    Hey does anyone here need a headset?

    I got a Logitech G430 a couple of months ago and for gaming it's great. For me, however, I record a podcast and my audio keeps cutting out on the recording. I had a Turtle Beach PX21 before that and that headset served both my needs. I picked up a PX22 today and now I'm looking ot get rid of the G430 I got in March. Not looking for any money or anything, just looking to give it a home. Shoot me a PM if you want it, but I'm only shipping it in the US for cost reasons.

    If you want some info on the G430, here's the Amazon listing.

    Hey just reminding everyone of this. Let me know by Tuesday if you are interested :biggrin:

    That is... super tempting. I have a cheaper, lesser version (G230) which lacks surround sound...

    You know, that would require you to give out your real address ;)

    SHHHH.

    Looks like I won @Florin's giveaway for Costume Quest! Thanks a lot. I've almost picked this game up so many times. It looks like it will be a lot of fun to play with my kids.

    Thanks for running the giveaway

    Iirc your kids are about the same age as mine. The combat is a little tough for my son, cause a lot of stuff is precise timing based. I usually let my son do exploring and then I handle fights.

    Good to know, although his level of exploring is running his character into a wall and then asking me to make his character do something. That's pretty much how we play goat simulator.

    I'm pretty sure that's how you're supposed to play Goat Simulator.

    I'll play split screen with my son and he loves watching my goat get hit head on by a semi-truck. But it's okay, because he's super goat and can't be hurt.

    Vanishing of Ethan Carter is $7.99. If you haven't played it, it's a really neat puzzle/mystery game that is totally worth $8.

    *edit* For a bit more description, it's a gorgeous-looking game where you explore an abandoned town, trying to piece together what happened through a series of rather intelligent puzzles. Also, mindfuckery. Gives off a real Myst vibe. Highly Recommended.

    @Karoz hits hard, and has a long memory for gifts received.

    I received a message from him this morning containing two mysterious codes, which turned out to be for Middle-Earth: Shadows of Mordor, and an upgrade to the GOTY edition!

    Thanks, this will be very appreciated, and hopefully played soon!

    Yes. You get sent links via email, click on them, then choose your platform and it spits out a Steam key if you so choose.

    I think so. I think Steam changed something so that's why they don't do the account linking thing anymore. But FYI - I bought Sunless Sea a week ago and it was definitely a Steam key and it doesn't say anything about being redeemed by Steam key: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/sunlesssea_storefront

    I dunno. I was gifted a humble game a couple days ago and it was a direct link-to-Steam-account, whereas another one I was gifted was a key.

    So I'm not sure it's 100% Steam keys.

    I guess to to further it, here is the Humble page about redeeming Steam games: https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/204008710-Updated-Steam-Key-Redemption

    The main part is:

    *Note: These instructions will only apply to purchases made after January 12, 2015. Any purchases made before said time will still require OAuth. You can find instructions on how to redeem a Steam key with OAuth here.

    The instructions outline how to redeem Steam keys and OAuth is the old link-to-steam-account thing so it looks like they haven't used it since Jan 12.

    HOLY SHIT.

    Games Workshop's Dark Future being adapted for PC

    Dark Future was GW's near-future, cyberpunk road warrior universe (and tabletop game), originally from 1988. It was also absolutely goddamn amazing; the game was really, really good, but the fiction and lore was, for me, probably the best thing they ever did, above even Warhammer fantasy or 40K. It was pretty much my introduction to cyberpunk, and honestly still remains my main point of reference. Man, that whole fiction. So great. NoGo, the PeeZees (policed zones), the Sanctioned Ops taking on the outlaws on the roads, even Oliver North as President of the United States.

    It makes sense that this seems to be riding the coattails of Mad Max: Fury Road a little bit. Dark Future always owed a lot to Mad Max, as does anything with a road warrior motif, but it was anything but a direct rip.

    This trailer looks like they're sticking with what is now a retro-futuristic style, which is absolutely perfect.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zG5DegPZwCY

    STOKED! Time to re-read the Dark Future novels again. <3

    So.

    After a long absence, I'm finally fortunate enough to be financially stable. Basically had to rebuild entire savings after almost going bankrupt, and got a good tax return that made up for moving expenses that we incurred last year. Lots of people were super nice to me during that time and gifted me some stuff.

    A few of you will get some stuff from me here and there, as I feel compelled to repay the generosity I've experienced. I wish I could do more (as always), but also here are these:

    I picture how this went down at GW when this game was first developed:
    Bob is reading the news on his table
    Bill is painting his 5' tall titan.

    Bob:Huh, they're remaking Mad Max....Fury Road....looks pretty good.
    Bill: Really, that's nice, its a good series.
    Bob: Yeah, lots of good tech behind it, good director, I think its the original. Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron. Even the original Toecutter.
    Bill: Damn fine casting.
    Bob:Damn fine casting.
    Bill:Probably going to be a merch and trans media frenzy, games, comic, toys.
    Bob: Yep, heard there's an mmo coming out too. Hope it does better than NCSoft's.
    Bill: Yeah, that was a neat game for a while (focuses on the cockpit with a smaller brush). Fiction was decent enough on that.
    Bob: True, I'm sure we could do better.
    Bill: Well, we did.
    Bob:What?
    Bill: Yeah, that was before your time, the company had all these books and games and media for a similar setting set in the Continental US. Sort of the Games Workshop attempt to cash in.
    Bob: So you're saying we already have an IP setting in our books, with fiction and artwork that could be tapped for a game, to match the setting and fever of what will probably be the greatest movie of the decade?
    Bill:Yeah........*processes the thought*......Light the beacon.

    I really liked The New Order and I really really really really love XCOM.

    Both look pretty nifty. I need halp.
