[Steam] thread gifting, like drunk Twister, doesn't really have a firm set of rules.

    Just when I thought the Steam thread was a safe place where I could go to not be reminded of Bob Hoskins' recent death, you guys have to go and bring up Super Mario Bros.

    Contests ENDED!

    And the winners are:

    @Kristmas Kthulhu, for Dark Souls II, where you will surely die a thousand amazing deaths before feeling like you accomplished anything.

    and

    @Megaman001, for DayZ, where you will surely die a thousand amazing deaths before feeling like you accomplished anything.

    Congrats to you two, and thanks for trying everyone else. Now, go out and buy DayZ so you can die with me!

    Shit, that's fantastic. Thank you so much!

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    This Star Wars bundle is super tempting, even though I already own half the stuff on cds. My question is what's wrong with the Force Unleashed games? I thought most people generally liked them, but they have pretty terrible metascores. As in they would be the lowest scoring things in my library if I got them. Did they just get a terrible port or something? Also, as fantastic as I've heard Republic Commando to be, does it really hold up 10 years later if you are going into it without having played it when it first came out?

    This talk about Star Wars packs makes me remember that my copy of Star Wars Racer stopped working when I moved to W7. And now I'm sad.

    It's a crime that nobody has ported SWRacer yet, is what it is. I miss that game.

    Mind you, if you're only going to play one, that's the one to pick.

    While KOTOR1 was great, I thought KOTOR2 was the better game. The first game did a great job of introducing a starwars RPG game, and it had a great twist. But i thought 2 just blew it away in terms of both story and gameplay.

    Whoo! Hopefully mine is fixed when I try again tonight as well!

    It's still acting dumb. May have been a fluke?

    Y'know, despite my love of KOTOR, and TOR, and The Old Republic Era in general, I never did play the restored ending mod for the second game.

    I should get on that.

    While I agree that the ending seemed rushed, its because it was. LucasArts gave Obsidian a shortened deadline. Obsidian thought they had more time to polish the game, then all of a sudden they find out from LucasArts that they did not have as much time as they thought they had. They had to cut a lot of content to ship it.

    Thanks to @‌jclast for some robotic adventure in the form of PUZZLE BOTS

    and @akajaybay‌ for giving me a reason to go back to Shadowrun after I switched computers and then forgot what was going on in the plot with some DRAGONFALL. I will be sure to make the Shadows Run and the Dragons Fall. It's the least I could do after, you know, playing a major part in the end of the world and the advent of the Bunn-pocalypse. Rabb-ocalypse?

    Oh geez, I finally realized I should probably just add some funds to my steam wallet so I don't freak out my card with a bunch of small transactions and right there on the account details page they hit you with a total spent in Steam number. Ouch. And a game transactions total spent which must in my case mean stuff bought in TF2. Double Ouch.

    I'm actually free tonight! But not until 7 PM PST/10 PM EST.

    Serious Sam Classics: Revolution!?!?! What is this thing?

    Apparently it's Serious Sam the first and second encounter with stuff added in and it works properly on 64 systems! My god it's free for folks that own but have trouble playing the originals?!?!?! But wait a minute what if I just own the HD versions, then to hell with you! This alpha update of an updated version has split screen couch coop and it's five bucks so buy it you bum!

    Not exactly sure what the hell this thing is but I'd be up for some co-oping if anyone was ever interested, or just the regular hd versions. I loves me some serious sam and seeing this in my library with no talk about it scared me.
