I saw Mark Ecko's Getting up in a Half Price Bookstore for $1 once.
I briefly considered buying it, but ultimately did not.

It's a new* licensed game!
I remember that it was pretty good? Like that rollerblading game, Aggressive Inline?
I've heard that it was pretty decent.
With the influx of F2P, indie and early access games. A full featured non F2P game is a breath of fresh air.

hm, fair enough. I only remember that we mocked it with friends when it got out (back in middle school I think), maybe it was totally unwarranted, haha

Hey everybody... Ben from Ripstone Games here (Intern, so I may or may not keep introducing myself as that for a while). I'm here to let people know that Stick It To The Man, which came out on PS3/Vita last month, in between the two next gen console launches, is coming to Steam TODAY. If anybody has any questions, please, ask away. I'll do my best to answer anything and everything.

Cheers all. :)

Stupid question, but will a video be added to the steam page?
 
Congrats to raugupatis for getting one of those Steam Machines.



Worse I would say, neds included. Oh we summoned a cold freeze across and while it got rid of any spiders, it did nothing against them.

You can't even make a great moment in cinema like you can with spiders. http://youtu.be/Bksvon-hSDM

I don't even know what a ned is! Lucky me I guess?

lol.



How's the weather?

Changeable :). Everyone always says that it rains all the time in the UK but it really doesn't. I am in the driest part of the country where rainfall is concerned though so other UK GAFer's mileage might vary there. The weather is actually one of the best aspects of living in the UK for me. I spent 3 weeks in L.A. when I was younger and well before the end I wanted to scream because the weather was exactly the same every single day. Almost drove me mad with tedium. The nice thing about living in the UK is that one never really knows what one is going to get weather wise from day to day. I like that. Being a temperate climate it is never too extreme in any direction [although we almost got flooded recently :/] so one may go for a walk pretty much every day of the year. It suits me anyway.

Apparently my name is censored on the Steam Forums....
It's pretty funny seeing Jaw❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ whenever someone writes my name.

Good to see that you are still in one piece though. Stay safe out there!

Even at 75% off do I really want The Bureau?

Oh also Shadow Warrior is 75% off again over at GameFly (cheaper than Steam price recently with 20% off voucher).

There's a part of me that doesn't want to reply for the joke of it, but I do want to recognize the post.

If it helps at all, I got sidetracked at work while digging up the old post and didn't see your link posted in the mean time.

You were far from the only one so you're forgiven. :p
 
Ohhh damn, cheers guys. Thankfully I came to post the code before buying. I knew that in my head from not ordering it from there before but the deal got me excited. Woops!

I don't know what GMG can do to make this more clear

Set the customer note as the game title.

Edit: I'm getting the "There was an error initialising your transaction" error. Let me give you money, Valve. Also, Teslagrad looks amazing but I need to stop eating into my sale funds as I'm already going to have less than I'd expected to (thanks Christmas, you jerk).

Every time when people post deals like that which have coupons they almost never post the actual voucher code itself.

Ohhhh nice. Seams to have the second teir pledge rewards for early access purchases as well.

Might make up for the remorse I felt of not backing this.

Sorry posted from my phone and didn't have the code to hand as it's not in the body of the email but it's been the same code for the past week. I think it's GFDDEC20 and GFDDEC20UK.

60 bucks? are you fucking kidding me.

It'll be cheaper when released. It comes with extras that the final release will not (wasteland 1, novellas, soundtrack, art book).

I've also heard that some devs will set the price higher at early access to scare off people who might casually pick up a game and not understand that they're getting into an unfinished product.

Hi excuse me my english

this is a advertsing no sense in my client. I PAY MY GAMES TO STEAM!!

Steam moderator closed all my thread http://bit.ly/a0OIs9 http://bit.ly/cyuZdN http://bit.ly/btyz1B

and this is a PM from moderator

You signed the Eula for Steam and that means you accept ANY changes done to it and ANY graphical changes being made.

You don't have any rights to a clean client without Apple Advertising.
This is epic FAIL

Putting the Apple logo in the Windows client is equivalent to putting the pictures of Buddha in the Vatican in Rome.
Even if you may seem a trivial thing, you must remove the Apple logo from the Windows client.
In every forum / blog / site
you create real religious war between Windows users and Apple users.

If you agree pls post here your opinion
That thread was amazing.

It's early access. Games in early access often charge more than they will at launch to help fund the game. As it gets closer to release date, the price drops, but you have to wait.

Huh, that's very pro-consumer. I love pro-consumer devs, buying asap!

Thanks for posting this fellow GAFfer. 54.99€ is a bit harsh for me but the offers are nice, I heard good things about the Soundtrack. The Wasteland 1 offer might not be for me. Let's see. Is there a confirmed date for the actual release of the game?

"No earlier than late 2013" and given the beta has just been released I'd guess Q2 2014 at the earliest.

do all early access games cost more than on release?

Some do -- it's up to the developer/publisher. Pricing your game inordinately high during alpha/beta is a good way to ensure, at least for the most part, that the only people purchasing it are those who understand it's a buggy, incomplete product.

But If then what was the point of the kick-starter then? couldn't they budget according to what they got, That's why I don't like kick-starter you have to pay more and more to get a finished product.

I remember a mate of mine got this on the PS2 just before he got the 360. Good times. Weird that it says "steam key and retail key" though.

"Marc Ecko's Getting Up Steam Store and Retail Key"

I wonder if this means that retail keys activate on Steam now?!
