Ok, this was only a puzzle if you don't like reading or looking at things before you click on them. :)

There was a HuniePop giveaway behind the smiley link, https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/o0bAU/huniepop ... :) Maybe some people missed it, though... :)

And the other five giveaways each had one extraneous character:
O https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/UMWq4/Oladykiller-in-a-bind
4 https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/xq4CL/4wolfenstein-ii-the-new-colossus
g https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/z4QLg/gobserver
0 https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/O2xKT/0conan-exiles
E https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Zqbng/Elife-is-strange-before-the-storm

Which led everyone who noticed to O4g0E i.e. https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/O4g0E/tacoma - but you didn't want that game anyway, right? Walking is for nerds, let's get back to shooting each other...


Original message:

One more Steam sale thread. Blah blah blah.

I took a look at my wishlist on the first day, but it's hard to remember why I wanted most of those games. Guess that's why they are still in my wishlist?

I'll probably buy something out of habit in a couple days, either some of the cheap stuff, or maybe something good so I can feel bad for not playing it... :)

In previous years you could check the Games Under $5 list for hidden gems, but not any more... Looking today, how many of those things are even games? And do ten renamed "UnitZ" count as ten different games, or one, or maybe zero? :)

Hmm... I was intending to try all the "Steam Awards" games I owned, since they are the good ones, right? Somehow it didn't happen. Looks like I even missed a few days of free cards, too.

Oh, I even forgot to vote for HuniePop, and after writing a review to get that stupid badge too. Oops. It's on sale in the Humble Store, but I wouldn't want to get any of that stinky bundle CV. Guess I'll have to give away the other stuff instead. Sigh. :(

Speaking of sighs, I finally installed Civ 6. Bounced off it a few times, then played some more. Mainly it feels like a Civ game, I guess?

When you're having fun in a game, have you ever taken a step back and wondered, hey, why am I playing this? If you've ever played a MMO "for real" you know what I mean... :)

Anyway, somehow Civ 6 felt just like that. I'm sure it's a good game, but I could have played Civ 2 or 4 instead, and used my money for umm, whatever.

So, as usual, this pile of words is to chase away all the lazy people and their auto-giveaway-entering scripts. Words, blah, blah, blah. Oh yeah, isn't there a script to solve puzzles now? I was intending to troll it the next time I made a giveaway, but forgot. Sorry.


Hey, I heard "Only A Northern Song" today. Figured I'd make some giveaways. No reason.

I found a "video" at https://vimeo.com/217614187 but perhaps it's blocked in various regions. Well, you know how the internet works, look around. Or don't, and just click on the FREE STUFF!!!

If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
We just wrote them like that

Ladykiller in a Bind

If you're listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are
They just play it like that

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

And it doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say
Or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern song

>observer_

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
What words I pair
Or if my hair is brown
'Cause it's only a Northern song

Conan Exiles

If you think the harmony
Is a little dull and out of key
You're correct
'Cause there's nobody there

Life is Strange: Before the Storm Deluxe Edition

And it's only there's no one there

Nothing At All? Deluxe Maybe Try Reading Edition


Hopefully I'll be too busy playing a game to read anything, so I won't bore you with yet another Steam Sale discussion. But if you have anything interesting to share, that would be nice. I'll try to remember to bump things if nobody else does. :)

Good luck! :)

Yep, like you said, in every MMO I've ever played, but usually after a couple thousand hours, lack of sleep, and forgetting to eat.
Thank you, and have a wonderful 2018, Fiftykyu :D

Guess those thousands of hours in previous Civ games made me reach the point quicker in this one... :) Should have waited to buy the deluxe ultra-whatever edition for $10 in a few years... :)

Thank you, hope you get a good one too! :)

I sorted it once, during that one big sale... Something about you could win the first ten games in your list? So I put all the expensive stuff at the top, and forgot about it. Oh well.

Thank you! :)

If you're ever unsure, checking someone's profile for "Invite Only" giveaways is a good method - if there's nothing listed, there's nothing to find. :)

nogifhere bump! The only thing that hooked me this year's steam sale is the steam link, too bad the shipping itself is about triple of the original cost, but such is life:D

I never saw it coming.

Happy New Year!!

I was really glad purchasing Way of The Samurai 3, its super cheap now.
First cutscene of the game, im half-dead from a battle am found by some villagers...
...before the actual dialogue choices to answer then appear i notice a hud/button with sword symbol is allowed and go for it. Right away i take out my sword, they run away scared. After finally stopping laughing my ass off i try to run after then but im hurt... and left on the battlefield to go or do as please.

Only restarting i could see i did had options, and every single one had a different result. Turns out accepting their help introduced me to the town, tutorials and everything else. Open world, samurais, comedy. Its awesome.

I keep not buying a Playstation, but maybe in some future incarnation when it's not a physical box, and you play them all on your pc... :) Oh well, until then I can keep waiting... :(

Oho, that's interesting! :)

Hmm, looks like I bought Way of the Samurai 4 in a previous sale, but still haven't tried it... :( Guess it's another one of those games I forgot buying, and never installed. :( Sounds like I should take a look at #3, so it can have some company... :)

Thank you! :)

From what i heard and seen WoS 4 have crazier humor going for it but all other changes are considered worse(combat, time limit, pacing). But it does make up for some of it by adding some variety with a few mini-games.

Thanks, I played civ 3 first, after that 4 and 5 just felt cluttered and overdone. I haven't seen anything this sale that's a must buy for me, but i usually wait for pretty good sales.

I can't remember much of Civ 3, not sure why. Guess they all blur together... :)

Yeah, waiting's usually the best strategy, not like they are going to run out of boxes... :) There's always another sale... :)

Thank you! :)
