GetGames is having an Up to 75% off Ubisoft Shooters Sale...

North America is disallowed from that and all their Ubisoft sales just FYI.

New Bundle Stars Extreme Sims Bundle - 8 steam games for $3.92

1. Ship Simulator Extremes
2. Lunar Flight
3. Dogfight 1942
4. Bridge It (Plus)
5. Airport Simulator 2014
6. Skyscraper Simulator
7. Agricultural Simulator: Historical Farming
8. Woodcutter Simulator 2013 Gold Edition

Blink Bundle unlocked the first bonus game I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream.

I already posted some thoughts/questions about the Bundlestars stuff in that thread, but I do want to say that I'm pretty excited that Blink Bundle has come up with another game I do not own. It looks fairly old, but it might be decent. I'm also glad that's not the upper tier bonus.

 

[N3UROP0D]

I've been waiting for Blood Dragon to hit 0% off

Don't think of it as 0% off, think of it as 100% on.

 

[eulogywerd21]

From those of you who've done key drops/giveaways, what is the best approach?

I've got about 50 codes I'm looking to integrate into the community.

 

[Neuro5i5]

North America is disallowed from that and all their Ubisoft sales just FYI.

I hear there's a McDonalds hostel in London that is taking in lonely Muricans.

 

[spoderman]

Most people give them to me.

 

[Foxhack]

Uh, I thought the sale started on the 31st, and ended this morning. The discounts were there for me, but games were 50% off.

 

[eulogywerd21]

Most people give them to me.

Hence the thread title...

So I guess I'll do a "quote request" sort of deal.

Only one rule. Don't give them to spoder

 

[Neuro5i5]

Uh, I thought the sale was yesterday, ending this morning. The discounts were there for me, but games were 50% off.

Really, I just got the email a few minutes ago. That's it, I'm changing my GetGames bookmark to just GG. At this point, I don't think it will matter if I get them confused.

 

[spoderman]

Hence the thread title...

So I guess I'll do a "quote request" sort of deal.

Neuro's format seems to be working pretty well.

Minimum post requirement, and minimum join date. I think his is usually 50 posts and Nov 2013?

 

[fullmetal]

So "keys" is the new code word for herpes?

Got it.

 

[tebowdragon15]

no 2 rules one urs notheer is spanking by snakey bro and jenna haze and aj lee neuro gf

 

[taylort3]

That's probably best. You shouldn't get (many ) pm's from people, and you might want to piece it out over a few posts rather than try to give out more than 10 at a time.

 

[Asmith906]

First time doing the four in february. My first game will be tales of xillia. Bought it last year should probably play it.

 

[warreni]

I'd purchase your bundle.

You two get a room!

From those of you who've done key drops/giveaways, what is the best approach?

I've got about 50 codes I'm looking to integrate into the community.

Well, I do drops of 3-5 codes at a time and just tell folks what I have and let them PM, crossing the games off as I give them out. It seems to work pretty well. If you're wanting to get rid of them in several large batches you may want to try an alternative approach.

Most people give them to me.

Don't listen to him! It's a trick.

 

[Motoki]

Bought it last year should probably play it.

I can probably say that for like 700 games. Notice no yellow font here either.

 

[Solid-Snake-Eyes]

Hence the thread title...

So I guess I'll do a "quote request" sort of deal.

The best way I've seen is to have the people quote what they want and then you PM the first quoter his key.

 

[tebowdragon15]

um i stil havel ots of games tht i havent add to steam wondder how long till it will be added!!!! 

 

[hal]

I'm pretty excited to see SNK release Metal Slug 3 and at a reasonable price ($5.99 on sale). I wish they'd do some bundles of old NeoGeo games kinda the way SEGA did with the MegaDrive stuff. 

 

[eulogywerd21]

The best way I've seen is to have the people quote what they want and then you PM the first quoter his key.

I guess this is probably what I'll do after I finish eating this delicious fried rice.

Don't anybody get their hopes too high up. These are mostly left over bundle keys and other shit.

 

[Solid-Snake-Eyes]

I love fried rice, and shitty bundle games that have cards.

 

[Motiv]

... and once you've had some practice against a hopeless amateur you might be able to take on the reigning BGCQ champion.

*flexes*

And another challenger throws his hat into the ring...

Do other BGCQ members know about this title?

 

[Preedatore]

Beer and pool bgcq night could be good.

Also: I'll take arma tactics, eulogy. Thanks!

These will all come with complimentary pics of my penis :lol: Seriously

*Dropped remaining codes on Steam trading board*

I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere but I can't see it =/

[Too Damn High]

And if no one asks for a code by the time I get the next batch ready, I'll just dump it in the open, for the lurkers... (don't let them win)

No, please don't do that.

 

[hal]

Thomas Was Alone is terrific... someone should grab that.

You're a monster

 

[Neuro5i5]

Thanks for Alien: Isolation!

 

[eulogywerd21]

*Looks at his own join date and weeps quietly* =/

Everyone with an account and avatar pic is welcome to a code, as far as I'm concerned.

"Guys, if no one adopts these kittens I'm going to dump them on the freeway"

You're a monster

Red asphalt, baby.

Edit: Whenever I give away a code, I'll just edit the original list with a new game.

 

[MinDRIoT]

These will all come with complimentary pics of my penis :lol: Seriously

Dungeons: the Dark Lord
Dear Esther
Capsized
Thomas Was Alone

Intrusion 2

Burnout Paradise tUB
Medal of Honor

[CarnivalMadness]

Thanks for Thomas Was Alone and the generous giveaway, eulogy.  May you play tiny tennis with Arnold in your dreams tonight.

 

[imac2much]

Thanks for the heads up on "I have no mouth" for Blink. I wouldn't even have bothered to check before I saw the post here on CAG.

IHNMAIMS is great. It's ancient, but it's an adventure game from the good old days and plays as such - albeit with very dark and twisted subject matter. I first tried it out a couple years ago and loved it. I was glad when it got added to Steam, and even happier when I scored a key for 10 cents soon thereafter.

Yeah, I remember bits and pieces of this game, and just how dark and depressing the overall tone was. I'm not sure if I'm willing to play through it now but... free is free, and it's a good (old) game.

 

[taylort3]

Is Ironclads: Anthology up for grabs?

Edit: wait now, I'm confused. Do you want a pm or quote?

Thanks for Ironclads!

 

[Motoki]

I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere but I can't see it =/

Right. I forgot some people might like to non-ironically cut virtual wood.

 

[iSerra]

I am a fan of SNK games, I would love to see NeoGeo Battle Coliseum or Samurai Spirits Sen on steam.

Capcom vs. SNK 3 anyone?

[eulogywerd21]

PM sent. Actually, I'm going to change the post so it's just a pm me deal. Easier to reply to.

 

[pasports31]

PM for the codes below:

Dungeons: the Dark Lord
Dear Esther
Capsized

Burnout Paradise tUB
Medal of Honor

intrustion 2 pleeze if nobody else asked for it yet

 

[Wa1terSobchak]

One of these days I need to track a German down and try to find out what the non-ironic appeal of these ridiculous, dry, mundane simulator games is.

<Arnuld> To crush the cornstalks, see them fall before you, and to hear the lamentations of the geese who wanted to eat them</Arnuld>

 

[iSerra]

You get a steam key plus Android and DRM free version if you purchase 10,000,000 directly from here.

Googled, found some info http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/188054/

I don't know how I feel about this article. I rather enjoy playing Simulation games and I am not in either of the age groups of "8-12" or "35+".

I can't really count myself towards the "hardcore" simulation fan base, since I don't even know how to operate the vehicles in half of the simulation games I own. But I have to admit I really do enjoy straight-forward simulation games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 where you don't need a PhD to operate the vehicle. Unlike ProTrain Perfect 2, where I have yet to figure out what the hell I am doing. Although I can get the train moving I have no idea how to control the train's speed or anything else for that matter. If anyone one enjoys conducting trains, I would definitely recommend sticking to Train Simulator 2014 or Microsoft Train Simulator.

My all time favorite Simulator would be Flight Simulator. I've pretty much played every Flight Simulator and X-Plane, since my father is a huge Flight simulator enthusiast (to the point that he has already built a few real life-sized cockpits of a B737 and owns every DLC ever created). I think I've invested the most time learning how to properly fly a B737, B757, B767, B747, and A340 since my father gifted me a few airplanes that cost ~$60 which don't allow any shortcut keys to be used for their operation. I remember I spent an hour pressing every button I could find in the cockpit of my Boeing 737-800 Lufthansa, and after that hour the only thing I knew how to use was the windshield wipers and seatbelt sign.. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but once you get a swing of things it actually becomes quite entertaining!

Here are some of my recent purchases as far as simulators are concerned:

• ProTrain Perfect 2
• Polizei 2013 Gold Edition
• Rettungswagen-Simulator 2014
• Train Simulator 2014
• Helicopter Simulator: Search and Rescue (Amazon PCDD, sadly doesn't work for me)
• Airport Firefighter Simulator (Amazon PCDD)
• Euro Truck Simulator 2 Gold Edition

Eventually I will also get "Der Omnibussimulator: OMSI 2", but it was just released so I will definitely wait a while before picking that up. I have yet to go near any kind of Farm or Agriculture Simulator, but from what I've heard they are supposed to be extremely entertaining. But for now I think I am going to stick to the more casual simulators such as the Silent Hunter and and OpFlash/ArmA series.

 

[Solid-Snake-Eyes]

I read today that the sequel to that 1000000000000 game is going to be free on iOS for the first day, fyi.

They don't really differentiate simulator types in that article but in my mind the vehicle simulators have a longer history and aren't as silly as Woodcutter Simulator or Street Sweeper Simulator.

I don't think people really make fun of the vehicle simulators.

Except if you are Asheskitty and you pay $30 for one. Then we make fun of you.

PM for the codes below:

Dear Esther
Capsized
Burnout Paradise tUB
Medal of Honor

Gettysburg
A Game of Dwarves
Defenders of Ardania
Avadon: The Black Fortress

And if no one asks for a code by the time I get the next batch ready, I'll just dump it in the open, for the lurkers... (don't let them win)

Spoder doesn't want any of the games, but he would love one of those complimentary penis pics.
