Dear Aunt, lets set so double the killer delete select all.

Hey Tony any chance you can get a deal on Singularity going? I find 30 dollars for a 3 year old game insane when the console version is going for 10 new.

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.
Is there a way to use GOONCAVE for more than one thing? When I try to buy a game, it just makes me put in my payment info. There's no 'basket' or whatever.

Hey Goons,

Anyone here interested in XCOM? I'm working with 2K to get Q&A's set up about the game for those interested.

The first one is titled:

The Music and Art of the Bureau

So if you have any questions related to The Music and Art of the Bureau, post them here, I'll get them to the people at 2K making the game, and get answers back up when we get them.

I created a new thread for this by accident but just closed it, sorry about that.

Be careful for what you wish for.

I would like to know how many time they had to redesign the aliens through the development of the game and maybe show some of the design that got discarded.

Interested on the weapons. I'd like to see the concept art of them, like tommy guns and Ithaca model 37 crossed with alien technology.

I'm actually curious about the music. I really enjoyed the music on Enemy Unknown, so a few questions:

1. Will the music in the new game be created by the same composer?
2. Are they trying to maintain similar themes (Enemy Unknown had a very high-tech feel)?
3. Have they had to make adjustments for the change in era?

Seems the physical one is the same price as on Steam tho, which I imagine is what you're getting at.

And how do we do that? We hurt a lot of people...

I was waiting for Metro Last Light to get price matched on Amazon to use gooncave, bought it just now but now Steam tells me this:

That is the "Activate a product on Steam" box, not the store.

I am in Germany but the game isn't even censored here so I don't understand what the problem is. This is the first time I couldn't activate a product key on Steam.

Any ideas?

Tony, your DRM-free version of Rogue Legacy is discounted 20% but the Steam one isn't, any chance you could put the discount on the Steam version too?

I know this is a bit last-minute, but any chance of Amazon matching Steam's 25% off of Magrunner? It's been at that price all sale; not a flash deal.

e: Or Sang-Froid for that matter?

Bought a bundle on the 13th, received a Maw promo key but not Ticket to Ride or Drip Drip. I've contacted support twice and someone on a technical team is supposed to be looking into it. Is it normally this complicated to trigger promo codes when they don't pop? Whoever helped me before with the Garshasp incident got it fixed up right away.

I don't mean to be impatient but I just want to get this resolved before too much time elapses and the promo codes expire or something :(.

Good to know that I should be able to get the codes eventually :toot:. Nobody's gotten back to me since the last time I jabbed 'em with a stick. Chat is usually super helpful but it's not presented an option for downloaded stuff. If email support doesn't fix it maybe support over the phone will. I haven't tried it before and hope it's not heavily automated. Digitized voice indexes are fine but I hate trying to work with machines pretending to be people. Stop apologizing, you insincere soulless robot, I know you don't mean it.

Thanks for offering to fix it yourself but I don't use reddit and someone else with support will get this sorted, if only to stop the inquiries. I'll get those digital trains sooner or later.

The independent game shop is a great source for bundles and I still think it's been worthwhile even with the minor bugs revolving around the promotional titles. I prefer issues with the 'free' games than the purchases themselves :3:.

Edit: Everything's fixed and I've got my trains. Awesome :toot:!

I'll pitch something to my guy at 2k soon. We just had the Firaxis pack with all the Civ V content minus Brave New World, All Civ IV content and XCOM Enemy Unknown for $19.99, we'll probably do that again in the near future.

Also, we just launched our new deal of the week:

Buy Saints Row The Third Full Package for $12.49 (75% off) and get a $5 credit towards the preorder of Saints Row IV.

We also have the Need for Speed Most Wanted DLC Bundle on sale for $15 this week.
