haha, bocks is a reference to someone's sig on this forum... can't remember who's it was. it went something like 'i carfved a BOCKS in hammur!'

I always thought that was funny... moving on.

So I ordered the retail box version from gamestop and got it in the mail today, and I'm a little puzzled.

I thought there were supposed to be seperate keys for each game, and yet there is only one.

wtf?

SoBe Green · 10-09-2007, 09:06 PM

No if there was you could sell individual games. This way your stuck with them

StrickNine · 10-10-2007, 12:04 AM

ahh i see. Once i entered the key that came with the box, it put a little GIFT icon next to HL2 and HL2 EP1. I clicked on em and it gives me the option to send to a friend. pretty sweet.

That "I carved a bocks in hammur" is nodnarb's signature.

well what you call sweet i call retarded, i dont buy games to give away. if i know somebody that doesn't have a game i do, i tell them to buy it there own damn self...

Backstaber · 10-10-2007, 01:05 AM

You must have a lot of friends, don't you ...

StrickNine · 10-10-2007, 01:40 AM

only care about yourself huh? You've never bought a game as a gift for a friend's birthday or something like that?

Sh4x · 10-10-2007, 11:47 AM

You sure you got friends barron?

And I don't mean Steam friends...

Riff Zifnab · 10-10-2007, 01:11 PM

Good thing your not paying for them Barron. Go check the price of the Orange Box and then the individual prices for HL2 Ep2, Portal, and TF2. Surprise surprise not only is the Orange Box cheaper then all three together, you get some other free games too! Zomg!

Anyway, go play them they are all good (except for TF2, play FF d: )

I agree; if I were to give the game to them (as you can), I would ask for some money :P

That is of course, unless it is for a special occassion--then it is free.

you could still sell them, if you already own the games that come with the box, they get put in as "gifts" then can be transfered to another account at your desire. Just sell it, then transfer it :P

Paft · 10-10-2007, 07:31 PM

You miserable tight arses.

A friend just sent me a gift of Half-life 2 and Ep1. xxx

barronofhellion · 10-10-2007, 07:51 PM

well i think you all got me wrong, what im tring to say is, i dont buy games for myself then decide i dont want them and give them away. i buy games i know im going to play thus me not wasting my money. if i buy a game its because i want it , and i will continue to play it for a long long time, and after that , aheh i dont know wtf anyone would want to buy it ... (ie) half life 1, i have it , and dont want to gift it away to somebody because i will, have , and plan to play it again. although i have time to time bought something on a whim (QUAKE 4) , plaied about 10 mins of it and gone BLAEAHH omg i bought that wtf... in that i probably would gift it.. in fact i gave Q4 away because i didn't think i could sucker anybody to spend money on it..

hmmm well you get what you pay for imo, free games?lol... and im not paying for shit until everybody thats not seeing what going on here stops buying it and valve goes oooo ok everybody caught on to what were doing , selling games that take an hour to beat and ploying people to buy this majestic ORANGE BOCKS better put the price to normal again so people will buy it.... also im still burned at paying 20$ for epp1 and beating it without effort ... and bad vo acting and no story base for 20$... hell i remember games like hl1 where you had to hit buttons [gasp] and talk to scientist to open doors [oh noes] and well do things more then shoot combine off a ledge for 4 sections

Those Bock beers are not made anymore, at least not in the US. Why? Stainless Steel Vats. No sediment is built up anymore, and that is what the main ingredient was. Any American brewed Bock beer, is a farce to it's roots.
