Say, if I run a Steam game, say Torchlight II, to idle then play another, say, Civilization V, will Steam still count my playtime for Civ and earn achievements?
 
So, first 5 days:

Total War: Shogun 2
The Swapper
System Shock 2
Universe Sandbox
*Ticket to Ride Online Retail
Endless Space + Disharmony
Don't Starve
Magicka
*SpaceChem Retail
Surgeon Simulator
Toki Tori 2+
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

Wow you do not realize it happening when it's only 1 or 2 at a time.
 
Yup, I totally remember 9/9/99, I was in 8th grade. I didn't own a PS1, but I played FF8 at my friend's house. I got a Dreamcast for Christmas that year, with Sonic Adventure and Toy Commander. I bought Soul Calibur with cash I received from relatives.


I skipped college that day to buy it and then rushed home to see Nine Inch Nails on the MTV awards.
 
I feel that its a good time now for this question with the spotlight for the next dailies coming around in a few minutes:

Did I mention that you all should take a clooooose look at Reus?
 
I don't know why I'm considering getting the couple of summer sale cards I'm missing with the money I've made from selling other cards.

This is what I plan on doing too. After buying the games I wanted I still have a little over 5 bucks of card sale money. Now that I hear Paradox is adding cards to some of my favorite games I'm now forced to want to keep some instead of selling them all...meaning I'm going to have to buy cards.
 
It was my first year of working (I was 16 at the time) and one of the first (if not THE first) game I bought with my own money vs allowance/holiday money.

It was also the first game I paid for with my own money from working. I started my first job that summer and was happy to be able to get it the day it came out due to that.

I bought it before the sale but I still haven't played it. This backlog man, sorry.
 
Is it weird that I'm tempted to get 3Dmark? I've had the demo version downloaded and was wondering if there were any differences with the full version
 
Please, tell me about Reus.

Reus? Reus... hmmm Reus... no, can't say I've heard of it. Any good?

It has village destroying giant rocks! And earthquakes.

Feel the wrath of the mighty giant. Burn. Burrrrrrn.
 
Completed Bastion just now. Great little game with a nice ending.

The Gaffer looked at the post. Great little game with a nice ending? He knew, deep down, that he'd found it rather dull, albeit with a nice gimmick in the presentation. Perhaps he needed to give it another shot? Perhaps indeed.
 
My GotY back then.

Fun mechanics, amazing story telling, unparalleled ost

Nothing more to add other than this was also my thoughts on the game.
