BIT.TRIP RUNNER
Metro 2033
GT Legends (dunno if it's one of those infamous polish CD keys, so use at your own risk)
DOTA 2 (lulz)
Trine
Toy Soldiers

Those are still up for grabs, so if someone's still interested PM me!
I mean, come on, there's Metro 2033! How many CAGers could possibly have it already??

Did Steam totally die?

(And it's back.)

For those interested on the Groupees Rock for meals bundle, I just bought it. The stars are Fifty Dollar Dinasty and The Mothership, IMHO. All the bands are great... but those two are the stars

For those that were considering Deadlight (from the Amazon bundle for a cheaper price than what it is on Steam right now), the game is decent but not really worth the asking price. I sat down to play it and beat it in three hours with nearly every achievement in the game (sans beating it in Nightmare mode). The game played a little like Shadow Complex but without any upgrades to weapons or development to the main character. The story was a little boring and predictable, puzzles were not in the least bit challenging, and it had a number of graphical and sound issues that prevented it from running very well on my mid-high end machine. I'm sure if the latter were fixed, I would have enjoyed it even a tad more. The backgrounds were really detailed and well done but were overshadowed by the fact that the video customization was basically nil. In short, this game really felt messy and haphazardly put together. Its amazing it even passed Microsoft's QA.

I would recommend it for those that are looking to play a 2D Zombie Shooter that focuses more on platforming than combat. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is expecting a polished, engaging game that is anything more than an excuse to cross another game off a backlog list.

Overall, I would give it a 3/10. It was well worth the dollar I paid for it but I wouldn't recommend it for anything more than that.

All keys gone except the one for DOTA 2... my preciousssssss...

I finally got Sleeping Dogs to work thanks to the benchmark suggested by ashes (didn't even noticed it was included in the game), and was able to turn ambient occlusion and motion blur up a notch... guess what, the game automatically took my integrated HD4000 as the default GPU, so I had to force GT650 output through the NVIDIA control panel. I had the very same problem with Magicka.
Time to throw it again into my backlog, then...

Now that is about the cheapest cheap ass gamer you can possibly be. Keeping yourself safe from repetitive motion injuries is a plus. Well done.

With Aero, V-Sync On: With Aero, V-Sync off: Without Aero, V-Sync On: Without Aero, V-Sync Off: As you can see, there is a marked improvement with Aero turned off, but in my case, only when V-Sync is turned off.

Actually, don't you get better performance with Aero turned on and V-Sync off rather than both turned off? lol

& yeah, Nightmare In North Point was not fun. Still, Sleeping Dogs was my personal favorite game of the year.

You could always spam the Steam community forums for every game with threads titled 'Trading DOTA 2 for this game!'.

Dota 2 can now be sold on the market! And there is a newlisting on the market for games.... So expect to be able to sell games on your inventory this year

Is anyone interested in APB Reloaded? Really fun team based open-world crime TPS. F2P, definitely not P2W (pay to win). The game seriously has the best customization in any game ever. Ever.

I've got a code for 3 free days of premium that I'll give to the first person who actually would play the game. Premium just means you get boosted cash and experience (towards equipment unlocks), really. Nice if you're starting up and learning, but not really necessary once you know what you're doing. I think the code should work for anyone.

PM me if you're interested!

Never heard this either, but I know all about tweaks and customization.

New BL2 shift code good for 5 keys: KJW3B-BT9WC-9K6BB-BTTJ3-WTX99

Well they do both take place in Hong Kong. Even though ones in the future, it makes sense they'd look similar.

Who's down for some first-world problems with all those Paradox keys?

Sung in Crazy Earl's voice.

I think the Aero theme affecting your FPS is only an issue with low-end computers and laptops. I believe the concern is for paged graphics memory and RAM, so if you've got a DDR3/5, 1GB or higher GPU, you shouldn't notice much of a difference.

It would seem that all but the big pack are live as of now.

Nice deals.

All I'm really looking for out of that stuff is CKII (Kind of more interested in the mods, so I don't even really care about the DLC).

If anyone is planning to get a pack and doesn't need CKII, I would gladly buy it off you.
