What was that Steam-like site recently that offered free games?
« on: July 01, 2011, 09:32:26 pm »
Last I heard it was moving into beta, but it's completely dropped off my radar, and I don't remember what it was called at all.

The idea was users had a limited amount of 'slots' where they'd choose which games they want to play, supported by small advertisements before (and after?) you play. The selection was full PC games, not crappy Flash freebies.

Is it still going? Could someone send me the URL? I should've bookmarked it, but I wanted to wait and see what would be in their catalog first.

Thanks.

I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

I think it is gamers gate that you were thinking about.

Aha, that's the one. :) Thanks.

Seems to have a long time to go yet. Oh well.

That is basically what I think when I see Andy's posts. I didn't say anything last night but I had to double-take to make sure he wasn't a spambot.

This guy has three posts and two of them are concentrated crazy.

I dunno, it looks more like he's talking through google translate or something. I can sort of understand what he's trying to say.

I don't think "Escaped Lunatic" has ever been more appropriate.

My best guess:

This site is deep enough for him. That's good, we wouldn't want him to take a dive and hit rock bottom after 10cm, that would hurt. There are large crystals there that are obviously worth a lot of money [the facebook and twitter icons?], who the hell left them there? What fool would leave these precious large crystals unguarded?! Unless...this is the site the ancient prophecy speaks of! The place where all crystals must be deposited in order to unlock the Outer Realms. Good thinking there, when you see lots of crystals, just keeping adding more until you unlock something. But why is it counting down? Is there some change on the horizon? Will the future have less crystals somehow? But why?! Is the mysterious crystal owner coming back for his crystals?
THE PLOT THICKENS!
