Who here is looking forward to Battlefield: Hardline? I know Ozium is, but anyone else?
It's vile and abject horrifying glorification of violence, so no.

This seems like it'll just lead to more scamming, except now Valve won't revoke the trade.

Aces Wild! is a tough-but-fair 2D technical brawler. I've described it as the lovechild of Treasure and Platinum - it's something I could've imagined playing on the Saturn or DC back in the day. It's definitely a lot of fun - just be prepared to get your ass kicked by a giant Shiba wearing a bandana (the first boss) a few times while you're coming to grips with how it plays. ; )

Ubi is trying to dethrone EA and Activision it seems.
This is unfortunate news for most people, but if you have a go-to guy and you pay via PayPal it doesn't change much.

I'm pretty sure they've had the throne for a while now.

I see you mention it occasionally, but nothing seems worth your posting, so I haven't really taken much notice.
Well that's unfortunate. I don't really see it being for our well-being but whatever. Paypal people are still safe at least

Well they have a fuckton of deals 75% off.
I'm not going to list all of them every time =p
Do a Bat Rats giveaway bonanza.
I am waiting for reviews on the SP campaign.
Just saw the news regarding newly bought inventory games not being tradeable for 30 days. Pretty sucky. So this pretty much kills the Russian trading thing, yeah? I mean, new games are already locked, and now this. I suppose there'll be a few traders who'll buy during sales and wait out the 30 days.
Anyways, I guess I should get rid of my TF2 keys soon.
Edit: Wait, you can still first trade the keys and then the game in 2 separate trades without waiting, yeah? I guess all hope isn't lost.

Oh god I've been without internet for six horrible hours until just now.
I had to resort to reading a fucking book.

Okay, so I couldn't really figure out where else to ask this, but
I keep occasionally getting friend requests from scammers/people trying to do trades. I decided to start blocking them. After I did this the guy clearly just made another Steam account and friend requested me, I figured he'd probably keep doing this over and over again so I accepted. He then sent me a message asking me to leave him a good trader comment and sent me a clearly malicious URL. I don't really know how to deal with this guy because I feel like if I unfriend him he'll keep making new accounts and requesting that I do this. Should I respond to him?

Just a couple of spares for folks who don't already have 'em.
(Okay, that's weird. Looks like I had an unclaimed Ben There, Dan That left over from another giveaway, and Modbot can't tell 'em apart. >_< I'll have to dig up the old key info and raffle that one off by itself later on.)

Not the Robots --MB-7D28812B62D0E9FE- Taken by NightmareTrigger. 2 entrants total.
Time Gentlemen, Please! & Ben There, Dan That --MB-7D28812B62D0E9FE- Taken by NightmareTrigger. 2 entrants total.
By the way, there were some errors processing your keys...
Note: The key you added for Time Gentlemen, Please! & Ben There, Dan That was already listed in ModBot from a previous giveaway of yours, but was not taken. Updating key info to match new giveaway.
No, imo. Just keep blocking and ignoring. That's what I do with all friend requests I don't recognize. It's only 1 click, so it's no big deal for me.
Lol..modbot made both the keys same I think so..
I see nothing wrong with that. I suggest you read the Foundation series, if you haven't yet before the TV show fucks it up.
but first, read the Robot novels

I wish I could find time to read a book. I bought Gone Girl out of curiosity about a year and a half ago and I still haven't gotten around to reading it. In that time they ended up making and releasing a movie based on the book...
If he just wants the back story of Daneel then he is better off with a wiki.
EDIT: But yes, the Robot series is pretty good.
Good catch. And the giveaway receipt I just recieved was only for Not The Robots, so now I don't know if the key for Ben There, Dan That was even given out. WTF, Modbot.
EDIT: Turns out NightmareTrigger entered for Ben There, Dan That but won Not The Robots instead. I wonder if Modbot was trying to make a statement. >.> I went ahead and PM'd him the BTDT key, so now he's got both. Woot. :3
Thought maybe we'd see a drop in the tf2 key market with tonight's news, but doesn't seem to have had any major impact yet.
As for the scammer requests, remember to report them to Valve in addition to blocking, otherwise they last longer before they get shut down.
Edit: Semi-related - I just noticed last year Valve put Tour of Duty tickets half price in the in-game store, is that a yearly thing? I have a couple I might dump before then if that is the case.

it was some of the best months of reading i had in a long time. i started with I, Robot, and am working my way up through time. currently on Prelude
I enjoy reading more than gaming. Reading combined with other real life activities actually leaves me with little free time to play games. It is nice then when games, like certain cRPGs, have well written passages within.
If you want to extrapolate my predilections, the reason I participate in forums is because they allow me to read. ^_^
