The alpha/beta/demo were their own thing for a few months before jumping to steam
were good times
Hello, and welcome to the new and exciting gameshow that's sweeping the nation! Yes, let's hear it for....
---
With your host, fresh from his stint from the hit car racing gameshow, Megarace, it's... LAAAAAAAAAAANCE BOYLE!
Well, hello there, and welcome to Rats or Riches, the gameshow where you could end up with Skyrim! Max Payne! Civilization! Or if you're unlucky... Something about a bunch of rats in the end-times with some magic crystals. The only way we're going to find out is by playing! our! game!
---
So, say hello everyone to our contestant on tonight's Rats or Riches, MANNERBOT
I'm sorry, our cameraman appears to be drunk again. Oh well, it'll have to do. Welcome, mannerbot!
---
Now, here's how it's gonna work. I've got this big random-number-o-matic:
The Porcine Integer Generator System will be told to run around, and when some of them come to me, I'll be reading the numbers off their backs. That number will be the page of http://cdr.thebronasium.com/ 's apps page that I go to. We'll take a brief interlude then while I narrow that down to actual playable titles (and double-check against those our contestant owns), before coming back for the final roll!
---
We have our first number! Now while I break that down into a list of games for the final random roll (and reroll if necessary), we'll go to commercial.
(If you want a sneak preview, folks, feel free to do so, but I think it's more fun if you go in blind. When I break it down to the list, I'll only be talking in terms of steam IDs...)

I was wondering what the process for finding a random steam game was like, that looks like a lot of work 
Heh, I'm just hoping for Adventures of Shuggy but I know my heart will be broken. Bring on the rats and magic crystals!
I'm kind of sad I never bought one of the Chessmaster games or SquareLogic before they were removed, so it would be funny if those were on the list.
We have a list!
Looking at the prices of them, I'm going to change my original plan: You will get five items from this list. There's some great games in there, there's some... less great. There's #13.
HERE! WE! GO!
1: 12450
2: 12460
3: 12470
4: 12480
5: 12500
6: 12510
7: 12520

9: 12540
10: 12550
11: 12560
12: 12570
13: 12670
14: 12590
15: 12600
16: 12630
17: 12640
18: 12580

21: 12750
22: 12770
23: 12790
24: 12800
25: 12810
(You'll notice I took some liberties with the ordering. #13 really *needed* to be on #13.)

Yesssss! Amazing.
Hah, at this point I'm feeling kind of bad that you'd be buying all these games I'd probably never touch. Hopefully you won't be offended if I suggest that you just keep the money and buy yourself something off your wishlist to reward yourself for all the hard work that went into this? It's been fun but yeah I don't want to see you throw away your money like this. :x

I hope mannerbot can provide impressions for each of these exciting titles.

What's the dish gorrrrl.
Aren't Steam sales all about buying games you'll never touch? At least this way I'm doing it vicariously!
