The Motor Rock key giveaway from yesterday appears to be working again.

Boo, I was too late. Anyone have a copy they don't want? Looks like a game I'd actually play (I used to love
RC Racers Deluxe: Traxxas Edition).
On the plus side, you were insulted by some dude that made a pixel titty game. Not exactly like a nobel prize winner insulted you.
Moderation is pretty heavy handed on the Steam community forum these days, but generally only if the developer does it or someone complains and calls the mods. Still, I never thought handing the keys to the forum to potentially unstable indie devs was a great idea.
TL;DR - First no, then write to him then after a virtual lynching and his email box getting blown up he's giving them to Groupees (supposedly).
Steam mods are pretty ridiculous. I remember the time they legitimately banned me for a week from that Might & Magic X game's forums for bickering with "OMJ uplay fuk dat" asstards.
"pixel titty game"... The answer seems obvious, my friend.
You kidding? The world needs more titties. Lack of titties in the direct cause of 96.9% of the world's wars.
I dunno.
The guy -does- have talent. I downloaded his game the other day and liked it quite a bit, it's tough but entertaining. It's just his PR skills that need work.
Yeah, it actually does look good, and the premise sounds hilarious.
That's the thing that people need to realize. These aren't companies with PR departments, full of people who have trained to communicate with people properly. These are often one-man teams, full of emotional responses, real human irritation, disappointment, frustration, and inconsistency.
There are pros and cons to this. Pros? A lot of times these are down to earth people who are a pleasure to support and bolster their confidence, grow their portfolio, and watch as they get better and put out better games. And a lot of times the ideas and methods of indie devs result in really unique, interesting games. Cons? You're dealing with the unpredictability of the human nature. When a one-man team gets upset, you see it. You don't see the public face of the company putting on a facade and dealing with things in a politically correct, robotic fashion (hell, even EA sucks at PR). And sometimes you get people who are just assholes (Paranautical Activity, anyone?).
Honestly, I don't mind it. I understand the frustrations and emotionally charged comments that come from indie devs. They're real people, and the words "human" and "drama" are pretty much synonymous. Take it with a grain of salt, focus on the important thing: The game. Don't get pissed off like the dev is the scum of the earth. He's usually just a normal dude who's confused with how things work of having some issues. Get over it, move on.
Granted if Steam keys are ever an issue, bitch until you're blue in the face. I have never seen a dev refuse giving Steam keys after a public bitchfest yet. That's how Greenlight works!
I agree with you guys fighting the good fight to get us the Steam keys that were promised to us through these bundles. Motoki is especially Johnny on the spot whenever those games get released he always seems to be in the community page
However, that post seems especially harsh. The dev already apologized and rectified his mistake. I don't think berating him and telling him no one cares about his game is valuable at all. I realize everyone gets angry when devs try to back out of giving keys (either because they legitimately want to back out, or because they are just truly ignorant about the process), but I don't think this accomplishes anything either, IMO of course.
Maybe you're new here. Mooby and Bruticis just bitch and are negative like 99.9% of the time. Especially harsh is standard fare, there. But it seems like Bruticis is posting a lot lately and people find it funny now, so there's that.
wtf mysterd.
how many times do we have to tell you robots can't cry?

It's a
"This Week Only" deal, so it might last through tomorrow, maybe through the weekend.
Pretty lame how they have Enemy Within in the main pic there, yet it has NO sale on it whatsoever. False advertising much?
In any case, I grabbed a DRM free XCOM for a buck after the 20% off code just for the Spec Ops key. Haven't gotten it yet, hopefully it comes...
My impressions of NZA:
The sniping mechanics are enjoyable, since it is copied from Sniper: Elite 2. The story of the first one was SyFy originals quality; i.e. leave your brain at the door. The level design was pretty terrible, IMO. Why have us roaming tiny corridors when it's a game about sniping? With three friends I had a good time, but I would never play it single-player. I believe the co-op was invite oriented, but they may have changed that for the second (although I doubt it...) For the $3, it's a fun evening/weekend but don't expect a lot of replay value.
Eh, there weren't really that many levels with tons of corridors, and it's not just a sniping game. You've got pistols, loads of different automatic short to mid range weapons, and even a shotgun (or two?), as well as all the different mines and traps. The short range sections of the game worked just fine.
Wii wasn't even released until November 2006 (and remember those shortages)...
Besides Nintendo is shutting down multiplayer support for Wii and NDS on May 20 2014. Affected Games.including Mario Cart, Pokemon, Super Smash Bros, Animal Crossing
Well that sucks. I wonder if people will figure out how to play DPP and BW/BW2 via other methods... I have a couple of them on my Android, dunno if online works.
