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.
The items are marked as giftable and tradeable, but not marketable (I think).

They're tradable.
Oh, well, that's something at least.
Been playing Race The Sun, it's an entertaining game, the gameplay is pretty simple, just avoid obstacles and pick up certain objects.
The levels seem to offer some variety, but since you always start in Region 1 after you die, it takes awhile to get to the more interesting parts of the game.
In terms of level variety, the game has different "worlds" per day (a world being the set of levels that you play in that particular day), but since I bought the game today I can't really comment on how much variety that will introduce into the game.
The game also features a leveling up system where you level up by doing certain challenges the game sets you up to (such as moving X miles, doing two perfect regions).
By leveling up you'll gain extra abilities.
Oddly enough they decided to lock several base game features off level 1, which you'll be missing a few base game features the first time you play, it's not a big deal since you'll gain access to them in a few minutes, and it serves to pace the player learning. So I can understand what their aim was with that decision, ultimately it still is an odd choice since it makes the first interaction with the game be less interesting than the game really is, and first interactions with games (especially Indie games) are important to capture people attention.
All in all, from the near hour that I've played the game, I would say it's rather enjoyable game and that I can see myself playing it a lot to kill time or just challenge myself, $10 might be a bit too much for it, I feel $5 would probably be a more adequate price for the experience.
From what I hear, GPU's around that areas of the world are just that expensive.

If on PC..unlock the FPS it helps. Especially with parrying.

Missed a couple.
War on Smissmas Battle Hood
Randolph the Blood-Nosed Caribou
Looks like I might actually craft a badge!
I was going to craft the badge before, but now I'll be in my bunk.

BioInf, TF2, Shadowrun, Black Flag, and Sanctum all just had massive updates for me.
The fire sale is for the beginning of july, a week before they pull the plug for good.
Welp, the badge page is fucked, redirecting to the profile.
Can you imagine that. They give you keys then switch the servers off. Actually it's Microsoft I can believe it.

So I was playing some Skyrim and it turns out I have access to Dawnguard even though I didn't buy it and it doesn't appear under my DLC. Looks like something went haywire a few months backs so should I delete it or just keep going?
Also I only have one person on my Race to the Sun leaderboard, add me if anyone wants more.

Dawnguard is boring.
Servizio
I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Did you mention this before? I think someone else had the same thing happen to them, but I think it was more than a month ago.
I...would keep it.
okay so we can have psa threads about certain games being super cheap on steam but can't talk about the greatness of the service overall for those that are on the fence?
I admit that I chose a poor thread title but if you couldn't tell by the tone of my post I was absolutely not on a warpath.

I for one am shocked.
That might have been the reason fellow GAFfer. I know you were not looking to offend anyone but there are more polite ways to grab someone's attention to Steam in my opinion. The main reaction of everyone was based on the title, hence why I believe you could have chosen better words to express your feelings about Steam.

Man, I don't even know if I care about the Steam Winter Sale, I bought so much shit from the Frostivus sale. And the Legion Commander Arcana.
To be honest, the PSA threads have gotten a bit annoying.
Your thread is okay maybe just a bit directionless? I dunno, not a big deal either way.

Pensive Saoirse appears to be lacking Christmas cheer. It is indeed a tough time of year for many folks.
Ohhhh nice. How big by the way? I bet Uplay will fuck this up for me regardless.
Surprised there's no mention of cloth simulation. Thought that would be a given with the sails and flags. Regardless there goes my stable 60fps until I get another card for SLi.

I like it. She looked like a girl I met in Spain at the end of HILN, and I will say nothing more of that.
Nice to know you approve.
603MB. Two MP maps were also updated.

I'd love to travel around Europe one day (something my mum did years ago with one of my brothers, who'd moved to the UK). In terms of international jet-setting I've never been anywhere other than Bali, but I do intend to go to TIFF at some point within the next few years.
Ah not too bad, cheers. I'll have a monkey around in the morning.
So no ghosts, goblins, monsters or anything?
The game looks incredibly interesting i just really, really don't care for scary games or cheap scares. It's a huge turn off.
Yes, on PC fellow GAFfer. I'm just stuck at Seath the Scaleless and with all the curses I need a break. I also need to check what bosses I still need to kill since sometimes I just don't know where to go. I also need more Humanities to summon some players to help me, I was close one time where I had 2 people helping me, it felt great.

Having family in places sure does help. I get free room and board with my family in Spain. I wish I could travel more but the costs, man.
Don't forget to visit SoCal and the Best Coast
Oh yeah, games. I sometimes play those.
I think we should erase GAF and start it from scratch.
Worth $5? or wait to see if it goes cheaper on the steam sale.

No not me, first time I've played the game in like 6 months!

Fair enough but if people get offended by the word "jerk" then....
I've also had too much wine I think.
Yes. I usually look through the greenlight selection every month or so.
What happened?

Does NVIDIA have a monopoly on physics or something?

It's their tech.
I lack the necessary skills but if anybody wants to give it a crack then go right ahead, though bear in mind that my Steam avatar will need the very same treatment. I don't stick my head into the Christmas avatar thread because I figure popping in every week and asking people to add some Christmas cheer to two avatars would get annoying.
I usually approve

I'd like to do my filmmaking MFA in the US, because if I stayed here I'd probably just wind up directing episodes of Home & Away, and have been putting pennies away with that in mind.
They bought the middelware manufacturer at the right time.
