Alas, it was not to be. And it made me angry all over again at the loss of progress.
....why did that happen?

I had the same thing happen to me when I first got it for free from a Ubisoft fuck up.
I suspect it was because I was playing it back in July / August when their uPlay service was shitting the bed like a toddler having thai food. And after one Saturday spent playing it, I guess the service was down when it was syncing to the cloud. So instead of saving all the progress for the day, it was lost.
Yes.
I sent one to you, I lied because I learned a long time ago that people aren't dead inside like me and can't stomach that stuff.
Lot of near Halloween births in this forum. Lol. Happy b-day (or My condolences [depending on the age counter]). My sympathy’s for tomorrow morning:)
Classy! Thank you for this
Not the analogy I needed to read while my wife feeds our toddler Thai food...

Great find, Thanks.
Been wondering if it was worth buying, $5 makes that a hard thing to resist. Anyone have any yea or nay comments about The Darkness II?
Just a reminder: Popcap is giving away Plants vs Zombies for free (although it's digital distribution-less, as far as I can tell) Use the code "PEAH8R."

I think I'll have to do a Let's Play of this at some point.

Yea that was me, there is another Kafka around though. I should start signing off with Au on my steam gifts.

(AKA TestSubjec23's Guns of Icarus Online Giveaway)
Prize: Guns of Icarus Online (2 3 copies)
Anyway, since The Difference Engine, I fondly watched as Steampunk developed its own literary niche.
I was pleased by its momentum as the first self-consciously Steampunk authors started producing novels and games set in such rich worlds.
I was then wary as Steampunk kept gaining popularity and ubiquity, soon shedding the confined interest of the Cyberpunk and Historical Fiction movements that birthed it.
And later I was horrified as this otherwise-wonderful setting and style melted into the goth fashion movement, only to splash over into mainstream pop culture in vast gouts of cloying, obnoxious trendiness.
Steampunk is everywhere these days, bandied about like any other cheap infantile buzzword. We have Steampunk children's shows, and shitty Steampunk props being sold at dollar stores. Ridiculous "Steampunk" versions of any/all other works of fiction or costume ideas crop up like weeds in a garden ("OMG Steampunk Batman! Steampunk Star Wars, you guys! Steampunk Barbie!"). And any jackass with some aviator goggles and gears glued to his tailcoat claims to be "a Steampunk".
It has, in short, gone from a favourite to a fuck-no.
And yet, I find myself still drawn to the settings, still compelled by the worlds, still wanting to fly an airship, and blow the shit out of other airships... hence Guns of Icarus Online.
The Contest:

It was a tough call, but I've picked our winners. Turns out I have three copies to gift, so they go to:
@kaliyama
This is apparently old news, but since I hide in my house like a hermit and don't watch E-Talk or anything, I'm not up on my Bieber. All I can say is, oh god the horror.
@HuntingNoob
Flavor... is that you?
@Lochiel
Pretty sure this guy's being intentionally facetious, but the juxtaposition of his well-coiffed facial hair and that stock gun and terrible goggles is still good for some lulz.
Honorable mention to @What Is Schwa? for this Etsy monstrosity:
If I had another copy to give, it'd be yours. (*)
So... now I feel a little bad for making fun of people. Oh well.

It's a lot of fun.
There are some cons, mainly that it's really short and doesn't really offer much variety, but it's more than worth $5 if you want some dumb, gory fun.
