    Everyone just received the Skyrim - Dawnguard DLC, even if they don't own Skyrim. Looking at the Dawnguard Store page you'll see that all of your friends now own Dawnguard.

    Reddit confirms that you get a 700MB download and the DLC works.

    It's not known if this was a mistake or not. There's no announcement yet, but that's not unusual in either case.

    edit: For those of you who are struggling to meet the $100 account value to get into Steam Gifts, this might have given you a $20 boost. Act asap in case Dawnguard is removed from your accounts or from SG's calculations.

    It's been fixed already, apparently.

    People who downloaded it still have it apparently. The .esm and .bsa files haven't disappeared and it's still working. I'm not sure if the Dawnguard-specific achievements still work, probably not, but the rest of the DLC seems to be.

    Plenty of folks are backing up their Dawnguard files just in case though.

    Eh, it's basically the same as torrenting Dawnguard though, just slightly more hazy ethically comparatively.

    One hundred copies of Grid 2 are given away every day by Intel here: https://apps.facebook.com/intelgiveaway/

    People from most countries can't enter unless they use a proxy, vpn, etc. I'm not sure which countries are eligible aside from the obvious Murica.

    Well that was kind of frustrating, it is basically a hidden object game. Only I have no idea what I was doing. I'm certain that my clues did not match up with the picture. I just randomly clicked until I passed.

    I think only the group admins can add people now. Go to the Gamertag Masterlist thread, add your Steam, PSN, etc. details there and ask to be added to DLP Group.

    You seem to check out tho, [been on DLP a while, have a good rep on SG.com, don't have a bad rep on SteamRep], so I think you'll be fine.

    edit: And you're already in. I couldn't add you because someone else had already sent you a pending invite. That explains that.

    I was trying to decide about posting this public forum post list for a private giveaway for anyone who happened to look at the forum. That said, while the thread started two days ago, even thread starter bumped his own thread seven hours ago, so I figured it was fair game to share it with you.(my brother was the one who saw it and shared it with me in the first place)

    All of the 60-odd giveaways are still "Open for another 1 week," if you are concerned about missing your chance to enter some out of the numerous giveaways in time.

    The DeltaBladeX Ultimate Birthday Event Topic

    Now don't make me regret sharing with such nefarious characters as Big Z =/.

    And Baldur's gate enhanced for $5 US, definitely worth it, both are miles better than NWN which is itself a really good game. Great rpg games in any case.

    Nah, he used an image as a reply. I think that breaks one of our "we aren't 4chan" rules. It may have been thread-breakingly big, too: 853 × 936.

    I was the one that reported him as well. Oz then fixed the image within ten minutes. Oz is a hero!
