One of the devs (it was an open-source game) I think owned the name and sold/licensed it in his own? I think I heard something like that.
The rest of the original team still continues the development with the game being called Xonotic now.

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
As far as I know...no.
There was sensitive stuff exclusive to PS2? Didn't know. I played through the PC version but never the PS2 version which is weird since I actually own it on PS2(probably cause I lost my controllers). I just bought a crimson red controller for PS2 so maybe I should try it later.
I haven't posted in here in a while, but I just came to say that after replacing my old HP Pavillion DV7 laptop (that could run Skyrim on medium-quality settings), I'm absolutely amazed that this T902 Lifebook with an Intel HD 4000 can handle Skyrim on Ultra settings (granted at 1280x720), using the high-poly fauna and texture mods with lighting/shadow fixes and AO. I thought I would lose a decent gaming laptop with the tablet PC switch, but nope. It's especially great that the weather in Michigan is gloomy and rain soaked. Makes perfect weather for some Skyrimming
(okay, that didn't sound right).

Anyone here 100%'d Rogue Legacy? I am in New Game+1. I have the door open to go beat the last boss again. I have all runes. I am missing 7-8 pieces of equipment. Farming the 3rd and 4th areas has net a few pieces of equipment, but mostly just cash or stat boosts. I am not using Level Up runes. What's my best plan to get the rest of the gear? Start using Level Up runes? Move on to New Game+2? Please no advice if you are just googling or if you're not as far in the game as I am. Thanks.

*sheds a single tear*
The only shame about the shutdown besides of course gaming becoming unplayable if not switched to steam is that I'll have uncompletable achievement listings for them on my xbox profile forever :/
I was in a similar situation and just ended up stacking grace runes and running the dungeon for minibosses a dozen times or so. Cleared up most of what I was missing
It doesn't bother me since I see an Xbox and PC as redundant, but I can see why that would bother people.
The only thing you can do is get to playing. Finish off those achievements. There are programs that will get you all of the achievements.

I don't see them as redundant because the xbox has quite a few worthwhile exclusives in my mind(Crimson Dragon huzzah!) and the cost isn't all that high to experience them. And yeah, I'll either finish them up or turn to nefarious means I suppose.
ya gotta restart steam every time before you launch the game
if you launch the game a second time without restarting the steam client you don't get achievements
That's fabulous, since the game crashes every time I alt-tab. Oh well good to know, I can go back and beat the boss on easy if I actually go for 100%
If its through family sharing, everything is individual, heck, my dad even shows up on the "Friends who play" on the games I've shared
@MNC Why not just grab a retail copy? I got mine from a charity store for 50p and key worked fine, although granted its luck of the draw
Also, if I recall correctly, opening the Steam overlay prevents the achievements from triggering for some weird reason, so don't do that either if you want to get your achievements.That's fabulous, since the game crashes every time I alt-tab.

Nope, that'd be too simple... Plus I can't actually run the client standalone any more, I have to load up another game and do it in there. Annoying, but at least the bloody thing is dying.

Focus on boss rooms, that's where all your remaining drops will be.
Moving on could help too, new items are given with frequency based on the difficulty on the area you are in.
I almost bought Prey on gamesplanet a few weeks ago but I decided I would do it later when I saw they only accepted credit cards and not Paypal (because I was too lazy to enter my credit card details and I thought the game would still be there for a long time as it had been available for years on that site).
Now I check back on gamesplanet and the game isn't available anymore, great.

Outrun 2006 is probably my biggest regret in terms of games removed from Steam, that and Blur
I really regret not buying Batman Arkham Asylum vanilla, Outrun 2006 and The Wheelman (I had it on my wishlist and bam, it was removed the same fucking day I decided to buy it).
The physical copies of games like Lost Planet and Prey are a finite resource. They won't last forever.
Either is nice to have for a play through, but I don't see them as 'must own.'
The Steamworks version of Lost Planet is being sold for $2.50 on Steam sale at this point, so the physical copy will be more expensive. Just using it as an example.

Do you have any physical game you registered a key with it? (for instance, Half Life 2)? You can use a picture of the box/cd key as proof of ownership and redeem it through support that way.
Or maybe through payment information.

Listen to drizzle.
You can also get accounts merged. Might cost money or it might be free the first time. Cant remember.

I thought Jase was saying they could not do that, I could be mistaken.

Maybe they dont do it anymore but I have heard of it happening in the past.
In the past, a picture (with proof) of a serial key was enough to redeem a steam account you forgot the password to. I don't know if that's still the case.
Edit: obviously you would need more details, I would still use it as "but I own this account, this picture of this game I redeemed it in the past is proof" on the support ticket.
I know nothing about merging accounts.
That response was in reference to merging accounts, not what you said.
Urghhhhh. Why is wishlist management such a massive pain in the arse.
In the age of JavaScript libraries, plug-ins a plenty and simple AJAX implementation does Valve conjure up something so frustrating. I thought it might be easier on the phone app but no just a remove link.
Doesn't help it's been like it for ages either. Flipping Valve time.

Time to get weird with some handsome pigeons!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
When you say "management" what are you referring to exactly? Just organizing the list?
Shackles, I think I sent you a PM about not seeing the price of cards on my inventory list, did it ever get to you or did I send it to the wrong person?
Yeah pretty much. Seeing as I've gone past the 100 mark again and having to slowly drag shit from the bottom of a very long list is tedious as fuck. They should sign you up dude hahaha. You'd have it sorted in a day.

Yeah sorry I got that but didn't have time to respond at the time. I'll send you my thoughts now...
I don't mean it like that, I typed your name in the TO field, I just wasn't sure if I've made a mistake or not.
Only reply it if you want to.

One thing you can do (although I totally agree it's a shitty way) is that you can click into the box that has the ranking number and change the number. Then scroll up and push save and it should put that game into that ranking slot.
I just finished Escape Goat, it's a very cool puzzle game with tight controls, it took me a little more than 3 hours to finish it, most of the puzzles are relatively easy but not easy enough to make you feel there isn't a challenge, I highly recommend it if you like those kind of games. Special thanks to the GAFfer who gifted it to me

I was wondering that. Don't know how they are storing each entry and if it was just an integer field to determine ranking. If you could just say swap entry 80 for entry 1 that would be a start but I can see that causing all sorts of head aches of putting stuff at the top down to the bottom. God knows if it's possible to make an array and send that all at once. I'll just let the professionals handle it hahaha.
Edit: Scratch that. What you suggested has sped up my OCD ten fold. Cheers!

Have you tried going for room specific achievements? It's about split down the middle with half about dexterity and other half being additional restrictions placed on certain rooms.
The speed run achievement is very lenient though and more about remembering the rooms rather than developing optimal solutions.

Someone should email Rockstar about removing gfwl from gta iv.

Glad it helped! I'm planning on adding a "Send to top of wishlist" button to Enhanced Steam in a future update that would accomplish something like this in a single click.
Cheers!
I was going to do Daredevil first since it looks to be the most insane :lol
EDIT: I forgot to mention there are some really cool difficult puzzles after you beat the game
