Yeah, it's kind of a lucky coincidence (?) that ever since they stopped putting their stuff on Steam their output mostly sucked anyway.

I want Mass Effect 3
My OCD rages that I cannot complete my "collection" of games for those franchises.
I guess the reason Crysis 2 made it back was because of Crytek, not EA.
Seems a lot of the contention has to do with the games having in-game stores for purchase of DLC which can only be purchased via Origin, which Steam won't allow. :\

Thanks Colin!
I would pick up DA 2 if I could get it for $5. Probably would have by now if it ever made it to Steam. I really enjoyed the first one. In fact it is my second most played Steam game behind Dark Souls.

I hated the endings, but I would still double dip to complete the collection.
Thanks for Huntsman: The Orphange. I can't wait to play a game all about my favourite superhero visiting young children. http://youtu.be/EIMHEZOiOMo
Yes, should be exactly the cheerful tale I desire right about now.
I'm looking to pick up Journey on PS3, looks like a great game.
We should compare and contrast how long it took for Crysis 2 Maximum Edition to launch on Steam so we can ballpark when Crysis 3 will show up.
Loved that game. Amazing soundtrack and I know this is going to sound strange but I really liked the Story (because the game made it possible for me to make my own Story).

For the upcoming Winter Sale I hope there's some hidden 2013 titles that can bring some attention. For example, Knock-Knock was a game that after Halloween went under the radar but I found the level of creepiness in that game pretty high. I also found the Art Style quite interesting.

Cheers to Colin for Tropico 3!
Yeah, I spent half an hour looking for a stranger I'd met on my travels once we reached
the mountain and we lost each other in the snow
To stick to Steam, Gamefly expanded their BYOB for 2K with Bioshock Infinite, Brave New World, Mafia II Deluxe. Note that not all the games are Steam keys (Civ 4, Pirates! and Stronghold aren't as far as I can see)
aw yeah

Yay for Jshackles, no more steamprices!
Also, something very useful for Hearthstone players around here:
How to use Steam Overlay on Hearthstone:
Create a Wordpad and paste this:
Save it as steamoverlay.vbs and put it on Hearthstone's folder.
Then add Hearthstone.exe on the Add a game that is not from Steam and change in properties the location of the executable to:
It will open some cscripts, but you can ignore those, now you can use Steam overlay and Steam people can see that you are playing
NOTE: you have to change the folders if you have Hearthstone installed in a drive different than C:, also, you will also have to change Battle.net folder manually, since the four numbers are different every time.
Thanks !

My first three games that I bought on steam and retail were, Left 4 Dead Retail, Winterbottom and Rocket Knight but I have two complimentaries (Portal - Complimentary (Opt In) and NVIDIA Portal: The First Slice).

My first game on steam is counter strike source.
I received $84 in an Amazon gift card from a series of errors on Amazon's part which they rectified. Ultimately, I'd like to turn this into Steam money - is there any place that sells cards that accepts Amazon payments?
I thought I could just buy a Gamestop gift card and then just buy a Steam card from them.. but per Amazon's rules, you can't use gift card money to buy another gift card.
Arg!

First three games on steam (according to the transactions page)
Half-Life Platinum Pack
Condition Zero
Half-Life 2 Gold
HL: Added my retail key.
CZ: I believe I purchased on steam, but it was before they kept records?
HL2 Gold: Purchased on steam, but all three (and many more around it) are listed as complementary. I still have the posters, hat, and art book too. I still have my e3 2003 announce shirt too.

I'm not sure you can switch to steam bucks with your gift card money but Amazon does sell steam codes for a large number of games. They are pretty good at price matching steam during the sales so you can just buy it from amazon if they have it and input the code they give you into steam.
My first steam game was Counter Strike back in 2003/4 when I was in Grade 4. lol, actually, I found a CD key of CS online somewhere and I tried it in my account and it worked! I was so surprised. I specifically remember joining a server and the people in it were trying to jump ontop of each other to create a tower of people. Was pretty funny. My alias during that time was Soaker.
I have no idea what happened to that account. I had to create the one I have now much later. But my first purchase for this account was Day of Defeat Source.

Head over to the B/S/T thread and see if someone is willing to buy it off you (if possible).
You might have to give up a couple bucks (say $84 Amazon credit for $78) or something, but then you could just use the $78 in paypal or whatever to fund your steam wallet. It's a little convoluted, but it would work if you could find a buyer.

The first game I bought was Torchlight. I got some gifts/freebies prior to that.
Man the enhanced Steam thing is way off on my spending. :lol

No no no. Reality BITES.

A belated thank you to Hinomura for And Yet It Moves
just today. could be worse tho
Starbound beta is a magical thing and all but truth be told I'm not even all that excited about games these days. I'm just kind of biding my time for dark souls 2 in march.
ha I wish. I'm actually going back to school in january. my wife rear ended someone today and this guy from corporate audited my audit and it wasn't all that great. I only took over this position in the middle of Q3 so I'm not entirely to blame.

First Steam purchase for me was the X2: The Threat / X3: Reunion pack for £20, all the way back in 2006. Time sure has flown. And I've still barely played it.
Chin up, RealityExists. Tomorrow will be better.
Chin up, RealityExists. Tomorrow will be better.
My first games on Steam were Half-Life 2, HL2 Deathmatch, HL2 Lost Coast and Counter-Strike: Source (all included as part of HL2 retail). That was back in early 2007, however, at the time I didn't have a PC that could run the games, so I didn't go back to my Steam account until September 2010 when I finally got a new computer. I played massive amounts of hours on Zombie Escape servers on CSS, but I never ever took a look at the store. That part of Steam was completely foreign to me.
In August 2011 I finally added my first set of new games to my Steam account since 2007. Those games were The Orange Box (HL2: EP1, HL2: EP2, TF2 and Portal) and Portal 2, both of which I bought on retail. My first digital purchase on Steam was L4D2 in September of that year. I bought it at 20 dollars, didn't know about the sales back then. My next set of games were Frozen Synapse, Trauma and Spacechem, which were part of a Humble Bundle and I got by trading ref with someone on Steam. After that I got the HL1 collection (again, not in a sale).
I finally catched on with the Steam sales in the 2011 Halloween sale. Got L4D1, Borderlands and Amnesia. The best purchases I made in late 2011 were definitely the Mass Effect games (1 and 2) during the Autumn sale. Love the franchise, warts and all.

Sorry about that. The discussion triggered memories.

Something doesn't seem right. It says the first game I bought on steam was Call of Duty 4 in 2008. Prey is 2006, Before that its Counter Strike and Half Life 2.
