Okay, yeah, getting the "Steam is under heavy load" page.

 

[Jørdan]

Still poking at it to make sure I've got all the glitches. You might experience some delays or issues right now, I'll contact you again when I'm sure it's working.

Great thanks, I just received the second giveaway from ModBot. I'll hold of until I receive the all clear.

 

[Intheflorsh]

login troubles anyone?

Yep, looks like Steam's down. (I logged out and tried to log back in.)

 

[Anteater]

I know. Well I'm already very happy for reaching Anor Londo. That felt great since Sen's Fortress was the worst for me but I was very lucky this time around!

I fell to my death the most in the game, so Sen's Fortress was pretty bad for me, those silly blades still give me trouble, but strangely it's my favorite area after blight town

 

[Atraveller]

steam down for anyone? i cant connect to the site and the program is only offline mode.

I'm logged in, but the store is down.

 

[Tesseract]

Steam is unhappy with our (not really) heated convo about Dark Souls.

Same here.

But I want to play game test key, The Game. Sounds fun.

 

[VoidZero]

Thanks for the link fellow GAFfer. I'm a Pyro, but I'm almost sure I messed up a bit my build. Which is okay since so far I'm able to wield heavier swords but I can also use one soul arrow here and there.

Do you have the Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring and the Ring of Fog, equipping both reduces the aggro range immensely. You still have to defeat the one on the right, but it's a little easier to get close to him.

 

[Nzyme32]

Damn, that narrows down my choice of activities.

 

[JaseC]

Same here.

Didn't Lego already do this?

Y'know, Prison Break isn't the worst game ever. Sure, the stealth and fighting mechanics suck, but it's worth the £0.99 I paid for it.

The only time to worry about a game is when it's not even worth the 0.99

 

[JakeD]

Wait. Can i play dark souls only in offline mode with games for windows live down? Couldnt log into super street fighter and dark souls.

another question i have re: dark souls and GFWL... i am a few hours into dark souls, and i am using my online account. should i just start over with an offline account? or are online account saves safe when GFWL goes down?

 

[derExperte]

After completing Puddle my new indie game of the day is Race The Sun. I'm not getting very far but the music and graphics are very soothing and the gameplay seems to have some depth to it. Plus unlocking stuff is always nice. Glad I picked it up during that Not-on-Steam sale.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

It's immensely frustrating how you have to accept some trade offers using a proper browser while others will only work if accepted through the Steam client proper, and in almost all cases an error message will pop up even though the confirmation actually went through.

Oh, and I still can't invite people to groups using Fire/Waterfox.

You need to check out Cyberfox, much better proper 64-bit browser without the serious memory leakage issues of water and vanilla.

Good question, I'd also like to know this. I was going to start over offline but I have no idea what will be happening

 

[Tesseract]

must reconnect to steam so i can not play games.

OH GOD WHY IS STEAM DOWN!?!?!

 

[derExperte]

OH GOD WHY IS STEAM DOWN!?!?!

Winter sale is starting early.

Looking into why ModBot failed to edit the FF7 giveaway


So it looks like it wasn't a failed edit, it just didn't find the post to edit at all, which could be a unicode glitch. Rats. Hmm. Will keep investigating.

I love that you made ModBot talk in the first person. It'll make him so much easier to understand when he is our overlord.

Any idea when is steam coming back?

3.5 minutes

Spoiler

this is worse than asking when a sale starts

 

[Oshimai]

Oh good. Steam isn't down just for me either.

 

[Nzyme32]

i dread the day when issteamdown is down

It's what you do with your agents. They're like your own children, man!

It's not just you. Restarted Steam after a reboot and I can't connect either.
