Sorry, I'm guessing there's a language barrier here.

You suggested that there is a privacy or security concern with Enhanced Steam.

I gave you a link to the source code--the computer programming instructions that specify the operation of the program--telling you to audit it--auditing is when you look over something to make sure everything is doing what it says it does--yourself.

I'm not telling you to run the extension (why on earth would I care what programs you run or don't run?), I'm telling you to look at the code so you can either sustain or refute your assertion that it's a privacy/security concern. This isn't some mystery black box that you install and it does a bunch of mysterious stuff. You can check it out for yourself. Either you're right and you should be shouting from the rooftops, or you're wrong and you come off as a nut. All you need to do is check it out.

Look, man.
In this file you'll see a bunch of stuff including the URLs where the extension activates.

Look:

Code: 
      "matches": ["http://*.steampowered.com/*", "https://*.steampowered.com/*", "http://steamcommunity.com/*"],
      "exclude_matches": [
        "https://store.steampowered.com/checkout/*",
        "https://store.steampowered.com/login/*",
        "https://steamcommunity.com/login/*"
      ]

It basically means that it fires up everywhere on Steam except checkout and login pages.

(jshackles correct me if I'm wrong, of course)

Sadly, not everybody can read code.

Guys, guys, bit trip runner 2 is a pretty good game. Enjoyed it for 10 hours, well worth the 4 euros I paid for it.

Agreed. Much easier than the first one, but equally good.

If I could have the entire Bit.Trip.Runner 2 game look like the first game, not just the character, I would love it more than the first. The background and motion effects just distract me too much.

I don't understand why everyone say that hitman absolution sucks. I thought it was a great game. I had fun playing it and even unlocked all achievements

It's a bad game and you should feel bad!
(Not really)
It's not what a lot of people expected from it.
People expecting a new Hitman in the old style were disappointed.
People expecting a game with solid stealth were disappointed.
etc.

It's a jack of quite a few trades, kinda meh at all of them.

I believe most of the negatives lies in the fact that the disguise system is bad or too harsh.

people were frustated that the majority of the game is a linear stealth game whereas other hitman games have more "sandbox-y" levels
the disguise system is frustrating
the game is also very unbalanced for higher difficulty levels

(just listing complaints that i read the most on the game)

I wouldn't say 'great', but I thought it was a pretty solid game. Some of the missions was a ton of fun, while most were pretty lame.

I think it was a good stealth game but not a good Hitman game. I love Contracts mode and some levels were fantastic but overall it wasn't the game I was anticipating for three years. The gameplay improvements are excellent though

You know, I love having a proper, mature discussion no matter what Thread I'm in, however a bad/troll post can be much more quoted instead of a polite and logical post. Which is a shame since I always aim for Quality instead of Quantity. With that being said I really dislike consoles wars and anything related. It's simply does not add anything to this forum in my opinion. Also, there's bad threads and there's bad posters if you ask me and then, there's things like this:

Man, I don't know how you do it, but making you angry is a foolproof way to Banville.

That's why they call you The Monk.

Yeah as good/fun as Pac-Man is, its a dam shame they only did 720p assets and also didn't include proper full screen with res select as extra options.
