steam should add an option to delete gameplay tracking stats for a game. like start from scratch

I don't care enough to get proper gameplay tracking instead of free money, so the card idling has really fucked me up in that regard

I mean, people are gonna think I played 32 hours of Rush Bros

It would be nice to be able to wipe away idle time, but I can certainly understand that it's a super-low-priority feature.

Hi guys, a weird thing just happened.

After getting Sniper Elite V2 for free on steam (go guys, get it!), I opened up my games library and suddenly there was "Orion: Dino Horde - 6 Days Left".
At first I thought it is an ad but it says "click here to install and play" etc. How is that possible? I never bought that game and on the steam page it is listed as 0.99$ (down from 14,99$) and it says I already own the game.

What in the what??? Did I just get an anonymous prize?

Probably a free play period.
 
Send the gift to yourself via email from your inventory. Open the email and copy and paste that link to modbot. You probably want to strip your email out of the link, so it's safe to remove everything past and including the "?" in the link.

i.e. just remove "?redeemer=YOUREMAIL%40gmail.com"

Yeah. I did that.
Like:

"register

Takedown Red Sabre - https://store.steampowered.com/xxxxx/
Dead Island Epidemic - https://store.steampowered.com/xxxxx/

NOLURKERS
BLACKLIST"

I never got a Modbot message back.

It's not because there's one single person doing all the voice over or the variety of the dialogue itself. The monotony comes from the lack of variety of his vocal interventions; every consecutive sentence he speaks sounds exactly as the previous one, with the same intonation and weight. No dynamic range or spectrum.

Sounds like a completely stylistic preference rather than a qualitative issue. That calm, collected matter fact speaking is inherent to his character, it doesn't lend itself to working outside of that.

register game should be the subject and the body shouldn't have anything but the games and the keywords. register isn't a keyword, so if you had that in the body...

Yeah. Sure. register was in the topic. I made it like it showed in the tutorial and normally I get a PM back. But when I register it like that, Modbot doesnt send me anything.

It would seem they have a free play week in place for it along with the huge discount. And apparently the best thing they can say about it is that once again they are going to replace it with a new version with a new name.

I wonder what's going on with Derrick the Deathfin. It's been under "New Releases" for a few hours now but without a price. Been looking forward to playing that game again.

Aside: Been playing a mage in DS2 to get a character ready for the DLC, and I'm wishing I had done so earlier. Sorcerers are neat.

My granddad told me stories when he was there, that they experimented on Zombies and Mutants and Monsters. It MUST be historically accurate!

Haha, reminds me of that South Park episode where Stan fails his oral report on the Vietnam War because of Jimbo and Ned's account of what happened.
 
Random Prototype 2 video, early side mission, no spoilers:

Not really interesting, but I converted it to webm, so I figured I'd post it.
The movement options in this game make traversal a lot of fun.

Heller is like the anti-JaseC... "How many fuckin' crates are there?"

So, I'm close to spend my Summer Sale budget on Mario Kart 8. I don't even own a Wii U ( I would be playing at a friend's house).



Talk me out of it Steamgaf ;_;

Have your friend buy it with their money instead, since they actually own a Wii U. Then come over when you wanna play.

Save your monies for summer seal.

Everyone wins
except your friend.

Aren't people selling the codes or something for it for relatively cheap? Check the B/S/T thread.

I can't, it's just too much fun and too well polished for me to ever tell someone not to buy it. Especially if you can get in on some of the GAF vs GAF racing we have over in the Mario Kart 8 thread

It's crazy, it's sometimes maddening, but it's just pure gaming bliss when you are going against fellow GAFFERs or a friend in real life.

Though you should get your friend to split the cost of the game with you or have him pay for it (you keep Mario Kart) and he can get the free downloaded game or sell it online to recoup the cost.

Those codes are to redeem other games, like Pikmin 3, NSMB U and others. Although I guess I could get a good chunk of the money back by selling that code....
 
I like you guys.



A Galaxy Rangers avatar? I like you, too.

It was my favorite show growing up. Come home from school and watch Galaxy Rangers.

I still feel its pretty good, it did a lot of things its contemporaries didn't.

Its a shame Robert Mandel never got his reboot project off the ground.

Maybe I should try to make a Galaxy Rangers RPG with RPG Maker. :)

It's a great game, but if you don't own a Wii U, get your friend to buy it instead.

Plus, you can save yourself some of the frustration of getting blue shelled or otherwise robbed at the finish line.

love that game

It's so satisfying to be able to destroy a Blue Shell while in first place now. Though, things can still happen.

Nailed it.

Besides, it's mario kart. It's pretty much the same as the last 7 games.

It looks free to me (in USA). I went to the store page, only thing I could do was "Install". Now when I got to the store page it says I already own it and there's no ability to purchase it.

Just started Deus Ex Human Revolution DC and I'm already missing the humorous bits from the OG game. KB/M control is okay(Vsync off), but I will try my DS3 in the future just for kicks. The audio is in native 7.1 surround sound, but it's notably compressed. Don't kill me here, but I wouldn't mind 10 more gigs to get better sound quality. Like it's been stated before, the pre-rendered video has a different tone than in-game for this DC version(doesn't bother me one bit). I'm looking forward to playing the rest of the game, and maybe the more serious tone will jive with me.

MK8's been getting good press...did Ninty step up their game after Sega threw down the gauntlet with Sonic Racing Transformed?

Also, I kind of want Ultionus, but the one bundle I saw it in didn't really interest me. Are there any other current bundles that have it (I usually look at blink, indiegala, indie royale, bundle stars, groupees, and humble of course). Maybe another bundle site I'm unfamiliar with?

W8 for daily deal.
Sadly, as a Nintendo game, it will probably have a deal 5 years from now.

Well, she is a broke college student so she will not be able to buy it anytime soon. I'm a slightly less broke college student and already had some money set aside for games anyways. I will also eventually buy a Wii U anyways (
dat Bayonetta 2 power
).
