OWF Steam group? Never heard of it. How to go about get into group?

I think MeechMunchie normally manages it/has a link to it in his signature. But he’s on holiday, so fuck ‘im.

PM me your Steam ID and I’ll message you.

Nepsotic 08-18-2012 07:06 AM

I'm pretty sure MM's the only one who can accept people though, isn't he?

And does anyone else want one? I think most of us have them, I just have no friends to give it to.

Also, aren't they incorporating Co-op into the PTI?

Crashpunk 08-18-2012 03:32 PM

Unless there's a rule an admin enforced, Any Member can invite anyone to the group.

I'm guessing this isn't him?

Varrok 08-19-2012 06:57 AM

Why would you think it's him?

gishygleb 08-19-2012 08:17 AM

Cause it's him.

Because it's unlikely that someone else wanted the name Ridge on Xbox Live, but Ridge was already taken so they used Ridg3, intending the '3' to resemble an 'E'. And now they just use that name on everything, including Steam and the Oddworld Forums.

Varrok 08-19-2012 08:51 AM

Gishy convinced me.

I figured that since the group was invite-only that invite sending would be an admin privilege.

Nope.

You're right, MM has to invite people.

Cheers for that, by the way. Whenever MM comes back he'll probably throw an invite my way. hopefully.

Wil 08-21-2012 05:03 AM

Ditto on the having a 75% off Portal 2 voucher to give away.

Varrok 08-21-2012 07:19 AM

In case of Valve games, it's hard not to get any discount

Crashpunk 08-22-2012 04:22 AM

Yeah I too have that voucher however everyone I know already has Portal 2 :/

Just send me a link to your profile, it's a lot faster that trying to use Steam's buggy search function and my signature was recently updated accordingly.

I have laboured to make that message highly visible, but I suppose most seasoned forumites mentally blank signatures anyway. Short of inserting subliminal messages at random inteWE HAVE A STEAM GROUPrvals in all of my posts, I don't think there's any more I can do.

Of course, I changed my sig while I was on holiday, but you see... *Runs*

For the record, I considered leaving invites Officer-only sensible, since it means I can invite any two-bit newb without worrying about him dragging in all his scabby mates. I'm looking at you, Nep.

I am well aware that I can't always being around, however, which is why ScrabTrapMan, Wil and Nate are also OOWFSG Officers, though that may be news to the latter two. STM (Golgotha) is probably your best bet since he's usually online both forumwise and Steamwise.

There's also a full roster of Steam - OWF username translations on the group frontpage.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to show you OOWFSG's swanky beta update version.

We also have a discussions forum, in which I've set up pinned Welcome, Trading and Multiplayer threads. Any group member with beta access can post there. As you can see, it has Wil's semi-official Seal of Sexiness™.

Finally, I also have a Portal 2 coupon to share. I can also be contacted through the Steam group's trading thread, though this thread is far from obsolete; providing as it does reminders and updates for those who rarely log in to their Steam accounts. The Steam chatroom may yet prove a worthy successor to OddChat, however.

EDIT: Also, my OWF profile uses my Steam profile as its hompage, so there's that.

Crashpunk 08-26-2012 03:34 AM

It's Oddworld Forums's Forums!

also the Beta group page looks awesome :)

Dynamithix 08-28-2012 05:11 AM

You're a month late, man.

Wil 08-28-2012 05:42 AM

KawashiSquirrel - Scraby

Nepsotic 08-28-2012 08:26 AM

Am I one of the "Trial Members"?

MeechMunchie 08-28-2012 08:30 AM

For now.

Bundles! IndieRoyale is a fairly new thing. It's basically just a competitor for humblebundle.com.



and £8 for (£50/$70) off some British indie games - and there's no filler!

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/16339

DarkHoodness 09-06-2012 09:42 PM

Crysis collection now for £10 until the 10th of September... Or each game individually for 75% off.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/108800/

Also Trine and Trine 2 are now 75% off, also until the 10th.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/35700/

(Which is awesome 'cause I've always wanted those.)

EDIT: BTW, regarding earlier posts about the OWF Steam group, my invite still hasn't come through yet. :(

MeechMunchie 09-06-2012 10:40 PM

Have you done what it says in my signature?

DarkHoodness 09-06-2012 10:54 PM

Apparently Wil sent me an invite, but I didn't receive it for some reason. We thought there may be some lag or something... Except that was nearly a week and a half ago. :S

Still I'll PM you with my profile URL, perhaps it'll work when you send one instead.

Takeshi 09-12-2012 02:34 PM

Steam saves you money on the OW games

Crashpunk 09-13-2012 12:31 AM

Yes...I guess it does.

But this thread is about game sales.

MeechMunchie 09-18-2012 09:50 AM

Magicka is on sale. Is it ever not?

Ridg3 09-20-2012 09:25 AM

Just bought Magicka, so if anyone wants to show me the ropes?

Varrok 09-20-2012 09:40 AM

I can play with you if you wish, but I must warn you that I have completed the game. It matters to some players that their partners have the same experience from playing

MeechMunchie 09-20-2012 09:43 AM

I'd say complete it on your own first. It's not that hard, and it means you'll be able to keep up with anyone you MP with later.

Me and STM are playing together, but we only got to the first level. You might want to tag along the next time. The more people the better.

DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!

For the first run I completed the game alone, it wasn't extremely hard and now it's even easier (they've added fairies who act like some sort of a second life)

DON'T LISTEN TO HIM

MeechMunchie 09-20-2012 09:47 AM

I'd also recommend a solo playthrough since you're not likely to learn "the ropes" from me and STM. Rather than playing properly i.e. with spells, we just charge around shooting everything we see with overpowered bolt pistols and SWEARING IN ALLCAPS

Varrok 09-20-2012 09:49 AM

You can't cross the beams in singleplayer anyway. You don't have anybody to do it with

MeechMunchie 09-20-2012 09:50 AM

Well, you can use shields to reflect beams back into your face.

Also, real advice: Spam volcanoes. EDDDF[RC] aka Shield-Fire-Fire-Fire-Stone right-click. Spam them everywhere.

Also, the most powerful beam in the game is QFSSAA[LC] or Super Electric Steam Super Beam ("Super" means two of the element). Things pop. Especially pink Space Marines called Aidan.

Varrok 09-20-2012 09:56 AM

It's soooo less fun alone D:

MeechMunchie 09-20-2012 10:01 AM

But important. And still very fun.

Varrok 09-20-2012 10:06 AM

QFQFASA is afaik stronger

MeechMunchie 09-22-2012 08:36 AM

I have a *FREE* copy of Payday: The Heist for Steam. Anyone?

Also, two *FREE* DOTA 2 beta invites. And all I had to do was buy a magazine for 4 quid every month!

Nepsotic 09-22-2012 10:01 AM

Can I have that Payday? I mean... if you want to give it to me.
It's just, I have a tiny game collection and no money, any game at all would be great.

But, if anyone else wants it, let them have it, I'm low priority, I'm just saying, if there isn't anyone else to give it to, I'll have it. Please.

MeechMunchie 09-22-2012 10:07 AM

Even though you're not particularly popular, most people here are too nice to fight you for it. I don't think anyone else'll ask.
