Thank you very much fantomena for Rune Classic! Going all classic with the classics~

Thanks for Fez Dusk Golem! It's one of the few things I've been missing since trading in my 360.

The other thing I miss is Full House Poker. Steam needs a great social poker game, or Telltale needs to make Poker Night 3 multiplayer. So rad.

And of course~

 

[The_Monk]

I start off ambitious about keeping it clean and clutter free but shit always accumulates. Right now, at my desk, outside of the basics I aspire to keep there exclusively (mouse+pad, keyboard), there is: headphones (I want a nice stand), earbuds, my Kindle, 3 pairs of glasses, an empty can of diet coke (ugh), a pen, a stack of post-its, two batteries, my 360 controller, and also an arcade stick.

I understand that a almost daily quick clean is necessary to remove the "basic" things we use while working near the PC.

I am a fan of that as well Monk. Unfortunately, my wife likes her knick knacks and the PC is in the living room (comfy couch gaming for me). So there's some clutter, but it isn't too terrible.

One problem I have with black/dark furniture. Dust! So many and out of nowhere. Ugh.

Definitely a fan of a clean environment as well. Our whole house has a very minimalist look to it, and everything has its own individual place. No stray papers or anything unnecessary laying around on the desk.

Nice, now you got me curious I like a minimalist look on all rooms, not only in the PC area.

Go check out all the other Gaffer's setups.

http://neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=506069

Some really nice and clean setup there. Chittagong's whole flat/apartment is a thing of beauty.

It's one of my favorite threads to gather inspiration from for a long time! I understand that, for some things it's necessary a neat disposable income but in order to keep a simple and minimalist setup you only need some creativity and you need to avoid random clutter. Right now I need a mouse pad but I wonder if the mouse on a wooden desk could cause damage (scratches) the wood in the long term or if it can be bad for the laser from the mouse.

Books and art are also things I like to consider. I would love to get a smaller keyboard and things like Usb's, 360 controller on top of my desktop which is bellow the desk. I just think that you can do more with less sometimes.

I'm always open to some good advice, one day I'll post in that thread.

[Dr Dogg]

I wish I had enough money to buy a nice house. Even a flat. Why did I move to London?

Southerns Tax! It's bad enough here in Bristol let alone the Capital. It's become impossible to get a mortgage in this country unless you earn a small fortune or have a partner and then you both need to earn better than average salaries.

Anywho waaay OT.

I'm sure you'll post your setup in that thread Monk. Some times imagination can win out throwing money at a problem.

The thing to bare in mind that a lot of the guys who browse through that thread sometimes don't understand that a lot of those guys haven't been handed a small fortune but had to work bloody hard for it. Plus I've always found it much more rewarding seeing the rewards for all the hardwork you've done pay off. Though I'm crap at saving .

 

[Dimitri2401]

I also discovered that if you get a Steam gift card in Canada, it costs $50 CAD (no tax at retail) but redeems for $50 USD + there's no tax on Steam purchases in Canada. So that's pretty awesome, saves on currency conversion and dodges tax.

Only EB Games is selling them, right? It would be nice to find Steam cards at BestBuy (I have a lot of reward zone coupons), but they didn't have any at my local store

 

[drizzle]

I know this may be a little off topic but I was curious if any GAFfer in here is a fan of a clean/minimalistic setup around his/her PC space or in their own home, in general.

I'm a fan of keeping a simple, clean space without clutter, having only the basics with some small decorations here and there to give a personal touch and I was wondering if anyone like to have their own space like that. I've been loving to improve this for a couple of years now and I can't go back since it feels so much better.

You should go to the "show your gaming room" thread on gaf. You'll wonder where all the money comes from, but some of those setups do look amazing.

 

[Li Kao]

does that count as +1 game count?

edit : i approve of the new avatar toddhunter.

And fwiw I strongly disapprove. I began to have a crush for the office lady :-/

Is there any thread for the status of GFWL games in this "rollout" process?

I know several of them were already ported to steamworks, but I still have a few games in my backlog to play:

(Halo 2 - I'm almost finishing it)
RE: Operation Raccoon City
Red Faction Guerilla
Shadowrun

I've been saving and getting small little things when I can, it's not hard to save because when you go for a clean minimalist setup you have to remind that "less is more" so unless you are after top technology items, everything else is manageable.

What is this? Is this PC Only? I want it! Looks so good, price is not half bad considering some new releases are more expensive. You just increased my hype for this game so much. I need it now, now, I like how there seems to be more than one type/class of cars/supercars.

EDIT: Only 2 Achievements, and now of them is:

Interesting.

I know for RE:ORC capcom said vaguely they were looking into all their games.
Shadowrun is MP only so I think that one might end up dying on PC anyway.

Oh my... Now I can't deal with such hype, after finishing all my FORZA's and no longer having the console (same with GT) and having DriveClub delayed aaaand been having great fun with Dirt 2 & 3 on PC you are giving me amazing news to hype for.

Can you please leave a small opinion on what you think after some time with the game, please?

is gunslinger worth it?

 

[woo and indeed hoo]

A lot of really great giveaways, thanks so much!

No kidding! SteamGAF is always generous but the last few days it has just been off the charts. It's lovely to see but I don't mind admitting I'm all a bit stunned by it all. Don't stop though! I like to see games being given away and being gratefully received .

 

[MKUltra]

Great giveaways Dusk. Can't wait for the day when we are giving away a Steam-version of RE4.

Really, I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet, hopefully if it does happen it will be alongside all the other missing RE games.

 

[Nabs]

is gunslinger worth it?

Yes. It's fantastic.

Single player is a lot of fun and has a neat narrative. It doesn't drag on for too long (5 hrs), but Arcade mode will keep you busy for a bit. I ended up putting 14hrs into the game, and probably would have more if people on my list would play the bonus stuff.

Recently I've had Elton John/The Lion King stuck in my head from the amount of generosity of SteamGAF.

Diametrically opposed to all the next gen shenanigans going on.

I've seen your picture and I like those shelves because they create room on the desk to keep it organized and clutter free.
