Im starting to sift through all the games i have picked up on past sales and playing them, and god damn there are some real addictive gems in there. Been playing Beat Hazard, Bit Trip Beat, Ion Assault, Geometry Wars. Lot of fun. I have around 171 games on steam right now. Im looking at the Kings Bounty series and tempted to install that.

Nope, I'm stuck with the same curse. I don't think we had a choice back then, otherwise I don't remember why I would have done that either

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?

This is confusing, I can go into Steam > Settings > Friends and my profile name is editable. Is it not the same for you? You can also click "View my Steam community profile" and change the URL for your steam profile.


As a random aside, I wish I could add packages like the GTA collection or the Hitman collection to my wishlist.

Yes, your profile name will be changed.
However, your LOGIN name can't ever be changed. Back in 2003 or whatever, your email HAD to be your login name. and doesn't matter if you change your email address, your login name will still be that old ass email.

I would think that despite Valve being so tight lipped about things, it would be in their best business interest to squash rumors of a summer sale if there wasn't going to be one. I doubt they would want people restraining their spending holding out for something that is not going to happen.

No but you can change your display name. Within Steam go to Steam> Settings> Friends and then type in whatever name you want. It cannot include the words Valve or Steam. That is the name your friends will see.

You can also change your community id that the community url is. You do this by logging into the community site and going to your community page.

I said something similar about a week ago, but since it didn't happen last Thursday I just simply wen't outside and did things outside, in the sun, and I forgot all about Steam sales.

It IS possible, and kind of nice.

Yeah, and then you'll end up getting attacked by a shark or something. No thanks!

Yeah, Valve really needs to do something to prevent that from happening. They've got a pretty big liability right now.

I hate this so much. Why did they trick me when I made it?

We were right to hate steam back then.

Will they still have to add me with my login?

Nope. Your community name is what people will know you as on Steam.. So any activity on your friends list will be with your new community name.

Wait a sec here... wait a sec...

I didn't say I went out in the sun AND went in the ocean, baby steps damn.

^^ What footage is that from? Looks boss.
That's Daft Punk though I don't know which music video that's from. My guess would be it's from the Tron Legacy album since that's what was referenced earlier in the thread in relation to Beat Hazard.

And I'll add that Darude's Sandstorm is also a blast in Beat Hazard Ultra.

It's a scene from Tron Legacy itself. Daft Punk has an on screen cameo.

You know what's even better than the Tron Legacy soundtrack in Beat Hazard?

The Tron Legacy soundtrack in co-op online Beat Hazard with a buddy who appreciates fine-ass quality music as much as you do.

I've been playing the demo and it's pretty awesome with the right track. I'm tempted to buy it now but considering this supposed "summer sale" could happen soon, it's probably better for me to wait.

Exactly. There is no summer sale. There is nothing to see here, move along people.

If it is coming, it'll happen when you least expect it.

Why? Because of a lack of registry updates, or hints dropped from indie devs?

I'm just not sure if there's something objective i've missed here or if this is just speculation. I myself don't think it'll start tomomorow, but I would love to be surprised.

Sales like these happen on Thursday's usually. Valve likes to get in the midweek sale before the full blown sale happens. The lack of registry updates also is telling. I just don't see it happening until Thursday at the earliest.

cant they stealth-add stuff to the registry or something? i really doubt they're gonna spoil everything with them knowing people can keep track of that.
