I got a Friend Invite from someone on Steam who, apparently, has not logged on for 8 years.

I have no idea who this person is.

Is this a common thing I'm not aware of? Like, rogue spam bots that never log in but somehow can submit invites?

Can you even invite without logging in?

Just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas. I remember using Gamegavel a long time ago, but I was kinda disappointed by the response.

I'm getting rid of some older, reasonably valuable games, but as soon as I list something on eBay it's all just people messaging me with "Why no Buy It Now? What will you take for Buy It Now? Have you considered Buy It Now?"

Most of the stuff I don't see any recent sales, in the same condition, so I don't know what the market will bear. A good reason to have an auction.

There one person asking one good question. The rest are just... people not interested in eBay as an auction site.

Any thoughts?

While it's maybe a bit over-kill for what you're describing, and it's not really a deep epic game, Nintendo put out a game called Sound Voyager about ten years ago. It's a GBA game, mostly mini-games, but you can actually play completely by sense of sound. One of my all time favorite games because it did something so different.

It's not included on the wiki, so I'll fill it out. But I completely enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone regardless of their vision.

Sent to me on a floppy disk through the normal channels (Uncle @ Nintendo ), a lost episode of The Nintendowload Xpress.

Hmm it might have been an Evony ad...

Sounds like the "League of Angels" advertisement to me. I did a thing for a while where I collected terrible pop up ad's and reported (Not on this site) about how terrible the sites behind them were. Another game is coming to mind but I forget the name...

PS: I do not support this "Game" or the people / group behind it. If I remember correctly its either a bad match 3 game, terrible card game or an incredibly bad "MMO" ...with boobs.

But the 'angels' line makes me think it might be League of Angels.

I bet you I'll find it with one of those two.

I wanna thank you all for joining me in this little support group!

And not just any pop-up ad... there's a particular one.

I was trying to tell a guy at work about it and I'm not sure I'm doing it justice.

It looked like it was for some bullshit Adult World of Warcraft game. And the gist of the ad it was just the most desperate, transparent "warning". Like 'Warning, in this game you will have to team up with a sexy, angelic creature. Do you accept?' with like a fake yes/no prompt. And I know. Cause I clicked 'No' once. Because I just had to know how it would handle someone rejecting the pathetic fishing attempt.

I also want to say it asks 'Are you a boy or a girl', which is how we got onto the topic in the first place... but the ultra needy, fucking hack marketing team warning is the real winner.
At any rate, feel free to make a warranted value judgement about my life that I've been so exposed to a particular segment of adult advertising that I'm now seeking it out to share it with others.

Sound familiar to anyone else?

Are you suggesting a "Brick Time" Q&A video? I've only heard stories...

Like all the bullshit filler Q&A videos melt at about 100-110 degrees farenheit, and quality Q&A videos melt at about 140.

Dr. Tracksuit's Q&A videos melt at 187 degrees and afterwards you can't feel your face (I mean you can touch it, but not feel it from the inside).

@camelizer:

Word. I get a portion of the Jeff promotes 'suit not vice versa.

But let's be real. Did Biggie NOT call out Bad Boy? Does anyone not know who Dre worked for when The Chronic was released?

High star power celebrities often rep their labels. If he was represented Master P, Doctor Tracksuit would arrive in Boston riding on the No Limit Tank. That's the type of medical professional he is.

1) Jeff is lying about his relationship with Dr. Tracksuit to acquire Sparks

2) Jeff is deluded about his relationship with Dr. Tracksuit

Dark stuff.

As we approach PAX, and honestly for some time now, I've been watching a lot of Dr. Tracksuit's videos. I realize this might come across as some Zodiac Motherfucker-level conspiracy talk. That said, I don't know how anyone can watch these videos and not come to a similar conclusion. Jeff is often refers to Dr. Tracksuit as his 'client'. Now watch these if you haven't yet:

Do you notice what I notice? At no point does Dr. Tracksuit ever mention Jeff. He doesn't say 'Big ups to my manager Jeff Gerstmann' or 'my agent Jeff' or any mention at all.

I don't think Jeff is actually his agent. He'd literally be Jeff's only client. It'd be incredibly strange for an international personality like Dr. Tracksuit to have as an agent someone with no experience or other clients. I don't think he represented 'The Ricker'.

And to be clear, I don't think Jeff is lying. I think he thinks he's his agent, but there's no indication The Dr. even knows who Jeff is.
