Not as far as I'm aware.
The way stump explained modbot's selection process was that it only checks the qualifications as it selects the winner.

So it pulls a name -- corrosivefrost -- see it's on the manual block list.
Ok, so he didn't win.
Next name -- joeGAFer123 -- he hasn't given away a game since he won last.
Next name, then.
Ok, Tizoc. Yes, he's given away 3 games since he won last (providing someone claims those giveaways above), he's not on the black list, ok, it's his. Send him the PM then edit the last post for the giveaway to show him as the winner.

Cool thanks for clearing it up!

Just realized I've been on Gaf one year today O_O

Anyway I am so so close to picking up Transistor even though I know I should just wait for a sale. I lack self control :/

Did the same with Divinity. Wanted to hold out for a sale ... but didn't :D
Just pretend to reward yourself for something and buy it :D

Haha, wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks for the giveaway.
Edit: OOh, thank you very much for the giveaway :D
Ha, good things happen to those who are nice after all. Enjoy!
Hmm, I thought Thief Gold included both. Well if you like the first, get the second one ;)
It'll probably be added as a bonus. It is the best Thief game, after all.
Yeah, I hear a lot of praise for Thief 2. How's the third one?
As someone who loves '00 rpg/fps/stealth games like deus ex, I am kinda excited.
I didn't get the bundle, so I am hoping for generosity of gaf.
Maybe it's Blood Money? That would be aces, too.

I think it really depends on which setting you like most. Rome II has a much larger scale than Shogun 2 with hundreds of different factions, unit types etc Shogun 2 is a smaller but tighter and more refined experience. It's also cheaper to get Shogun +all DLC than base Rome II if I'm not mistaken

I'd personally go with the Gold Edition of Shogun 2 and wait for Rome II to be done with all it's DLCs and expansions. There are still a lot of them on the way and by the time all of them are out Rome II will probably be a completely different game and hopefully better than Shogun 2

Thanks

Uplink and Defcon are on my wishlist, wow.
Are steam keys included?

Haha, I thank you for being always cheerful. Helps when the day sucks.
It's a super funny anime, totally recommend it. Actually recommend it everyone, even those fed up with anime since it has no moe or cliche stuff. Adult themes, satire, realism all in one nice package. And the OST is unbelievable good.

Ha, typical gaffer gamer here ;)
Hope you have good advances with your game.

sorry no steam keys

I've not played Deadly Shadows at all but it has its fans, many of which feel that The Cradle is the best level the series as a whole has to offer.

Kinda random but I got the mobile game Ninja Village by Kairosoft a few months ago and then after playing Total War: Shogun 2, I was really amused by the similarities. Ninja Village is like a simplified 8-bit version without the strategic battles (as if you auto-resolved them), but with more city-building elements. Needless to say, I enjoyed them both.

Kairosoft makes the best mobile games. Simple, small, no microtransactions for the games that cost money and a whole lot of fun and love.

Although Ninja Village is lacking some real KI. The enemy doesn't really do anything aside from defending.

Thief 3 suffers from limited level size and a lot of streamlining. As far as I'm concerned it has one awesome level and that's about it.

Blood Money is amazing.

Isn't Kairosoft the one who made Game Dev Story? That was always pretty fun

This weeks - and the last one - free game from PCGamer is GTR Evolution.
Grab it here.
http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/23/free-steam-key/

I saw the title GTR and EVO and thought it was gonna be a racing game with nothing but Nissan Skylines and Mitsubishi EVO's, then I remembered that game is called Gran Turismo. Still I'm a huge car and racing geek so pretty cool to get this for free.

SteamGAF, please vote for our crazy addictive arcade on Greenlight :)

Yea, they really do. Ninja Village was fun the first few times around but will lack replayability for the reason you stated. Luckily, got most of their library with the free Amazon coins from a few months back. I'm enjoying Grand Prix Story at the moment, fun stuff.
 
I am not into racers, so get this if you like!

Blood Money is amazing.
Thanks for your impressions. I liked playing Deus Ex without getting noticed/stealth kills, so the original Thiefs look promising.

In other news, it's time to return to Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. I totally missed that I haven't gotten a lot of the current Playfire achievements. Hope they are not too bad :D

Back from PT.
Thanks for filling in on the Groupees IBM bundle, Deques.

About the GIF quoting stuff. I personally don't mind the one gif now and then, the problem comes from when people quote the post the gif was in over and over again, filling sometimes whole pages with the same image.
So, if people want to post a big gif, it would help if everyone started to actually use img-quotes, like so:
It doesn't take long, and it helps keep the overload down.
Some of you already do, and for that, I salute you ;)

Just saw this on Ars Technica:

Amusing and necessary since the MOBA crowd is the absolute worst.

Wait, weren't these the same people that said it was "good" to have a toxic player group not a month ago?


Indiegala July Madness unlocked the Chaos Engine.

New Uplay EU Bethesda games of the day:
  • Wolfenstein TNO 50% off
  • Skyrim vanilla 75% off
  • Fallout 3 GOTY 66% off (lololol, people that bought Fallout 3 vanilla that first day will be pissed)

Gamersgate is doing an Elder Scrolls day. Skyrim DLC still 50% off.

Can we all agree that this is one of the craziest games of all time?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/296470/?snr=1_4_4__105_2
Mount your Friends isn't even the craziest game involving half-naked muscular men.

STEAMGAF! Help me choose a game to play right now, the indecision is real. Right now I'm thinking Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Arkham Oranges, Shovel Knight, Shantae, or should I just stop being a bitch and finally get over my Sunbro's death and play some Dark Souls. I wish I really knew how to stream so you guys can witness the fail that is Huguu Souls.
Setting up a stream isn't too difficult, really. All basic information can be found over at this Team Liquid thread and be sure to check up on your connection speed as well.

Yeah, I hear a lot of praise for Thief 2. How's the third one?
Deadly Shadows is the lesser of the trilogy, but it's still an integral part of the story arc, imo, and it's still a good game.

Welcome back! Missed your grumpiness.
Hope PT wasn't too painful.
I'm getting... used to it.

Ah, it was Robot Ent. Orcs Must Die guys.
Ah.
I'm old and my memory is going!
At least I got... 3 letters right? ;)

What bundle did this come in?
Groupees BM13 bundle, iirc.

Thanks for the PCGamer heads up, Turfster. It actually gives +3 on your game count once you redeem the key. Link for the lazy http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/07/23/free-steam-key/

I missed my 300 thinking it was only one game. Oh well :(

The page does say it comes with a second and third game. ;)

We're finishing our five-week, million-key giveaway bonanza with the fastest game of the bunch. Grab yourself a free Steam key and blast off into the sunset with a copy of GTR Evolution, the expansion to the lauded Race 07, which is also included in this week's free bundle. GTR Evo gives you a selection of 49 GT cars to drive across 19 tracks, and the original Race 07 package includes 32 additional tracks, including classics like Monza and the Nürburgring, and 300 cars to crash. If you've never tried racing games before, GTR Evo is a great place to start. Claim your free Steam key below.

...

GTR Evolution and Race 07 were created by SimBin, who more recently released their free-to-play racer, the RaceRoom Racing Experience, which also comes with today's free Steam key. They've been making racing games for nearly a decade now, so you can expect some solid high speed action, for the price of a quick Facebook like.
