    You're welcome man! I hope you enjoy it. It's a really fun shooter with some very light RPG elements. Great stuff if you don't expect anything too deep. Fantastic enemy reactions to being shot, too.

    Hate to keep asking but whats the word on From Dust? I heard mix reviews.

    Its a good game obviously ported from consoles.

    You want to bump mouse sensitivity all the way up and use your kb to move around.

    But it's a great game.

    Solid game, terrible PC port seemed to be the consensus.

    So if I already own EYE but I want to do some gifting, if I buy a four pack and send it to my inventory, can I gift them individually or do I have to gift it once, and the recipient gets to gift out the other three copies?

    Cant buy a4pack at all if you own the game

    As the messenger you must be shot. FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

    Everyone is saying EYE is great, but the metacritic review says 60. If I do a contest for EYE will that be acceptable to you, my brothers? Or is there really not that much interest? Hate to gift shitty games.

    You're welcome, I couldn't let you off the hook. That game kinda looks like a 3D Maniac Mansion. Speaking of which, why isn't that and Day of the Tentacle on Steam? I love them old Lucasarts adventure games!

    wait rage has "light RPG elements?" I'm interested if you would like to elaborate

    To be upfront, they're very light. There is questing, where various people give you quests to do (go kill X, return). There are shops for buying weapon upgrades. There's armor. And there are vehicles that can be heavily upgraded and customized. Oh, and you can craft items and such.

    It's really pretty good, but a lot of people were expecting MORE RPG elements, like Borderlands, so it got a lot of backlash. For what it is, it's quite good, I think.

    I've actually never played Borderlands. Seemed cool? Not sure.

    Edit: I've played a bit of it, but never have sat down and went through the campaign.

    ok. I knew I remembered people saying it wasn't as heavily like borderlands so the rpg comment threw me a bit. Don't worry I'm still intrigued by the game.

    Oh, and if anyone would be willing to trade Valve coupons, or other crappy coupons, I'd love to get that achievement for today.

    I sure will! Might be my next RTS after I finish Age of Empires 3. I also did pick up StarCraft 2 during the Amazon BF sale though, so I have decisions to make.

    EYE might be a Steamgifts contest, I don't know just yet. My vacation starts today so I won't be able to keep up with the thread after I leave work, where I do most of my posting. :)

    I want to keep contributing gifts but it will be hard to post an interactive contest and get back to people in a timely matter. Steamgifts is hands off.

    Borderlands is first person Diablo with guns. That's really the best description.

    Randomly generated guns that look all unique and have stats like fire rate, accuracy (how wildly from the reticle it varies), power, reload speed, zoom, and elemental effect (like fire, ice, electricity, or explosions on impact). Gun types like SMGs, revolvers, machine pistols, assault rifles, shot guns, rocket launchers, sniper rifles, etc. plus four classes that have unique class skills like building turrets, going into RAGE PUNCHY mode, or phasing into invisibility and exploding everything around you as you do so.

    If you're a sucker for loot, it's amazing. Up to 4 player co-op. good times.

    Not that I could ever be bothered to do this but technically is there anything stopping you from opening 50 steam accounts and getting all the 'free' steam achievements in the hopes you win a game to trade to your real account?

    I think you need to have a game to activate before its counted as a real steam account? Thats why people were buying the HIB for 1 cent and doing it.

    And only trusted accounts are allowed to trade. Not sure about gifts though. Trusted accounts are accounts that owns a legitimate purchased game for 90 days. If you create an new account you can't trade for 90 days.

    quote from steam forums:
    Why aren’t some of my gifts tradable?

    Only gifts that are purchased on trusted accounts can be traded immediately; otherwise there is a 90-day cool down before the gift can be traded. Any account that has made any valid purchase from the Steam Store more than 90 days ago is considered trusted. This is to ensure that all games traded are valuable, and help prevent fraudulent purchases for the purpose of trades.
    This means if you do win something you have to wait 90 days before you can gift it to your main account. Of course no one is stopping you to use the account when you win the motherload.

    did they ever fix the graphics glitches. Probably to high for me, but getting it is still in the very back of my mind, so knowing if the graphics glitches were solved would help.
