Also can't have an empty 1st page ;)

Thanks AlphaJohn :)

For those concerned, my Metro Last Light gift has been sorted by Steam. It just appeared in my inventory after three days of emails from me, with not a peep from them.

Either way, here is the link for those who missed it:

Nice giveaway, thanks :)

What happened to the PC if I may ask?

Its at "home" which is 1300km away so i'm having it couriered down here.

Hope they don't break my stuff i'm expecting the front panel to get kinda detached, holding thumbs, my rig screen and entire desks drawer contents have been put into 3 boxes one of them is 27kg :P

Eish...good luck with that, pc's and musical instruments are always stress causers when it comes to long distance hauling, hopefully yours will even boot up first time without needing any fiddling :)

Time to give back! Here's my next GA, good luck!

mmm, not really a fan of that concept, which is why I didn't endorse it with my Skyrim giveaway :P
I don't mind not entering if its preferred to only be open to those who haven't experienced it :)

EDIT: I would OF COURSE giveaway bl2 if it was added to inventory on redemtion, but this seems not to be the case (I was tempted to buy the GOTY during sale since its more bang for buck than season pass and contains more, but the base game gets lost :/)

aah, no worries. i thought the base game would appear in your gift inventory as a totally seperate element, making it easier to GA. but if its all bundled together, then that's not going to be feasible.

personally, i don't mind if you enter :) lots of super DLC.

I'm trying to create a GA but Steam won't let me buy the bloody game :(

if you have the files available locally (yes i've even tested with one or 2 "borrowed from the internet" games) you can get steam to only download the updated files, cutting down on your download time dramatically. just pop them in your steamapps/common folder where you installing the game before you start the download and steam will discover existing files and just update as needed. REALLY helps with the big games :D

I went one step further. On my laptop I moved my entire Steam folder to a 2TB Portable so when I reload I just run Steam from that location and it installs the services on 1st run for said PC. If I need to have a game moved from my desktop to my laptop I just plug in the USB and copy the game onto it.

What I have learned from this practice is if you just copy \Steam\SteamApps\common\<Game Name> files you still have to run the install in Steam, that will normally download some files, but if you find the appmanifest file as well as the game it shows already installed in Steam and you dont need to download zip.

To get the right Steam\SteamApps\appmanifest_XXXXX.acf file just check the games URL page ie:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/44340 will be Steam\Steamapps\appmanifest_44340.acf

Ah nice, I have ALMOST a similar situation, in that I've got an internal drive thats not my C drive to be my steam install location. Good to know when i format pc i can most likely be up and running even quicker. Although to be honest the whole discovery process, while long, is a crapton quicker than downloading +-450gb of data :P

I exclusively use the steam backups feature now. I backup all games that I am not currently playing, and then restore the backup when I want to play them. The days of a 100+GB Steam folder is over.

PS: I recommend that for the first time you backup all of your files and then completely delete the steam folder and redownload it from the website. That way you will get rid of all the sparse files.

Glad to see at least one person is checking the front page for giveaways. :love:
