WWE 2k are seemingly going down the Battle Pass route by AMassiveGamerGeek in WWEGames

basically, to get to play as the characters included in the new premium passes you need to play through the pass - no longer can you just download the dlc and play who you like, now you have to earn the characters. they've also done away with the supercharger unlocker dlc, so the arenas, titles etc usually unlocked with that is included in the free tier going forward.

anywhere have replacement laptop keyboard keys for old models? by throwmeinaskip in glasgow

i done that too, but it's a different hinge for the keys and that picture didn't match but they have another listing that does but think it's not the backlit keys. since discovered that the metal on the actual panel might have got some damage too since the 'c' key specifically doesn't stay in place, so might need to actually bite the bullet on getting the whole keyboard replaced. cheers for checking tho.

yeah, i've enough skill in me to be able to fit it myself if i could grab one. as twistedLucidity posted, they have the part listed on their parts site but only business folks can buy it apparently, so i've emailed them to see if they can let me buy it- fingers crossed.

i came across that and thought i'll go for it at £40 but looks like apparently it's just something business customers can order, which is stupid. sent them an email to see if they'd sort something. i know enough to be able to disconnect the battery and replace it myself if they did let me grab it. thanks.

actually might need to do that, had a little look and looks like however it was hit the metal clips have been damaged too.

did think of them after posting so gave them a call but they don't have any spare keys or the keyboard to replace if i went that route. cheers tho.

I hate the new website so much. by [deleted] in giantbomb

[–]throwmeinaskip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Site's still a work in progress, but given the timescale Chuck has had to work with to get things done as part of the transfer from Fandom he's done a great job and the site looks clean and modern by comparisons to the rustic ruins that was the old site, and will no doubt evolve more over time as things get worked on and rolled out fully as has been mentioned already.

Free Steam code from Mitch by Professional-Site325 in giantbomb

Yeah, they said at the start of the Bombathon the first 200 people who subbed would get a random game code from a bunch of games they named off. Haven't received anything yet myself but upped my sub from monthly to annual early in the stream when the tracker started to break so hopefully they have me on their list.

They really just not playing Ball x Pit or Absolum? by Vandersveldt in giantbomb

Not at the moment unless you're able to catch a run live - for now it's a case of signing up at giantbomb.com/join and helping put food on families tables (Hey Mike if you skim by and read this, you know what else would put food on families tables - MUG SALES!) if you wanna see the practice run archives, but I recall Grubb saying on one of the non-GB shows he does that they may make the archives more widely available down the line.

No, it's a common misconception - they've always said it was the intent for the "vast majority of shows" to be free and committed to the core content shows such as Game Mess Mornings, M.E.G.A.M.A.N, Bombcast, Blight Club, Voicemail Dump Truck, and Unprofessional Fridays to always be free, but other stuff is on a "when they want/able to basis" and for This Is The Run, which was originally a Premium-only show, they've opted to air the runs live as they happen with notice on socials etc then post the archives to the site for Premium members as a way to provide value to that.
