Can confirm that even if it says Steamworks, your pocket lint will not activate on Steam.

I envy you. It annoys me, and allows my barely-beneath-the-surface contempt for humanity to surface. It's hard enough already to stave off my homocidal impulses.

That's not what I asked. I wanted to know if it requires steam.

If I buy this bundle, will I be able to give away the games I already have (on Xbox)?
Chumps! It's much cheaper at fraudulentkeys.ru

I do hope they stick with the 12 hour flash sales. Even better would be 24 hour flash sales

You guys crack me up.

Speaking of the same shit over and over and over again are the kids still going on about Arma II/DayZ these days or have they moved on to something else?

Gone for a couple of months or so and I feel old and out of the loop with what the kids are playing these days.

Ironically, we're playing a lot of THQ titles these days.

The DayZ hype has died down a little. Plus a lot of people are now waiting for the standalone. I've been playing a little WarZ personally. Similar but not the same.

Bioshock 2 was NOT developed by Irrational Boston.
(The then brand new) 2K Marin made it, so that was already expected to NOT be as AMAZING as Irrational Boston's awesome Bioshock 1.

EDIT:
We expect a lot out of Irrational Boston, given their history (System Shock 2, Bioshock 1 & Freedom Force series) and Ken Levine's additional history (Looking Glass).

Pretty sure it has been cheaper elsewhere. GamersGate and GOG had it for cheaper, I THINK.

Sweet, I remember hearing that would happen. Glad it finally did.

TI-89s were not allowed in any of my math classes, from calculus to DiffEq. I think 2 out of my three physics classes allowed them...

For those that asked if the OMD2 DLC is worth it.. I can say that the Are We Yeti DLC is worth buying for the missle launcher alone. That thing is the best weapon in the game, incredibly powerful and has a high chance to stun any enemy with the primary attack. Combined with the mana trinket, you're unstoppable. Might make the game too easy for some, but it's fun to play with. I think my favorite DLC traps are the Web Spinner and Dart Spitter. The new levels from each DLC aren't anything special, but they're a nice addition to the game. I would recommend getting them all, but if you only get one I'd go for Are We Yeti. They're all currently 75% off (including the base/complete game). Just finished playing through the DLC with Seraphym.

I don't need game #32 from the $10 Hundred-Game-Megabundle. Who wants to buy it for $9?

I haven't had any math in awhile, but I also remember them being prohibited, as they were a little too powerful. 89s can run derivatives/integrals, right?

Am I the only one who hates how Steam automatically acts like you're going to install a game when you activate a key? I wish you could turn that off, it's annoying.

Yep. And partial fraction expansions. Its symbolic package is pretty darn good. (the reason I got a TI-92, despite being a dyed-in-the-wool HP & RPN calculator fan).

Simple click to cancel on the screen after activating. I'm sure we'd have the reverse complain if it was the other way. I just wish steam adding a throttling option to downloading, since it tends to choke bandwidth like nothing else.

After activating...
When it says it's ready to install and shows the amount of GB it takes up, I just hit cancel.
No fuss, no muss, & no must.

I just wish it was a little simpler instead of saying "INSTALL NOW". Like.. Desura.

Very true though. If it didn't I'd be like "wai duz it not say instal now!??"

You're not the only one.

It's an extra click, and not one that you can just spam click. For a few games, it's not really an issue, but when you're activating 10+ keys in succession....

It's not that bad and I rather they asked when I activate the key then have to go find it in the library and click install. Easier just to hit cancel even when activating a lot of keys. I'm more annoyed at how Steam shits itself when you activate a key.

Especially when you grabbed a key off some post and are all like 'Crap is this going to work or did someone get to it first?'

^ This.

I wish I could add keys to my inventory as well. Even if it was a non-tradable inventory.
