Magus`The fun has been DOUBLED!Registered Userregular
So I'm finally totally stuck in Psychonauts. I'm in what I assume is the well known 'Milkman' level and I've just gained access to the sewers. I have a feeling I need to somehow gain access to a nearby telephone pole, but so far I can't figure it out.
... man I sure hope that -
I wasn't expected to use the Crow Feather so they think I'm a bird and don't care if I get on the pole. That would be.. a leap.
Hope that's better, guess it really isn't vague enough.
Oh god, didn't realize that Jeor Mormont was voicing Death in #2, so awesome.
I think you might be getting things mixed up there. The guy who played Jeor Mormont was in an ad for Darksiders II. It looks like the voice of Death is Michael Wincott.
So Kung Fu Strike is out. 3D beat 'em up with Street Fighter IV-inspired-looking visuals. Seems like it could be a hoot but sadly no demo.
Incidentally, Dr. Mario Kart/Shane200 is a member of the main Penny Arcade group. I suggest he be kicked. I have admin rights on Adventure Team but not the big group or I would do it myself.
While I was picking up Precipice of Darkness 3, I also received the Cthulhu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII double pack. Since I own both of these already, and I'm not very good at contests, the first person to pm me will get both of these very amazing games.
From the now closed Steam sale thread, I would like to tip my top hat to a classy gent by the name of ogcam777 for gifting me Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death! /tip

Now that I have a bit of free time, I need to thank @vagrant_winds for recettear, cave story, fortune summoners, and chantelise. I am greatly enjoying all of these games. Although now I am in the middle of a ton of games and have no idea what to play when I have the time.
I know it's been like seven years and we're in a post-Steam world now (or intra-Steam, whatever), but did they ever get rid of the godawful DRM that X3 Reunion was stuck with at release?
Probably answered, but new page and don't wanna back track. Being lazy tonight. Yes, starforce was patched out of the game a LONG time ago.
Edit: Wow, that was lazy. Was right under the post I was quoting. Oh well. Lazy.

If I remember right, you'll get the right tool to access the telephone poles later.
beat max payne 3. god that last fight... whatever, it's done. the ending sequence was cool. a fitting bookend to the series.
went back to F.E.A.R. after someone mentioned fthreeear and needing a co-op partner. I'm on interval 8 after discovering that the game saves is a stupid place, i realized i didn't have the save backed up so i kind of level skipped until i caught up to where i was. replayed a little bit over because i didn't want to accidentally skip parts i hadn't done. shotgun scissor kicking feels good.
Hey, guys. thejadefalcon here, one of the mods on SteamGifts. I got pointed here by a support ticket and decided to sign up, answer any of your questions you may have, just generally try to be involved in the community surrounding SG (though I probably come off more like that old whiffy grandpa who tries to be in with the hip young crowd).
I signed up, so I can help answer any questions about that or anything else you might be curious about.
I've already put in a support ticket about this, but since you're here I'll take advantage of your presence and my impatience by asking if it's acceptable to create group giveaways for legitimate copies of Dead Island and Bulletstorm, or if there's some sort of blanket ban on any giveaways for those titles.
Right, now that all the steam sale hullabaloo is over would someone kindly send me an invite to the PAGT group? I've nothing against gift sniping but I'd much rather letting everyone have a fair chance at getting gifts as opposed to only those on my friend list during the next sale.

Thanks for stopping by, as well.
I've replied to your ticket. Giftable copies are a-okay (just mention it in the giveaway to be safe). The only giveaways for exploited games we'll delete are for keys and even those are fine as long as you submit proof of purchase along with the giveaway.

have people been exploiting keys for those games or something?
Actually I do have a question: We oftentimes make group giveaways using either of two by invite steam groups associated with the community. The problem is both of those groups at one point or another have allowed some unscrupulous people in who only seem to show up during steam sales ever since word got out about our runaway gifting addictions in this community. Oftentimes it's impossible to catch these people until they end up winning a steamgifts contest.
Most people here who make giveaways that way often include text in the description referring to them being able to prove that the winner is an active member of the community or they will have a mod reroll the contest. Is that enough protection for the giver or do they need to be more specific in their forewarning and what would we need to provide to you guys to prove that they where actually in violation to our rules?
Hope that's better, guess it really isn't vague enough.
I'm just playing spoiler police tonight
It is pretty amazing and i always sell the game on that. "Oh Darksiders? Best Zelda game and it has the most amazing end line".
When that happened my first reaction "oh shit yeah!" then "damn you credits!!!!"
Atleast you don't have to wait years for the sequel like those of us who played it day one and finished it in the same week. I would've been pissed were it not for the fact that it was so much awesome.
This is me. My sister commented at the time, that she could not remember the last time I consumed a game as quickly as I did.
There's no real point in replaying it, is there (other than Darksiders being a wonderful game)? I haven't really been following the development in Darksiders 2.

I can't remember the specifics of either game, but the usual reason a game gets put on our exploited list is because some site accidentally leaked a few billion keys, making any keys untrustworthy, since they could be removed from the winner's account at any point as we have no way of proving their legitimacy.
And yeah, if a giveaway is for a specific community, you're fully within your rights to get it rerolled if someone somehow snuck in there without being an active member. That sort of thing doesn't even really need to have permission asked for extraneous rules. Just mention in the descriptions that you'll ask for a reroll if they're not an active member of the community. That sometimes discourages them from entering in the first place. Sometimes.

First off, I'll say that this guy?
PA forumer @Dr Mario Kart (Steam ID Shane200) Has entered and won a number of giveaways (especially during the previous sale). He took most of the items that he won and put them up as steamgift giveaways to the public after being told here that it was heavily frowned upon.
I am honestly a little upset as one of the few giveaways I did during the Summer Sale went to a scumbag instead of a deserving member of the community.
He currently has a month's suspension for regifting and not activating his wins. I'm aware this is a semi-controversial rule sometimes, which was partly why I signed up, so I can help answer any questions about that or anything else you might be curious about.
Get the hell out of here and get back to judging the creative writing competition.

Apparently 4 of the 5 campaigns from L4D1 were imported into L4D2. If that's the case, why would I bother playing L4D1?
the only reason would be if you don't like the new specials. (or, I guess to play some of the custom maps that people made)
also, no mercy was ported over a while ago, so all of the official l4d1 levels are in l4d2 now..

The only thing missing from L4D2 is that lighthouse survival map. Survival is awful, though, so no big loss.

And speaking of giveaways, just over 12 hours left for my first batch:
Apparently 4 of the 5 campaigns from L4D1 were imported into L4D2. If that's the case, why would I bother playing L4D1?
For the vanilla maps with the original Specials. The same campaign can be a completely different experience on L4D2.
This was something I was wondering as well, since I own L4D1 but not L4D2, and didn't know if I should bother playing through the campaigns from the first one or waiting until I could pick up the second and just going through them all that way.

I'd say give them a go on the first one. Personally, I prefer No Mercy on L4D1 but Blood Harvest on 2. It's all opinion, to be honest, though I think more and more players are moving to L4D2 nowadays.

I reported Shane200 on Steamgifts before I caught up to this post. Mine was the first one he won and regifted. I figured it was a one time thing and being a member of our community he'd straighten up.

Well, if there is one thing I really, really like doing it's... ok, if there are two things I really, really like doing, one of them is shooting zombies, so if the worst case scenario is having to play them twice than I suppose that's just fine with me.
So I think I downloaded FEAR 1 in record time. Under 5 minutes for both it and Burnout Paradise. I am still stunned. And yes, I started them both up to make sure they weren't just downloaded incorrectly, missing huge chunks or anything.
You need to send more constructers at your star base to add modules. If you send a fleet of constructors, you can build multiple modules at once. If you have a fleet of constructors and use the build command (after double clicking the fleet to bring it up) you will be able to build the starbase and multiple modules at once.
@anoffday First thing you should do is take your flagship and double click it to bring up the commands for it. Most will be greyed out but the ones you want to pay attention to are auto explore and auto examine (i think).
You want your flagship set to auto examine, this will make it fly around in your empire's range and examine any anomolies you find. This nets you random bits of gold and random bonuses to your empire.
Auto explore on the other hand will set any vessel with this command to exploring the range of your empire and visiting any blank spots in the map. Scouts which have already stripped down to just and engine and a hull are good for this, maybe some sensors and a range expansion. Scouting is important to the mid game when you have to research better colonization techniques to take the worlds around you. Its prevents you from researching heavy gravity colonization when there are 5 water worlds around you.
My advice
First turn, open up the economy screen and turn your economy to 100% output, the game starts you at 70%. This stars you operating in the yellow but you start with 2000 credits so big woop.
You also want to turn down the military slider after you pop a scout, don't pop a construction unit unless there's a resource close by or a good world to colonize that's close to your homeworld.
Depending on how good your race's culture is, you may want to ignore planets with quality < 10 near your star system and jump for better ones further out. Especially if there's a better planet you can colonize right away. These weaker planets can be blasted with influence and converted to your glorious rule in the mid and late game.
don't build colonies faster than your economy can support them.
The default ships are good to a point but research into miniaturization and building miniaturizing achievements will let you get more into the same hull (while making it more expensive). Don't be afraid to jump into ship building and turn out a little hellion.
Clash of the Gods is a good map mode to play around in without research holding you down.
