It's not a service pack and it doesn't come down through Windows update. You'll need to open the Windows store (from the Metro UI) and choose the upgrade option from there.
edit - beaten.

Hurray for bizarro world... seriously...
Just glanced over the changes, apart from booting straight to desktop nothing stands out ? Or did I miss some cool features it brings ?

Here's the official thread with some of the changes in the first post: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=699325 Doesn't sound like much but overall it makes W8 a lot better.

DX 11.2 for the 0 games that use it.
Thanks, didn't want to be all "search the link for me", I didn't know it existed, just have a hard time keeping up with Gaf in general now that I haunt SteamGaf :-x
At least they still have games for win.... oh wait.
A future Steam key for Batman: Arkham Asylum vanilla, courtesy of spindoctor:
I was going to wait another hour so the raffle ends coincident with the store update (at which point I'm hoping Asylum/City are patched and keys made Steam-friendly), but I'm not sure if I'll still be up.
Edit: Oh, and I should mention that vanilla keys will also activate the GOTY version, though most of you are aware of this already.
ModBot said:I am giving away a Steam key. To enter this giveaway, send a PM to ModBot with any subject line. In the body, copy and paste the entire line below containing the key.

Good luck for those entering. I'm still waiting for a proper play session with my copy of AA.
Regarding AC I already finished back in the day, on the PS3 but I never played the Harley Quinns Revenge. The GOTY Edition sure is tempting for 5.25 with all 6 DLC's not to mention a prettier version when comparing to the console.

How do I find out how many posts I've made in either thread?
From the front page of the forum, click the number in the "Replies" column. You'll need to search for the previous thread.
Edit: Alternatively, you can just search the thread for posts made by you. This is your first post in this thread, by the way.

Friday of wiiiiiiin
A while ago (like maybe month or two) I emailed Nordic to ask about their support plans for the former THQ games, and kind of snuck in a question about Red Faction Guerrilla and GfWL.
I didn't even expect an answer at all, but got a very polite "no comment at this time" answer.
All fun games, especially Europa 1400 Gold, I loved that game when I played it years and years ago. I reckon that for non-obsessives, The Guild 2 will probably do however. TG2 seems to be in a state now where it is not catastrophically buggy, which actually makes it less jank than Europa 1400 come to think of it.
Green Light Bundle has sent out Steam keys for Megabyte Punch. Check your inboxes.
That's generally a good thing, so fingers crossed.
Good to hear, though who knows if I'd ever get around to playing them even if they were to show up.
Edit: For those with 50ppp, there is a Batman: Arkham Asylum giveaway on the previous page. A little under two hours remain.

All the other bundle sites should do the same. There are too many bundle to keep track of
The worst offender is Indie Royale since there's no account page from where you can easily access all your previously-purchased bundles, leaving you to dig through your inbox to find the link pertaining to the particular bundle you're after.
Steam if you want a Steam copy.
What do you mean Jase? Just click on 'collection' at the top of the page and it shows you your bought bundles.The worst offender is Indie Royale since there's no account page from where you can easily access all your previously-purchased bundles, leaving you to dig through your inbox to find the link pertaining to the particular bundle you're after.

Click on your account name on the top right.
But but but... there is account page.
Worst is IndieGala. The gift links cannot be linked to your profile page.
Please don't tell me that's always been there and I've just been embarrassingly oblivious to it all this time.
Sorry :/

It's been there for a very long time, maybe since the beginning.
Yeah, it's been there the whole time. They don't make it obvious though.
There's an indiegala profile link, but they only send it to you through your email.
The "key resender" actually sends a link to all your purchased bundles. There's no easy "click your profile to see all your games" option, like IndieRoyale (sorry JaseC)
Well, at least I know now!
Edit: Err, apparently I already have an account. I must have made one yonks ago and promptly forgot all about it -- I don't even have the details saved in LastPass.
Edit edit: Oh, I see, my Desura account doubles as an Indie Royale account.
Like I said before, the gift links cannot be linked to your profile page/link. I buy mostly IndieGala bundles from someone else during those Happy Hour times. Those I have not succeeded to link to my profile page. In fact the team themselves have said so that they cannot be linked due to different database information, which I believe is just laziness from their side to code
If you haven't done so yet, claim all your past bundles now.
Oh yeah.. If you didn't buy them with your email, you're screwed.
Yes, it's lazy coding.
As someone who doesn't have either Batman game on Steam I think I might pick them up at Green Man Gaming.
They're the same 75% off + a 25% off coupon (GMG20-7EKXF-UTQXX)
Batman AA GOTY - $3.74
Batman AC GOTY - $5.62
Batman GOTY Pack - $9.37

I played through Arkham Asylum for the first time a week before City, which actually made me pre-purchase City (and play it at launch). Didn't hinder my enjoyment at all. AA is a very short game, actually: I think I beat it in like 8 hours, so I don't think you'll even spend enough time with it to burn out.
This is going to be fun.
If you haven't done so already, enter the Asylum giveaway on the previous page. If you win, you'll get Asylum vanilla and Asylum GOTY once Valve makes the necessary backend changes.

I know this isn't necessarily STEAM related... But you guys REALLY need to watch this presser by Nvidia...
HERE
So far, Shadowplay (recording last 20 minutes of gameplay), GameStreaming (3ms of lag to TVs, Shield, other PCs, etc.), G-Sync (no tearing or stutter and 1ms of input lag) and other crazy stuff is being shown that is pretty revolutionary for PC gaming.

Looks like Batman friday
For all we know, shadowplay and Gamestream will be integrated into SteamOS since Valve and Nvidia are in bed on the steam machines, so maybe it is somewhat related

Oh yeah! Great point.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
ModBot will be down for the next few minutes while I update all three account passwords.
DO NOT get into collecting Desura games.

Don't worry, you're not the only one.
Actually, I think you are, Jase. I was referring to IndieGala, but got the names mixed up.
How many of the modbots account have "vicky" on their passwords?

Sup Steam GAF
Aaah, good ol' friday. Get off work, drink couple of long drinks and buy a game off Steam I have been wanting to play for more than 2 years now in a slight upbeat drunkenness. Good stuff.
