Does anybody have an extra copy of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition? From the four pack? A friend of mine is looking for one and would enjoy saving 10 bucks (she doesn't have the original Street Fighter IV on Steam, so she doesn't get the 10% discount).
Let me know and we can work something out.

IIRC, it was one of the games in the Humble Indie Bundle.
Valve said "yes,m we have a Free Game in the pipeline". People are speculating that it's either Dota 2 or TF2, since they should be getting more money from the MANN CO. Store than game sales by now.Drkirby said:
I'm not that surprised to see that TF2 might go Free 2 Play. It's great news, I guess. I hope it doesn't attract a multitude of cheaters to the game, if that's the case.

This has likely been mentioned in this thread before, or perhaps there is some way to spoof it but I noticed today someone had status saying they were playing DOTA 2 Beta.
Does anyone know anything about a beta going around?

I think it's only for valve employees right now. To note the player list names were all "player 1" "player 2" player 3" and so on.homerhendrix said:

I noticed it while watching the TF2 video winners, one of the video authors was in game on DOTA 2 Beta. I was instantly jealous...

I think there's a way to get Steam to say you're playing anything, by renaming an added non-Steam game to what you want it to say. So unless I'm thinking of the wrong thing, I think they could just rename an app in Steam to "DOTA 2" and start it to generate that message.

So, in preparation for the summer sale, I have an awkward situation I never really imagined I'd have to deal with.
So I have a 12 year old brother. He plays lots of violent M rated games, like TF2, CSS, CoD, whatever.
But my mom has a problem with sexual content in games, such as sex sounds, nudity, or explicit strong references to sex.
I recently bought Fallout:NV, and it's becoming pretty evident this is not a game he will be able to play.
But he really wants to play it, and now he's talking about buying Fallout 3 during the sale as a replacement since I won't let him play NV.
So, what's the content like in Fallout 3? Obviously there's loads of violence, but disregard that. I'm mostly worried about explicit sexual stuff

Did it say "In a Non-Steam Game: DOTA 2 Beta"? Because you can spoof what game you're playing, but only on non-Steam games.

I don't have an extra copy but I'd be willing to be apart of a four pack. I've been meaning to pre-order it myself.

So the exploding limbs and decapitations and scantily clad female bodies and bits of brain flying across the wasteland are ok, but tits are not?
There's not sex mini game or anything. You CAN hire a prostitute, but the most sexual part is lying in bed and she'll follow you and the screen turns black and that's it. Not like DA:O or ME where there's some scenes of sex.

Yea, all that is fine. Gibs or whatever don't offend me or my family since it's just a video game, but the sex stuff gets into very real situations we'd rather not explain to a 12 year old.Kuro Madoushi said:
Well, in NV there's moaning and stuff, which would be a big no-no
Just lying in bed is nothing worse than what the Sims has.

It depends on the game, but it's not terrible. You can give it a try by downloading the OnLive app and most games have a 30 minute trial.
Your brother is 12 years old. Your parents should probably tell him the birds and the bees around now I think.balladofwindfishes said:
Better off getting proper information than misinformation, especially from peers or the media (such as videogames).
I guarantee his friends have or know someone who has had sex at that age.
edit: also get him while he's still impressionable. I know I wasn't (in terms of "no fuck you mom" sort of way) when I learned more about that stuff later on.

Oh he already knows everything, they just are avoiding it.
He lives on the Internet, it would pretty much be impossible at this point for him to not be exposed.

chances are a 12 year old is not going to see the bloody carcass of a half blown off stump of a man. The concept is entirely fictional.
chances are a 12 year old is going to see boobies.
I don't see how this is unacceptable feelings, and how everything negative must be treated with equal fairness.

I may have accidentally posted your registry findings on every major TF2 related forum.Drkirby said:
Sorry
I love the people who think it is a completely different game (Though the subscription does actually have no Applications currently associated with it, which is very odd, but that could be due to the fact that if it is in the registry, and was fully associated with TF2, everyone would be able to download it for free before it is meant to be)balladofwindfishes said:
The name does highly suggest it is going to be tied to TF2 though, since like I showed App 440 is TF2. Or Valve could be trolling us. (Though ff valve was onto this kind of thing and didn't want anyone to know about it, they could of just named it after Railworks DLC, and no one would ever figure it out)
