Btw if any of you could provide the SubID you activated with your win? Just trying to figure out if there's any Game that contains DLC or being a special edition. Thx for that in advance!

 

[Legolas]

It activated as "Boltgun (promo)", hope there is not something fishy.

it's steam page says it got trading cards, Check if it's got cards, then you'll know for sure, I think.

 

[Legolas]

15 mins after Vault opened, Miasma, Remnant and DBD DLC still available.
Edit: Miasma out of stock in 17 mins

Ok I'm done, The bots and the remaning people can fight over Remnant and the DBD DLC.

Thx found it, only Base Game. Looks like until now people who got Lego got an extra DLC together.

【Edit】

• 2 Games this time come with DLC.
  • LEGO® 2K Drive
  • Remnant Ashes
• 1 Game might add extra Game in future.
  • System Shock Pre-Order

For me, the Vault was a lot more janky this month than last month. It took me much longer to get it to load properly. I narrowly missed my first choice, Lego 2K Drive. I was able to get all the way to the last step, but when I clicked the final "Submit" button, I got an error message that the game was no longer available.

My second choice was System Shock, but that was the first game to go out of stock (it was out of stock before I even got the page to load for the first time).

So I had to settle for Miasma Chronicles. Looks like an alright game, but I would have been much happier with one of my first two choices. I'm guessing one or both of them will eventually get bundled somewhere further down the road, so I guess I'll try to look forward to that!

Probably some bad news for people... AWA Calendar got nerfed.

 

[DanteFromHell89]

No, not like that. I already told once that I have a specific pattern:
1st attempt: Start with trees. Win (so that the next games is not so boring and long due to the "longer" timer).
2-14th attempts: NOT to win.
Then everything depends on the malus. If it's +7, then:
Don't win before digging the ground, it's 15-20th attmpts.
21th attempt: win the last one, with digging.
If malus is +5, then I do not win to the archers. Attempts 15-18.
19. Win archers.
20. There are no chances, so try to win 0.01 with the roots.
21. Win digging.
22-24 remain as a spare if I badly failed with digging, or to compensate for the time when the challenges are opened at different times.

Oh, a scheme?! Fascinating!^^

It should be noted here that the keys don't really make sense for me, because the last time I won something and I didn't have it in the library, I can't even remember when. Maybe last fall? Yes, there are still games that I did not win, or rather I won many times only non-working keys, I took a few of them in the Arena, thanks to the good people for this, but these are very rare cases, and there is nothing new and will not appear there. There is no point in giving them to the Arena, because there are already plenty of keys for popular games there, they will just lie there as a dead load (how many months will no one need Red Faction or Hard Reset there?) and no one will defeat the greatness of MaxLevch, and on the wishlists already for a long time no one had anything common left. So it's basically winnings for the sake of giveaways. And yes, for the Sakura hunt. I have quite a bit left, but I have almost run out of options.

Fair enough.

If an anime was made based on a franchise, it's probably because no one needs it.

1) I haven't said no one needs that series. I've said it's NOT very popular, and it shows
2) you do realize how many anime adaptations of some obscure games/game series is out there? just like was the case in US in 80's, if anything OVA/TV-anime is more likely were created as some kind of a commercial for the game and not 'cause the game itself is already a popular enough media.

It would be more interesting to mention that more than 15 games were released in the series. What is not done with series that are not popular in any way.

I've said already - series could be very popular in Japan, but not as popular by the same merrits worldwide, especially back then.
Comparing to some really popular jrpg series like Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star etc., and even not series but single games (Chrono Trigger, for example) it become obvious tat this series wasn't very popular overal.
Btw, you know what would be REALY more interesting to mention? How many of those 15 games got overseas realeases 'cause back at that time that was the merrit of popularity - if the game is popular enough company will get the risks and will spend some cash to localize the game outside of Japan, and, I'm pretty sure that you aware of this fact, it wasn't the case for many MANY series, sadly.

But I'm interested in something else - what are we arguing about?
Because I don't understand something.
There is one series that is not very popular. There is another series that is not very popular. There is a third series, which is not very popular. And there is a character in one of the series that almost no one knows outside of fanbase. But each of them has quite enough number of fans.

Imho, there's a quite big gap between 'something popular' and 'something getting the fanbase'.
For example, there's that anime OVA series called FLCL/Furi-Kuri. Many ppl heard about it, many started to watch it but dropped after like 1-2.5 episodes. I'd say the majority did that, judging by what I've seen in the anime community russian or english speaking.
But at the same time I've heard many good things about it after I've watched, and the fans of that anime (like me myself) are very vocal about it.
Also what we had a couple of years ago, that anime got the second and third season even though it wasn't very popular and it was kinda old (the original was realeased in 2000, the continuation were released in 2017, as far as I can remember, and there were nothing in between).
What's even funnier, even though I've never heard those two new seasons got any true recognition (if anything, most of the true fans of the original hated it, me included) and any news about anything FLCL died out far less than in one year, it got anounced that it will get another one or two seasons continuation this/next year.
So, in the end, I'd say it's NOT a popular anime series, it's VERY niche ('cause it's very experimental) and yet it has it's own fanbase and it get's new seasons after more than a decade. So for me it's obvious that having something revisited not equal to the thing being immensively popular.

Otherwise I wasn't arguing about anything else, albeit I'd say that Cardcaptor Sakura should be the first association with the wod 'sakura' but only if you're a boomer enough (there's a chance that the majority of millennials haven't even watched that series at all), and also it's just my own opinion, hehe^^

All I said is that this character might be a less obvious reference than some other name/title. If we throw out some strange excesses, when someone was make laugh by a random word, or offended by a random word, then that conversation ended where it began. A joke (very subtle and niche), then a joke in return (so niche too). The end.

Now I don't get it...have I said something wrong?

Road poles or Red Poles?

No-no, the road poles. The way that those are breaking when the car crashing into 'em))

Well nothing in this collection seems the usual Sticker Collection, even they give 200 instead of 20 for submit.

Wow!! 200 Dias is neat))Thanks for the info^^

The worst? Is there a good one?!

the java ones maybe?..

AWA Daily Quests for today (7 ARP+ Varying ARPs 10,22 ARP): Step Off!
Just click on the quest itself to activate it.
https://na.alienwarearena.com/quests/4699

The Mini game isn't loading for me in chrome again like last time, gonna try Firefox later if there's any time left. Not a big issue for me as twitch ARP more than makes up for it.

So, If I'm remembering correctly you need to score 50 pts or more in the Step Off game and once you have done it, post it and that should complete the Mini game. Do not Refresh

Spoiler: Mini Game Complete

When you see the above image, click on "Fly away" and that will take you into the Spore game which can only be played once, if you refresh you will lose it, so don't refresh. It's a space ship blaster and in this one you're blasting number balls while trying not to get hit. You can stop after 5000 pts and post it or try to get the highest score possible if you wish , and that will complete the Quest. Hopefully, they didn't change it from last time.

I still don't understand what is wrong with my question about what we keep discussing here. But ok, last time.
Sorry, but you are comparing chess with chestnuts. Tactic games have never equaled the classic jRPGs in terms of popularity, and they have always been more popular in Japan, to give an example, it would have to be Fire Emblem, half of which were not translated and were appreciated by a fairly small group of people, and which ultimately got its moment of fame almost by accident when the game was mixed up with a... dating sim... and given one last chance. What can you do, Nintendo was always better than Sega, they succeeded. On the other hand, we could remember text-rich games that always find themselves somewhere at the end of the queue for localization, well, for example, you can look at the same Danganronpa, which receives translations five or more years later. A more notable example is the Ace Attorney series, which has long been a cultural phenomenon, but which still does not have official releases for some of the series' games outside of Japan.
The End.

Just click on the quest itself and it's done.

AWA Calendar ARP nerfed and it's been reduced as you can see from Megumin's post .

Spoiler: AWA Calendar Nerf

Thanks @meguminshiro for the pic!

Does this nerfing have something to do with the H`erkow Fertility Robes that's gonna be released on Day 27 ? , or maybe we've been earning so much ARP that they had to find a way to limit it somehow. It does reduce the value of the Daily Calendar Artifacts which is a real shame, and those who didn't buy the Artifacts or who are relatively new will also be hit by this. By doing this, AWA has just opened itself up to a box of questions, I guess we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

An amazing channel with walks in my beloved free homeland with happy people and huge opportunities. May be you interested to see what Russia looks like through the eyes of simple people.
I like to watch Youtube walks in Monaco, Beverly Hills, Tokyo, Beijing, Miami and other cities. But I love Moscow most of all. St. Petersburg is also one of the most beautiful cities in the world, its views are a UNESCO heritage. There are many other beautiful cities in my country, a lot. If someone thinks that Russia is only a couple of cities, then he is very much mistaken. I have seen many big and small beautiful cities. 16 million-plus cities speaks volumes. For example, there are only 10 of them in the USA. Of course, all countries of the world are beautiful in their own way. But I really love mine

As for being "Camera phone", the stupid camera just break when I used the official firmware and the official recovery tool. Many people have this problem too.

I've just found out where the issue lies: My front camera is broken and idiotic devs won't let me use my working rear camera if my front camera is broken.

 

[WhatNitrous]

Nintendo direct trailer announced a few things, these were big ones:

Now if the announcement only said they were adding a PC port at the end

I'd buy both of those, especially since I never had the chance to play through Mario RPG fully (I could emulate it, but meh)

 

[WhatNitrous]

you'll know for sure, I think.
