It's been a long time since I've been here giving stuff out, but got a bit of money, steam sale, been drinking, etc. Rules:
>$5 or less game >recommend me fantasy writer/books >no GRRM, Tolkien, or other obvious >Don't add me and beg for games >feel free to add me to play games together though
I'll give about 7 games tonight I think, and I'll probably be back before the sale ends as I am an alcoholic with too much time and little money, also I'll give out some keys I've had sitting around, feel free to be shitty and picky about it. Others have in the past.
You should look into the Michael Crichton Jurassic Park novels. They're much different from the movies and focus more on the DNA cloning stuff more than the movies.

Haven't gotten to portal 2 so I might take you up on that one of these days.
Angel Murphy
Oh cool, didn't realize/think of that. I will check that out for sure, I like JP.

It's cool

steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198156160332/ Ever read the old SW Tarkin series? They are really great and worth a read. Look it up, even if you are a casual star wars fan, the books really do the franchise justice. Explores a new character from the Imperial perspective. I'm looking for Alien vs. Predator (2010) bundle for $4

Into the Black (Odyssey One) by Evan Currie
If you enjoy space opera its very enjoyable, it gives a realistic idea to ship based combat.

The Books really are awesome. I love how it dives into the Jurassic Park lore. Checked them out back in middleschool
Grayson Gray
I read it some time ago, but look up the Looking Glass Wars, it's heavily inspired by Alice in Wonderland but a tad more gruesome. id/FightThePowah i've always wanted to try Mount and Blade Warband if you're so kind
Jackson Thomas
reccomed u World War Z teh book teh the fucking shit movie
steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198077858632/ I dont know if you've read the witcher books, but i would certainly recommend them. If you decide to buy me a game, i'd like Xcom:Enemy unknown. Thanks

Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. It is a fantastic read and offers a biting, dark, yet suble and satirical tone not only towards Soviet society, but also against the genres that influenced Picnic's story. It also inspired Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro series (both the games and book)

hey OP, i dont read books that much but my friend does. he recommends heroes die matthew stover steamcommunity.com/id/vaportrash portall 1 or portal 2 please, thanks :)
I didn't realize there was a book series. I really liked starship troopers as movies but more for the world they created. I like the EDF games too, I'll check this out.
James Foster
OP is a pretty cool dude
Daniel Ward
OP is legit, map props to him for helping anons out there :)

Yo guys, Thanks for all the book recomendations, there's a couple of you I won't be able to get this time around, about to run dry tonight, but as I said I'll be back, once again I appreciate all the different series and books, I'll definitely check them out, and if you choose to stay on my friends list, I might just let you know what I thought.
i would recommend the Dune novels & Hyperion im not after a game but if my suggestion is worthy then give it to some one that roles dubs
Oliver Russell
I care less about the gifts and more about thebooks and just want to really recommend Robin Hobbs. I've only read The Farseer Trilogy and the Liveship Traders so far, but the books are amazing. They're not really dark in the same way Nick Perumov or GRR Martin is (and those are very different in grit from eachother, too) but they're intensely personal somehow, and superbly written, with interesting characters. I never felt like I really, really, really liked anyone, but few were truly hated either, and I think that's great; nothing ever felt flat. Farseer Trilogy is chronologically first, by the way; start there.
Nick Perumov's Keeper of the Swords/Chronicles of the Rift series is also superb, but for very different reasons. They're much heavier, and very dark, very much a long fantasy epic with the world in the balance, starting on a winding road in the ass-end of nowhere. The dystopian soviet communism the writer grew up under really shines through, but only in feeling. Extremely good series, but heavier to both pick up and put down.
I don't know of anything below $5 that I want, and I don't have Steam up at the moment, so you can save any gifts for someone else, but my Steam is /id/Luckmann. I hope you find something good to read.
oh wow man, I appreciate that. I'll definitely look into those. I gotta say I like the range of fantasy, from dark and grim and gritty and brutal, to just almost saturday morning-esque style? I'm really big on just entertaining stories, things that can keep me gripped, regardless of the target audience, I'll check out both Hobbs and Perumov. Thanks
Also random key drop (no promises) >Hacker Evolution Duality: 06WYT-IX75J-Y020Q >HE Duality: Inception Part 1 DLC: 083Z2-X39WN-0YTYM >HE Duality: Inception Part 2 DLC: 0793P-Z9NAG-TF659 >HE Duality: Inception Part 3 DLC: 08AB5-DL9CN-7AIN0

I am far from the idea male. Like almost ashamedly so. But here's some more keys, again, no promises (as in, they may work, they may not, clearing out storage so to speak).
Hey OP, sorry I took long I was trying to find the title of the books I read time ago. Hach the dragon of Laton is a the good read Steamcommunity.com/id/bozzwel I know I might be late but mount and blade warband. Thanks and enjoy the read
Litterally, I just want Left 4 Dead 2. It's two dollars and I'm broke right now (At this point I'm just posting in threads hoping like a jackass)

This is OP: id/static_butcher
I'm tapped on funds for the night. I am gonna keep dropping keys, some older, some newer, if you aren't too picky, you can add me and get one, if you ARE picky, well I don't know, you can call me a piece of shit if you want. I kinda get off on the insults. That being said, Appreciate the recommendations so far. I offer one back:
>John Dies at the End.
Not so much fantasy in the style of fantasy we've been talking about here, but its a good read.
Another one that is more horror than fantasy, by Charlee Jacobs: Dread in the Beast. When I was overseas in the military I saw a lot of rough shit (not the roughest mind you), but this book fucked me up more. I highly recommend it.
Here's some more keys: >Sacraboar: 9Z8JR-HLM4Q-C9FZY >Little Racers STREET: FZMG3-24XH8-63ZZC >Crystals of Time:5A0L3-2BXJT-D25JP >Syberia 1: HKENC-KP7CW-25V5H >Trainz Simulator 12: A-26HMQZI6L-BQ87K >Trainz Simulator - Aerotrain DLC: A2LRD-8HLRN-EK6IC
chrome crash ate my post. I'd accept any game you think would be appropriate that YOU have played and liked. PoweredByGinger is my steam name.
For books I cannot recommend the Gentleman Bastards series more highly. It''s a cross between GOT, Pirates of the Carribean, and various thief stories. Very well written, super interesting world, 3 of 7 (8 counting prequel) books out, GRRM is one of the authors biggest supporters. Picture relevant. It's also hilarious at times which I normally don't like but this just presses all my buttons.
Gabriel Diaz
id/static_butcher here,
I can definitely do the friends thing. Same goes to anyone in the thread, even if you didn't get a game, and don't plan to be bitter at me for not giving one, feel free to friend me. We can play and sent each other memes and bad poetry and stuff

I'll also be submitting this here exhibit as further bait for you to accept my recommendation even if I go without the steam win.
I'll be making this here final appeal for the series. If any of my posts pleased yall anons I recommend giving the series a start. First book has a pretty good hook, the further I got into it the more I had to stop putting it down.
Aaron Brooks
Hah, I dig it. I'll check that out too. Unfortunately I'm out of gifting for the night so hopefully anyone else still here catches this announce (along with all the other announces) and doesn't resent me for not delivering. >Hacknet: 9HCYP-3V3HN-XZJFY

I like to think I'm super chill but my ex might disagree since I was always shouting in the middle of the night intent on waking her up because I wanted to make sure she was still going to wake up.

Hey, how about '' The Kingkiller Chronicle'' this is a trilogy, great books, by Patrick Rothfuss.
steamcommunity.com/id/KarlTheKommandant/ I recommend reading The House on the Borderland by William Hodgson. And if you're still doing this could I please get Red Faction Guerrilla
Dylan Anderson
op here: id/static_butcher
One more recommend, this is a comic, one i've been reading lately. I cannot recommend this enough, it is good, super good.
>sun is dying >humanity sends out probes to find habitable worlds >retreats under the water >millennia pass >humanity is nearing its end under the ocean >probe returns to surface >hope etc.

Gonna check out Kingkiller, seen it several times at the bookstore but wasn't sure about it, didn't want to just be drawn in by "flashy" covers, and I'll look into the House on the borderland too. Getting quite a list of books going here.

The wheel of time is good by Robert Jordan is pretty good
Jaxon Nguyen
You There are pretty nice, but like 1000 pages each.
is that still coming out? didn't the publisher pull out?
David Wood
Ahh don't read a lot of fantasy books let alone any books at all, if it counts check World War Z, one of the most realistic books about a zombie outbreak
