Disqualify yourself by sending ModBot a message with two entries instead of one
Edit: Oh, intentional disqualification might work, but I'd always assumed this imposed some sort of cooldown period.
If its not a free for all, just enter again and you'll disqualify yourself. Otherwise, just hope you're unlucky I suppose.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully it all goes well.

Probably a heap because thats where all the cheap copies came from. I would've loved to get it off Steam but couldn't justify the $20 price difference over GMG.

Well there was that whole Origin India "error" that went on as well ;)

Seeing as no matter where you bought the game it has Uplay integration it would be nice to see the split on how each platform performed. I know a few people who don't want client inception with multiple layers and would be the type to plump for the Uplay version. Plus all other etailers and retail copies were Uplay redeemable so there's that to account for. Origin had that pricing fiasco which probably accounted for more than expected copies there. And some folks (like myself) prefer to have content delivery and patching done by Steam. That's not accounting for collectors or people who like their libraries consistent or only on one platform.

Still I don't think there's any worry about Uplay being an exclusive platform for Ubi titles just yet unlike EA and Origin.

They just don't seem to care about that really. If they did they wouldn't bother with the simul-releases. I think they're happy with Uplay integration at this point, though they should definitely move to the in-game model used by Rocksmith 2014.

^Unless that's a shitty Tetris game, I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A TETRIS GAME ON STEAM!

You want King Kong and Tintin?
You can't handle King Kong and Tintin!

Jase has TBs of Ronan images and GIFs, King Kong is but an ant and Tintin is but a molecule compared to it.

I guess you are right, JaseC must be an expert at handling small things.

Sorry JaseC <3

Bah, I didn't buy it.

Edit: And of course it's the one Debut Bundle I didn't get my hands on.
 
Oh. Two at once:

Metal Planet -- MB-4C63E6D4251B78D9 - Taken by corrosivefrost

Not sure if they work, but somehow I had those two in the IR Debut Bundle and it seems the keys I got from Desura were different.

Edit: Quick JaseC! ;)
 

JaseC

It's also in the latest LazyGuys bundle!

Oh good, in that case I do have a key incoming!

Edit: Quick JaseC! ;)

I don't like to claim games I wouldn't actually play (or in the case of Barbie, wouldn't use for a milestone)... which is why I've yet to even enter a single giveaway.

Mark these words. You can't see JaseC admitting not buying things that easily.
Also nice new avatar.

Ta. The photo is technically old (TIFF '12) but it's new in the sense that it was just released.
 
I bought Injustice: Gods Among Us yesterday but it hasn't turned up on my account yet.

I also contacted Steam yesterday but nothing yet.

Has anyone experienced the same thing?

All 10 Totems make life a nightmare.
Some of those "challenges" where there's an achievement for completing them with all totems on are just... yeah.

There's a trick to the machete challenge... roll into the center and go kamikaze until they stop spawning -- then just go around the outside and take out the generators and dragon statues as quickly as possible.

Thanks! Will try your strategy today, and yeah, those challenges must be hellish once you unlock every single totem. :-|

Once I had to wait several hours before receiving the "Thank you for your purchase" confirmation email from Steam - I gather it took some time to check the transaction - and then the game was added to my library.

Have you received your confirmation email yet?
 

JaseC

gave away the keys to the kingdom.
Yeah, I've done that and no luck.

The problem is, there's no trace of the purchase if I look at Account details and License & Subscriptions. The money has been drawn though.

Are you sure your card was actually charged? If the payment is just pending then it'll drop off after a few days.

I paid with Steam Wallet and yes, I'm sure!

Yes, I got the confirmation e-mail the same second I purchased it :)

If you have paid with your Steam wallet, that is strange indeed; something like this happened when I bought a game using Skrill, and maybe they wanted to check my account was legitimate.

On the bright side, since you have received your email confirmation with your payment info, that should be a proof enough of your purchase so you should be safe.

Ah, I thought you were referring to your bank account with "drawn". The sale ends in 28 hours and if the sale is over by the time you get a response I'm not sure if you'll get the game or just have to accept a refund. Since the issue was at Steam's end I'd like to assume the former.

So I'm pretty sure it's worth 3 bucks, but is Spore worth investing any time in? I have seen some videos, but I can't really see what that whole game is all about. Any views on the game?

One more reason why I don't regret waiting for an eventual Vita version.

My brother is having an issue adding sniper elite v2 to his library. Every time he tries it says there was a problem adding this product to your steam account. Anyone have this issue and know how to fix it?
 
man all these mario kart gifs make it look like easy goty. i'm running out of excuses not to get a wii u.

That luigi one is amazing.

Wonderful 101 didn't make you run out and get one? You're missing out.

This is probably the one reason I want a Wii U at the moment (since Betrayonetta 2 hasn't released yet).

Thanks! Will try your strategy today, and yeah, those challenges must be hellish once you unlock every single totem. :-|

I remember only being able to get silver and then I looked around for some strategies and the one that I posted was what did it for me... if you get to the center and wreak havoc before they can spawn and get away, it makes it so you only have to deal with the stationary targets (and whatever they spawn). You should only have to throw the machette < 5 times or so... depending on how strong your regular slashes are from upgrades vs how much damage your throws do.

And yeah, those challenge achievements with the totems were a beast. It took me multiple tries and multiple strategies that I wouldn't normally use before I found things that worked for me. I still have one of them featured on my showcase on my profile page. :)

---

Speaking of -- I wish you could repeat showcases but the webpage/widget would be smart enough to not repeat other data that you don't want.

Like if I put a 2nd achievement showcase up and pick 5 more I want to be put up, I don't want/need it to put up my collection stats again. :\

Jshackels, is this something ES could fix?

messing around with sniper elite :D

Hahaha, shooting Nazis in the dick is probably better than they deserve.
