raocow's talkhaus

GOG.com is giving away Little Big Adventure.

It is done.

Stupid 12-8 shift at my new job. How am I supposed to check talkhaus while I'm hauling Christmas trees around and running all over the store straightening shit? :( If it's okay I'd like to get one of the Risk of Rain copies, too! PM'd. I would also love a copy of Risk of Rain too and you're amazing ...

If it comes down to it, I actually have a spare Steam key for Valdis Story that I got from a Humble Bundle a while back (and I never got around to posting in the game gift thread), which I would be quite happy to give to raocow if Desura can't get things together in a reasonable time frame.

Risk of Rain is good, yeah. It's a roguelike (or lite whatever) action platformer with a heavy emphasis on combat. Has some minor issues, but I genuinely like it. Helps that the soundtrack is pretty great. And yeah, the time limit is weird. Here's what it says below each gift link: Gift a copy of Ri...

Right, so I have three gift copies of Risk of Rain to give out (also a copy of Teleglitch). Gonna jump on the bandwagon and PM the links once they're actually requested instead of just posting them this time. I'd kind of prefer if requests were made in the thread rather than through PMs for transpar...

GOG has started sending out the emails with the AvP Classic 2000 keys (got mine today), if anyone else bothered to sign up for one.

Bought this game a while ago (and bought it again through a Humble Bundle last month), played it for like an hour or two, and haven't touched it since.

I should fix that.

GOG is giving away Alien vs Predator Classic 2000 for free for 48 hours so people can beta test the multiplayer component of GOG Galaxy.

Paid $8 for this bundle earlier today. The javascript browser ports are a pretty neat novelty, even if I probably won't use them much.

Humble Bundle is pretty well known these days.

They reached their goal, so Payday: The Heist will be free on Steam for 24 hours on October 16th.

So...did this project die? I only just found this thread after checking the old Everything raocow thread in the Suggestion Box for the first time in a while to see if there was any news.

The http://everything.raocow.com:3000/ links don't work.

EA is currently giving away Dragon Age: Origins on...Origin, for free. Lasts until October 14th. Also Bejeweled 3 (though that lasts until the 28th). Both are under the On The House section thingy.

So I periodically check these things and (almost, but not quite) every gift link seems to have been redeemed now. The vast majority with no notification or anything. Think I'll go ahead and bold the "I hope everyone will have the decency to mention in the thread when they redeem a key so others...

Thomas Was Alone:
Taken.

Surgeon Simulator 2013:
Taken.

yeah not sure I like how bundles have affected the indie market lol It does kinda suck that there are people who just go "I really want this game...but I'll just wait for it to eventually pop up in a bundle so I can get it for like 99% off lol", but I think most bundle sales are probably ...

HIB 12 second week games are out.

Monaco: What's Yours is Mine:
Taken.

They gave Rare a chance, at least (Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Kameo: Elements of Power, Perfect Dark Zero, Viva Piñata and its sequel, Jetpac Refuelled, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts). Then when all the stuff Rare actually wanted to make bombed they gave up and turned them i...

Now Reuters is saying it's actually $2.5 billion and will be announced on Monday:

Yu-Gi-Oh is fun, albeit unbalanced as ****. You're much better off just playing the video games (or the numerous free fan-made dueling programs like YGOPro which Konami doesn't care enough do anything about) than the actual card game, though. The actual TCG is designed to bleed as much money out of ...

For $2.5 billion. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-09/microsoft-said-near-2-billion-deal-for-minecraft-maker.html Seemed big enough for it's own thread, but if a mod thinks it'd be better to merge this with the Minecraft thread or something feel free. EDIT: Yep, it has happened: http://news.xbo...

The only thing Humble cares about is whether the game in question is already on your Steam account (they won't let you redeem the key on Steam if the exact same item is already on your account). Otherwise, they don't care if it's a key that you got for yourself or a gift. Though, if I'm understandin...

For 24 hours Humble Bundle is giving away Warlock: Master of the Arcane for free on the Humble Store:

I was very confused by TheFinalSentinel's link until I realized the url said "downloads" rather than "gift".

Also, apparently the World of Goo key I posted has also been redeemed, so that link has been removed.

I get that. I just haven't seen a loyalty discount that explicitly says "hey, this only applies if you pre-order the game" before (then again, I haven't paid much attention to that kind of stuff).
