I need some economic advice. I just got this for finishing a mission in CSGO, and I'm torn between keeping or selling. On one hand, I don't much use the Galil, and getting like $15 out of it sounds great. But the other argument is that it looks absolutely fuckawesome. Help please.

I have never played GO (I have it and played 1.6 and Source for 15 years) but does that drop for free? Like..tf2 items? Because if so I am going to start playing GO as an secondary source of income.

You get such rare items by just playing the game? That sounds great, I think I need CS:GO :O

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Items like this do drop for free, but you're very VERY lucky to play for several hours and get something that's worth more than $0.03.

I started playing CS:GO after they implemented this system with similar hopes. After 25 hours the most expensive thing I've ever got was worth $0.40.

I finally started Dragon Age: Origins, after my first 10 hours save got erased. I'm pretty much at the same spot I was before. One thing though, when do the DLC quests become avaible? I think I remember that the first time they were avaible since the beginning. In fact, after the great battle at the beginning, I played a bit of the main story, and then I went and completed Warden's Keep. But now the quest is not showing up. But, Stone Prisoner, the two gifts things and the Blood Dragon armor are there. Also, the various side stories (Leliana's and the others).

All the DLC are showing fine in the game menu, they are all activated. Do I just need to wait for the quests to activate by themselves? I don't remember.

Warden's Keep, Stone Prisoner and Return to Ostagar should become available after the battle of Ostagar. Darkspawn Chronicles, Leliana's Song, Golems of Amgarrak, Witch Hunt, and Awakening are stand-alone campaigns, that you can start from the main menu.

If they are not showing up, then there's something wrong with your game

Modern Warfare 3 and earlier are region-free, for what it's worth. As is Ghosts' Gold Edition.
 
Well, you get crates and need keys to open them. You only get keys by buying them and you don't know what's inside the crate. So it's not that easy

Ah okay so you don't get good drops outside of crates then, makes sense.

I played a few hours when GO came out but it felt off compared to source and 1.6.. maybe I am just not used to it.

The only ones I don't have yet are Warden's Keep and Return to Ostagar, but I just read that you have to get to the party's camp for them to show up. Stone Prisoner was there since the beginning though.
 
Mine wasn't a crate. A mission (which drops free) reward for getting 20 kills in Casual.

Mission drops can be better than crate ones, and they're free! (With the pass.)

And I say sell it. It could be at a peak right now, and if you ever want it again, rebuy it. I'm also not a fan of the Galil.
 
So, I got Five Nights At Freddy's. That game is just so damn fun. Haha. I really love it, and I got a friend to play it with me.. He was too paranoid/scared to play the game correctly. XD He would always shut bot doors for a good amount of time, wasting all his energy to survive.

Fake Edit: Goddamn! I want that FEAR 2, the game I never got to try. D:

They patched the game alot, it feels different now (in the gameplay department) - compared to the Beta and when it first came out. So you might want to give it another try.

Slimy yet satisfying.

I feel that GO is a pretty solid amalgamation of 1.6 and Source. The game definitely has its own identity, but you'll pick up on its quirks quite quickly.

I think I waited 20 minutes too long and now it might not sell for as much. I tried playing a bit with it, and you're right, the Galil sucks. Oh well, still free money.

I'm still trying to get my head around the appeal of weapon skins, and why people are willing to pay insane (IMO) amounts of money for them. Do the other people playing even notice? Who's really paying attention to somebody's bling when you're busy trying not to get shot?

Aw crap, I've been doing it wrong! "Running out to get shot so the bad guys show up on the radar" is a role I play very well!

You pick up enemy players' weapons all the time in CS and people spectate others after dying, plenty of opportunities to show off your swag skins. The more invested you are in a multiplayer game the more likely you'll pay high prices for cosmetics to sweeten all the time you're spending with the game.

Well, just read mik7697-gate and that was quite... something. I'm glad that Skynet Modbot had evolved enough to prevent a javadots 2.0 though.

Also no quote walls for the time being, not much time to do so
and the free time is being taken by Marvel Unlimited

Roundabout is coming out on Sept. 18th

I've had my eye on this, dug the PAX East demo.

It looks so dumb but so good. Hype intensifies.

Basically, a team of American devs made a Puzzle Quest/Bejeweled clone with dating sims aspects, and went full bore on the sex. Also, the dialogue/voice acting is on another level.

Truly, the waifus for a new generation. Seriously, i never get sick of watching this. Their tumblr has more nuggets of joy like this.

It just reminds me of those terribly dubbed "The GREATEST GREATEST anime dub ever" videos.

I hope there's an equivalent to the "Have you ever tried to fuck a box?" line in the game. It would easily become game of the year if it did.

Sakura Spirits Part 2

Nope. That's Kendo Crush

It's like everything I hate in one visual novel, taunting me. Still can't make it past the first 15 seconds of the trailer.

hot damn that new alienware area 51 PC

f7kv4bo3l6pahmwot8as.jpg


if i were to get a new PC i would probably buy this

I'll stick with a normal looking PC thanks. That thing looks awful.

Guys I finally got Xenoblade working for the first time ever without sound issues... Im so happy! I just wish I could import my save files from my Wii U now, having to start the game all over haha. Everything is just beautiful at 4X the resolution though.. WOW>

It's so good, played it last year on my Wii U. Liked it despite doing all of the sidequest I possibly could.

Don't do the sidequests. It's a terrible idea.

We need Valvelanders with collectible Gaben Figure

Gaben amiibo for Smash. Would buy day one.

Man when are US sites going to sell Murdered for under 10 bucks.
UK be getting lucky at the moment.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KNBBKGE/

That's the perfect price point for Murdered too :(

I mean, the same can be said for most cosmetic only changes. Why do people buy $10 anime Steam backgrounds? Anyone that sees your profile won't likely remember it after they stop viewing it. It's just there to make you feel good, and to sell for Gabenbux.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Yay!

It took me a couple of months and around 120 hours. Feeling pretty proud about it. :D

Also, good evening, Steam-GAF! :)

Ya done good... Destiny will fulfill all your shooter needs when future CSGO bans happen :p
I was going to wait longer to get a new console, but my PC is starting to go out of date (and I'm really not looking forward to upgrading it, since I mainly only play CS:GO and FFXIV on it) and I'm excited for the console exclusives coming out, so eh, why not (and my friends are getting Destiny too, so I'll have people to play with)

I'm also going to be unbanned tonight lol :p

Smash Bros. is never the dark side.

Oh, you canceled your preorder. Yes, you have joined the dark side.
I'm probably going to pre-order it again whenever their is a set release date (but I still have Bayonetta 2 paid off, so life is good)

Don't worry. If I win it, I'll try it for you :p

...guys, i've joined the dark side

Sometimes that's necessary to truly appreciate what is good in the world.

I enjoyed Planescape a lot, is probably my favourite crpg at all, but I don't like BG.

That's a reasonable opinion which I happen to share. BG1 was a big thing in 98 because there weren't many RPGs of that scale and that well produced around but if you got over the initial excitement there was a lot of lame fights, empty screens and barely any story. Now BG2 on the other hand....

Has anyone ever added origin games to Steam as 'non steam' games ? Was messing around trying to add Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare and Titanfall to Steam so as I can pick them via big picture but didn't seem to like them at all. Guess it is a bit of mess using one service with another.
