But what's a ref? A Reference?

Ref refers to refined metal and it's basically change -- the cents to the dollars that are TF2/Dota 2 keys. 6 ref = 1 key and you obtain it either by, say, paying 4 keys for a game that's listed as 3 keys/3 ref, or via crafting.

I'm cleaning my Steam friends list - that means adding nicknames to everyone so that I know who you are even if you change your steam name... and I already can't remember who everyone is :x
I did check the steam friends gaf thread but it's outdated and there are like 20 people in it.

So: who are allalright, Macatouille and TAARGUS?

Also can wetflame, Cloudius and phantomspiker confirm that they are using the same name on steam, to make sure no one's stealing their identity?

(I've also added some people, and if anyone else wants to add me feel free to do so!)
This is a good idea, I can't remember who 99% of my friends are. Why won't everyone use the same username everywhere? It'd make things way easier for me.

It'll be 2 of the regular crate keys.

Ref can be used for the equivalent in keys, whatever the exchange rate is these days.

Thanks. Now to check whether its a good deal or not.

The Nickname thing is such a helpful addition. I'd be lost otherwise...

With 1, it is just a mod away (from the workshop)

Uuuuuh! Nice, thanks!

2. You're going to have a bit of wait time, but there is a workaround. Just play as China, build up a lot of chu-ko-nus, and eliminate all but one civ from the game. The wait times will be much shorter then.

Yeah, probably exterminating every enemy is the way to go. :D


Play TF2 or ETS2 inbetween turns...

This could be a great thing, but after getting my first speeding fine yesterday
FFS, it was in Italy, and I also noticed the familiar signal of speed radar, but my crappy resolution makes almost impossible to understand the speed limit signals, so I just assume my truck is slower than limits
I don't feel fine texting, civving and fragging while driving. :(

I really need to do this. Only how you track who is who when you don't remember, that's the question.

Back then, I did a cold blooded culling of friends who do not answer back within a week. Only ones I have left and added are the ones that gave me their identities.

That's not bad idea. I would give them a month, being generous and all, if I'll ever get to doing this. (><)

Have there been any hints or sneaky registry updates that indicate what the next Humble Weekly Sale might consist of?

It seemed we received some sort of heads-up in advance with the last few, but I can't recall seeing anything this time around.

Pinball FX2 popped up 2 weeks ago.

Amazon's DD section has a DRM filter now.

No GUN as usual. :( Have had that product page as my start page for a while now, and it never goes on sale.

CAG must be getting a nice little cut from all these Amazon links.

WTF. Arkham Origins is already 20? Lol. I knew that shit would drop quickly, but wow.

Yeah. Though a lot of games are dropping in price right now, it dropped down 10 dollars more than I thought it would for AO.

Played some hours of Trine 2 local co-op with my brother and his wife and it was really fun. The game looks great but honestly the physics are a bit shit. However, that somehow made the game even better because we kept coming up with ridiculous solutions to solve puzzles and reach the harder to get XP. Looking forward to keep playing it with them but I wouldn't touch this solo.

Bioshock Triple Pack for $15 looks very tempting. Does anyone know if the Amazon version of Bioshock 2 includes Minerva&#8216;s Den?

It should do. The only Bio2 subs that don't have Minerva's Den are the ones still in use on the Steam store: 31771 (Bio2 universal), 32748 (Bio1 + Bio2 DE) and 32749 (Bio1 + Bio2 ROW).
 
Did anyone spot any signs of Ikaruga yet? Come on, Treasure, wallet is ready!!!

Oh, yeah, Eryi's Action is out, heh. Hopefully achievements should be working now. Cards are already dropping.

That list shows Saints Row IV at $15, I'll definitely bite at that price :O

i only paid $40 the day it came out, but still i can't help but feel ripped off considering i had to put off playing it for 2 weeks while waiting for patches.

i really need to stop breaking the rule

Aye, paid only £13 I think on launch day though. Those NVidia codes were being sold cheap all over eBay.

That would be good news; hopefully it would mean that 2K is one of the publishers Valve was talking about when they mentioned a number of them were working on SteamOS versions of their games. Even if this would only apply to their more PC-focused games (Firaxis), that would still mean Civ 5 could have a Linux version at some point as well.
