I imagine this will mainly be filled with walkthroughs but I can see it being useful as a troubleshooting/modding section too.

Might be cool if people with stuff in other places transfer it over.

My first thought was, "Valve now competing with (and going to absolutely crush) Gamefaqs"

Okay, two things.

One, Put me in for $20 for the initial challenge.

Second, could I get an invite to the PA G&T Adventure Team group? I'm the normal PA Steam group but never got into the scond one.

And I lied.
Thirdly, so does someone want to lay down a Nickleback (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit) Rocksmith challenge? I can't stand those guys and I do own Rocksmith. I would have to find a way to record video however if someone wants it posted somewhere. Or I could figure out how to live stream it with a mic so you could hear my curse and swear. Also, watch how terribly I play their songs.

Is it all chords?

Looking at youtube of someone playing them in Rocksmith, one of the songs is mostly chords. There is some riffing going on though. Not a whole lot though.

Ok so these donations are for PA forumer anoffday to complete an LP of Bad Rats before the start of the Steam Winter Sale on 12/20. The Donations will go to Child's Play at the completion.

Donations will be accepted up until the start of the Steam Holiday Sale

If you all raise, let's give you a challenge, $1,225 dollars then I will LP something of your choosing from my Steam library. If someone is willing to gift me something (I am kinda broke) and the community wants me to LP that, then I will begrudgingly accept the gift.

SmokeStacks wrote: »

Shit, If it hits $1,500 I'll LP Bad Rats and I'll even enjoy it.

Ruiner999 wrote: »

I don't have a means to donate currently, but I'll tell you something I will do. For a paltry donation of $10 to this cause, I'll write a song complete with lyrics, vocals, and a bitching solo to be the theme of this horrible game's playing. All songs will be offered up for free download on Soundcloud in WAV, FLAC, and MP3 so you can hear how awful I am.

InkSplat wrote: »

If someone can think of something for me to do at $2k, I'm willing to offer myself up. I'm not a forum celeb or anything, but offer is on the table! :P

milski wrote: »

I'll also volunteer my services for a let's play or (most) anything else if we can reach 2k, and put me in for $15 because I hate myself love you guys hate myself.

Rorus Raz wrote: »

My brother has agreed to do an LP with me, separate from my solo..."experience", if you can all raise $2,500.

Ongoing Goals

Ruiner999 wrote: »

Also, for paltrier donations of $5 to this cause, I'll write you your own theme song, replete with "[Blank] is the best!" and gang vocals.  All songs will be offered up for free download on Soundcloud in WAV, FLAC, and MP3 so you can hear how awful I am.

So, here comes the next big thing. Do we have any other musicians? I'm thinking for an increasing donation, we could team up and record a glorious Steam thread ode to whoever with full recorded drums, bass, and guitar(provided by me). PM me or message me on Steam, name's BornToHula. Literary and musical hacks need not apply.

Or add another stretch goal: some form of steam thread anthem for $3000. I'm thinking "feed the world" with added spite gifting.

Ruiner999 wrote: »

There we go! That's an idea to strive for. Simac has nailed the best idea I've seen so far.

So I HAD planned on going gift crazy this winter sale because i missed the secret Santa sign ups. But I got layed off about an hour ago, so now Ill be missing the sale all together. Hopefully the Newell will forgive me.

Damn that sucks. What happened?

Normal lay off stuff, company wasn't making enough money as a whole so they made a 10% reduction in their workforce.

EvilMonkey

So this charity stuff. Do I mail my $1 to Happy Dude? Did I miss something new in the OP regarding this?

striderjg

Since rocksmith has come up, quick question for anyone that might know as I've been considering grabbing it in the future. Would it be able to cope with a acoustic electric with a passive under bridge pickup?

So the new Devil May Cry game is up for pre-order on Gamestop's website and I learned three things; first it's coming out on PC, second it's out on January 25th and third, it's Steamworks! Is Capcom going to make all of their games Steamworks now?

What could be done at a higher marker? A live drinking game of something? drink when you fail at X? nothing like that xcom (lose a guy take a shot) where that guy almost died on cam after drinking a bottle of malibu.

from the flavor

I could subject myself to something for the community, as long as it isnt suffering. Maybe build something terrible in minecraft and I put the server back up for a while?

Big Classy

Awww, we didn't hit the $2500 mark. I am disappoint.

Edit: Someone should really think about paying $44 in the next 10 minutes.

What's at $2200?

Big Classy

Not a lot really. Round numbers rock though.

vegeta_666

I posted just before you. We hit the $2500 mark.

I apologise to the entire community for earlier suggesting that Far Cry 3 was in any way similar to Spec Ops: The Line. Far Cry was kind of crazy fun but the story was absolutely mind-numbingly catastrophically and quite efficiently dumb as all hell. Far Cry 3 is a '5 year old in the jungle with a flamethrower' simulator, Spec Ops is emotional, possibly ground breaking and awesome.

But in cheerier news I actually finished another game from my backlog, so what now?

Wait did I miss another goal somewhere?

I am so confused right now with the current tally/ stretch goals.

Big Classy

Ruiner99 said he would get together with others and perform a song to steam thread if we hit $3500.

well up to this point all the goals have been met and the tally is correct unless someone put up a $3500 goal I missed.

Elderlycrawfish

The song at $3500, OK yeah that's what I forgot.
