Excellent choice. Worth every penny and then some!

Never seen Steam down like this. This is truly the end of days.
Meanwhile, new indiegala bundle, seems pretty fodder-y as usual for indiegala
Yeah, I've reviewed Hot Pursuit on console before. It was quite entertaining. I bought Devastation last summer sale but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll buy the other Transformers.

Amateur; auto refresh set at 30 second intervals! It's the holidays and I want to game now that I don't have to worry about work for 4 days (or sleep)!
It's like 2004 all over again
Is the store still dying for anyone else right now? Everytime I try to hit it from my browser all I get is this
Yes I get the same error
So 23.1 million connections per second?
Ugh. I bought Half-Life 2 like 3 minutes before the chaos began and it was like a day before I could play it.

So far all bought were games outside the Steam Winter Sale. Namely MGSV: The Phantom Pain and Dragon Quest Heroes.
You mean DS3? Because DS2 SotFS was 70% off IIRC.
Is xanadu more like ys or diabloRIP Steam.
Yeah, it's a relaxing exploration game. I really enjoyed it. Lots of details hidden in the background, and really appealing to the eye.
edit: top of the page, buy Xanadu Next when steam comes back
Because Uplay was also throwing connection errors.

Hitman is 60gb. If I don't download it in the next hour before bed I won't get to play it tomorrow. 
I was still on my parents dialup when HL2 released. It was more like a week before i could play it. I know how you feel. This, this has to be some kind of ddos or something right? no way even during a sale they get 23.1 million hits a second.

I don't understand how it makes financial sense for valve to *not* scale up their hosting during sale periods.
Luckily for me, I've been playing Overwatch the past couple weeks so I can sidestep these issues.
Steam is down though.
From the information presented earlier they seem to be getting DDOS'd by a formidable actor. Not much to be done.

Right click it, click on properties > dlc, then disable some of the chapters you won't be playing today. Bam.
Now hope Steam comes back soon.
Ys.
I guess I'll be the contrarian and say I thought it was mostly empty and boring, and I usually enjoy slow burn walking simulator type games (Including Journey which was stupendous). 1 or 2 pretty set pieces doesn't save the game from being a total drag; the games story and setting just didn't resonate with me at all, and I find the ocean and sea life pretty intriguing in general.
Edit: It also didn't run particularly well on my non-K Intel CPU.
Valve HQ finding the next director for Half-Life right now. When the smoke turns white, we have the new director.

Oh, thanks for the correction, I guess they need to update their systems or something.
Because Steam is a Amazing service and the other is not that great? I mean it's down one time in a whole year and people go crazy.
It will be up in no time don't worry.

Cool 50% of all bundles. Will buy the ones I dont have as Steam cards will make up most of the cost

These single digit games sure do stack up. Have to cut some.
Kingdom: New Lands looks real lovely, but seems of limited appeal in its actual design. Don't trust I'd play it for long.
Orwell is interesting but only 20% off, so feel I can put that on hold, as I'll have all these other games to occupy my time.
Invisible Inc. is one of those games others keep saying is great, so feel you should check it out even though you're not sure you'll actually care for what it does well yourself. On the fence.
35mm I don't wholly trust I'll be into, but it seems a genuine, good and Russian enough attempt at a stark and realistic post-apocalyptic game to be worth 3.59.
Knee Deep is an adventure/mystery game focused on dialog, narrative, choice, supposed to have a (possibly accidental) peculiar, somewhat Swery-like B-movie quality to its writing.
Event[0] is said to excel at its core conceit of communicating with and developing a relationship with an AI, which is odd and fascinating.
Jotun appears to have that folklore/fairytale thematic charm nailed down, and just seems like a pleasant boss romp.
Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator purports to be a humorous game, has had a generally positive critical reception, and is like no money. So sure, why not.
Planet Coaster I've been wanting since it was released and I had no money.
Getting Inside from GMG instead, cause £8.99(WINTER10 10% off voucher code) is a bunch less than 13.99.

In its history, yes. In recent memory, no.

Question: I ordered a Steam Link (off Amazon since I get 5% back with my credit card), do I need a dongle to connect my Dualshock 4 to it? Or is it ready to go out of the box?
All hail GOGGalaxy!

What if Steam is bringing back daily sales 
I haven't finished it (I need to go back to it) but the free weekend last year was the surprise of the year for me. While I don't 100% agree with it's Stealth choices, you can customize it to be as easy or as hard as you want. Which is great if you want to mold it to what you want it to be (like me). Definitely worth checking out.
