    Why didn't I know about this. :(

    Go to your Steam Library, right click The Witcher, View CD Key, copy, paste, and done. It's now in my GOG library.

    Can I get confirmation on this?

    Followup on the Witcher sale - The Witcher 2 is rated at $14.99 on Steam. It's still 75% off from the list price, but Steam has that at $59.99, compared to GoG's $19.99.

    TL;DR: If you're buying both games, doing so from GoG saves you 10 bucks.

    That's for the Japanese store.

    US and Australian stores have a base prices of $19.99, so the Steam price is the same as GOG's.

    He's in all the super sekret klan groups. His contributor value is so high he's in the groups where it's impossible to not win one or two a month =P Still though, I've gotten 3 decent ones so it's a good site to throw stuff out there. Only takes a few minutes a day to enter.

    Eh, it's not all group giveaways.

    I did win Just Cause 2, Trine 2 Complete Story, and Sniper Ghost Warrior off public giveaways this month as well as some bundle games.

    This month is just sort of an aberration, last month I only won 11 games, with only GTA Complete Pack being anything of note.

    I'm also still 6 wins below my expected :p

    Look on my profile. Almost all of them require at least $100 cv though. Some of them require up to $400 cv.

    I've got three 'guest passes' to Shattered Horizon if there's any FPS multiplayer gamers amongst you. It's a zero-g combat game where you're running around asteroids, space stations, etc. Rocket packs are provided. It's from Futuremark. Yes, that Futuremark. I didn't know they'd started making games. At least you know it'll be pretty.

    Guest passes last three days from when you open them. PM me if interested.

    When I tried registering it said I needed $100 worth of games to 'verify' my account, and to help prevent spam accounts or something.

    Which really says a lot about how much money people are spending on their steam without realizing it.

    Well, it records it at the estimated full purchase price. So, if one happened to purchase, say, the THQ bundle when it was 26 games or so for $20 or $30, then they actually gained several hundred dollars of technical game value on their account.
