Holy shit. I was about to play HL2 all the way through for the first time, so glad I saw this first. Anyone know how easy this is to install?

I would highly recommend playing HL2 through first without the cinematic mod. It adds a lot of stuff that simply wasn't there before and changes the colors and moods of certain locations far too much imo. And the character model changes are outright silly. The geometry may be simple, but the art and design is still pretty strong.

Oh man that foliage placement misses the point so badly.

CS:GO Night was fun with GAF, although those hostage maps were really boring. Prefer playing the normal ones, but it was still a fun night. :d I gotta say. That Chawlie guy was pretty good and I'm impressed with the general skill of the guys who were playing tonight (altho some were of course more skilled and experienced than others). The ping was alright too. Better than those times we queue'd up for a casual match in lobby. Gotta work a bit more on my AWP.

Come on you were owning everyone with the awp it was awesome. yeah we generally have one every weekend teach me the art of the AWP senpai.

You were among the best players cHinzo! I dragged the quality down a notch, ha.

You did well just keep practicing with GAF and you will be ready for comp in no time

also damn. that look amazing.

 

[Hugstable]

Just had my first ever CS:GO match with gaffers. Pretty fun but I realized something. Unlike Left4Dead2 - where every map is fun - in CS there were maps I liked and others I detested.
Obviously I sucked hard but Shadow, cHinzo and others helped. I thought maneil99 would be there, too. Wonder who that one guy with the funny voice is here on Gaf.


And here I thought my 7 € were of significance.... treat yourself to some great stuff jman, you deserve it! Far Cry 4 would be my pick.
You know, you should add an option to set up idlemaster so that one card every 100 cards gets automatically send to you. I'd use it. Use it for ES or iM or any future greatness.

Funniest thing I heard all night "How can you play? You're a vegetable, you have no arms!" I don't remember who said it, but it was hilarious

 

[Last Baron]

Man the Darksiders achievement unlocks are wonky. You basically have to have a fresh restart of the Steam client before you play the game otherwise you're not getting your achievements.

 

[MRORANGE]

You should really play HL2 without mods first, the game hasn't aged badly, plus a lot of mods lose the charm of where the game is set in, Eastern Europe looks vastly different to modern western cities.

Dota 2 keys are going away period. There is little reason to buy them at all anymore.

Uhhh... No. Dota 2 keys are the best right now in long term (10 month) investment for two reasons.

#1) They now will turn into any new chests that are released by valve.
#2) They are no longer available in the store, thus decreasing supply and increasing prices eventually.

I've finally settled into my dorm. How am I supposed to live with this paltry 3rd world 3 mbps connection?

It's a bit late, but thanks freshveggie for the birthday gift. Hikkis for life.

GabeN also gave me a booster pack for gun monkeys. T-thanks gabe

at most they will be the same price as the chests are in the store

they will not go over 2 50 because of suppy and demand

so go for it if you want

just remember to bail on that ship in a year

 

[madjoki]

Do you guys think that the Redux upgrade is worth it for both Metro 2033 and Last Light? It seems like there isn't much being improved upon in Last Light, not really sure if it's worth the $12.50.

It might be worth if you don't have any of DLCs. Otherwise it's just glorified patch and waste of money when Last Light is good enough.

Whats going on with Dota 2 keys?

 

[Hanzou]

Did the "play" pop up button on the library screen and download manager screen change colors to blue recently? I swear when the new update first launched on beta the play button in library was still black and in the download manager screen it was bright green. Was this changed to blue when it went live to everyone or was there an even more recent patch?

You know that they can currently turn into chests that are 4$ on the store... Right?

I think it's best to treat Last Light as a "goty" edition with the add-ons. About half of them are good.

Use russiabux and get both games for almost the price of one?

you mean the ones whos items aren't worth shit?

if they're so good go to town on them

 

[ANuclearError]

CS:GO was pretty fun this time around, didn't quite get my groove on for it though, but hey, it was fine all things considered really, nothing out of the ordinary for me.

 

[liezryou]

No need to get so aggressive. I am simply speculating based on my experience. If you choose to have your own opinions, fine by me, but just keep in mind my dota 2 backpack is valued at about 2000$ USD.

I like that you're taking initiative. but this is a bit early bro.

 

[maneil99]

Black Mesa might be going up for pre-order soon with possible TF2 promos. They updated their site with images of TF2 character's all over and they're in a folder called "promo" with the images labeled as "DLC"

When was the last game to have TF2 Promos? That game is dying quickly in terms of attention from Valve, the last update was big but the games population is going down, and I think it's linked to CSGO

Cool idea, will probably sign up for it closer to christmas though

Also I know this isn't a popular opinion, but do that many people really like Hotline Miami's soundtrack? I enjoy the gameplay but unless I play my own music I can't stand playing for more than 10 minutes.

Game's daily peak population has been pretty stable for a while. Last game promo was Wolfenstein I believe, with Thi4f and the Bioshock DLC also this year.

What if they get the game themselves thus making your own gift useless?

 

[Volimar]

Geez, maybe wait till at least October?

I forgot to post this but on the day I got scammed. Some guy decided to try his luck with me. Not the time, sir.

Yanderes obviously can't be trusted. Just look at that face.

[KevMan1815]

I thought that was women in yogurt ads?

Or women eating chocolate.

 

[maneil99]

Good question, you can send the game whenever you want post raffle, therefor all you need to do is check the users games before you buy the game you want to give them!

How exactly do you send someone a Steam gift in secret? Some kind of Modbot wizardry?

Personally I think it should be okay to reveal who you are when sending the game but if not you can get a fellow gaffer to proxy send it

It's the visuals that make me unable to play the game for more than 10 minutes!

Women appear to like to eat. I like to eat. I think my odds with them have just increased drastically.

 

[Shadownet]

Since this was my original idea that Maneil hijacked

the way we can solve this is that you all send me the gifts. and I just gift them to the person it suppose to get to. That way, you won't find out till later!

Yes Maneil. I just hijacked your hijack.

It's a matter of musical taste, but I really like the game's ost, especially Paris, Hydrogen, and Horse Steppin.

Awesome but will probably join closer to November. I'm in a bad financial shape (and in a bad state mentally)

Well, chocolate is a natural antidepressant.

We could have a 5 or so day window to send out the gifts to our giftees, and message someone to keep track of who sent who what?

I think it should be cleared up I was not born in 99'

Not to offend you or anything, I'm sure you're trustworthy and all, but if we go that route I'd probably want a mod to vouch for you, just in case.

Yeah of course. Or unless someone can create like a Santabot. Like modbot. But for Santa.

Ohhhh, I'd like to do Secret Santa. I'll join closer to December though, when I know what my money situation will be like. I'd hate to join and then find out that I can't give my person a good game.
