steam, I don't think so.

I hope you are talking about the Amazon pack. $13 for DS, DS 2 and season pass.

Have Fallout 3 GOTY eiditon (waiting on key) $5, anyone interested.

Err, UFO Defense?

 

[Petrie]

Is the bingo already live? I have a couple of keys I got specifically for it. Can finally give something to it. Never bothered to join though.

Bingo isn't live yet, but the thread is open and taking donations. I gave a bunch.

everyone gets a card with a set of common events around steam-gaf on it and the winner is the person who marks them all off. examples from previous years include:

- salsa claims to be a guy
- someone asks who the girl in JaseC's avatar is
- someone gets berated for buying something too early
- morningbus and stallion make out in a bathtub full of peanut butter
- xelios does something awesome
- salsa gets banned

I HAVE been wondering who the girl in JaseC's Avatar is :lol

I took the question to mean, "Why UFO Defense?"

I know, it just seems weird that he spent $38 on all that. Seems more likely he meant Enemy Unknown.

 

[O.DOGG]

Yeah, that's my take on it. Very curious too.

I was reading the newspaper a couple of weeks ago and there was a half-page picture of her about some movie, I instantly remembered about "that neogaf guy".

And damn, I can't blame you. She's just...wow.

 

[graywolf323]

Jase should try communicating for an entire day using only images of Saorise

 

[snack]

That's what it is marketed as in NA.

 

[j-wood]

If you buy the pack from Amazon, yes. If through steam, I don't think so.

No, I'm referring to the steam deal. It's a difference of 59 cents!

As the philosopher Alec Baldwin once said, "In my defence: yes."

Edit: Aw, you edited.

This challenge intrigues me.

that's why "jase posts saorise" isn't on the bingo cards!

 

[Watevaman]

Waiting for IL-2 Cliffs of Dover to drop below $10 (anywhere, as it's Steam activated) and want to see if Force Unleashed 2 will drop to $5. I can't think of anything else I'm actually wanting.

 

[Salsa]

Hey peeps sorry for the falling out on the OP. Grandma got sick and most of all she's been kinda bummed so I suggested we take her on a mini vacation and spend christmas on this friend's cabin. Gonna be here till tuesday with just phone access, I can still can update the OP if someone commits to send me screengrabs of the deals by pm, otherwise stump/nirolak/whoever feel free to edit it yourselves.

Or just leave it as is, I dont really know how many look at it

 

[Stumpokapow]

It looks like CyL is going to own the shit out of Tappet and Sir Roderick with that armada of snowballs.

 

[JaseC]

The game itself, not the name.

relax salsa, take care of your grandma and we'll be fine here. it's apparently a terrible sale anyway, people are outraged.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Yeah. There are really shitty people on GAF this holiday trying to profit from anything they can. Sad really.

Then there's GAF bingo, bringing the awesome .

What's your problem? People didn't sell you Skyrim cheap enough and now their shitty people? Fuck that. I've given multiple games away for free including games for bingo and just random gifts. I also sold Skyrim to a gaffer for $15 and he was happy to have the opportunity.

Thanks for the heads up. Paid $3 so they hopefully get something after getting fucked over by transactions fees.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

Because it's a good game?

Steam over grandma bro, my priorities are rightfully set

 

[AlexBasch]

Edit: Aw, you edited.

"Posts her a lot" sounded a bit odd.

Hope she gets well soon! Also, people don't read the OP ;P

You go a little crazy one Easter weekend and you can never live it down.

 

[tiny raptor]

I already posted what I meant by my question. I was not asking, "Why buy UFO Defense?"

 

[JaseC]

Because it's a good game?

If you say so. And I don't mean that in the, "That's a strange opinion to have" sense, because, true to form, despite owning the game, I haven't played it.

 

[legacyzero]

And ruin that lovely coffee break they're having

I find all the lame profiteering on GAF during these sales to be shitty is all, and I call it what it is.

And I had no problem getting the games at a fair price thanks to the decent Gaffers still around.

Having gotten them myself doesn't make what you guys are doing any less slimy.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Got Ghost Recon....all excited to give it a go! And I'm disconnected literally every single game I try to join. What the Hell?

 

[Def Jukie]

I don't really have any interest in this bingo business but I've got some extra keys I'm giving away. Send me a pm for any of the following.

Saints Row The Third

Humble Bundle 6 (Vessel, Torchlight, Rochard, S.P.A.Z., and Shatter)

Titan Quest

Edit: All gone.

 

[pelican]

I've been capped Now Steam barely loads.

Hope the deals in the next few days are shitty

What is this dark age you talk of? Capped internet. I thought that was long gone, except on mobile deals.

Ya know what would be a fair price? Selling games at market value: what they go for on eBay or Steam.

There is nothing wrong with "profiteering" as you called it.

You go a little crazy one Easter weekend and you can never live it down.

frankly I'm just amazed that you guys managed to find the cash to fill a whole bathtub during a steam sale

 

[drizzle]

It looks like CyL is going to own the shit out of Tappet and Sir Roderick with that armada of snowballs.

Oh god fucking dammit I forgot about the backgrounds again.

Grrr.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

I haven't played much of it. Hard as hell, but pretty great.

I already posted what I meant by my question. I was not asking, "Why buy UFO Defense?"

Ambiguity crisis averted. There sure was a lot of that, Johnny, I'm glad we made it out alive.

 

[Salsa]

Also since we were gonna come here I spent money that could be used for the sales on buying a Kindle, masquerading it as a gift

I feel mature

Slimy? Whatever. I'm glad you got the game at the price you were willing to pay. Selling Skyrim for $15 isn't what I would consider despicable profiteering.

 

[Toki767]

Everytime something like the Bethesda deal happens there's always an argument over ethics.

So what would be a fair price for let's say Skyrim

Spoiler

(yes, I have a key left)

? It's not that we got the games for free and most of the Bethesda bundle is almost worthless because everyone here owns that stuff (Rage, Fallouts, the old Elder Scrolls) or doesn't want it (Rogue Warrior, Hunted). Plus PayPal fees.

 

[Mordeccai]

lol steam u cray

 

[Salsa]

You're tearing us apart Bethesda

 

[Felix Lighter]

Sorry, I should have let it go.
